This review is from: Play the Caro-Kann (Hardcover)

this was the first chess openings book i ever owned. i still consider it my caro-kann bible. it was written in the early 90s before the advanced variation was very popular so it is a little lacking there, but this book and a book on the Advanced Caro gives you a complete system v. 1.e4.

Varnusz' book on the Caro-Kann has been great to me. Even though it was written in '91, it still covers all the maim variations one is likely to see, including the 4. Nc3 and Short variaations of the Advance variation. This book has a great blend of variations, illustrative games, and textual explanations. I have been pleasantly surpirsed by what a fine book this is.

4.0 out of 5 stars A good book on Caro-Kann, July 19 2002

By "logen" - Published on Amazon.com

This review is from: Play the Caro-Kann (Paperback)

Ok,
First,if you don't like the variations in caro-kann don't blame the book.
The book is not a new one so there should be moves that are not valid now.

But this book will stated a very clear picture of caro-kann.

You can buy this book if you are 100% sure you want to play caro-kann against 1.e4.

Well,I hope you all know how opening books are[True for all books about openings]
There will be moves about 18[more or less] and then the symbols which will tell the end position is equal or slighty favors black or white.
The games are at the back of each variations[topics].

If you can find the latest book about the caro-kann ,it is always better to buy them.

If not,this book is good enough for you.
