What are your thoughts on this line against the Caro Kann? I’m looking for something a little more aggressive and pressing than what I’ve been playing. Do any of you e4 players like the Panov?

The Panov Attack is not a game a CK player normally  wants especially if you are the stronger tactical player.

I enjoy it for the open game, low theory and works well in faster time controls.

The one downside is learning how to play with an isolated queen pawn.

FWIW, I like the Panov and like the IQP positions.
