The advanced is exactly why i don't play the caro-kann very often anymore .. I'm psychologically damaged by being skewered by the bayonet attack in blitz games too often
hi guys,thnx for the response.but,there has to be some way to tackle this,i think 1 way would be :
a. keep the king in center and delay castlng until white has started kng side expansion.2.When he does,make an appropriate long castling and counter attack along king side itself where white has castled.
3.This can possibly give rise to tactical oppurtunities for black along kingside since white's king is there. what do u think abt this idea to play against advanced caro kann with white playing f4,g4,etc.
