About This Item
143 pages with diagrams, bibliography and index. Royal octavo (9 1/4" x 6") bound in original publisher's pictorial jacket. First edition.
The Caro-Kann defense can be best understood as an attempt to "reform" the Scandinavian Defense and French Defense in black's favor! In all three openings, black wants to strike at the center with …d5. But doing so right away (1…d5 – the Scandinavian Defense) will often lead to black's queen having to move several times after the pawns are exchanged, while playing 1…e6 and 2…d5 (The French Defense) makes black's light-squared bishop a very passive piece! Black wants to avoid both problems by playing the Caro-Kann Defense.
Condition: Edge wear with bumped corners else very good.
