As a Caro-Kann player I learned the hard way Bf5 is a bad move. Countless games I have lost... but never have I seen this g4 pawn attack. Very cool move. Moral of the story, play the Botvinnik-Carls attack.
At least black should pull the bishop back on d7 or invest 1000s of hours on theories on the Bayonet line (g4 move) to keep the bishop on c1-h7-diagonal.
I played this line with black and when I was hit by the Bayonet I said to myself: "No more!".
I am sorry for this intrusion, but I feel this is important. Recently, a very wholesome, friendly, and talented member of the chess community was lost. In the times before Daniel Naroditsky's death, he was being harassed online by a former world champion Vladimir Kramnik. The chess community fully condemns Kramnik and his actions, and we wish for change. Please sign this petition in support of Daniel and the struggles that he was going through:
I currently win 50% of my games with the Caro-Kann when playing Black, and the success trend may be upwards - it is an opening I am studying. I find it to be a good opening against White if White is too aggressive and impetuous. Not free rating points for me at least, as was claimed by Heckinsprout up the thread, but I am definitely competitive when playing it.
Â
in the 39th move, there is a fork of knight between the king and rook and it's a faster checkmate, do u see it?
No idea what you are talking about. Please do tell...
