Caro-Kann Advance Variation: How to Stop Being Afraid of Playing f6

Round 3 of the February Swiss 60+30 over-the-board event featured a Caro-Kann Advance variation. I consistently missed the main idea of playing f6 in that pawn structure. Something to learn from! I was afraid of the kingside attack, and hopefully, watching this video helps you remember not to make the same mistakes I did.

There's a video highlight and PGN below. Don't play a passive Caro-Kann. Instead, go for the initiative! Check out the ChessGoals free Caro-Kann Quick Start course.
