Chess Strategy Caro-Kann

Introduction to Library EditionThis Caro-Kann Defence book shows how to win games after 1.e4 c6. This book is an introduction for those who are new to this opening. I give my chess strategy based on games I played vs random "Advanced" players as Guests on chess.com. The book has 30 games with 171 diagrams. I scored +25 -5 =0 in these 10-minute blitz speed games.My wife told me I've had a love affair with the Caro-Kann ever since she's known me. I first played it in 1974 against IM Norman Weinstein who had won the US Open in 1973.I use strategy for my comments to explain what's going on. I follow any of these steps. 1. Describe the current position. 2. Imagine how to improve it. 3. Plan how to get there.I pick a key position every few moves to make a comment. My plan is for you to browse through the book, look at the diagrams and read the comments with ease.For those who prefer to read quickly, you can skim through the book from diagram to diagram. Note the change from the previous diagram and read any notes that interest you.Sometimes I add a line of chess engine analysis. You may wish to work out those lines in your head, or just note that there was an alternative way to play and keep reading.I've played chess for 50 years. As a Postal Chess Master, my usual opponents were rated 1800 to 2400. However, my opponents in this book are often lower to intermediate. My peak Internet Chess Club blitz rating was 2492.I assume that you can read algebraic chess notation. The diagrams have White at the bottom of the board. Thank you for reading my books. I hope you enjoy this one!
