The Caro–Kann Defence is a chess opening characterized by the moves 1. e4 c6. It's a common opening defense against the first move 1. e4. It is a solid opening and it has a lot of similarities with France defense. The main advantage of Caro-Kann, against france, is that Black can develop his light-square bishop. 

Caro-Kann is a Semi-Open opening like the Sicilian Defence and French Defence. Its solid character doesn't mean that Black doesn't has chances to fight for initiative or even to win the game.

Another potential problem for White is that Black has a very good pawn structure and possibilities to get a better endgame.

Last but not least Caro Kann is one of the most popular openings for Black against the common e4 move from white. Black looks to play c6 with the idea of immediately playing d5 next, attacking the e4 pawn. This defense is one of the few moves that is thought to be not only equal for black in the main line but many times advantageous as black reaches a better pawn structure in the end game.
