black cân't really play the panov properly, no if he is no ready to sac a piece.

In the Nf3 line, In the other, Ne4 gain space.

Black can get equality against the Panov without sacrificing anything.



Black slowly plays for an advantage without any reckless play.

Considering that it is a particular favourite of Dreev's (who is black in the game), I doubt it is theoretically unsound.

Way better is.





I know the good bishop get exchanged, but opening the way and letting white advance the d-pawn is really dangerous.


Another sharp line is.





This is one of the wildest lines in the panov. Here, black must be ready to sac his bishop, with 0-0

If "way better" means scores approximately 3/4s of the points, then you're absolutely correct.

White has significant plus scores in both the lines you give, and about an average white score in the line I give.

I was talking for black, they are better with these lines, then others, taking, on c4 always allow the d-pawn to be pushed. and sometimes, it kill black. even if the d-pawn is isolate, it can be good, but after Nf3 and Bg4, black hope to scrap white structure completly.

Yes, I was talking about black too...

A little research shows that black scores poorly in your lines, and well in mine.

If you really think taking on c4 is losing for black, I recommend you look at some Grandmaster games in these lines.

I never saw the score, not in any lines, I could not careless about what a greatmaster, his arguement won't become better then mins, because of his title.


Like, @@ you've never been in a prison, how can you say that? @@

I really prefer these lines, they are solution to me.

I can,t say I love the english, it never stop from transposing. Into any lines with c4.
