Alien Gambit

Chess Improvement

Hi all,

I was curious whether anyone knows of good resources for fighting the Alien Gambit? I started playing the Caro consistently months ago, and it's still the most frustrating set-up for me in ways.

I've watched Banzea and Jensen's YT videos, which are both helpful. C5 is where it's at, but I get tripped up sometimes with middlegame tactics and tricks, especially in blitz. Thanks for any help!
