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.

I think the variations are listed in ascending order of importance.

According to 365chess, 4.Nf3 is by far the most popular choice:

Sorry, what review
Is the variation referred to part of the Panov main line?

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?

I only asked because that does include some established theory that goes into move 20-something.
