The Bind

This is possibly the most one-sided game I've ever played against a strong opponent. It comes from Round 5 of the recent 2013 Amateur Team East. My opponent was unfamiliar with the opening and made a horrible decision early on (f5). To be honest, I didn't know this opening either. A friend showed me a similar game he played in Round 1 of the same tournament around 11pm the night before, and when the Caro Kann was played against me the next morning, I decided to go for it on a whim. It turned out to be my best game from the tournament...or at least the most beautiful.
