Caro kann tarkatower variation trap

Sort:
trw0311
does anyone else like the tarkatower as black? I very much prefer it over the main line. It’s different from other variations in that you have a bad pawn structure for endgames. But your king is very very safe, especially when you put a knight on f8, and it can be pretty trappy in the opening. If they survive the traps it will be a positional game with few obvious weaknesses for white to exploit .
