I love it as white or black, dont care, its awesome. No messin with crazy Sicilians or
cramped Frenchies, 1...c6 only move. Heck i love it so much i might even start to play
play 1.c3 as white.
My son (who's a lot stronger than me) has spent his life dissing the CK but over the last year he's taken it up.
It suits a certain type of player and it's great if you happen to be a slav player but it can transpose into so many different openings you have to look out for transpositions

yeah i was think that the slav is like real similar because of the pawn formation, i am
not a very strong blitz player but my rating has climbed almost three hundred points
since i took it up, before i was getting wasted trying to play the Sicilian and the French.
I used to play it a lot but binned it for two reasons. 1. I think the classical variation is lost in CC with best play. 2. a bit passive. Ironically I switched to the scando (which is just a poor mans Caro-Kann in a way.) Caro is quite a sharp opening with lots of transpo - I always found the Goldman line a bit tricky to play against suprised its not used more: 1.e4 c6 2.Nc3 d5 3.Qf3
I'm now binning the scando as its just... well, I think I have to take it on the chin that one needs to learn the sicilian at some point - dragondorf here I come.

dude you know it makes sense, scando smando! I got beaten up by that variation
tonight, rather quickly, i went chasing after the queen and got into a lot of trouble, my
opponent wouldn't give me a rematch 🙂
Originally posted by tomtom232 I love the Panov-Botvinik Attack... its just so open that its even better than the King's Gambit.
Panov smanov, isolated bumper bonanza fund! although saying that i was following an
Anand game where he got beaten up by some trickster with the Panov.

ah such an optimist, black is not without resources. there is a brilliant game,
Dzindzichashvili v Karpov, real end to end stuff, where Karpov still manages to get
his bishop onto the b1-h7 diagonal via g4 to challenge the white bishop on d3.
I love the Caro Kaan
