This Grandmaster Repertoire 7: The Caro-Kann by Lars Schandorff is an English-language paperback opening book for players building a Black repertoire against 1.e4 around the Caro-Kann Defence.
Rather than treating the Caro-Kann as only a way to hold the position, Schandorff presents it as a practical repertoire with real winning ambitions. The book explains the main lines in detail and also helps you understand the typical middlegame and endgame positions that arise from them.
This makes it a strong choice for players looking for a solid, modern and tournament-minded opening system. The text is theoretical, but it does not stop at variations: the commentary is there to clarify the ideas behind both sides’ play.
