Quick slashing attacks which often win in 20 moves
- The Alapin French!

The move 3. Be3, after 1. e4 e6 2. d4 d5 will usually surprise the player of the Black pieces. Black may even more suprised
to see 3. Be3 after 1. d4 e6 2. e4 d5.

That is the beginning of the surprises Black will face. Within a few moves, at the possible cost of a pawn, White's pieces will be crawling all over the chess board. Traditionally the French is a slow, solid system but when Black is faced with White's determination to liven up the game, it gets crazy, quickly!

This opening has very little, if any, coverage in the major opening works and yet this book contains 50 deeply annotated games and 220 other fragments or whole games included in the text! From the author's database we find that White is scoring 77% of the points - there are few, if any, other openings which can match that potency.

White plays this opening like an Open Game. Recommendations, for either side, are given at the rear of the book. Also included are two late breaking games.

Rev. Tim Sawyer has been a master strength postal chess player for years. He is the author of The Blackmar-Diemer gambit keybook. He loves tactics and chess databases.


Welcome to the King's Gambit of the French Defense! White gets quick slashing attacks that often win in 20 moves. This book shows how to attack and how to defend in the Alapin French.
Semyon Alapin developed 3. Be3 against the French Defense in the 1890's. Many great attackers have selected the Alapin French as a weapon. These include: Mieses, Keres, Heidenfeld, Janowski, Rasmussen, Webster, Bullockus, Whitaker, Diebert, Rittenhouse, Purser, Hall, Motta and Diemer. It is often called the "Alapin-Diemer Gambit."
Tom Purser wrote in Blackmar-Diemer Gambit World magazine, "I have always been fascinated by the Alapin-Diemer, one of those 'inferior' systems that is surprisingly hard Upbeat."
