Caro-Kann Defence:Classical Variation

[edit | edit source]

With this move, black develops a piece, prepares possible queenside castling, and prevents the white bishop from coming to f4, which could be problematic for black's king should he castle long. White's two main options from here include:

  • 11. Bd2 - The standard, main line move.
  • 11. Rh4!? - A less common, aggressive move sometimes seen in professional play. White intends to swing the rook out to help pressure a black target.
