Understanding The Carokann Defense

Raymond Keene, Andy Soltis, Edmar Mednis

The Caro Kann has gone in out of style as a chess opening over the years, this book looks at its development during the past century.

Compiled by three chess grandmasters and two international masters this scholarly treatise explains in depth the thinking behind a defence that has been a favourite of champions such as Capablanca, Botvinnik, Petrosian and Karpov. Even Kasparov has been known to use the Caro Kann on occasion, in one case to defeat Mikhail Tal.
