If you like to play endgames...
I said "Capablanca style" due to this game:
Thanks for the recommendation! I’m not good at endgames so this might be a good idea to make me play more
I'm bad at endgames, but at the moment it is a matter of learning only this one ![]()
d4 pawn is a weakness, his DSB is a bad one, and there is only a open file, so 4 rooks will be out soon.
And after h4-h5 (Tal variation), f5 is a very good square for a knight, attacking the d4 pawn, because there is no g2-g4 ![]()
The Caro Kann is one of the best defenses because endgames are good ![]()

Yes black has no real problems in the endgame, and I’d like to make the argument that black is playing for the win, no? The caro is super solid yet offers exciting play at the same time. There’s a reason it’s one of my favorite openings to play!
Hello everyone I’ve been thinking about switching back to the Bf5 mainline in the advance caro-kann. I’ve been playing 3.c5 for a while now but, I have trouble in the dxc5 line where white desperately holds onto the pawn. My only problem with switching back is the Tal variation. Is there any way for black to get a good position out of the opening without many problems? I’m not to worried about 1.e4 c6 2.d4 d5 3.e5 Bf5 4.h4 h5 5.c4 but, 5.Bd3 (which I play as white) and 5.Bg5 look to give black a bit of a headache. I know they’re still very much “playable” as black but, not very fun to deal with. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated
