    The author has set himself a difficult goal: to create a kind of middlegame manual based on the material of the international grandmaster tournament. Grandmaster Bronstein is famous for his depth of play and his original understanding of the laws of chess. This is manifested in the grandmaster's games that have made the rounds of the world press and fully applies to his comments. Numerous positive and sometimes laudatory reviews of D. Bronstein’s first literary work, the benefits brought by the book according to reader reviews, indicated that the author had successfully completed the task set for himself. The second edition is slightly shortened compared to the first by excluding outdated material. The introductory article has been supplemented, and the errors noted in the first edition have been corrected.

    Гроссмейстер Алексей Дреев – один из крупнейших в мире специалистов по защите Каро-Канн со стороны черных. По его мнению, в последнее время именно Закрытый вариант 1.e4 c6 2.d4 d5 3.e5 доставляет черным наибольшие проблемы. И в этой книге Дреев детально анализирует эту принципиальную схему со стороны белых, показывает, какие трудности ожидают здесь черных, опираясь на современную турнирную практику и, в том числе, на собственные партии. Закрытый вариант защиты Каро-Канн (1.e4 с6 2.d4 d5 3.e5) впервые привлек к себе внимание, пожалуй, во время матча Михаила Таля с Михаилом Ботвинником за звание чемпиона мира по шахматам в 1961 г. Белые, хотя и тратят темп на ход 3.e5, но при этом запирают центр, обеспечивая себе длительный пространственный перевес и мешая черным удобно развивать свой королевский фланг. Рассматриваемая в этой книге пешечная структура напоминает закрытый вариант Французской защиты (1.e4 e6 2.d4 d5 3.e5), но с той разницей, что в нашем случае черные могут не оставаться с плохим французским слоном, а развить его на f5. Часто черные применяют немедленный подрыв центра белых путем 3...с5, однако, основным продолжением за них следует признать все же 3...Сf5. Дальнейшая игра так или иначе сводится к пространственному фактору, и хотя у черных нет слабостей, все же им тесновато. Поэтому в большинстве случаев оценка зависит от последствий подрыва c6-c5, освобождающего пространство для черных фигур. Но есть и другие схемы, в которых черные пытаются закончить развитие без этого подрыва. Частым и важным способом развития инициативы белых на королевском фланге является надвижение пешек “от короля”, начинающееся, как правило, темповым ходом g2-g4. Закрытый вариант защиты Каро-Канн является хорошей альтернативой классическим вариантам 1.e4 с6 2.d4 d5 3.Кd2 (или 3.Кc3) dxe4 4.Кxe4 Сf5 (4...Кd7). Несмотря на то, что и после 3.e5 теория шагнула далеко вперед, все же позиции Закрытого варианта пока еще значительно менее изучены, нежели в классических линиях, где теория во многих вариантах убивает интригу противоборства.Я, конечно, не хочу сказать, что 3.e5 лучше, чем Классика. Но мой многолетний опыт разыгрывания защиты Каро-Канн черными подсказывает, что проблемы им в этом варианте разрешить непросто. Надеюсь, это дебютное пособие будет интересно и применяющим защиту Каро-Канн черными, так как позволит им понять над какими проблемами еще стоит потрудиться.
