A clear program to fight the Panov Attack

The Panov Attack is perhaps the most unpleasant weapon against the Caro-Kann Defense, because it creates completely different types of positions, which is why as a black player you should know exactly how to set yourself up. Danielsen recommends the variation with 5...Nc6 (after 3.exd5 cxd5 4.c4 Nf6 5.Nc3) and then presents the individual lines. The highlight of his repertory suggestion is that it avoids the famous Panov endgame that arises after 6.Nf3 Bg4 7.cxd5 without slipping into obscure side variations. The variations after 6.Bg5 dxc4 are another focus of the Icelandic grandmaster's explanations.
