This book provides a rock solid opening repertoire for Black, using
systems based on the move ...c6. The backbone of this repertoire is
the Caro-Kann versus 1 e4 and the Semi-Slav (via a Slav move order)
versus 1 d4. In general these systems aim to neutralise White's
early initiative. They aim for success by the gradual accumulation
of small advantages, rather than by emerging victorious from an
early tactical melee (which is rather problematic with the black
pieces at the best of times). The book is co-authored by Cyrus
Lakdawala and Keaton Kiewra and takes a teacher/student format. The
"student" Keaton Kiewra is a very strong international master with
two grandmaster norms. He normally specialises in razor-sharp
defences such as the Sicilian Dragon and King's Indian. Now he
wants to broaden his style and develop his skills at handling more
sedate positions. His "teacher" is Cyrus Lakdawala, an extremely
experienced player, coach and author, who guides Keaton along the
learning path. *Everything you need to know to defend with Black
systems based on ...c6.*The Q and A approach emphasizes plans and
strategies.*Written by an expert on the Caro-Kann and Semi-Slav
