Caro-Kann Fantasy: the ...e5 Battery

Meet the Fantasy Variation 3.f3 by striking with 3...e5. After 4.dxe5 the queen goes to b6, not d6, which hangs to exd6, and lines up with ...Bc5 against f2 and g1. If White grabs with 5.exd5, then 5...Bc5 6.Ne2? is mated by 6...Bf2+ 7.Kd2 Qe3#, and 6.Qe2 Bxg1 is already uncomfortable.
