against the Caro Kann. First of all white voluntarily creates an isolated
pawn which would be a clear target for black to take on. Second of all White is willing to create weaknesses in exchange for initiative and attack.
Even a pawn sacrifice would not matter if white has enough counterplay. Black's goal is to further fortify the position. Develop the pieces with ease and is looking forward to a great game.
