Engqvist exlains the Two Knights well. It’s his main weapon against the Caro-Kann as well. So let’s have a look at a typical Two Knights position after Bg4 that I can’t stand for black. In my opinion, along with the Bd3 setup against the Karpov Variation, this is the only line black can never hope for equality against. This game was played by two Croatian GMs, Ivan Šarić, our top player had white, and Zelčić, Croatia’s only famous Caro-Kann player, handled the black pieces. They reached this typical position on move 14. It’s Šarić’s turn. How would you evaluate the position?
