Robert Ris: "This time I'll take a look at a game I played myself in the NRW Oberliga, in which the Panov Variation of the Caro-Kann was used. After a few inaccuracies by my opponent, I got out of the opening in a very comfortable position with the white pieces, but then lost control in the middlegame. The ensuing positions, with the material imbalance of a queen against two rooks, were incredibly interesting and offered both of us the chance to play for a win."

Exercise: Black to play - how to evaluate this position?
