Title: wrong choice of author
Review: A poor choice of author by Everyman. From the word go Gallagher makes it clear that he hates the Caro-Kann. "I don't play the opening with Black and I am a fully paid-up member of a club that doesn't believe in the Caro-Kann strategy." Throughout the book you sense the author is hating himself for having to hack it. He also presents games mostly won by white and tells you that he didn't show too many black wins because games won by black with this defense areboring and drawn-out. He even makes a compelling case for you NOT to use this defense by showing Kasparov losing with it.Need I say more?
