Ihren Namen erhielt die Caro-Kann-Verteidigung nach dem in Berlin lebenden englischen Schachmeister Horatio Caro (1862–1920) und dem Wiener Marcus Kann (1820–1886). Allerdings war 1...c6 bis in die 1920er Jahre nicht besonders populär, dann aber griffen Jose Raul Capablanca und Aaron Nimzowitsch die Eröffnung auf. Als Botvinnik 1960/61 in seinen WM-Kämpfen eine zuverlässige Verteidigung gegen den für seine Opferangriffe gefürchteten Mihail Tal suchte, fiel seine Wahl auf Caro- Kann. Tigran Petrosian und Anatoly Karpov waren zwei weitere Weltmeister, die 1...c6 in ihr Repertoire aufnahmen. Caro-Kann gehört mit Französisch (1.e4 e6 2.d4 d5) und Skandinavisch (1.e4 d5) zu der Gruppe von Eröffnungen, in denen Schwarz mit seinem d-Bauern frühzeitig den weißen e-Bauern attackiert. Dabei soll der Nachteil von Skandinavisch – exponierte Stellung der Dame auf d5 – und der Nachteil von Französisch – Einsperrung des Lc8 durch e7-e6 – vermieden werden. Verteidigt Weiß nach 2.d4 d5 den e-Bauern mit 3.Sc3 oder 3.Sd2, entsteht nach dem Abtausch 3...dxe4 4.Sxe4 die Ausgangsstellung für drei Hauptsysteme.
