About This Course
The Caro-Kann Defense (1.e4 c6) is one of Black's most solid responses to 1.e4. Unlike the French, Black avoids locking in the light-squared bishop. The Caro-Kann leads to positions where Black has a solid structure and good piece placement. It's a favorite of players like Anatoly Karpov and has a reputation for being reliable at all levels.
