{"product_id":"win-with-the-caro-kann-sverre-johnsen-9781911465676","title":"Win with the Caro-Kann","description":"The Caro-Kann is a rare beast among chess openings. While respected as a sound and safe way to start the game, it also avoids symmetry or simplification. This allows Black many ways to keep the game unbalanced and play for a win.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTwo Norwegian opening experts provide a set of options that take full advantage of this flexibility. In the main line, you are given a choice between the 4...Bf5 and the 5...exf6 systems - but both strictly in their modern dynamic forms  In the latter, Hansen is a world-leading authority, with a wealth of experience to explain the typical mistakes White makes when facing this deceptively tricky line. By studying his material, you will be well ahead of the game in this rapidly-evolving system. For instance, the critical improvements over the Duda-Carlsen game in 2020 were already in Hansen's files from two years earlier.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe other recommended systems for Black are also aggressive and very much the '21st-century Caro-Kann'. It's 3...c5 against the Advance, in which Hansen is also an outstanding specialist. The Panov Attack is answered with ...g6 lines - strategically ideal, and nowadays backed up by amazing modern computer analysis. Against the Two Knights, we are offered an ...exf6 option as well as the ...Bg4 approach. The repertoire is completed with good sensible recommendations against almost every other conceivable move White can throw at the Caro-Kann. This extremely up-to-date book has an innovative structure, with 'lessons', model games and theory 'magnifiers'.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Sverre Johnsen, Torbjorn Ringdal Hansen\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1911465678\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781911465676\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Gambit Publications\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/31\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 240\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.90lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.70h x 6.70w x 0.80d","brand":"Sverre Johnsen","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44046039941375,"sku":"9781911465676","price":24.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_4691b4f4-89c0-4d2f-8eb3-70d015022978.jpg?v=1684982265","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/win-with-the-caro-kann-sverre-johnsen-9781911465676","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
