In this video of the Caro-Kann Defense series, IM Alex Astaneh is going to be covering the Classical Variation in the Caro-Kann Defense. After the initial moves 1.e4 c6 2.d4 d5, white can either continue with the move 3.Nc3 or with 3.Nd2. After that, black will recapture on e4 with 3…dxe4. White takes on e4 with 4.Nxe4 and black has several options to continue:

0:40 4…Nd7, Karpov Variation
0:46 4…Nf6, Tartakower Variation / Bronstein Variation
1:15 4…Bf5, Classical Variation (Mainline)

The main focus of this video is on black's response with 4...Bf5, the Classical Variation.
