For over thirty years, Anatoly Karpov consistently employed the Classical Variation of the Caro-Kann Defense in top-level chess competitions, including World Championship matches. Many successful opening innovations used by the esteemed World Champion originated from his and his seconds' dedicated work. Mikhail Podgaets, a leading Caro-Kann specialist and one of Karpov's assistants, collaborated closely on this research. Their findings, kept secret for years, are now revealed, offering a step-by-step exploration of this popular chess opening system (1. e4 c6 2. d4 d5 3. Nc3 de 4. Ne4 Bf5).
