The Caro-Kann series is complete!

Thanks for your great work: I play the Caro since decades and think I have all major publications about it.

Regarding your book list: A few are missing. Four are in the links: Of course there are many older books which may not be worth to add to the list anymore.

Adding DVDs or online courses is nowadays important, but may lead to far: There is simply too much out there. But let me mention two very (very!) good courses from Chessbase: The second one unfortunatelly only in german

An unreal amount of work! I am impressed with your dedication and execution. Great work! I personally play the Caro Kann and use the "Practical black repertoire" book mentioned in the comments

I just like to thank you for your work on the Caro-Kann opening, It was my main opening as black when I learned how to play chess many decades ago, but you have help me understand the opening as I never did before. I am wondering why you didn't include a the von Henning Gambit?

I bought this for black and looking forward to using it! However, having real issues with loading the PGN file into Lichess. Is there a trick for this? Every time I try to load into Lichess but the files are greyed out... is there something I am missing? IMG_0019.png

Hi Stjepan @hpy ,

Very very good work and we all thanks for that!
I just want to mention, that the very feared von Hennig Gambit / https://www.chess.com/openings/Caro-Kann-Defense-von-Hennig-Gambit / is missing from the list if I see correctly...cannot be complete without it :)
It is a very dangerous weapon, especially if only few people cover it in Caro courses. So black can go into trouble very easily if not prepared.
Would be nice to see a video about that too.

Thanks for your work!
