My ULTRA Aggressive System against the Caro-Kann

Despite my best intentions to switch to positional play with 1.d4, I always come back to 1.e4 because of all the aggressive lines available. Why play aggressive? Well, people at my lowly level don't do as well under pressure. No one is a great tactician so it's a bit of a free-for-all... and fun... and well that's the point.

My repetoire includes aggressive (or at least open) lines against every response to 1.e4. Below is my "go-to" against the Caro-Kann. I like it because it puts the Caro-Kann player out of book almost immediately as it's a line they are not likely to encounter often (maybe 1 out of every 100 games, if that).

The opening has a name ("bayonet attack" I think). If you like playing with the initiative then give it a shot. Here is my recent game playing it in match with 24hr time control:

That one's for the book! How To Win Chess Games Quickly - Book 2.

Black played horribly

Which is what happens when people at my level are put out of their comfort zone. Agree that Black was too materialistic.

Great game but shall work only against lower rated players.

black should have just played e6 instead of bh7. you are forgetting how horrendously weak you just left the h4 pawn if white decides to double the g pawns.

black needs to chill eat some nuggets

Agree, in analyzing the game a bit and looking at master games it seems *slightly* more tame (but still fun) with Nf3 on move 5 rather than putting the pawn on f3. I may give that a shot next time around.

 If people are too lazy to study the defense they are playing, then yes, feel free to inflict pain on them, as per the game above.  But it seems odd that the time control was 24 hours.  Surely, Black could look up the proper response to your line given all that time.  Why he didn't seems a bit odd.  If the time control were Game in 5/0 or faster, your use of that bayonet line probably makes more sense.

How well does white stand after the simple 13...e6? (taking at c2 is obviously suicidal).

Not done any in-depth analysis, but his position looks like crap.

Think I'm busted after 13...e6. Waters were a bit uncharted for me and I don't think any master games followed after my 7. Nh3 (the overwhelming choice is 7. e6, with lack luster results at master level but clearly just fine for my level of play). 

You need to not confuse "aggressive" with horrible play.

You need to not be a dick.

Thats quite possible, but thats beside the point.  Youre confusing being aggressive with bad play.  Anyone can be aggressive if a game is full of bad moves.

Ultra bad system against the Caro-kann*

I haven't had a chance to use this in quite awhile...

LOL FFS trolls...

The point of sharing the game was to just have some fun and share some ideas, but alas, this is chess.com where everyone is apparently a closet GM. 

I never said the opening was GOOD, I said it was fun, and quite aggressive. I didn't make it up either, plenty of titled players have played it... Jesus Christ LOL.

So sure, it's "bad"... I win with it all the time and it's fun. No one forcing you to play it.

You know what is aggressive too? 2.Bc4 3.Qh5

Oh, you mean the go-to opening of IM Perunovic? Lots of chances in it actually. Will take his word over yours.

I don't think that game was "horrible".  Rather too speculative comes closer.

And I think it does not matter if the silicon idiot says plus or minus 2 when the position is complex and hard to play properly.

Here, it wasn't: Black's proper defence was rather straightforward, but certainly enough not trivial.
