A Caro-Kann variation that very few people play. For a reason! It's a very sharp and complicated way to fight the Tal Caro-Kann, and it leads to mad positions very hard for humans to understand.

The Tal has always been the arch-nemesis to my Caro-Kann. I really hate the positions I get when I play h5 and go for the main lines. White always seems to have a strategic edge and an easier time attacking. So I chose to play h6 instead in this game! It's a wild variation in which anything can happen, and one mistake means absolute disaster.
