Product Details

This new series provides an ideal platform to study chess openings. By continually challenging the reader to answer probing questions throughout the book, the Move by Move format greatly encourages the learning and practising of vital skills just as much as the traditional assimilation of opening knowledge. Carefully selected questions and answers are designed to keep you actively involved and allow you to monitor your progress as you learn. This is an excellent way to study any chess opening and at the same time improve your general chess skills and knowledge. In this book, Cyrus Lakdawala examines the Caro-Kann, which enjoys a richly deserved reputation as one of Black's most reliable defences. It provides an ideal blend of soundness and dynamism, which allows Black to create counterplay from a solid platform. Lakdawala shares his experience and knowledge of the Caro-Kann, presents a repertoire for Black and provides answers to all the key questions.

• My favorite Caro-Kann book ever. Jeremy Silman
• Convincing - a complete repertoire - Uwe Bekemann www.bdf-fernschachbund.de (German Corresspondence Chess Assoc.)
• Lakdawala's style is different from that of most chess authors. His touch is lighter and less didactic, and he's not afraid to inject a shot of humour. I like it. Overall I enjoyed this one. Anyone willing to invest some time and effort in it would have a useful, solid defence to 1 e4. Ian Marks - Chess Scotland
• This book is decidedly for the lower-ranked players, say, from around 1500 to 2000. It is an easy and enjoyable read if you want to understand the Caro-Kann from Black's perspective. In addition to having a repertoire served on a platter, this book is a great starting point. ***** (5 out of 6) Carsten Hansen - ChessCafe.com
