Bologan’s Caro-Kann

?
How difficult it is to read the book without using a board. A book with 10/10 readability is a bedtime story, a book with 1/10 is a puzzle book full of variations. Readability doesn’t represent the quality of the book.

Usefulness is a measure of how useful the book is for chess improvement within the topic it covers. Books with a high usefulness score should help you improve quicker than those with a low score.
Full review coming soon.

Bologan’s recommended repertoire is very solid in places. Against the Fantasy, for example, he recommends what used to be my favorite setup, 3…e6. let’s have a great game in which Peter Heine Nielsen played e6 against Jonny Hector’s Fantasy in 2009. This was the position on move 10 for black. A typical example of how an open center position looks like in the e6 Fantasy. Black’s turn. How would you evaluate the position?
