The featured game is Grischuk-Aronian (game 2) in which Grischuk played a fascinating rook sacrifice that should have been good for White, but Aronian showed his resilience and managed to hold off the attack.

The Fashionable Caro-Kann Vol.1 and 2

I have analyzed the new trends carefully and found some new ideas for Black.
