Product Description

Product Description
Based on the powerful Caro-Kahn, a favorite weapon of great players, readers learn how to come right out of the gate and defend against 1.d4, the most popular first move in chess. This is a great beginner's book because readers need to learn just one strong opening defensive system, and it can be used to combat all of White's 1.d4 openings. Reader's learn every option and strategy White can throw on the board, the correct plan to combat them all, and how to seize the initiative and take control of the game. Up-to-date analysis includes examples from games of the top stars. Lots of diagrams (more than 350!) and clear explanations. This powerful opening repertoire gives players of Black a complete opening system against any King Pawn opening (1.e4) based on the exciting Caro-Kahn Defense.

3.0 out of 5 stars Schiller is a great teacher of this semi-open game., 28 May 1999
By A Customer
I am just a club hack that has been playing the Caro-Kann for years. I bought the book because of Schiller's excellent coverage of the Lobron system in the classical Caro-Kann (4...Bf5). Previously I had been playing the Petrosian Smyslov System (4...Nd7). I have not found as thourough a coverage any where else particularly on some of whites more obscure gambit variations. Schiller's reccomendation to avoid alot of theory in the advance variation was tempting (3...Na6). But I am a Caro player because I like a defense that can stand the test of time. I am not sure the "Kavelek?" defense will sustain itself with a forwarned and prepared player. Schiller's line against the Panov-Botvinick attack is not the most secure Karpov-NimzoIndian transposing defense. But then I am no Karpov and it is a bit more exciting of a line. But if I wanted excitment I would be a Sicilian player. In conclusion Eric Schiller is an excellent and entertaining author. He is a gifted teacher. I am glad he wrote the book and glad I purchased it.

4.0 out of 5 stars A great book., 14 Jan 1999
By A Customer
I have never played the Caro-Kann before, but after reading this book I began playing it and winning more than I had been. I was able to understand the ideas in the book and began to build a solid position every time I played the Caro-Kann. I was also able to beat an IM rated 2350 due to the understanding of the Caro-Kann that this book gave me. However, Mr. Schiller doesn't cover much in regard to the Advance Variation, but then again you can't have everything just one book. In my amateur opinion, this is an excellent book if one would like to learn the Caro-Kann.

5.0 out of 5 stars The best book about Caro-Kann, 8 Sep 1998
By A Customer
Before I read this book I never played Caro-Kann because it was very difficult for me to learn all the ideas behind it. But this book is so complete and so understandable and contains all the underlying ideas and much more. So I started to play it with more and more success. I recomend this book to everybody, who wants to learn, how to defend with black against IMs and GMs after 1.e4. I tried to play some of this book recomendations with 2450 rating Computers on ICC and made sevral draws.
