The Caro-Kann Defense is one of the most solid and reliable openings against 1.e4—but what if you could flip the script and drag Caro-Kann players into sharp, tactical chaos?
In this video, GM Igor Smirnov reveals the little-known Von Hennig Gambit, a rare weapon played by only about 2% of White players… yet delivering an 80% win rate in practice!
🔥 What you’ll learn in this lesson:

✅ How to surprise your opponent and force them out of their comfort zone
✅ Typical tactical traps and attacking patterns that punish inaccurate moves
✅ Why this gambit works so well in practical games—even against stronger players
Most Caro-Kann players expect slow, strategic battles. This gambit changes everything: you sacrifice material for immediate piece activity, open lines, and attacking chances that are difficult to handle if your opponent hasn’t prepared.
Whether you’re an improving club player or a seasoned competitor, adding this gambit to your repertoire will give you a powerful surprise weapon that your opponents will never see coming.
