    In this video of the Caro-Kann Defense series, IM Alex Astaneh is going to be covering the Classical Variation in the Caro-Kann Defense. After the initial moves 1.e4 c6 2.d4 d5, white can either continue with the move 3.Nc3 or with 3.Nd2. After that, black will recapture on e4 with 3…dxe4. White takes on e4 with 4.Nxe4 and black has several options to continue:
    0:40 4…Nd7, Karpov Variation
    0:46 4…Nf6, Tartakower Variation / Bronstein Variation
    1:15 4…Bf5, Classical Variation (Mainline)
    The main focus of this video is on black's response with 4...Bf5, the Classical Variation.
    📘 The pgn to this video can be downloaded on our website!

    It is amazing how close the classical variation of caro-cann is to the scandinavian defence setup. I play them both against e4, but scandi leads to these type of lines more often, because white rarely plays this way against the caro, but very often they take very classical aproach against the scandi. The advance-theory seems to be more popular with caro-kann.

    I'm usually hesitant to play the classical line of Caro Kann because of h4 thrust, I usually play h5 but it creates too many weakness and threats, I'm going to try playing h6 from now on

  • @MarekShadoX
    @MarekShadoX Před 3 lety

    Hey there, great video once again, i just have a question about blacks light squere bishop. So we know why it is good and even better to develop it and exchange it if white will challange it, but what about fianchetto? Also in French def. is it bad idea to fianchetto this bishop if we know that it can be really passive sometimes?
    Thanks

    • @attique9992
      @attique9992 Před 4 lety

      As there are still many concepts not clear in h4-h5 and Ne5 with h5 as that are the most drastic ones, further in this same variation white plays his bishop to c4 too instead of d3 also.
      And please cover the attack like h4-h5 and then g4-g5 in more detail, kindly.

    • @Chessfactor
      @Chessfactor  Před 4 lety

      For a while, we are using a wooden chess board which has a better contrast. Check out the series about Opening Gambits or the French Defense. We have already pre-recorded several videos with the green-white board and therefore some more videos with this board will be published. However, for future recordings we will stick to the wooden board. Stay tuned!
