Fantasy Caro Kann: Complete Repertoire

This is the Fantasy variation of the Caro Kann, the f file would be opened for white once he castles (That's as if black takes the pawn) White gets enough counterplay on the kingside and thereby this aggressive response is good for aggressive players! White bolsters his f3-pawn and hopes to obtain a full pawn centre should Black take at e4. It has been used by Alexander Morozevich, the second-highest ranked player in the world (July 2008), with success. It can lead to original positions or transpose into a mainline French Defence with the moves: 3...e6 4. Nc3 Nf6 5. e5 Nfd7 6. f4 c5.
