Johnny Owens succeeded on the other end of the Caro-Kann in his second game against
FM Joost Retera. The variation was once again the Panov-Botvinnik Attack and the middlegame began with a clash over an isolated queen pawn. But White seemed to fall steadily back after ridding himself of the weakness and eventually resigned to Black's pressure. Replay the game with analysis by Fritz after the fold.

Johnny, the two Caro-Kanns are a thing of beauty. Truly Masterful.
I'm glad I didn't see these before our recent games - JTF
