About this opening
The Hillbilly Attack (1.e4 c6 2.Bc4) aims the bishop at f7 at once to surprise the Caro-Kann. The idea is aggressive but not very pressing: with ...d5, Black chases the bishop with gain of tempo and gets comfortable play. It is more a surprise and blitz weapon than a serious theoretical try, meant to take the opponent out of prepared lines on move two.
