In this video, IM Alex Astaneh is continuing the Caro-Kann Defense series with the Two Knights Variation. The Two Knights Variation can be reached via two different move orders. One possible move order is 1.e4 c6 2.Nc3 d5 3.Nf3 whereas in the second option, white's knight moves are transposed. After 3...Nf6 4.e5 Ne4, we reach the position from where the analysis of the different variations starts.

The main focus of this video is on black's best responses to white's last moves:

4:42 5.d4
6:46 5.d3
11:26 5.Ne2
