Caro-Kann Defense: Maróczy Variation
Overview
Caro-Kann Defense: Maróczy Variation is a named branch in the Semi-Open Games group of chess theory, classified under ECO B12.
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.
Play reaches this position via 1. e4 c6 2. d4 d5 3. f3, after 5 plies of opening development.
In the opening tree, this line branches off from Caro-Kann Defense, part of the broader King's Pawn Game system.
It continues primarily into one named line, Maróczy Gambit.
