Yevseev, Fighting the French - A New Concept

Nowadays the French Defence 1...e6 is one of the most popular openings in response to 1.e4. The author shows a new concept of combating it.
White plays 2.d4 d5 3.Nd2 and then he deploys his pieces according to the scheme Ngf3, Bd3, c3, 0-0, against almost anything that Black may play. This will usually lead to exchanges in the centre and the appearance of an isolated queen's pawn for White.
