In choosing the Caro-Kann, Black gives up the centre in exchange for easier development. In contrast to the French, the queen's bishop is not blocked, but the c6-square is no longer available for the knight. Black often aims to let White's pawns overextend, or develop a poor structure, and take advantage in the endgame.
The Caro-Kann. A semi-open game that tends to contain lines with minor piece play. Note that after 3. Bd3?!, 3... dxe4 4. Bxe4 Nf6 gives Black the initiative.
