Finnish Variation (4...h6) Does the Finnish Variation of the Caro Kann (1.e4 c6 2.d4 d5 3.Nc3 dxe4 4.Nxe4 h6) have any independent merit? Naturally some lines can diverge back into mainline theory—and 4...h6 can also serve as a... Started 07/10/18 at 05:20:55 by HgMan	2	3477	07/10/18 at 15:01:08 By: HgMan
Good book for the CaroKann? I am getting back into chess again and I have been a habitual CaroKann player. What is a good modern book on the defense so I can catch up with general theory.

Exchange Variation in Opening Repertoire ...c6? From the Index of Variations it seems there is no "Exchange Variation" section, but only 4.Bf4. I find that rather strange. Anyone who owns/knows the book can clarify? Started 11/23/17 at 12:29:49 by TD	5	7053	11/28/17 at 06:58:46 By: AlekseiNK
Smyslov/Karpov Variation: 4...Nd7 Inasmuch as there have been new repertoire books on the Caro Kann, the recommendations have leaned toward the Classical Variation (4...Bf5) with some new ideas.

Is the solid and boring CaroKann really solid? I have been studying the Caro because I was told it was very solid.
