    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.
