The Muscle Under the Hood
So what sets this repertoire apart from other French repertoires? Here’s a brief overview of how you’ll be driving White into madness:
♚ The most combative Classical Variation you’ll find. Against the popular 3.Nc3, you’ll play 3…Nf6 in classical fashion. Against 4.Bg5, Plichta offers you a choice between the solid Burn Variation (4…dxe4) and the dynamic and aggressive McCutcheon Variation (4…Bb4)…with some powerful adjustments!
♚ Open warfare in the Tarrasch Variation (3.Nd2). Long considered to be a challenging variation, it won’t be much longer! Plichta’s novelties in the Open Tarrasch (3…c5) will radically change White’s calculus with a surprising innovation in the offbeat …Qd7 retreat
♚ Collapse the King’s Indian Attack. Knowing it very well from the White side, FM Plichta shows you how to take White’s best piece out of the game, and turn their queenside pawn structure into Swiss cheese by pushing your a-pawn “all the way to a0”
♚ Outclass the Exchange (3.exd5). Trick White into taking your beautiful d6 bishop and ruin your pawn structure…in return for a positional chokehold that’ll drive White crazy
♚ Give White no chance in the Advance (3. e5). FM Plichta shows you an efficient way to demolish White’s central pawn grip…While avoiding any weaknesses in yours
♚ Fry every sideline. You’ll have a tough, no-nonsense response against every reasonable sideline from move 2 in your quiver…from the Wing Gambit to the Orthoschnapp Gambit.
FM Plichta, one of the most popular authors on Chessable, is also one of the most thorough. His dedication to finding practical, high-scoring lines is perhaps unparalleled – something that’s evident in his engaging video presentations.
At over 700 lines and 100,000 words of explanation, this is your ultimate resource to playing the French in the 21st Century…and with the power inside, it may just last you until the 22nd!
So shut down 1.e4 with the sound and robust lines in Lifetime Repertoires: Plichta’s French Defense today.

I appreciate the effort gone into it. It’s helped me become better at my openings and I’m looking forward to what he has next in store. Cheers.
Mason (verified owner) –
he gives you basic principles that just works 90% of the situations – it sounded silly to me at first, but then it became a daily prayer
Kai (verified owner) –
Decent course. Compared to his other courses, this course is relatively simple and faster to learn. Probably the nature of Grunfeld opening itself could be a reason.
John (verified owner) –
Even when one of my opponents didn’t follow theory, which often happens with beginners,
Bambang (verified owner) –
As a beginner it’s easy to get overwhelmed by big repertoires but this one has the perfect number of lines and yet,
Isaac (verified owner) –
I have tried a few free and paid repertoire courses but I continued to face a challenge with them
Steven William (verified owner) –
more importantly, when we have to make an exception to the standard plan, a very good explanation of what would happen if we didn’t do it,
Anthony (verified owner) –
For taking all the fun out of my chess games. I never thought anybody would be cruel enough to make winning so easy that chess has become boring.
Ryker (verified owner) –
I’m still a fairly new adult learner and have looked at all the major courses and finally feel like I have an option that makes sense for my level and available time.
David (verified owner) –
Some courses handled the opening principles nicely
Charles (verified owner) –
At this level this course covers a sweet spot.
Camden (verified owner) –
Wonderfully Structured and Organized Course
Owen (verified owner) –
I am an expert rated chess player FIDE Rated 2306 who had the privilege to beta-test this wonderful course. I went through some of the chapters of this course namely,
Kayden (verified owner) –
Also, this course is not aimed at advanced and master level therefore; it didn’t overwhelmed me with things that I don’t need to worry about at my level.
Joi Hua Ta (verified owner) –
I would never recommend this book to anybody that I would consider a beginner, and maybe not even a “casual” player (depending on the definition).
Putri Lovely (verified owner) –
I bought this course with video few weeks ago (thanks to @JRHat for recommending it to me).
Avery (verified owner) –
I think many of these reviewers forget what it was like to be a beginner, or a casual player.
Ryan (verified owner) –
keep repeating basic principles annoying number of times (sometimes say it with a beard then later repeat it without the beard 😁)
Jackson (verified owner) –
Another problem I faced was during my well-planned opening, sometimes opponent would bring the queen out
Lucas (verified owner) –

Nolan (verified owner) –
In two recent wins, my opponents failed to follow the golden rules, making it easy for me to win the games.
Chelsi (verified owner) –
I’ve only reviewed all the black lines but I am liking the author’s approach of adding exercises after each chapter to make sure you are looking at the positions themselves rather than just routinely memorizing the lines without absorbing the content of his commentary.
Leo (verified owner) –
Now that I don’t need to invest much energy in the opening phase, I can concentrate on improving my middle and endgame play.
Aadarsh (verified owner) –
Even above beginner level, knowing the first ten moves is usually sufficient, and the variations in this course average nine moves.
Yangdi (verified owner) –
he would cover all possible silly reactions that could derail my well-thought opening, and how to deal with them
Richard (verified owner) –
Really good course
Michael (verified owner) –
