Caro-Kann Defence

Advance Tal Variation

Tal's aggressive 4.h4 lunges at the bishop on f5 before Black is fully developed. After 4...h6 5.g4 Bd7, White has dramatically expanded on the kingside, but loosened the king's shelter. The resulting positions are double-edged and theoretical, demanding accurate defence and bold counterplay from Black.
