The Caro-Kann Defence arises after the moves 1 e4 c6. With this
first move Black (as is also the case with the French Defence - 1
e4 e6) plans 2 ... d5, establishing a well-protected central pawn.
The Caro-Kann has a reputation as a rock solid defence that
minimises the risk of Black being subjected to undue early
pressure. Rather than inviting the opponent to engage in immediate
warfare, Black focuses on completing development comfortably and
postponng the serious battle until the middlegame. It is notable
that the White systems which try to batter the Caro-Kann into early
submission are highly double-edged and often rebound badly. -----
First Steps is a new opening series and is ideal for improving
players who want simple and straightforward explanations. First
Steps emphasizes: ----- * the basic principles --- * the basic
strategies --- * the key tricks and traps ----- First Steps books
are based around carefully selected instructive games which
demonstrate exactly what both sides are trying to achieve. There is
enough theory to enable the improving player to get to grips with
the opening without feeling overwhelmed. If you want to take up a
new opening, First Steps is the ideal place to start.
