In this video, IM Alex Astaneh is continuing the Caro-Kann Defense series with the Fantasy Variation. The Fantasy Variation can be reached with the move order 1.e4 c6 2.d4 d5 and after white's move 3.f3, we have the Fantasy Variation on the board. After a couple of exchanges, white has a strong center with the pawns on the e4- and d4-square. In this video, you will learn from the black's perspective how to play against the Fantasy Variation.

    Hi Alex, thank you for your teaching and I was able to surprise my friend with your idea of Bb4, and the game continue quite well. But in the next game, to avoid this, my friend played 4. a3 to prevent this, and I can't solve that problem. Do you have any idea?

    actually im looking for the exact opposite lol all I am finding in terms of whites perspective is if black plays into everything what white wants making it very easy for white

    Thanks for going into this line! I was looking at a different video, but the creator dismissed creating the early pawn triangle because of the "French bishop" situation. Thanks for covering how development is still possible for black's light-squared bishop!

    Thanks, I faced the fantasy variation in a tournament. I was unfortunately unprepared and lost. It was the deciding game, which means that if I won the game. Then I would have won the tournament. Thank you for giving me some solid responses for black!

    After e6 for black What do you think about the manœuver, g6, Bg7 and queenb6 to pressure the pawn on d4? (All black moves) or does that run into problem?

    i would guess white can very easily play h4 h5 into this. h4 is an idea not looked at here anyway.

    Any endgame will favor white as they have two bishops
