Caro-Kann 101: The Short Variation (Advance)
Back to the Caro-Kann Advance and 5...Nd7. Take a close look at moves 6-10 in contrast to G26 below. This time Svidler is on the black side. Morozevich's move, 9...h5, is worth a closer look, although it didn't work out for Svidler here. Sjugirov's 10.g3 is the novelty in this game.

Caro-Kann 101: The Short Variation (Advance)
The Short variation of the Advance Caro-Kann has probably never been more popular than now. Black is barely holding his own statistically; however, this try by Svidler is not going to set Black back much.
