About This Item
192 pages with diagrams, bibliography and index. Royal octavo (9 1/2" x 6 1/4") bound in original publisher's pictorial wrappers. First edition.
The Caro-Kann Defence has a well-deserved and established reputation as an incredibly solid and, at the same time, dynamic defence to 1 e4. The Caro-Kann appeals to all types of players, but is especially useful to Black players who prefer a sound platform on which to build and who are resourceful in both defence and counter-attack. Star players who enjoy using the Caro-Kann include Vishy Anand, Michael Adams and the legendary Anatoly Karpov. In this easy-to-read guide, Grandmaster Joe Gallagher goes back to the basics of the Caro-Kann, studying the key principles of its many variations. Throughout the book there is an abundance of notes, tips, warnings, and exercises to help improving players, while important strategies, ideas, and tactics for both sides are clearly illustrated.
Condition: Light edge wear, corners bumped and rubbed else very good.
