"Battling the French & Caro Kann"
I am pleased to present, dear reader, my new work. This book is my first work on an opening repertoire for White. I used to write books advocating Black: I considered such openings as the Grünfeld Defense, the Modern Benoni Defense, the
Volga Gambit. This book is the first part of my opening repertoire for White. In the future, I plan to release parts 2 and 3, where the rest of the openings will be covered. In this work, my main focus is the French Defense and the Caro-Kann Defense. They are fairly similar openings, since the main concept is to hit the center with …d7-d5. The writing of this book was spontaneous. I didn't initially have a direct goal of writing a book, and at first, I just analyzed for myself using ideas on the Internet, but the analysis grew... and it grew more and more. The structuring of the options somehow happened in my head and I decided to write a book.
