I really don't agree that in the Advance system 1. e4 c6 2. d4 d5 3. e5 Bf5 that Nigel Short's 4. Nf3 is only the tenth most important move. It's actually the most popular.

Re: The Caro Kann : The Easy Way
I think the variations are listed in ascending order of importance.

Re: The Caro Kann : The Easy Way
According to 365chess, 4.Nf3 is by far the most popular choice:

Is the variation referred to part of the Panov main line?

Re: The Caro Kann : The Easy Way
It's a post on the ChessPub forum. It doesn't matter which line is referenced. How can any repertoire be "easy" when it contains the quote from page 129?

Re: The Caro Kann : The Easy Way
I only asked because that does include some established theory that goes into move 20-something.
