How can you score a win in a Caro-Kann Defense against
a FIDE Master whose Chess.com nickname is CaroKann?
Johnny Owens shows how in his game against
FM Joost Retera in a
thematic tournament featuring the Panov-Botvinnik Attack. This game seems to mark a good time to salute the players
Horatio Caro,
Marcus Kann,
Vasiliy Panov, and
Mikhail Botvinnik. See how it was done with analysis after the fold.
(Thanks to Jerry for the new post title.)
