Wolfgang Uhlmann-an absolute devotee of the French.

An interesting story about Uhlmann is after playing the French for many years he decided to pick up a book on it and play some of the recommended lines. Well he did just that and started losing. He then threw away this book and just started playing the French his way and wouldn't you know it! Old Wolfgang started winning with the French again. Interesting story....I would have liked to know the book in question though.

Most popular openings on the highest level right now are Ruy Lopez, Open Sicilians, Queen's Gambit and a whole range of Indian defences (random order).
