Caro-Kann Defense: Exchange Variation, Rubinstein Variation
Overview
Caro-Kann Defense: Exchange Variation, Rubinstein Variation is a specific line in the Semi-Open Games family (ECO B13), arising from a recognised theoretical position.
The Semi-Open Games group covers semi-open games — replies to 1.e4 where Black declines the symmetrical 1…e5 in favour of an asymmetric pawn structure.
It begins with 11 plies and takes 1. e4 c6 2. d4 d5 3. exd5 cxd5 4. Bd3 Nc6 5. c3 Nf6 6. Bf4 to reach the canonical position.
The line refines Caro-Kann Defense: Exchange Variation, which traces back to the root opening King's Pawn Game.
