Caro-Kann Exchange Variation[edit]
This almost always leads to the Panov-Botvinnik Attack after c4, unless white plays 4.Bd3. Note that 4.Nc3?! would be a poor move due to the fact that the knight doesn't do much. e4 is poison, while e6 will turn d5 into a rock. Therefore, c4 followed by Nc3 in far better since then, there would be pressure on d5.
