The Smyslov Variation of the Caro-Kann is one of the most solid and dependable openings for Black.

Grandmaster Eduard Gufeld is one of the most colourful characters in international chess. His entertaining style of play and lively annotations have gained him many fans around the world. His previous books for Cadogan include 'The Modern French Tarrasch' and 'An Opening Repertoire for the Attacking Player.'

Well Deserved Merit,
By Jeremy "Metal bigot" (United States) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Caro-Kann: Smyslov System 4...Nd7 (Paperback)
This book is wonderful for anyone who wants to know one of the most solid defenses agains e4 there is. Guides you through multiple examples and analogies. But on the other hand, I was really disappointed in the amount of games that were "won" by White. When i learn a defense I don't want to go over examples of losing moves and how so and so lost using this defense. But over all a great book and a solid system in that.

This review is from: Caro-Kann: Smyslov System 4...Nd7 (Paperback)
Nothing here but a database dump of some high level recent games. Overpriced at that. From the Gufeld "book a week" club ...
