Here is a 15 minute (per side) game that I just completed at FICS.
This is my first 15 minute game in quite some time. The rust shows. I mostly play 1 and 3 minute at FICS (at least since I found this site 🙂 ).
At the time, I felt like 16. c4 was great. It didn't work out quite so well though. I think the advantage flip flopped a few times. In the end, I think I was a little lucky it worked out as well as it did.

On the one hand, it is the reason I don't play the Caro-Kann much anymore. It is very aggressive, and black often ends up on the defensive for quite a while.
On the other hand, white is taking an isolated pawn which will cause much suffering later in the game if the attack doesn't pan out. It's kind of like lighting a fuse. With each minor piece exchange, I get more and more uncomfortable though.
Just my experience with both sides of it.
With Black They Win ... With White I Lose 🙂

I'm gonna head to the blitz room now and play some 1 0, if I can quite sneezing long enough. 🙂
