Lately against better players I get absolutely nothing with the Panov Attack...can we please discuss this opening and the proper way to approach it from both sides?

Thank you,

You move your pieces.

Anyway White's position is fine especially since Black didn't even force White to move the light-squared bishop before taking on c4. This can be really dangerous when White starts to attack because he's basically a tempo up on normal positions.

"move your pieces" is probably too wide an endorsement, I would say get familiar with trhe IQP intricac ies.

Say 6...dxc4?! in your example is a rather poor move, which gives white a very useful tempo (see #3).

A person could spend years studying the intricacies of IQP positions and still not have them mastered.
But it's useful stuff.
