ALL YOU MEMBERS WHO RESPONDED TO THIS, THANK YOU AND I CAN'T DISPUTE WHAT YOUR SAYING AS I DON'T FEEL THAT I HAVE ENOUFGH EXPERIENCE IN THIS GAME TO GIVE YOU A VIAL ARGUMENT.
THANKS TONY antne003
Ok, now I understand -- what's confusing players is the way you word it.
Because it was completely up to black to enter into a Caro it's referred to as Black's defense.
White can't play the Caro Kann defense, he can only play against it.
The way to say it is "Nigle short beat Seirawan's Caro Kann with ______ variation.
Or you could say I like the way Short plays against the Caro eg with _____ variation.
When you say white's Caro Kann it sounds like you're playing a reversed system where the white pieces mirror a black defense and are a tempo up. That's why you see a lot of players explaining the london system, slav etc.
MASTER WAL, THANK YOU FOR FOR APPRECIATED COMMENTS and yes, i have to learn, the opening or defenses the way and color they were meant to be
thanks tony
MASTER WALL, THANKS FOR YOUR COMENTS AND YES, I HAVE TO PLAY THE OPENINGS AND DEFENSES WITH THE COLOR THEY WERE MEANT TO BE
ALL OTHER MEMBERS THAT RESPONDED, THANK YOU, AS YOU CAN SEE I'M TRYING
LEARN FROM OTHERS A ND IT DOESN'T WORK TO FOLLOW STEP BY STEP IN THE MASTERS' GAMES. THEY ARE MUCH SMARTER AND KNOWLEDGEABLE IN CHESS, THAT THEY WILL GET MANY POTENTIAL PROBLEMS TO WORK IN THEIR FAVOR
THANKS TONY antne003
that would be the pegota opening
