| refutor: here are a couple of games
Kupreichik vs J M Bellon Lopez, 1977
A Zaitsev vs Gurgenidze, 1968
Tal vs Gurgenidze, 1968
4.Bd3! seems strong and i think white can get a good game just trying to bolster the center |

| coloredpencilset: After 3...b5 I think white can cause troubles with 4.exd5 and black cannot immediatley recapture. If black continues with 4...b4 white can simply move the knight to e4, which eyes the nice post c5. I think that white is fine and will prove black to already be overextended. |

| chessgames.com: You'll find Karpov games here Caro-Kann, Steinitz Variation (B17) and Petrosian here Caro-Kann, Classical (B18) |

| fred lennox: "...in present-day tournament practice...the good old Caro-Kann is treated in a way that is nothing short of revolutionary." Kasparov Tarkatower used the Caro-Kann as a main weapon possibly showed some of it's dynamic potentails. Bronstein did and Larson and Korchnoi more so. It was Miles and Speelman however where the counterattacking potential of the Caro-Kann comes to real view. It was thier example and influence that inspired the above quote. |

| nasmichael: It is nice to hear that the Caro-Kann is being used in this way. I recently played a game (just now getting back to reviewing my losses ^_^) that began as this one, then wandered off into new (for me) territory. The counterattacking potential is being used very well by my opponent, who controls black here. I must review Speelman's and Miles' games with this theme. |

| refutor: here's one from the "horrifying novelties that look terrible but aren't immediately losing so i'm gonna try it 100 times in blitz" department 1.e4 c6 2.d4 d5 3.Nc3 dxe4 4.Nxe5 f5?!

| Akavall: <refutor> 5. Ng5 looks quite strong with the the threats of Bc4 and Qh5(no h6 for black). The strength of those is that there is a huge temptation to 'prove' it wrong, and can lead white to some over aggressive decisions. |

| Eric Schiller: Kaprov was a great player of the positional Caro-Kann, Petrosian liked some funky lines, but I recommend the games of Eric Lobron for an aggressive approach that has greatly influenced my own play. You can find many aggressive Caro-Kann games on my page, for example A Williams vs E Schiller, 1979
A Kosten vs E Schiller, 1981
J Kristiansen vs E Schiller, 1986
R Kichinsky vs E Schiller, 1994
Win, lose, or draw, the games can be very exciting. The Caro-Kann need not be a boring opening at all! |

| PositionalBomber: Is Von Henning Gambit (3... d:e4 4. Bc4) dangerous for black at all? In this game Short vs Bareev, 2000 black has a nice game. |

| get Reti: I'm starting to like the following variation: 1. e4 c6 2. d4 d5 3. Nc3 g6! This has been played 265 times in the database. Refusing to give up the center while also providing an effective development for the bishop, preparing e5 after Nd7 amd Bg7. Often black's king's knight is developed to h6 and then e5, letting the bishop keep it's open diagonal, while the g6 pawn protects the knight. Is it any good? |

| ganstaman: <get Reti> From what I've heard somewhere, 3. Nd2 is played sometimes in order to discourage 3...g6 (because 1. e4 c6 2. d4 d5 3. Nd2 g6 4. c3 and now ...Bg7 is blunted and less effective). And since 3. Nc3 prevents an immediate c3 pawn push, I must imagine that 3...g6 is decent following 3.Nc3. Also, I believe this system has a name starting with the letter 'g' ..... little research.... Bukhuti Gurgenidze |

| Bob726: What do you think about e4 c6 d4 b5?! An opponent played this against me and he got crushed so i don't think its that good |
