Caro-Kann: Surprise Weapons

No tricks against 1…c6 -
Become the best Caro-Kann player you can be

This is not just another ordinary Caro-Kann course. Most Caro-Kann players will have their solid standard responses to White's main variations.

But how can you really mix it up if White plays one of their well-known mainlines? Do Caro-Kann players have to allow their opponents to get their kind of positions?

Caro-Kann: Surprise Weapons shows you that Black can also play surprising, aggressive chess in this highly sturdy opening. With the lines in here, Black spices things up and catches White off guard with cunning surprise weapons.

This course is all about outwitting your opponent - many times White is trying to get a comfortable game without a lot of theory, and you can catch them by surprise by playing novel yet solid lines that will force your opponent to think.

The surprises come early and take White directly out of their comfort zone. You'll show White you are comfortably on your turf in almost any Caro variation.

This is the ideal supplement to your Caro-Kann repertoire.

What you will learn inside:

♟ 5...Na6!? Or how to make the Two Knights Variation harmless - pivot your knight from the rim on a6 to b4 and threaten a fork on c2

♟ Trap White's queen with a daring rook sac in the accelerated Panov

♟ Bait White into a pawn grab and leave the queen out of play - with an unusual central e5 push in the Exchange Variation

♟ Fianchetto against the Fantasy Variation - and get a better position for Black!

And more!
