Summary

An informative guide to understanding and implementing the fundamentals of the Caro-Kann, the easy way. 
The Caro-Kann defence, named after the German chess players Horatio Caro and Marcus Kann, is notorious for its simple solidity and is a popular chess opening that players of all levels benefit from having in their arsenal. It is a firm favourite of grand masters past and present, including Karpov, Petrosian, Capablanca and Anand.
This is the fifth book from International Master Thomas Engqvist, and it avoids overcomplicated details and endless computer variations, focusing instead on key variations of the Caro-Kann that can be committed to memory. Examining classic games to demonstrate key moves in action, Engqvist brings the defence to life and provides you with the knowledge you need to put strategy into practice.

James Wallis explores the evolving world of board games through the lens of the Spiel des Jahres, Germany’s prestigious Game of the Year award, looking at a host of past winners catapulted to worldwide popularity, once lauded games now sadly forgotten, and a few popular hits that somehow  
missed out. Alongside this, Wallis expertly chronicles the increasing sophistication in the design of modern board games and their ever growing variety.

"Discovery of Less is the true story about one mans poignant and humorous journey of stepping out of the comfort zone of everyday life and letting go. Through his insightful and refreshing storytelling, Chris Lovett shares details of how he found enriching outcomes of a simpler approach to life and work after decluttering, selling off everything he owned and walking away from the security of a stable career. Although the material deals with important issues such as clutter, emotional attachment, stress, sentimental attachment, debt, career change, imposter syndrome and the like, there is always room for fun and Chris brings colour, flavour and reality through his storytelling and just adds a little bit of dirt to the clean minimalist aesthetic. This book is your companion to stepping out of the lost year, providing inspiration and motivation to ditch all that stuff that holds us back to be better and do better, with less."
