White "Sicilian defense"
1. e4 c5

Thank you Marco65.

Personally, Fredthebear recommends the romantic, classical style 1.e4 e5 for amateurs (including gambits) for a natural, more active game with winning and drawing chances by Black. The active piece play and the rapid kingside attacks in the double king pawn open games makes a person fall in love with chess; often both colors enjoyed playing the aggressive 1.e4 e5 open game. Nearly all the great masters have played this way and the study of their games is highly recommended.

(There is also something to be said for the lifelong tunnel-vision study of a specialist's flank opening with the White pieces, such as 1.b3 Larsen's Opening, 1.b4 Polish-Orangutan, 1.c4 English, 1.f4 Henry Bird's Opening, or 1.g3 Hungarian Opening. Black's various responses give White the variety that s/he otherwise denies one's self. These flank openings are less concerned with the exact move order necessary to play 1.e4 successfully, and depend more upon the minor piece placement within the resulting pawn structure. White can become so familiar with his responses to evolving Black pawn structures that his insight yields a middlegame advantage through shear accumulated experience if the center holds up.)

After studying the Caro-Kann and Slav Defenses, Black can safely play 1...c6 and 2...d5 against ANY White response. This testimonial speaks to the sound strength of the structure. Black must care for the base of the pawn chain at b7, develop the king's bishop usefully, and wait a handful(s) of moves before an opportunity to seize the initiative is presented.

Fredthebear is trying to be fair and respectful to the Caro-Kann Defense here. The Caro-Kann is a world class defense! The C-K has the approval of world champions... the likes of Capablanca and Botvinnik did not fool around with inferior openings or defenses. Petrosian was a fine defensive player who used it, as was the constrictor Anatoly Karpov. My friend, this is the supreme pedigree of a championship defense for a patient player of the Black pieces!

Caro-Kann Defense: 1.e4 c6
ECO Codes: B10–B19

The Caro-Kann is a Semi-Open Game defense where Black prepares a center pawn thrust by first supporting it with 1...c6. It has a reputation of being a solid, strong defense for Black with a good pawn structure in the endgame. It is named after the English player Horatio Caro and the Austrian's Marcus Kann. They both analyzed the opening in 1886.

The Caro-Kann is popular, and the following is the varying response statistics played by White: • 2.d4 - 80%.
• 2.Nc3 - 6%.
• 2.c4 - 5%.
• 2.d3 - 3%.
• 2.Nf3 - 3%.

The Caro-Kann Defense 1.e4 c6 might be the best defense to 1.e4 for the experienced, practical player as well as the professional positional player. The slow-starting Caro-Kann does not have a tactical appeal, but it is not inferior when properly played. Patience and endgame knowledge is required! The Caro-Kann is a solid, trusted defense for many Black defenders at all levels of play. It is an improvement over the immediate 1...d5 Center Counter/Scandinavian defense.

Black must Must MUST know the common opening traps that lurk or s/he will be crushed out of the gates -- but this is true of any defense. If the Black defender knows what's up, the C-K is a safe, sound, generally slow but solid defense that has been played by the world's best. Overall, there's less C-K opening lines to learn compared to other defenses. If the Caro-Kann defender is patient and accurate, White can become frustrated with the lack of targets to overwhelm and the slow pace of play.

It appears this collection will emphasize White victories disproportionally. The same trapping themes are over represented here because they keep popping up over and over, generation after generation in part because knight maneuvers can really fool an unsuspecting defender, and Black cannot afford to make a weakening pawn move while lagging in development. If Black does his homework and stays alert, there's no reason to get snared and a fair or better defensive game is the result.

Black defenders must understand why White won. The Caro-Kann is definitely a defense of accumulated understanding. Learn from the mistakes of others because life is too short to repeat them all yourself!

On the other hand, the most popular defense, the Sicilian defense 1.e4 c5, gives White a quick attack and space advantage through the center while Black must counterattack vigorously, usually on the queenside or diagonals. The speedy Sicilian is much more of a hazardous race to break through for both colors. Because the Sicilian is a double-edged sword with no time to spare, it requires much Much MUCH more study than the amiable Caro-Kann. The Sicilian is no better, no worse than the Caro-Kann, but very different.

Beware: As with any opening/defense, various move orders allow transpositions into different lines altogether, starting out as one and becoming another. The Caro-Kann often accommodates such transposals. Alternate ECO codes will indicate such changes.

A Windsong by Ray Paquette (1984):

As you set sail for new horizons
May a brisk fair wind be with you
May your journey provide that mixture of
Joy, contentment, love and excitement
That gives rise to zestful anticipation
Of new adventures together.
May you cheerfully weather
the unavoidable storms together
And steer as clear of all obstacles
As the currents allow
May God Bless and keep you
Bon Voyage
