Hey Alex, your videos are the most helpful i have found for my rating range. I’ve learned to let the opponent self destruct, much better than throwing loose attacks myself :) Going to start to study caro kann because of you. Thank you for the high value quality content and have a great day!
Wintergatan, I wonder if you could make the different chess moves have different notes? Maybe the Caro should be played in a minor key?? Great explanations, Alex, love watching your games!
Shocked that more people haven't subscribed to this man, his videos are the most comprehensive and not overdressed with unrelated nonsense. Just pure chess with a sense of humour. Hope he never gets disenchanted with this that would be a huge blunder.
Levy has the popularity, Alex has the content. If I want to just watch a fun chess video, I’ll watch Levy. If I’m really trying to learn/refresh my knowledge, it’s a no-brainer watching Alex. Personally I hope he never gets above 60,000 subscribers so that his lessons can pretty much stay secret to the Internet. Realistically, he should have 20M subs
It's just exposure I am quite sure if he did collaborations with the more popular channels he would get heaps of subs . It's amazing how many great channels I never knew existed until recently .
I love ur videos! I asked my dad who’s also an IM if he knew who you were and he complimented you upon watching this video. Ur a great teacher honestly.
At 7:00 in the video I saw an interesting alternative move (I swear, I didn't use an engine, although later I checked with an engine and it is good). The move is Rxe3 because the pawn is overloaded. If the pawn recaptures, there is actually a forced mate in 10. If it doesn't recapture, you are just up material.
Yes, that screamed at me too. I didn't see a mate in 10, but giving up an exchange for a pawn and a strong attack looked like a no-brainer. There was a slight worry what happens after c5. So I gave it to the fish: Re3 best move -4.89.
This is really bringing me in. It makes me want do dig up my old Smyslov's Best Games to see how he played his favorite opening. Karpov, too. But not before I see ALL your Caro-Kann stuff, because you understand the lower rated players like me, and, just as important, I can understand you. Thank you.
i love these positions in the caro because you're exerting a ton of pressure, and if your opponent trades everything down, you just have a winning pawn endgame
Noooo not an annoying voice, it's grrreat, and you're a refreshing addition to learning from the best. Yeah long video but then I eat while watching so time isn't an issue. Thanks Alex - keep it up.
I already got my first win with the Tartakower variation you explained in the first game. Got almost the same finish as you did it was really helpful totally destroyed my opponent with your tips. Very much appreciated!
That was nice. I usually try variations of pirc but I'm going to play about the next 50 games with just this to see how it goes. Thanks for all your videos. Very helpful.
Without a doubt Alex is the best teacher of the Caro - Kann opening. I really like this opening as it can be learned quite quickly and I think it is a really powerful weapon against e4 white.
Dude since I found your channel my win rate with black has gone up by 1% and it's only been a few days. I appreciate how much info you show us in your videos and how instructive you are. Keep up the good work!
7:24 Bro, an even stronger move here was rook takes e3, sacrificing the rook and if they take the rook, then the queen infiltrates and its mate in a few moves. Found the move while watching the video, plugged in stockfish and saw that it was the right move.
maybe this sounds repetitive, but I have watched several different channels from IMs, GMs, etc. and your videos are simply the best for my taste (direct, simple, easy to understand, nice tone, funny but not a clown and not theatrical either...). Keep it up and thanks for the great and funny content! Also, it's incredible how you keep calm under attack ^^ lol. One day I'll maybe get there. Cheers! :)
Having caught each and everything you've said I must comment to the contrary; your voice in not annoying at all as it's masterfully expressed with an underling Great since of Fun Hummer!! Thanks Alex ans as Always, Blessings friend from Oregon ! : ) 100%
You sold me. I'm officially gonna learn & play the karo. Been stubbornly playing the Pirc but I've seen too many of your vids now not to switch. Thank you
At 10:24 he can go Nh4. If Rxh4 then Bf3 protected by queen. If Rg4 then Bxg4 forcing Qg4 Then Qf3. You will have to escape Qe7 or Qd8. He would then be able to move kg2 opening up for rook to slide over further defending his king and adding to offensive capabilities on your king.
Thanks Alex. Normally I like to play Sicilian Defense when my opponent opens with e4. Caro Kann looks like a derivative of a Sicilian. Will try to play it. Your chess streams are very instructive like GM level. Comparable to Daniel Naroditsky which i also like a lot.
At 7:25 you missed a brutal tactic: Rxbe3. They can't recapture, since you can then just Qxg3+ which leads to a pretty quick mate. Perfect play: Mate in 10. Second best move for white after that would be Mate in 2, so it's a good trick.
Had to come back here and thank you Alex. I thought it was some low level trap like stated in the title, but just used it to milk some free ELO from 1500+ opponent. Thanks papa!
7:00. Alex, you missed it. 1.P-g3 appears to frustrate the battery. What is needed here is the disruptor move. You are looking to sac material in order to give new life to the battery. 1.----R×B displaces the guard or wins a bishop. A further hint that the disruptor sac is worth it is that the rook at e1 and the bishop at e2 form the Murphy Wall hemming in the king. Play it out. I see in the comments that I am not the only one to find this.
Game 1: I get it that the queen must stay on h3 to cut off the king's escape square. Bg2 allows escape but after qxg2/rxg2 black will be up 3 pawns and a minor piece and should prevail. Game 3: 44:00 If you take the hanging pawn on c3 does it not create a spyhole for white to invade? Staying calm when the queen is close enough to shake hands and there's a rook lined up on your king... big kudos. As players like you say, those who think they are clever are particularly annoying to those of us who really are!
I realised I wasn’t subscribed to your channel but I righted my wrong. Your channel is very underrated, you deserve like a million followers. Dont know if the people are put off by the accent but I think it is hot, people need to wake up and follow you. Cheers
More common sense instruction than some of the big guns. I am learning more of the game now. Thank you for some simple tips in action rather than a lot of gibberish tough talk. This is more informative.
In the first game after g3, Rxe3 is winning immediately, if they try to take back it’s forced mate, or if you don’t see that far ahead it’s still clearly winning after Qxg3+, Kf1, Qxh3+, Kg1, Qg3+, Kf1, Bg4 threatening mate, seems like a very simple attack and you’re hardly down material for it. Understandable to not go into it without calculating but just something I saw immediately as an option since the f pawn is overloaded after g3
Man I just started playing chess its been 3 weeks I reached 600+ elo More of the thanks goes to u and ur videos u played great role in that Keep growing ⛳🤞
Hello guys! I love this content I'm truly following this man because he knows a lot, however (it's been a while and I haven't done the video yet) in 7:22 position I was shocked that he didn't sac the rook on Rxe3 taking the dark-square bishop and if he takes with the pawn that just leads to a mate, also, if they play the best move which is c5, you just play Qd7 going for that h3 pawn they can't take your rook, but that's what most of the people will do and it might lead to a mate after Qxh3 infiltrating, ideas to take the knight on f3 by bishop on h5, even when they do the best moves, after Qxh3 it might lead into a Queen + Dark-square bishop vs two rooks (I just used the engine and it was what i got with almost +9 for black) hopefully this is instructive, don't be afraid of sacrificing the rook on e3
In the first game, when the opponent played g3, what about Rxe3 to deflect the pawn away from defending g3? Seems maybe better than what Alex played or am I missing something?
i asked my 20 year old son to play chess with me after ages. He is very good...rated around 1400....but left it at that.......i tried the hippo system (erics speed run)...but i got trashed 4-0......last game...i tried the Caro and won by the skin of my teeth...came down to his queen and almost pawn queen next move against my queen n rook.......the caro definitely works and i need to watch more of Alexs videos covering the caro.
you do not have an annoying voice bruv! I enjoy very much how passionate you are about this game, makes it very entertaining to watch even as a casual chess enjoyer.
Brilliant dude, lol 4th time i've watched this video. I Set the trap up behind a pawn on E6. I pushed the pawn and they just didn't see what was behind it. Looked at the pawn and thought that's not a threat and pushed their own pawn and bam Checkmate.
7:22 instead of going Qd7 you could’ve gone Rxd6 and later taken the pawn on g3 with check and then the h3 one with tempo. So essentially getting two pawns and a bishop for rook with a very dangerous position for white likely resulting in mate in a few moves.
Thanks for the video and the detailed explanation. It really helps me to understand ideas. However, as I was watching the game at 7:28 when you moved the queen to d7 I couldn't help but wonder isn't rock takes bishop on e3 winning on the spot? I quickly checked it with the engine and it's indeed -6.3 for black. Being stuck at 1200-1300 makes me feel, hmmm maybe I am getting somewhere slowly.
@@AlexBanzea Good,make it as good as your london please...Same format with pawn structures and move orders.Plenty of lines alex,plenty of lines please....always add the important lines later,get that theory going.
In the position at 7:10, would it be worth considering Rxe3? (exchange sacrifice) Since black queen can infiltrate and take both g and h pawns on the next turns it seems completely crushing
Hey Alex, appreciate your content so much and I have your London course which I love. Wondering if you’re making a Caro Kann course and if so when can I expect it? I only play the London the Caro and the reverse London all because of you. You’re the best man keep it up.
Yeah me too lol .. the moment he played g3 I wanted to sacrifice the rook and win 2 pawns and open the king up, I searched up for his account and analysed the game and the sacrifice was top engine move. But I understand him , he is playing against noobs so no need to do fancy stuff
Same, but currently I'm stuck at 800 and I think that's the point where you should know something and the fundamentals knowledge is not really enough to oversmart your opponents somehow
@@zach3541 I think we just reached our actual level of chess, so opponents are equally skilled which means that our chances to win/lose are equal. At this point I think we should start working a little bit harder and besides just playing meaningless games, focus more on theory probably, I'm not sure about that tho lol

I like your channel quite a bit, it's like a perfect mix of the calmness of rosen, wit of levy, and strategic ideas of agat
at 10:51 you can take a pawn on d4 and than if opponent takes a roock you will just mate with bishob to h2. and tanks this video helped me much :)
i see no mate, the bishop is still guarding the h1 so queen can't go there to deliver checkmate...
@@renzandrewg.deguzman9666he said bh2
But still there’s no mate
Been watching your vids, I must say it's very instructive theoretically and helps with my games. Keeping it simple and easy
