About this opening
The Euwe Attack (1.e4 c6 2.b3) prepares the queen's bishop fianchetto to b2 to control the long diagonal and support e4 from a distance. White takes a hypermodern, flexible approach, avoiding the beaten paths of the Caro-Kann. Black usually equalizes with ...d5 and natural development. It is an unobtrusive positional option, favoring long-term pressure.
