The 4...Nf6 Caro-Kann

En DVD om de ambisiøse variantene i Caro-Kann der svart etter 1 e4 c6 2 d4 d5 3 Sc3 dxe4 4 Sxe4 Sf6!? 5 Sxf6+ påtar seg en dobbeltbonde med 5...gxf6 eller 5...exf6, to helt ulike systemer som har og har hatt sine tilhengere på høyt nivå.

Stormester Nigel Davies er alltid en dyktig mann i åpnings-DVD'er, både sjakkmessig, pedagogisk og med en behagelig presenstasjon da engelsk er morsmålet hans.

ChessBase sin egen omtale:

The dynamic 4...Nf6 line of the Caro-Kann (after 1.e4 c6 2.d4 d5 3.Nc3 dxe4 4.Nxe4) has been unfashionable in recent years whilst the theory on 4...Bf5 and 4...Nd7 now extends well into the middle game. 4…Nf6 therefore offers a golden opportunity for Caro-Kann players to throw their opponents on their own resources – and here even top Grandmasters can go wrong.

On this DVD Nigel Davies examines both the Bronstein-Larsen (5.Nxf6+ gxf6) and the Tartakower (5.Nxf6+ exf6) systems and shows how the doubled f-pawn, common to both lines gives Black a range of aggressive plans and ideas. This is why 4...Nf6 has been favored by great players such as Alexander Alekhine, Viktor Kortchnoi, David Bronstein, Bent Larsen, Nigel Short and Savielly Tartakower. Others are likely to join them.
