Don't be afraid to sacrifice

All I'm going to say is that he had multiple chances to take your queen, one reason why you won might be because both of blundered a lot.
That was not even a correct sacrifice. There are bishop sacs in kings gambit, but these one wasn't a case
@Lil_Puppet its similar to Cochraine gambit, but you schouldn't sacrifice anything against Caro Kann. Sacrifices are in Kings Gambit, where he takes the pawn.
"you schouldn't sacrifice anything against Caro Kann"
A certain Tal disagrees.
@tpr Well, black got an advantage in a middlegame, but blundered later... I wouldn't consider that one strong. There are sacs in the Caro Kann, like in to knights attack, but normally they lead to a forced checkmate, or you get a piece back
@Spirit_Of_Light @tpr Thanks for your help - remember, however, these are 1/0 games Puppet would never use these sacs in a long game... Li'l Puppet enjoyed the game between Tal & Vukic!
The Tal-Vukic sacrifice was a repeat from the match for the World Championship

Obviously Tal was not afraid to sacrifice in the Caro-Kann, not in long, over the board games and even against the World Champion in a match for the World Championship. Since he repeated the sacrifice against Vukic, he must have held the sacrifice for correct.
