A very rare system for black in the Caro-Kann – the Gurgenidze System! It avoids main line theory and leads to very interesting imbalanced positions which are often much easier to play for black.

Caro-Kann, Gurgenidze System
Score before round 2.5/3

I have been playing the Caro-Kann and only the Caro-Kann for so long that everybody expects it now. So the Gurgenidze was my attempt to get my opponent out of prep since I’ve never played it before. I think I can safely say that my strategy worked!
