2.Bc4 is one of the worst responses to the Caro-Kann. f3 isn't doing him any favours either. 16...Qe8 isn't threatening Qe1#, because he can play Qf1. Admittedly you are much much better with Bxf1, but it's not mate. My jerky criticism aside, good game, and nice Knight fork combined with an absolute pin on the pawn at g2!
Good game!

lol yep, when I played the caro I never lost to 2.Bc4.. and played some against stronger players than myself. when I looked up what its called in a db it said "hillbilly attack" which made sense

Hey you said on 16. Qe8 isn't threatening because he will play Qf1. Look this, then I take with my quenn his quenn with protect of white bishop on d3 and thats also checkmate. You need better eye D:
yea i saw but if i play Qe1 he need to play Qf1 and then I "eat" his quenn with bishop.
I enjoyed your game. It quickly became a very open game.
A recent article here on chess.com: "Openingsfor tactical players: Caro-Kann defence" has a number of very good examples of Caro-Kann. You may find it interesting
I have downloaded the pgn of each game into a folder for further study.
Thank you on comentary.
That's exactly what I said! Qf1, Bxf1, then the rook is stopping any checkmate. It's still a great gain of material though.
I am impresed by playing as black with Car Kann. Look this party on Playchess.com
I agree with Cutebold that 2. Bc4 is a terrible line against the Caro-Kann. The advance variation is pretty annoying for black (1. e4 c6 2. d4 d5 3. e5), or if you want an open game you can go for the aggressive Panov attack (1. e4 c6 2. d4 d5 3. exd5 cxd5 4. c4!)
