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.
