Caro-Kann Playbook is a simple safe super solid solution to your chess opening repertoire for Black after 1.e4 c6. Your plan is to play 2.d4 d5. The Caro-Kann makes your opening preparation easy. You do not need to memorize thousands of variations. You don't need to play risky gambits. Caro-Kann is a repeatable sound choice that allows you to quickly develop all your minor pieces and castle. It saves you time and energy. This book is a companion volume to the London 2.Bf4 Playbook. Tim Sawyer played this defence for years on the Internet Chess Club using SuperSolid as his handle.Black plans to win. Here are four ways that work well.1. White aggressively sacrifices too much material. Black accepts the free gifts and wins with the extra material.2. White gives up attacking and plays passively. Black gains the upper hand and wins with the more active pieces.3. White gets outplayed strategically. Black exchanges off White's best pieces. Then Black wins the endgame.4. White takes more time on the clock while Black quickly plays simple moves. White blunders in time pressure.This Playbook is a basic step by step tool to help you easily prepare to play your opening. The 200 diagrams in this playbook cover the variations that you are most likely to face. It is Black's move in every diagram. The author gives a reasonable move for Black in each position with a brief comment as to why it is recommended. Be prepared!
