I think Qg4 is strong, as black will have to weaken his kingside with h5. It seems better to me to play 4....e6 as black, which will usually transpose, but in case of 5.Qg4 h5 ideas with Bb5 and/or Qa4 are not dangerous anymore, as black then has Bd7.

Paul,
In response to your request for readers' games with 6.Qg4 I send this. Both players were rated <2200, so it's not perfect!

Advance Caro-Kann 3...c5, 6.Qg4!?

In the Advance Caro-Kann with 1.e4 c6 2.d4 d5 3.e5, I sometimes wonder whether 3...c5! deserves to be called the main line (instead of 3...Bf5). After, for example, 4.dxc5 Nc6 5.Bb5 e6 6.Be3 Nge7 7.c3 Bd7 8.Bxc6 Nxc6 9.f4 g5! I'm not convinced that White can prove any advantage (can anyone convince me otherwise?), e.g. 10.fxg5 Nxe5 11.Nf3 Nxf3+ 12.Qxf3 Bg7 13.0-0 0-0 14.Nd2 Bb5 with compensation for the pawn (as given on ChessPub). I think I would prefer Black in this position.

So in the above line, how about 6.Qg4!? (instead of 6.Be3) as a way for White to try and play for an edge? This move is mentioned on ChessPub, but without any follow up. Does anyone have any games or analysis with this move?

Regards,
Paul Cumbers.  Smiley
