TWIC 971-72
Here is an update on the solid 4...Nd7 Caro-Kann Defence.

More About Voronezh, Russia
One of the featured games was played in the Voronezh Master Open so here is more on the city.




Game 1
Black played a long patient massaging game based on a better pawn structure and was eventually rewarded.

Position 1
Black has been pressing for a long time based on having a better pawn structure. What do you recommend for black now?

84.Kf3


Game 2
The Ng5 line is the most challenging way for white to meet 4...Nd7 but still, this does not assure white of any advantage.

Shomoev,A (2565) - Sjugirov,S (2647)
Caro-Kann 4..Nd7 5.Ng5 Ngf6 6.Bd3[B17]
66th ch-RUS HL Yekaterinburg RUS (3.7), 22.06.2013

Position 1
Black is playing active defence and has attacked Bb2/f2 with 26...Nd3. What do you recommend for white now?
