# The Caro-Kann Defence

(e4 c6)
A solid, positional defence, similar to the French, but without the hemmed-in light-squared bishop.

I've defended Hilton Diamond until 2028.

**Debit / credit:**

-$752.50
+21 103 points

Average price per stay — $30. Pricey.

Next year I plan to bring the bill down to $500.

The weakest [beast of the Big Five](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_largest_hotel_companies) when it comes to loot for the loot box.

So why bother?

By room count worldwide, it has almost caught up with Marriott and is breathing down its neck.

The plan is to pull myself together in my old age and finish off Mother Africa.

At the moment the score isn't in my favour: 54 to 8.

That's the maths, [my little killer whales](https://t.me/statkarusel/419). Checkmate is some way off; time for a tea break 🫍
