Game of the Week #379

This week there was a lot of rapid and blitz, but to me most interesting remains classical chess. Arguably, the coolest games were played at the Polish league. The game we'll study tonight, was a sharp theoretical battle between two of the most enterprising grandmasters around: Huschenbeth vs Harikrishna.

The live show is free to watch, and available on-demand for ChessBase Premium accounts.

Warm-up question: What would you play here with Black?

Play the Exchange Variation against the Caro-Kann

The Exchange Variation (1.e4 c6 2.d4 d5 3.exd5 cxd5 4.Bd3) is a simple and easy to learn answer to the Caro-Kann. By clarifying the central tension White gives himself a clear plan of attack using the half open e-file and the e5 square. This is far from easy for Black to meet as Bobby Fischer, Jan Timman, Walter Browne and other leading Grandmasters have demonstrated in their games. Black too has his resources but he needs to know what he's doing. On this DVD you will find a clear explanation of the strategy for both sides as well as answers to popular treatments such as 4...Nc6 5.c3 Qc7. Whilst the main focus is on the White side of this opening you will also find ways for Black to defend.
