Caro-Kann for White – Top-Level Repertoire + PGN June 29, 2025

After revolutionizing the Caro-Kann from Black’s perspective in two highly acclaimed repertoires, GM Alexey Dreev and GM Baadur Jobava return—this time, to dismantle their own system.

Together with GM Pier Luigi Basso, these elite Caro-Kann experts present a complete White repertoire based on the most principled approach—the Advance Variation with 3.e5.

This is not just another repertoire against the Caro-Kann. It’s a masterclass in insider knowledge. Dreev and Jobava share the exact lines they fear the most when playing the Caro-Kann with Black. You’ll learn how to challenge the system at its very core—creating practical problems, avoiding simplifications, and maximizing winning chances.
