A dangerous weapon against the Caro-Kann in 60 Minutes, Andrew Martin (English)
On this 60 minutes video, we are going to examine an unusual and dangerous weapon against the solid Caro-Kann. It's not a new idea, but in the modern era is fast becoming popular. We refer to the line that begins 1 e4 c6 2 Nf3 d5 3 exd5 cxd5 4 Ne5!? There are various ideas associated with this move; tricks on c6 and f7, the reinforcement of the knight with f2-f4 leading to White kingside pressure, the annexation of the two bishops and so on. Ths is not a difficutt line to learn and master and will give you the opportunity to put those awkward Caro-Kann players under pressure. As we will, many of the top players in the world are now starting to use this variation, with success. More
