The book is in three parts. Part One, besides introducing the book generally, covers the very first moves of the Scandinavian Defense and White’s early deviations. Anyone who plays the Scandinavian will find this section quite helpful. Then Part Two covers Qd6 + g6 systems, while Part Three covers the very different Nf6 system. 176 pages
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
Retour à du plus digeste (donc sans doute plus utile au joueur lambda) - encore que les Starting out tendent à prendre de l'embonpoint, avec le temps. Oui, je sais : sont pas les seuls Bref, celui-ci nous cause Scandinave (je parle de l'ouverture, évidemment : le texte est toujours en anglais), et consacre trois parts à peu près égales à la variante classique (3Da5), aux variantes ' prudentes ' (surtout 3Dd6) et à l'alternative 2Cf6. Complet, donc.
