Thank you for these books! I will investigate.

Look for a player whose style you would like to emulate. Back in the day, Fischer used to play 3.Nc3 almost exclusively. Smyslov too; he and Botvinnik debated the Winawer variation in their World Championship matches in the 1950s. In his time, Karpov was partial to the quieter lines with 3.Nd2. He and Kortchnoi played a lot of games with the variation 1.e4 e6 2.d4 d5 3.Nd2 c5 in their various WCh matches.
I like how Fischer played.
Winnover variation
Actually, Fischer never played 7.Qg4! He always played either 7.Nf3 or (most often) 7.a4
Qg4 is more up to date
Oh ok.
3. Nc3 is the strongest move but also the most difficult. But 7. a4 is nice and positional.
I like a4
Yes I also like a4, developing the bishop to a3 with a strong diagonal.

And then Fischer ran into this buzzsaw named Wolfgang Uhlmann in Buenos Aires in 1960. One of my favorite games in the history of chess!
Can somebody help me to play against the French Defence? This is usually what I play against it:
I don't really like the Exchange Variation because I think it is too passive. Thank you!
