Jun-14-13  DcGentle: As you can see from Chessgames Challenge: The World vs Akobian, 2012, <6. O-O> is the move, with a follow-up of <6... Bg6 7. a4!> or <6... Ne7 7. Nbd2>.

The advance variation of the Caro-Kann should grant a safe advantage to White.

Jun-15-13  parisattack: Just browsing the Chesslab DB, black seems to do fine after 6. 0-0 with a variety of moves... (Here, of course, black played Ne7 on move five.)
Jun-16-13  DcGentle: The World Team game became theoretically relevant when they left known territory on GM level playing <9.c3>, but because quite a number of analysts participated, even before this move some new discoveries were made, so maybe someone should start writing a book on this.

It's too bad that this game was not even published by a bigger media outlet by now, personally I feel sorry for someone playing the advanced variation of the Caro-Kann as White and not winning their game.

  sakredkow: So at this point should club players automatically choose the Advance variation over classical variations of the Caro-Kann when developing a repertoire. Should someone who has committed to the classical make the effort to switch over?

If already happy with classical versions. Might want to look into the early g4 and/or h4 versions of the Advanced. Think they might be called the Van Der Wiel and Tal variations.

Fun to play with White and puts a lot of questions to Black early which often can make standard CK players uncomfortable.
