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
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.

tonight, rather quickly, i went chasing after the queen and got into a lot of trouble, my
opponent wouldn't give me a rematch 🙂

I love the Panov-Botvinik Attack... its just so open that its even better than the King's Gambit.
Anand game where he got beaten up by some trickster with the Panov.

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.
