«Jugando 1.e4 - Caro-Kann, 1...e5 y variantes secundarias», de John Shaw (tapa blanda)

Playing 1.e4 - Caro-Kann, 1...e5 and Minor Lines by John Shaw is an English-language chess opening book in paperback for players building an ambitious repertoire after 1.e4. It concentrates on active main lines and practical ideas that help White create problems from the very start.

What this book covers

This is one of two repertoire volumes by GM John Shaw. It focuses on Black’s replies such as Caro-Kann, 1...e5 and a range of lesser-played defences. The book is aimed at players who want a consistent, modern approach to 1.e4 based on serious analysis rather than quick simplifications.

Shaw combines extensive research with a practical tournament mindset. The repertoire is built around main lines, but it also includes original suggestions that are especially useful if you want to go beyond standard theory and prepare more deeply than your opponent.
