Answers.Body: <p>I'm rated about 2000 USCF and have been a Caro Kann player for 10ish years.  I really loved both Peter Wells 'Grandmaster Secrets: The Caro Kann' and Joe Gallagher's 'Starting Out: The Caro Kann'.  Both provide really superior explanation along with the moves.  I don't think that you want to dive into Schandorff as a first time Caro Kann player.</p>

Answers.Body: <p>Jovanka Houska's new book "Opening Repertoire: the Caro-Kann" is also very good, but like Schandorff's book, Houska's book is mainly aimed at a fairly high level (2000+ elo).</p>
  
  <p>For an introduction to the Caro-Kann, it's hard to beat Lakdawala book recommended above, "The Caro-Kann Move by Move."  It's got enough theory to get up and running, and it's in a complete game format which is a very good way to start learning an opening.</p>

Answers.Body: <p>If you are looking for a high-level book, then the "Grandmaster Repertoire" series can be recommended. There is one about the Caro-Kann, written by GM <a href="http://rads.stackoverflow.com/amzn/click/1906552568" rel="nofollow">Schandorff</a> in 2010.</p>
  
  <p>It should added that, for the same series, in 2014 GM <a href="http://rads.stackoverflow.com/amzn/click/1906552061" rel="nofollow">Negi</a> wrote a book on a 1.e4 repertoire for white, covering the Caro-Kann.</p>

Answers.Body: <p><a href="http://rads.stackoverflow.com/amzn/click/1857446879" rel="noreferrer"><em>The Caro-Kann: Move by Move</em></a> is a good resource for the Caro-Kann. The repertoire covered has winning chances but is very solid. (Just make sure your rating is at least 1500; below that, learning opening is not ideal.)</p>

Body: <p>I just started playing the Caro-Kann recently and have seen a variety of moves on white's third move.  Are there any good "all-in-one" resources to examine the different variations?  I consider the opening to be the weakest part of my game and want to strengthen is as much as I can.</p>
