Caro-Kann Defense: Panov-Botvinnik, Herzog DefenseInitial Position
After the Exchange Variation (1.e4 c6 2.d4 d5 3.exd5 cxd5), White plays 4.c4, initiating the Panov-Botvinnik Attack. Black responds with the Herzog Defense (4...Nf6 5.Nc3 Nc6 6.Bg5 dxc4 7.d5 Na5), accepting the isolated d-pawn in exchange for active piece play and pressure on White's queenside. Black aims to exploit the weak c4 pawn and create counterplay against White's central advance.
