Vidit Gujrathi: The Fashionable Caro-Kann 1+2
Main Lines and Side Lines
The Caro Kann is a very tricky opening. Black’s play is based on controlling and fighting for key light squares. It is a line which was very fashionable in late 1990s and early 2000s due to the successes of greats like Karpov, Anand, Dreev, etc. Recently, due to strong engines, a lot of key developments have been made and some new lines have been introduced, while others have been refuted altogether.
I have analyzed the new trends carefully and found some new ideas for Black. The dynamic play based on a strong strategic foundation has always fascinated me, and in these DVDs I have suggested the lines which I personally prefer and employ in practice. Recently at the World Rapid and Blitz Championships at Qatar I used many of them with great success, managing to score important wins over top GMs Vachier Lagrave, Radjabov, Jobava and drawing against Vishy Anand. I am sure you will learn a lot about the opening and will enjoy the battle for the light squares.
