The Caro Kann Defense - a solid Opening for Black (2)

Heinrich_24
| 5

Today I want to show how to go on in the Capablanca system or also called Classical Variation. So hear is our starting point:

 

Of course you should be prepared for the main variation, because it will happen most of the times. White goes for space advantage in center and on king side, but Black gets rid of his "bad bishop" :



 

But before having now a closer look at the main variation, let us look at other possibilities of White in the 5th move:

A) 5. Ld3

B) 5. Nc5

C) 5. Qf3

Continuation will follow
