The Extreme Caro-Kann: Attacking Black with 3.f3

?
How difficult it is to read the book without using a board. A book with 10/10 readability is a bedtime story, a book with 1/10 is a puzzle book full of variations. Readability doesn’t represent the quality of the book.

Usefulness is a measure of how useful the book is for chess improvement within the topic it covers. Books with a high usefulness score should help you improve quicker than those with a low score.

Qb6 is my weapon against the Fantasy. That’s a relatively new move and not something Maroczy had to deal with when he began playing 3.f3 a hundred years ago. It’s a modern, engine-approved way to battle f3. Nepo had white against Ivanchuk in this game from 2010. It’s his turn on move 19 in this opposite sides castling madness. His king is safe on h1, right? How would you evaluate the position?
