Playing Black against Vassilios Kotronias is every Caro-Kann player's worst nightmare. In this book Kotronias, the first Greek grandmaster, explains the workings of his preferred system against the Caro-Kann. His solution is the advance variation which has been a favourite of players such as Tal, Van der Wiel, Timman, Nunn, Anand and Short as well as Kotronias.
