Which is better? Caro-Kann or Sicillian?



Caro-kann or Sicilian? They've both got 8 letters, each of them 'can' and both end in n. So about the same.
caro kann is very passive and defensive, if you are one of those players who just sits and defends and waits for opponent to blunder while trying to dislodge your defense, go for the boring caro kann, sicilian is very double edged, you will get a very interesting positions but chances to lose a very high, e5 is just boring theory even more so than caro kann, alternatively you can actually play modern defense and indian game after e4 as well, pirc is pretty good as well but is somewhat weak

i can counter caro kahn and french defence , i also know how to counter sicilian but no one ever follows this counter tactic. So i don't like sicilian even if sometimes i counter it

#11: whether game is sharp or not depends mainly on white. If white plays exchange caro then yes, black can hardly force sharp play without too much risk. But in case of 1.e4 c6 2.d4 d5 3.e5 Bf5 4.g4 I really don’t think that caro is boring anymore. On the other hand, if you play sicilian and white plays Bb5, you will not have so much fun with black.
