I am not a Caro-Kann player, but what I would do is 1.e4 c6 2.e5 d5 3.exd6 e5 with 4...Bxd6 to come next and you have two open Bishops.

Hey guys, so i'm trying to learn the caro-kann and all the examples i lean don't matter if people play moves that arent brought up.
I just had a game where White played E4, i responded with C6, all good.
But then White proceeded to play Pawn E5 and i was stumped. I couldnt progress my pawn to d4 like normal because i would be en passanted, not could i bring my knight out because it was blocked by my pawn.
I then pushed a pawn to challenge and then his knight came out to protect it.
He just destroyed my pawn structure and i just resigned.
I would just like to know if there is a simple counter to this by people who are good at the caro kann.
Thanks!
