Grandmaster Secrets - The Caro-Kann

Nikolay Minev
A series of lessons from a chess expert with extensive over-the-board experience with an opening. You will gain an understanding of the opening and the middlegames to which it leads, enabling you to find the right moves and plans in your own chess games. It is as if you were sitting at the board with a chess coach answering your questions about the plans for both sides, the ideas behind particular moves, and what specific knowledge you need to have. The Caro-Kann is one of the most popular responses to 1 e4 in chess. Black stakes a claim to the central squares and seeks free development for all his pieces. The resulting positions generally contain at least a degree of imbalance and the critical lines lead to sharp chess positions with chances for both sides. Many new approaches for both sides have been developed in recent years, and a good understanding of these ideas is vital for anyone looking to handle playing black or white of the Caro Kann with success.
