BEATING THE CARO-KANN
Why is playing Black against Vassilios Kotronias every
Caro-Kann player's worst nightmare?
Find out in this book in which Kotronias, the first Greek
Grandmaster ever, explains the workings of his preferred
system against the Caro-Kann.
He recommends the Advance Variation. This line has been
a favourite of such aggressive players as Tal, Nunn, Tim man,
Anand and Shot, but it is perhaps in Kotronias
'
hands that it
has been shaped into the most formidable weapon. White
intends quick piece development linked with a kingside
pawn storm
-
a
blitzkrieg
that has often swept Black away
inside twenty moves. Correct defence, as also described in
this book
,
should enable Black to avoid such a grisly fate,
but this will be at the cost of some positional concessions.
