Whilst we are still discussing the ...Bf5 lines, does anyone have a link/thread/game which demonstrates the critical line(s) in the Smyslov variation ie. instead of the ...Bf5 move, ...Nd7 is played ?

Sure, my games are a great lesson in what NOT to do with the Caro. 🙂

Here's a couple. I'm only including the ones I won. If you want to look up my blunders you'll have to find them on your own. I ain't advertising'em! Oh alright, I'll throw in a loss. 🙂

Game 718721
Game 718717
Game 718713 (exchange)

Game 837526 Lost. (Tried NOT to let a higher rated player play the Panov against me)
Wib,
I don't think you're supposed to play Nd7 and then Ndf6 but rather play Ngf6. Why do you do that?

There is a whole line, called "gambit system":

1. e4 c6
2. d4 d5
3. f3

Overall, it is not very sound for White

Two examples:

in Shteiner's system:
1. e4 c6
2. c4 d5
3. ed cd
4. cd a6! With right defence Black will retake the pawn with good position

That's why on their fourth move White usually continues 4. d4 and transfers into Panov's attack.
If Black don't sacrifice the pawn and try to get it back with 4. ... Q:d5, they can encounter serious difficulties in development


in Panov's attack:

1. e4 c6
2. d4 d5
3. ed cd
4. c4 Nf6
5. Nc3 g6

Last move is usually linked with teporal pawn's sacrifice
