To quote Euripides, short but sweet

Nice.  That's why I play 3. Bg4 instead of dxe4.

KB,

  Decided to put this in because I mentioned that you can get almost the same position from the Nimzovitch Reversed (or Van Geet) with White.  Usually Black will have his pawn on c5 rather than c6.  It's the same position when Black occasionally goes there.  I usually play the Panov-Botvinnik variation as White against the Caro Kann.  This is special to me because it meshes perfectly with the Van Geet Opening for White.  

I didn't know that black sometimes played dxe4 in the Two Knights variation, I'm with KillaBeez, I always play ...Bg4.

I've never been mated in 13 moves in this variation. ;-)

No, and you won't be.  What do you play for White against the Caro Kann?

dxe4 is actually all right if you play Nd7 or Nf6.  But Capablanca players, BE CAREFUL!

I usually play the Panov-Botvinnik attack.

Main line for me.  I'm brave!

KillaBeez,

   The Colle-Zuckertort certainly received a lot of attention on this forum.  It allows a player to consentrate and not worry about all the possible replies to the Queen's Gambit.  People need solutions to concentrate on winning the game instead of worrying about whether a move has left the main line or a subvariation.  "The devil is in the details".  So I'll avoid the details.
