1. e4 c6 2. d4 d5 3. exd5 cxd5 4. c4 {The Panov-Botvinnik Attack. White heads
away from the maneuvering Caro-Kann middle-games and steers for an IQP
position with some attacking chances. Every Caro player should be prepared for
this.} Nf6 5. Nc3 e6 6. Nf3 Bb4 $1 {[#] The B will very often retreat (even
unprovoked) to e7, but this is not a full loss of tempo since White's usual
moves to defend c3 (Bd2 or Qc2) both reduce White's control on the d-file,
weakening the d4-pawn and eliminating the threat of d4-d5.} 7. cxd5 (7. Bd3 {

the game.} 30. h4 $2 (30. Rxc2 $2 Qxe5 {Only move.} $19 {is the tactical point: White's
weak back rank allows Black to trade the Bd1 for the Ne5 after which there is
