Using illustrative games, D'Costa highlights the typical plans and tactics for both sides, presents repertoire options for White and provides answers to all the key questions.

The Caro-Kann Defence has become one of the most important and popular replies to 1.e4. Its ‘solid’ and ‘drawish’ reputation no longer applies in modern chess. In fact, White could do with some new ideas to fight for an advantage in this chess opening. This book focuses on the annoying and little-explored 3.f3!?, a strange-looking move that was already played with great success by the likes of Maroczy, Smyslov, Ivanchuk and Morozevich.

In this book, the author examines the main plans for both sides, provides a repertoire for Black and answers all the key questions.
