The English: Caro-Kann Defence, 3.b3 (A12) is a distinct English Opening variation, defined by the move Bb2. Historically played by Anatoly Karpov, this system highlights solid pawn structures and endgame resilience.
Strategic Context: This line follows the critical path of the English Opening. This move activates the Bishop. Plans should focus on how to control the key diagonals to exert long-term pressure and develop rapidly.
Next Steps: From here, play typically proceeds with Bg4 or Bf5, leading into the English.
Data Analysis: Statistical models suggest White advantage (Eval: +0.83), with a high probability of a draw.
