Opening Overview: Caro-Kann Defense: Hillbilly Attack

The Caro-Kann Defense: Hillbilly Attack (B10) is a distinct Caro-Kann Defense variation, defined by the move Bc4. Historically played by Anatoly Karpov, this system highlights solid pawn structures and endgame resilience.

Strategic Context: Instead of the standard c4, the player opts for Bc4. It succeeds by maintaining a similar objective evaluation while altering the flavor of the game. This move directly controls the vulnerable f7 square. Plans should focus on how to prioritize piece activity and king safety as lines open quickly and control the key diagonals to exert long-term pressure..

Next Steps: From here, play typically proceeds with d5, leading into the Hillbilly Attack.

Data Analysis: Statistical models suggest equality (Eval: +0.34), with a high probability of a draw.
