Similar to French defence, this move is an improvement over French defence. In this too, Black surrenders control of the center to White and tries to get a pawn at d5.
Caro-Kann starts out as:
1. e4 c6 2. d4 d5
The main line of the Caro-Kann is
1. e4 c6 2. d4 d5 3. Nc3 dxe4
The difference between French Defence and Caro –Kann is that Black eliminates one of White's central pawns and thus is in a position to get his pieces developed. This is an improvement over the French Defence. However there is a drawback too. In this move Black's pieces end up playing a passive defensive role, so players who choose this opening are hoping for White to commit an error.

Most of the players use this move when they loss their patience or just have a guts to take risk. In most of the attempts the few would be successful only by the carelessness of white player. It’s just a trial and error method where only error is gifted for their braveness. So it’s always good to have a plan B.
