The Advance Variation is a very fashionable approach to try and breach the solid Caro-Kann. Here is the game of the week(so far)

Sawatzki-Hammer

Caro-Kann Advance 4.h4 h5 5.Bd3

Xtracon Chess Open 2019 Rd4.17

After 32..Qxa4(Diagram)

The position is sharp and White has made some progress on the c-file. Black has a potentially useful queenside majority but Black’s kingside is rather open

What do you recommend for White?
