Caro-Kann Defense: Gurgenidze System
Overview
Caro-Kann Defense: Gurgenidze System 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 is reached after 6 plies of play, with the move sequence 1. e4 c6 2. d4 d5 3. Nc3 g6.
The line refines Caro-Kann Defense, which traces back to the root opening King's Pawn Game.
