What it concludes

In the Caro-Kann Breyer variation, playing knight C4 puts pressure on E5 and sets up a trap where taking on E5 loses a piece after pawn F6.
In the Karpov variation, playing queen takes D4 is a losing blunder for black if white responds with knight to F3.
In the Fantasy variation, playing pawn H5 prevents black from playing H4 and creates a dangerous attacking trap.
In the two knights variation, bishop to F5 followed by knight G3 is a tricky trap for black where bishop F5 can be punished.
