This is our favorite opening. Each part of this series comes directly from our Caro-Kann course, which goes into more detail on each line.

Part 1: Advance Variation

White grabs a bunch of space, but we can exploit a weak pawn to play for an advantage.

Part 2: Advance Variation with dxc5

White takes the pawn and tires to hold on to it. We show you how to get the pawn back with interest.
