The Caro-Kann Exchange Variation with 4.Nf3

The Dutch IM Nico Zwirs is an expert on the Black side of the Carlsbad structure, so he thought “Why shouldn’t I try this with White against the Caro-Kann?”. And off he went!

Free sample video: Introduction

Free sample video: 5...Qc7/g6

For this course he chose the side line 4.Nf3 instead of the main move 4.Bd3. The line is very systematic, often exchanging the dark squared bishop – the dream scenario for any black Carlsbad player. Whether you are already an expert in the Carlsbad structure or struggling to find an easy and solid approach against the Caro-Kann? In both cases this is the 60 Minutes course you need!

Caro Kann

The Caro-Kann Defence is named after the English chess master Horatio Caro (1862–1920) who lived in Berlin and the Austrian player Marcus Kann (1820–1886). However, the move 1...c6 was not particularly popular until the 1920s, when both Jose Raul Capablanca and Aaron Nimzowitsch took up the opening. When, in 1960/61, Botvinnik was looking for a reliable defence for his WCh matches against the feared sacrificial attacks of Mihail Tal, he chose the Caro-Kann. Tigran Petrosian and Anatoly Karpov were two other world champions who adopted 1...c6 in their repertoires.
