Caro-Kann Defense: Tartakower Variation
Overview
Caro-Kann Defense: Tartakower Variation is a specific line in the Semi-Open Games family (ECO B15), 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 10 plies and takes 1. e4 c6 2. d4 d5 3. Nc3 dxe4 4. Nxe4 Nf6 5. Nxf6+ exf6 to reach the canonical position.
The line refines Caro-Kann Defense, which traces back to the root opening King's Pawn Game.
The line splits into 2 documented sub-systems: Caro-Kann Defense: Forgacs Variation, Perlis Line.
