Caro-Kann According to Dreev – Part 3

GM Alexey Dreev and GM Pier Luigi Basso

We are thrilled to announce the release of the final installment of the Caro-Kann According to Dreev series, authored by GM Alexey Dreev and GM Pier Luigi Basso. This course delves into the Classical Variation, providing a dual repertoire for Black against 1.e4 c6 2.d4 d5 3.Nc3 dxe4 4.Nxe4.

This course completes the Caro-Kann According to Dreev trilogy. If you haven’t explored the earlier parts, make sure to check them out:

• Part 1: Advance Variation (3.e5)

What makes this course unique is its comprehensive approach—offering two complete repertoires against the Classical Variation:
