Engqvist - The Caro-Kann (The easy way)

An informative guide to understanding and implementing the fundamentals of the Caro-Kann, the easy way.

The Caro-Kann defence, 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 favourite of grand masters past and present, including Karpov, Petrosian, Capablanca and Anand.

This is the fifth book from International Master Thomas Engqvist, and it 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 defence to life and provides you with the knowledge you need to put strategy into practice. 330 pages

EMMS - The Nimzo-Indian move by move

Déjà le troisième pavé de la nouvelle série Everyman (apparemment destinée à remplacer les Starting out désormais un peu périmés, après 10 ans de bons et loyaux services), consacré à la très importante défense Nimzo-indienne. Incontestablement, la formule fonctionne : le système questions-réponses est pertinent, les exercices apportent du dynamisme, la présentation est impeccable et le texte comme toujours clair et vivant. Du bon boulot.
