Vidit Gujrathi: The Fashionable Caro-Kann 1+2
Main Lines and Side Lines
The Caro Kann is a very tricky opening. Black’s play is based on controlling and fighting for key light squares. It is a line which was very fashionable in late 1990s and early 2000s due to the successes of greats like Karpov, Anand, Dreev, etc. Recently, due to strong engines, a lot of key developments have been made and some new lines have been introduced, while others have been refuted altogether.
I have analyzed the new trends carefully and found some new ideas for Black. The dynamic play based on a strong strategic foundation has always fascinated me, and in these DVDs I have suggested the lines which I personally prefer and employ in practice. Recently at the World Rapid and Blitz Championships at Qatar I used many of them with great success, managing to score important wins over top GMs Vachier Lagrave, Radjabov, Jobava and drawing against Vishy Anand. I am sure you will learn a lot about the opening and will enjoy the battle for the light squares.

Got the money in my hand for both one & two together here and I SO want to buy the obviously wonderful information on these really detailed Chessbase DVDs. However, upon listening to the advertised lay-out by this highly rated and clearly gifted Indian grandmaster, the FAR TOO HUGE numbers of 'erms and errs' are going to be SOME problem for MY tolerance. 'Disturbing and annoying' adjectives come to mind, leading me to think twice about my purchases....still thinking...still thinking...sorry!
sería interesante si tuvieran subtítulos en español, para poder comprarlos.
