This is the Carlsbad structure, which usually arises with colors reversed in the Exchange Variation of the QGD. It has been well studied and there is a wealth of information available about the plans for both sides. "Pawn Structure Chess" by GM Andrew Soltis has a section on it, as does "Chess Structures" by GM Mauricio Flores Rios. If you prefer videos, search YouTube for "GM Talks Carlsbad Structure", and you will find a 3 hour course by Danish GM Sune Berg Hansen that goes into depth on how to play the structure for both sides.
Congratulations on starting to study pawn structures: it's a sure way to improve your chess understanding, and your results.
Hi all,
I have started studying the pawn structures. In particular I am interested into possible Caro-Kann pawn structures. Most of the games I obtain the following one, which I was not able to any explanations online. However I would like to understand whether there are typical plans to follow on this structure.
Thank you in advance to who will help me!
