Dear Caro-Kann experts,
I recently bought above mentioned book and looked at chapter 27 (Caro-Kann) which is the following line:
1.e4,c6 2.d4,d5 3.Nd2, dxe4 4.Nxe4, Bf5, 5.Ng3, Bg6 6.h4,h6 7.Nf3, e6 8.Ne5, Bh7 9.Bd3, Bxd3 10.Qxd3, Nd7 11.f4, Bb4+ 12.c3 - I am interested in 12...Bd6 (instead of Be7). On Bd6 Negi only gives 13.Nh5! N without analysis - just saying 13.Nh5!N, which is more powerful here than in the main line below, as Black cannot take on h4. I wonder how the line continues for white after 13...Ndf6 e.g. 14.Nxg7+, Kf8 15.Nxe6+ (what else - Qg3 does not work as Rh7 will follow an 16.f5 does not work as the Ng8 covers h6 pawn) fxe6; 16.Ng6+,Kg7 17.Nxh8,Kxh8 18.Bd2, Qa5
any thougts, ideas, proposals will be aprecciated how white can get an advantage here.
best regards
Don't know how to gain advantage. Reckon some fairly serious analysis is needed.

If White doesn't try to "punish" Black's omission of Nd7 with the Ne5/f4 plan and carries on with the normal h5/Bd3 plan, has Black got anything better than transposing back into the Main line, and if so, doesn't playing this move order just give White another option that Black has to study
Negi does not seem to believe in 8.h5 (see Negi p.419). The problem seems to be that black can delay Nd7 and probably benefit. The following is given as an example:
Have a nice day.
