                  "The Classical Caro-Kann, as the variation with 4...Bf5 is usually known, enjoys a reputation as one of the most rock-solid lines in chess."
                  "The Pirc and Modern Defences are two closely related openings based around the fianchetto of Black's king's bishop."
                  "If your attitude to playing Black in chess is to try and neutralise White's slight advantage by careful defensive play, then the answer is no."

                    "Regarding the opening phase of the game, two pieces of advice an improving player will constantly hear are 'develop your pieces!' and 'control the centre!'"
                    "We'll begin by Iooking at bishop endings (I certainly believe that they are less complex than knight endings) and, in particular, the lone bishop against pawns."
