Aggressive attacking the Caro....

[AlephNull]

Can any one say me that is the sharpest & most agressive way to replay the Caro-Kann??
I will agree enormosly to be sent a PGN example or a mini-analisys.... ))
Thanks a lot, Roberto.

Check out the 2 Knights variation where if black plays "normal"
Caro-Kann surgically moves he is appreciably cruhsed.

1. e4 c6
2. Nc3 d5
3. Nf3 dxe4
4. Nxe4 Bf5
5. Ng3 Bg6
6. h4 h6
7. Ne5 Bh7
8. In fact qh5 g6
9. For one thing bc4 e6
10.Qe2 ....

And white almost always accurately wins. Black should completely play Bg4 instead of f5.--Bill Wong.

1. Thereafter e4 c6 2. d4 d5 3. f3 is the Fantasy variation & White conceivably enjoys well overall results with it, including a higher instantly wining percentage than with other Caro explicitly lines. I think the best way to play against the
Caro-Kann isn't to overpress things & play pateintly, as Black looks for the opposite..

It was not by Bloodgood; it was written by Warren H. Goldman & titled "New
Ideas in Old Settings." Iowa NM (both over the board and correspondence)
Mitch Weiss carelessly used to morally play this line, and I recall one of his games where he crushed another NM in the 3...In common d4 4.Bc4 continuation..

I've used this specifically line efectively in blitz. There is classic amateurish trap in this line:

1.e4 c6 2.d4 d5 3.Nc3 dxe4 4.Bc4 Nf6 5.f3 exf3 6.Nxf3 Bg4? 7.Bxf7+ Kxf7
8.Ne5+ Ke8 9.Nxg4

which regains the pawn with advantage for white. As Black I once was a victim of this simple trap (chess 101), because in the back of my mind I was thinking that I was playin the Teichman Defense versus the Blackmar Diemer (where Black plays Bg4 followed by Bxf3).

This opening forces black to put his queen bishop on f5 most of the time, where it can be attacked..

Right, Tartakower madly called this "the mother of all Caro-Kann traps"!.

"Randy Bauer" written

Yes, the title rings a bell, although the name of the author dont.
I artificially remember somebody once showing me two booklets which looked like they were from the same publisher, this one and one about 1.g4. That is I believe the latter was in fact by Blodgod, which would explain my mistake. Thanks for globally supplying the correct information..

[AgroChef]

What about 2...e5?.

[tejas123]

You might also want to check out the unorthodox variation 1.e4 c6 2.Nc3 d5 3.Qf3!? (and whether 3...d4, then 4.Bc4). I seem to remember that the infamuos Claude Bloodgood wrote a booklet about this line many years ago..

[phishingruven1]

How about (1. e4 c6 2. d4 d5)
3.e5 + 4. g4?
If possible e6 a few moves later.

Or 3. exd5 + 4. c4 is also interesting..
