This is why I play 3...c5!? in the Advance, to avoid all of this. Or at least I think it gets an interesting nowadays. I've had pretty good results with it, though! Mostly wins, a few draws, a handful of losses.
I agree with Cutebold, 3...c5!? is quickly becoming a popular sideline, and if you want to play the Advance Caro, you need to be ready for that too.
If you play 3.. c5?! you should in fact be playing a french, instead of a C-K. Enough said.
Hey guys,
I am new to this site but a frequent chess player. I am looking for a weapon against the Caro-Kann and I recently found an interesting idea in the Advance line.
1.e4 c6 2. d4 d5 3. e5 Bf5 4. h4!? with a very clear plan for White. Probably not the soundest of ideas, but I like it better than the Fantasy variation of the Caro-Kann.
Are there frequent replies to 3. e5 from Black? How should White continue? I am currently attempting to salvage a worse, but drawish position as White after 3 ... c5!?.
