I'm glad that Wikipedia has the Bronstein-Larsen variation as unsound because my GM tutor Rybka highly recommends it  :
Obviously my opponent was taken unawares (making almost all dubious moves) but without a doubt from the beginning, the pressure was on from the Caro Kann!

This used to be my favorite opening with black. And I had vicious results too. 
|

|
Have you ever tried the variation from the English opening (1. c4)?
|
|
|
That looks pretty dubious for black, what am I missing?
|

Well I've never tried it but it is listed as an option under the Wikipedia article.
Rybka recommends:
Which looks pretty agreeable to me. 
Its actually a simple transposition to the Panov-Botvinnik attack and now that I think about it 1. c4 is definitely within the repertoire of the Caro Kann and will automatically transpose into main lines.

I'd still take white from that position, white controls all of the central quares except d5, and can increase that through the semiopen e file. I assume blacks long term plan is queenside pressure and play against the d pawn?
