Panov Attack in Chess: a Chess Works Publication

The Panov Attack, known in some older books as the Panov-Botvinnik Attack, can arise out of almost any chess opening beginning with 1. d2-d4 and also often arises out of the Caro-Kann and Scandinavian Defenses to 1. e2-e4. The Panov Attack lies at the intersection of the Caro-Kann, Nimzoindian, Sicilian, Scandinavian, Semi-Tarrasch, Ragozin and English openings. This opening is played on both sides by the world's strongest chess grandmasters. The most common move order is 1. e4 c6 2. d4 d5 3. exd5 cxd5 4. c4 Nf6 5. Nc3 This book was originally published in three volumes. Here, we have updated this work by combining all three volumes into one, plus the latest and most important games in each of these three main lines have been added in this supplement.
