In anyways how will you develop the knight if there was a pawn in c6? Na6? what I can see is Nbd7

By pushing the c-pawn?

With black you want to keep hammering his d4 pawn and or plan to play the c6 to c5 pawn break at some point. I would keep that in mind instead of trying to memorize specific lines.

You got a point, but I just don’t like to push the pawn two times but it might be good in this position. I usually play Scillian I don’t have experience about caro-kann

Oh, you just learn Caro exchange and advance, Slav, Semi-Slav, Panov fianchetto, and some additional QGD lines like Cambridge Springs and Albin counter gambit traps and mainline.  Then you're sorted, maybe...playhand.png Solid. It's like a system. meh.png Lol.

Chess is anything but easy. I might go out on a limb and say chess is quite hard!

Shogi is harder though… MUCH harder

Shogi? Isn’t that Japanese chess? Or Chinese? I forget.

I’ve seen it played and it looks like I could give it a shot...if the pieces weren’t covered in Japanese(Chinese?). It feels so out of place to play a game where I don’t even speak the language that’s on the game yet.

It is Japanese

It is like crazy house variant in chess, but with other rules. Happily, like lichess, there is a site called lishogi for shogi
