1. e4 |
Find here is a game that illustrates a Caro-Kann Defense: Advance Variation (B12). nota: This opening has been more and more played since 1990. | ||||
| | |||||
|
1... c6 |
Caro-kann advance variation's stats: White wins 40.0% Black wins 27.3% Draws 32.6% | ||||
| | |||||
|
2. d4 |
c6 doesn't mean you abandon the center. You are even not late. It is like a call on whites cards and intentions. | ||||
| | |||||
|
2... d5 |
There are some N variations of the Caro-Kann my knowledge of them are limited. Also Tarrash responded (1889) e5 on d4 played by Amos Burn. | ||||
| | |||||
|
3. e5 |
Caro-Kann Defense advance variation position Blacks have options (Bf5/C5/F6!/etc.) even if there is an advanced e5. This position gives me focus on e5 and d4. Once d5 is down whites are mostly done as I know that many players can not resist to play e5. | ||||
| | |||||
|
3... c5 |
The first step to get ride of e5 is to attack strongly d4. The game between V. Promyshlyanskiy vs Daniel Fridman during the LGA Premium Cup (09/08/2006) illustrates it. | ||||
| | |||||
|
4. c3 cxd4 5. cxd4 Nc6 6. a3 |
a3 is so soon... Oh well I guess I won't play Bb4 . I played a useless Bc5 instead. | ||||
| | |||||
|
6... Bf5 7. f3 e6 8. h4 Qb6 |
I still don't know whites intention, | ||||
| | |||||
|
9. Ne2 |
the first mistake is not to target Bf5 ... | ||||
| | |||||
|
9... Bxb1 |
I must admit that I didn't see the coming combination firstly... | ||||
| | |||||
|
10. Rxb1 Bxa3 |
1 pawn down. whites would not let the quality and a messed Queen's side | ||||
| | |||||
|
11. b3 Bb4+ |
Bb4 file is a very strong position up in the opponent's camp. | ||||
| | |||||
|
12. Kf2 |
The King is moving on f3 in order to let the Q and the N to protect d4. | ||||
| | |||||
|
12... Nge7 |
N e7 is a silly move as I had an other free pawn ... and not the least important ... e4 ( Nxe4) | ||||
| | |||||
|
13. Be3 |
Nxe4 is no more reasonably playable. | ||||
| | |||||
|
13... Nf5 |
I didn't notice the strengh of this move and I had no idea how to attack here. | ||||
| | |||||
|
14. g4 Nxe3 15. Kxe3 |
only now I understand what I said earlier... shooter56 brings his King to e3. Not the best place to be for a King... and now I won't miss Nxe4... | ||||
| | |||||
|
15... Nxe5 16. Bh3 |
shooter56 shows me that if I castle (0-0) he could have a strong attack on the K's side. | ||||
| | |||||
|
16... Nc6 17. f4 |
as often I have no idea of what to do against this strange position | ||||
| | |||||
|
17... O-O-O |
0-0-0 could not hurt right now. | ||||
