Caro-Kann Defence (Tournament Player's Repertoire of Openings)

The Caro-Kann defence, 1 e4 c6, is possibly Black's soundest reply to 1 e4 and has been a favourite of world chess champions Botvinnik, Petrosian and Karpov. This book attempts to provide a comprehensive guide to all lines of the Caro-Kann in one volume including discussion of the popular Advance Variation plus much original analysis. It is the first English book to cover the entire Caro-Kann defence and is translated and revised from the German edition. Alexei Suetin is a Soviet Grandmaster and theoretician, author of Contemporary Approach to the Middle Game and Plan like a Grandmaster .
