A few poor moves (as would be expected in blitz), but overall a fairly good example of the types of position that can arise in the Caro-Kann. I feel fairly confident playing against the Caro-Kann and yet I made an early blunder forgetting to play Kf3. Luckily my opponent missed the opportunity to take the advantage. The game was a good lesson in move order!
Here is a blitz game that shows the simple back rank mate being used as a tactic to win the game. If you want to get better at spotting this tactic then I would recommend doing the puzzle rush activity on chess.com as you will find the idea comes up often and in different ways.
Hi everyone!
Here is a bltiz game that features the Caro Kann opening. I play the classical line with a delayed h5. I felt like I had a really comfortable position and was able to maintain good pressure. The game ends with a nice pin that leads to mate.
Hi everyone!
Here is blitz game just for laughs today. I made a mouse slip early on the the game with g5. It ends up being a good move as I pick up a knight for free and then go on to just clean up the game. Another interesting thing about this game was that I had an accuracy score of 98.7. The only bad move being the mouse slip?! I play on chess.com and I really like the accuracy feature and game analysis tools on the site. I may post more about those in the future.
