Why has nobody tried playing 1...f6 and 2... e5 for black if white tries 1.d4 - It could be the new opening to take the world of chess by storm.
I suggest all caro kahners out there give it a go and report your results back to me.

Originally posted by RamnedI think that rubberjaw, who despite his behavior on this site knew a great deal about the Caro-Kann, said it well, that the Caro-Kann considers black's light-squared as a higher priority, while the French considers the immediate c7-c5 push (which the Caro-Kann eventually strives for) as a higher priority, which is equally important as it builds a larger central and queenside front.
In my opinion, black might as well play the French rather than the CK, which is more awkward and less hopeful on winning, but rather more on drawing.

Originally posted by wittywonkaWell yeah, the purpose of the CK is to develope the queenside bishop but I find that's not always guarenteed. Also white usually gets to attack for most the game.
