I never heard of this opening untill i was messing around in the analysis board. Initially it looked weird but after some research it turned out to be legit and a rather good opening against the caro-kann defense. I havent used in practice yet, does it work as good as it looks in theory??
I made a study on it for some lines that looked succesfull, if there are any improvements pls tell me :))

It works wonders! As white you usually get an isolated pawn, and the objective is simple- Try to push it down the board with enough preparation and start an attack in the middle of the board or on the kingside.
I introduced this to my friend who is 1100 on a more inferior chess website, and so far she has a 73% win rate after this position.

I thought playing d4 after recapture to follow the control of the center rule. However it is not a target on d2 which white looks for attacking development. If you could look up the middle game plans or see a game then that would be more helpful. I haven’t tried it in the fashion but plan to start soon. Look at the position 5-7 moves in. Do you understand the possibilities or does it not look comfortable?? Try a few games and see how they go (3-5). Good luck.

I used to play Qa4. Not a bad variation but today it rings a bit hollow.
