A White repertoire against the Caro-Kann built on the Advance Variation, 1.e4 c6 2.d4 d5 3.e5, by grandmaster Alexey Dreev. Published by Chess Stars in 2015.
Thirteen chapters in three parts, organized by Black’s third move and White’s chosen setup. Part 1 takes 3…c5 4.dxc5, both 4…e6 5.a3 and 4…Nc6 5.Nf3. Part 2 covers the main 3…Bf5, with White’s 4.c4, 4.h4 and 4.Nbd2 tries alongside the principal 4.Nf3 lines. Part 3 gives the largest share of the book to 3…Bf5 4.Nf3 e6 5.Be2 c5 6.Be3, split by 6…Ne7, 6…Qb6, 6…Nd7 and 6…cxd4. A section of complete games follows the theory.
Best for: tournament players meeting the Caro-Kann as White. Advanced.
