Round 4 recap of the Rochester Championship. I played against the Daniel Garrett, an adult improver pushing for the National Master title. We played a Caro-Kann Gurgenidze System out of a Caro-Kann Advance. The game includes an interesting bishop and knight vs rook endgame. The bishop and knight have a lot of control over the board and can dominate a rook if the rook side is not careful. We have a ChessGoals Caro-Kann Course that recommends 3...c5 against the Advance Variation. Check out the full video recap or follow the PGN below.
