One of my favorite openings to play as white is the Shirov Attack in the Advance Caro. An extremely aggressive and fun way to play against the Caro-Kann.
i think g4 is also for the bayonet attack
The Shirov attack delays g4 by playing Nc3 first
so like you could play the bayonet attack then once they play a move you can play nc3 and turn it to the shriov
No, because the point of playing Nc3 first is for black to play e6 and lock their bishop on the outside, so that g4 is more forceful since they can’t retreat backwards
yes so if they play e6 it transposes to shirov?
