Overview

Caro-Kann Defense: Finnish Variation is a variation within the Semi-Open Games family, indexed as ECO B16.

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 8 plies and takes 1. e4 c6 2. d4 d5 3. Nd2 dxe4 4. Nxe4 h6 to reach the canonical position.

It is a variation of Caro-Kann Defense: Main Line, which itself descends from the root opening King's Pawn Game.
