Libro en inglés.

La Caro-Kann es una rareza entre las aperturas de ajedrez. Mientras que es respetada como una manera sólida y segura de comenzar la partida, también evita la simetría y las simplificaciones. Esto permite a las negras muchas maneras de mantener el juego desequilibrado y jugar para el punto completo. Dos expertos en aperturas noruegos nos muestran opciones para aprovechar dicha flexibilidad. En la línea principal, se dan dos opciones: 4...Af5 y 4...exf6, pero ambas en su forma más moderna y dinámica. En la última, Hansen es una autoridad mundial, con una gran experiencia para demostrar los errores que cometen las blancas cuando se enfrentan a esta truquera línea. Al estudiar este material, el lector estará en la primera línea de estos sistemas que evolucionan rápidamente. Por ejemplo, las mejoras críticas sobre la partida Duda-Carlsen del 2020 estaban en los archivos de Hansen dos años antes. Los otros sistemas recomendados para las negras son también agresivos y actuales. 3...c5 contra el avance, en el que Hansen es un especialista. El ataque Panov es contestado con líneas con ...g6 -ideales estratégicamente y corroboradas por los engines modernos. Contra los dos caballos tenemos la opción de ...exf6, o la de ...Ag4. El repertorio se completa con importantes recomendaciones contra cada casi movimiento concebible que las blancas puedan lanzar a nuestra Caro-Kann. Este extremadamente actualizado libro contiene una estructura innovadora, con lecciones, partidas modelo y lupas teóricas. 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. Two 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. The 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.
