I’ve been avidly into chess for the past 2 years and have watched probably over 1000 hours of tutorials and without listing them all let’s say I’ve exhausted the libraries of the big sub chess streamers out there. Yet, without question, your videos are by far the best, most instructive and useful out there bar none. And your dry humor and wit really adds to the fun. Here’s hoping for a future of millions of subs as you most certainly deserve it my friend.
@@benisahengaming9063 wow dude congrats. I've been playing chess for almost exactly 1 year. I started at like 250 elo and just hit 1350. Not that impressive but its so much fun to continually see improvements. Keep going and you will be amazed at how far you can go over time.
Watching Alex's clock going down to 10 seconds, talking casually, looking straight into the camera as If there was no time control and easily mate the first opponent, is such a baller way to start the video haha. Gotham got me into the caro kann, Alex made me stick to it. Thanks for the strongest content, Alex. Bless

The good reason to explain the threat in every move is because lower level players are too slow to find the threats themselves so pointing it out helps them keep up. Also it helps reinforce the idea that when you play a game of chess, ideally you are solving a tactical puzzle for both white and black every move
Dude I discovered your channel last night and can I just say what a blessing. My win rate on the caro is shocking and you are the only one that covers beginner mistakes like this. Thank you for the content
Congratulations Dan Sharp,.. you're selected among the shortlisted winners for today's giveaway kindly message me with the details above on Tèlegram to claim your reward🎉🎁🎉
Even if you don't or cannot always do it, I appreciate that you're looking for moves that might make sense for lower rated players. Even pointing out the more advanced ideas while taking the simple move is good. Thanks for the videos
Honestly watching your videos has helped me more than all other videos on chess combined. Its good that you teach through practice what players at lower levels might actually do, instead of just theory.
Just found out your channel yesterday. Amazing content and really helpful and understandable. The channel is a treasure especially for us Caro Kann players. thanks for the help 🙂

I would love to see you do some videos with higher time controls, that way you have the ability to really go in depth about the full position without having to worry about blitz timers. just a thought.
Common sense and the authentic humor is what make your instructive videos stand out from the vast amount of the chess videos out there! Thank you! Greetings from a neighbour from Serbia 😊

One more comment, I don't want to add too much to my other one. That third game is also what happens a lot. People just see a trade and the jump for it. Like that guy kept doing even though he was down material. So when it comes time don't forget to highlight when we shouldn't accept those trades or how to deal with belligerent players lol. Some of them will not take no for an answer so maybe ways to set them up to give up more than they thought (if you get one). But now that I've finished the video I'm going to go watch more of yours, you might be one of my favorites just from your calm way of teaching. I love the calm!
10 mins in, the first game looked understandable and clear , actually exquisite destruction watched all games found it very easy to understand and not boring .
imagine running from g1 to d1 so funny . in between since i started watching your content especially on the caro kann, i have been winning games even with 1900 + rapid and standard control time i won the second position in our national chess championship ahead of Budapest 2024 olympiad. looking forward to more content. your are my best for now .Thanks for everything
I love this style of content. I cant wait until we start gaining elo and you start making moves like a 1000, 1400, 1600, etc. it will be cool to see the progression of how each elo bracket thinks.

alex just stopping by to say FINALLY! it appears ur channel is getting SOME of the views it deserves! well done my friend, i hope this youtube thing is panning out well for u:)
I'm a caro kann player rated 1100 rapid 900 blitz. but I learned a lot more watching your videos. The knight rotation especially and when castled you take with the hpawn to create the box pawn structure. I usually take with the f pawn to open up the rook which was a mistake in the tartakower. You have gained a new subscriber mate! Looking forward for your tier list video for beginners

Just found your channel today and this video was very enjoyable! I’ve had trouble playing against the Caro-Kann and gained much insight. Your approach is really chilled. I subbed of course lol… looking forward to seeing your channel grow 🎉
I have to say, I didn't think watching an IM beat up on 800 rated players would be very instructive, but it is very instructive! Or you can think of it this way, come for the Caro Kann variations, stay for his very funny style and jokes!
I was just listening to this as I played chess and I played my best game yet. First, I trapped my opponents queen, then I saw the fork on C7, but, I didn't realise that it was actually checkmate because my bishop covered the two escape squares. This game also got my rapid rating to 600, it was also my 100th rapid game, first checkmate with a knight, and I think the highest accuracy game I played yet at 97.

been watching your games for awhile, but I would never have seen what you did in Game 1 lol, I would have crumbled under the pressure of the white attack I think lol :), Oh and also by the way, I know you are talking to your self but I certainly enjoy watching your videos, I need a lot more than 5 to even get close to understanding not only the openings, but moves and logic behind them :), which you explain impeccably. I know this is over a year old now, and you may have one, but I would not mind a tier list :) around 28:50
I really enjoy your videos thankyou for giving tips and tricks🙏🙏🙏I have learnt so much since I've watched your video thankyou I'm destroying players that is 1300 👍

i assume on the server they use the engine to check if the position is losing before granting the insta-win. stalling when you know the position is losing is bad sportsmanship but i guess sometimes its not obvious the position is losing and you are just using your time to find a move that doesn't lose. i wonder how the server logic handles this because there are positions which are losing but maybe its not obvious for a human what the winning continuation is.
You were funny in this video! Love the Caro khan. Something that would be instructional for myself. A lot of streamers always try to play to the level of the rating of the speed run. Therefore not playing the best move in the position but I would find it very useful seeing the best move in the position and an explanation behind it. Anyway just my two pence! Really enjoying your content. Keep it up please!

Anybody else try to figure out why Alex lost the game (by resignation) before the last game in the video? Looks like it was a white game that Alex resigned in the 4th move. Probably was looking for a black game, I guess. Anyway, love the Caro-Kann games still trying to remember what to do after 3 or 4 moves in...

thanks for all the content you make! I am around 1000 rapid so these climbs are great for me to learn! I have a suggestion regarding what move to make when you debate between an 800 move and a better move. I think you should show the better move, saying that "an 800 thinks like this so I will make this move" makes me think that we don't want to move like an 800, we want to learn the better moves or we will keep thinking like an 800, just my 2 cents.
I agree with your comment. I would also prefer if he played the better moves, but he is not saying that it's a bad move. He is showing there are often multiple good moves in a position, and he wants to play the ones that are easier to find, so it is more replicable for beginners.
It seems that as I watch your Speedruns and masterclasses, your philosophy to "chillax" and just play strong simple moves comes through more and more. Is this true or just my wishful thinking 🤔😅
Alex I think you need to cut sleep out of your daily schedule so that we can get you caro kann course sooner!! Just kidding obviously but definitely excited for your course!
really good content and awsome explanation..almost every second of your videos is informative..Great that you dont waste time in thanking to the subscribers constantly in the video

So the dark squared bishop comes out to d6 on the tartakower variation, but only comes out to e7 on the other variations?? i'm confused about where the king-side dark squared bishop should go
Congratulations 🎉 Reneday,🎖💫 You are among the shortlisted Winners for the giveaway to my Subscribers ❤️❤️ Use the Above name to Acknowledge your prize on telegram
Btw I think that a Tierlist for openings would be very entertaining content. I'm very curious to know what you think about certain openings (expecially Queen's gambit declined that I'm trying to learn to counter a strong queen's gambit player at my club)
How do you counter scholar's mate using the Caro-Kann? as pawn c6 blocks the knight making Pe6 not a strong move? Dumb question but it would help alot in my elo! Thanks!!!
Congratulations 🎉 Jan,🎖💫 You are among the shortlisted Winners for the giveaway to my Subscribers ❤️❤️ Use the Above name to Acknowledge your prize on telegram
On around 5:10 i thought that pawn to h6 defending the bishop and advancing with the pawn which is still protected and unlikely to be picked by the knight might be a good option. I’m 500 rated though, so I wanna hear your thoughts. Are there any other disadvantages aside from blocking the bishops field to go back in case its needed later in the game?
You can now...check out my Caro course! www.chessable.com/the-caro-kann-simplified/course/171080/
It is finally out 🙏🙏🙏
Wow the chessable app is so bad. I cannot search and find you or the course on it. The link works by going to the website but that app is a POS

Hi man, I’ve been into chess for a month and have managed to get to 1000 elo, where has two years of chess landed you in terms of elo?
@@benisahengaming9063 wow dude congrats. I've been playing chess for almost exactly 1 year. I started at like 250 elo and just hit 1350. Not that impressive but its so much fun to continually see improvements. Keep going and you will be amazed at how far you can go over time.
Too kind!
@@benisahengaming9063 I’m at about 1500 but it is getting tougher to improve. However, with Alex’s help I anticipate a surge coming!
Recommendations? I have not got passed 800

Great video!
I mean, playing so hard against 800 and not crushing in first 20 moves. Solid play
Learned the VERY important chess strategy that reporting for stalling leads to insta-win!
i assume on the server they use the engine to check if the position is losing before granting the insta-win. stalling when you know the position is losing is bad sportsmanship but i guess sometimes its not obvious the position is losing and you are just using your time to find a move that doesn't lose. i wonder how the server logic handles this because there are positions which are losing but maybe its not obvious for a human what the winning continuation is.
Its been 1 months playing chess my elo is 500 hope your video help me to climb the rating ladder
You were funny in this video! Love the Caro khan.
Something that would be instructional for myself. A lot of streamers always try to play to the level of the rating of the speed run. Therefore not playing the best move in the position but I would find it very useful seeing the best move in the position and an explanation behind it.

So the dark squared bishop comes out to d6 on the tartakower variation, but only comes out to e7 on the other variations?? i'm confused about where the king-side dark squared bishop should go

Btw I think that a Tierlist for openings would be very entertaining content. I'm very curious to know what you think about certain openings (expecially Queen's gambit declined that I'm trying to learn to counter a strong queen's gambit player at my club)

I’ve noticed very low rated players over commit to many pieces on one side of the board.

37:10 why do you always want to take in advanced variation? (even tho there will be no double pawn structure)
I'm just trying to learn the caro kann
Love your content any chance you do any personal coaching?
Stop hanging your Bishops. Very sound advice. Great video.
How do you counter scholar's mate using the Caro-Kann? as pawn c6 blocks the knight making Pe6 not a strong move? Dumb question but it would help alot in my elo! Thanks!!!
Guys help. I move the king pawn and move two of my knights defending that and get the bishop out to attack opponent knight
Is this called sicilian ?

Oh baby let’s gooooooo algoooooooo
When you take Caro Kann course, let me know!
31:40 did it transpose into the french defense there?
On around 5:10 i thought that pawn to h6 defending the bishop and advancing with the pawn which is still protected and unlikely to be picked by the knight might be a good option. I’m 500 rated though, so I wanna hear your thoughts. Are there any other disadvantages aside from blocking the bishops field to go back in case its needed later in the game?
