In a total of three volumes, Caruana examines all Black replies after 1.e4 e5 2.♘f3 ♞c6 3.♗b5. The world’s number two not only shows very concrete lines, but also outlines general approaches depending on the demands of each variation.

Which transitions to the endgame against the Open Variation are particularly unpleasant for Black? What are the guiding threads to follow against the Berlin Defence?
