Playing the Caro-Kann - Closed (Breyer) variation

The Caro-Kann – Closed (Breyer) Variation arises after 1.e4 c6 2.d3. ECO code: B10.


Named after Gyula Breyer. White plays a King's Indian Attack setup with d3, Nd2, Ngf3, g3, Bg2, and 0-0. This is a solid but passive approach that avoids main-line Caro-Kann theory. Black develops naturally with ...d5, ...Nf6, and ...e5 or ...g6, obtaining a comfortable position.
