Oh, yes! What do you like to throw at the Caro-kann players?
Crazy Openings and wild play.
Sort:
I like throwing the Jerome Gambit into action every now and then...Makes for an interesting game at the very least.
Sometimes I like to play king's-gambit

I am a crazy gambit player, I try to transpose to the BDG via the following move order 1 e4 c6 2 d4 d5 3 Nc3 dxe4 4 f3.... I play this OTB in both blitz and long play, sometimes against highly rated opposition (1800-2100, till present). I have, so far, scored 3 wins, 1 draw, 1 loss (not the opening's fault, I miscalculated a combination in a 15 0 tournament game). My idea is to question the value of White's knight on c3 Vs the value of Black's pawn on c6 (these are the "extra" moves, over and above the normal BDG move order). My chief reason for conducting the opening in this way is to unsettle the "steady" Caro-Kann player, choosing a battleground he may be unfamiliar with, and/or unhappy about. Caro-Kann players mostly prefer slow positional games, this takes them out of their comfort zone from move 4.
p.s I'm a crazy gambit player, but Gonnosuke is a Crazy gambit player... check out some of his games.
I'm a constant gambit player and love me some UCO's. Are there any other players out there like me?
