I play the caro-cann myself, but I stay away from the variations generally considered boring. Let me explain.
Caveman Caro-Kann


Thanks, fireflashghost. I think I'll take your advice and avoid the Bg5 variation - c4 instead looks a sound try for advantage. I want to stick to 4.h4 because at my lowly level many players reply with the natural-looking 4...h6 5.g4 Bh7?!, which is excellent for White. I've won quite a few games in this line.
This is the dangerous variation known as the Caveman Caro-Kann. Now if Black plays 5...Qb6, White has the sacrificial line 6.Bd3!, planning to give up the rook on a1 for a fierce attack. See Michael Goeller's article here. My question is, what if Black does something else? 5...f6 looks OK for example, just playing to undermine the White centre. Then there doesn't seem much of an advantage. But I can't even find this move on ChessBase. Any thoughts?
