Lifetime Repertoires Caro-Kann by GM Erwin L’Ami

Rock-solid. Always in fashion. Uncompromising.

Olympiad veteran and elite Dutch GM Erwin L’Ami shows you how to bulletproof your position and maximize your winning chances with the Caro-Kann.

When world-class players and championship contenders need cutting-edge opening preparation, they turn to GM Erwin L’Ami for help.

Veselin Topalov sought his expertise when preparing for the world championship match versus Anand. And for the past few years, top-10 player Anish Giri has worked closely with L’Ami to get that competitive advantage out of the opening he’s so well-known for.

But GM L’Ami has also published many opening DVDs and guides that help club players…like YOU…break through barriers to reach the next level in their chess development.

Today, he is giving you access to his championship-level prep. So you, too, can get a rock-solid repertoire against 1.e4 and fight for the full point with confidence.

I want to learn the Caro-Kann. I mean 1. e4 e5 is an excellent blocking weapon. You can play the Petroff, the Marshall or you can play the Berlin. But every once in awhile, you want to spice it up a little. And, if you’re like me and you play the Bundesliga or the Thailand Open. Nowadays, people are so booked up in the Sicilian. So, the Caro-Kann is a much better shot at playing for a win with Black.” – GM Jan Gustafsson

The Caro’s solid, methodical play…now infused with GM L’Ami’s fresh and dynamic ideas

In the Caro-Kann, Black uncompromisingly claims the center with …c7-c6 and …d7-d5. The troops are then deployed behind the pawns. Black’s build-up is steady and methodical. Daring White to come charging…only to strike back at the right time.

The opening’s sound structure and principled play made it attractive to world champions then and now. From Mikhail Botvinnik, Anatoly Karpov, Vishwanathan Anand, Veselin Topalov, to modern-day legends Ding Liren and Magnus Carlsen.
