The Exchange French: The Monte Carlo Variation In Theory & Practice is a chess book by The House Of Staunton focused on one of the most dynamic replies to the French Defense.
The main line begins 1.e4 e6 2.d4 d5 3.exd5 exd5 4.c4, and the book also explains how similar positions can arise from openings such as the Queen’s Gambit Accepted, the English, and the Petroff. Ukrainian-French Grandmaster Vladimir Okhotnik has kept this variation in his repertoire for over 50 years and says he has played it in more than 200 serious tournament games.
This is the first book devoted exclusively to the Monte Carlo Variation, with coverage of both positional ideas and tactical chances for White and Black. If you want to study active play against the French Defense, browse more in Chess Books or compare it with Queen's Gambit Declined - Tarrasch - Chess Lecture - Volume 80.
About the author: Vladimir Okhotnik won the Ukrainian Championship in 1979 and has won the World Senior Championship twice. His previous books include Carpathian Warrior, vols 1 & 2.
