Modernized Caro-Kann, A Complete Repertoire for Black

Modernized Caro-Kann, A Complete Repertoire for Black. Livre en anglais sur les ouvertures au jeu d'échecs. This  book  is  written  for  the  Black  side, though new ideas for White are suggested  and  old  ones  occasionally  improved. It contains not only the author's personal  take  on  how  to  deal  with  all major  White  tries  after  1.e4  c6,  but  also  a  range  of  alternatives  for  Black tocater  for  different  types  of  Caro-Kann player. This repertoire builds on the existing state of theory, taking it in novel, exciting  and  decidedly  modern  directions,  while  not  forgetting  about  the opening's  sound  strategic  underpinnings. The  Caro-Kann  Defence,  long  renowned  for  being  a  solid  and  reliable  defence  against  1.e4,  is  undergoing  a  renaissance  at  the  moment.  In  addition to  being  a  mainstay  in  the  repertoires of a recent World Champion (Viswanathan  Anand)  and  a  2018  World  Championship candidate (Ding Liren), it is being   flooded   with   new   and   creative ideas  from  a  range  of  other  top  players, notably Anand's Indian Olympiad team
mates   Vidit   and   Adhiban.   The pawn  structures  in  this  opening  leave considerable  room  for  individual  interpretation.
