Dangerous weapons: the Caro-Kann - 2nd hand

Do you need to freshen up your chess openings?
Stun your opponents with new and exciting ideas!
Dangerous Weapons is a series of opening books which supply the reader with an abundance of hard-hitting ideas to revitalize his or her opening repertoire.

In this book, three opening specialists team up and take a contemporary look at the Caro-Kann, one of the most popular chess openings. Instead of analysing the well-trodden main lines they concentrate on fresh or little-explored variations, selecting a wealth of ‘dangerous’ options for both colours.

Whether playing White or Black, a study of this book will leave you confident and fully-armed, and your opponents running for cover!

• State-of-the-art coverage of the Caro-Kann
• Packed with original ideas and analysis
• Ideal weapons to shock your opponents
