The Caro-Kann Defense (B15) is a distinct Caro-Kann Defense variation, defined by the move Nc3. Historically played by Anatoly Karpov, this system highlights solid pawn structures and endgame resilience.
Strategic Context: Departing from the popular Caro-Kann Defense (e5), this line chooses Nc3. It succeeds by maintaining a similar objective evaluation while altering the flavor of the game. This move directly controls e4 and d5. Plans should focus on how to prioritize maneuvering and flank attacks and control the key diagonals to exert long-term pressure..
Next Steps: From here, play typically proceeds with Nf6 or b5, leading into the Caro-Kann Defense.
Data Analysis: Statistical models suggest White advantage (Eval: +0.54), with a high probability of a draw.
