The Caro-Kann defense, named after the German chess players Horatio Caro and Marcus Kann, is notorious for its simple solidity and is a popular chess opening that players of all levels benefit from having in their arsenal. It is a firm favorite of grand masters past and present, including Karpov, Petrosian, Capablanca, and Anand.
This book avoids overcomplicated details and endless computer variations, focusing instead on key variations of the Caro-Kann that can be committed to memory. Examining classic games to demonstrate key moves in action, Engqvist brings the defense to life and provides you with the knowledge you need to put strategy into practice.
