1. e4
This was a second game between me and fedayn, I won the first one. He starts with e4

 
1... c6
Last few days I was looking for a response to e4 which isn't that common to surprise my opponents. I don't like e5...already tried French but somehow i don't like it. I tried also d5 and even b5...so let's try Caro-Kann I'm not familiar with it so I'll just go with the flow....

14... Bc8 15. Ng5 h6 16. Nxf7

18... b6
finally it's time to kick his knight from c5

 
19. cxd5
but he makes a mistake... now i can attack his queen and then take his knight with my pawn

 
19... Nb4 20. dxe6
he had a little different plan but no problems for me actually it helps since it develops my LSB (at last)

 
20... Bxe6
now it's time for him to move the queen

 
21. Qa3 bxc5 22. dxc5 Bc4
trying to make him to remove his guard of f2

 
23. Rd2
but he stays on 2nd rank
