Nice, very educational. The endgame in Game 2 was interesting. It reminded me of Naroditsky’s endgame video about knights. The main idea I took from it was that knights are poor at handling edge pawns and that we should swap the labor: the king handles the side pawn and the knight focuses on the other part of the board.
My wife asked me what I want for Christmas. I said I want a capybara. She wasn't thrilled with that idea despite their cuteness. My second choice was an Alex Banzea Chessable course. She said YES!! Now the conundrum ... Caro or London, London or Caro, decisions, decisions 🙂 Have a Merry Christmas Alex.
Definitely Caro so then you can get the jobava course when it comes out in the next few months. If not that just get a new wife so you can get Capybara
_"..the tricky part is not finding a move, but knowing what to focus on.."_ Well, mainly that's what i've been learning on this channel. You're a great coach, Sir
The fun of watching this brilliant guy move his moves is way different, for me anyway, than using these openings in my own games which don't quite work out the same way. Better to just watch him🤣😎
Nice to know your course will have a chapter on the French. Many French players use the order 1.d4 e6 2.Nc3 d5 3.Bf4 Bb4!? Also important (imo) is to deal with the Pirc and Modern, when black plays the moves d6, g6, Bg7 in some order...
@@AlexBanzea Thank you Alex, you are by far the BEST CHESS TEACHER out there. You are young, talented, funny, wise. You deserve the "Grand Master" title because you teach chess. You dedicate your time in teaching, even during a match! Amazing! I have returned to the Caro-Kann after some many years thanks to ONLY you. You are the BEST. Keep it up. 🙂👍
Hey Alex! I recently bought your Caro Kan course, and I'm LOVING it! How far out is the Jobava course? I can't wait! Are there any plans for a Queen's Gambit course for Black? I found the video you made recently very interesting, and I would love to get some more videos on that subject. Let me know! Regardless, you're awesome!
I just finished the video and I did join the wait list. I’m really interested in your way to play Jobava and I might be a Jobava player in the future! Thanks again
Hi Alex, as your jobava course wont be on chessable could you make it possible so its very easy to download the course from your website and import it into chessable please? I just like to have my review all in the same place :) Also how many variations do you think your course will have and roughly what average Depth will it be?
It will have two repertoires (mini repertoire of less than 100 trainables below 2000 elo + high elo). It’s not only an opening course tho, lots of exercises and model games coming with it.
On 20,30 didn't Nb4 win our precious light square bishop and thus ease off the pressure?? On the other hand we might be able to hang onto the pawn then
it's possible for black, but it doesn't solve the problem with their light squared bishop. The game becomes a bit more positional and it most likely goes into a scenario with good knight against bad french bishop. I actually have that coming in the next videos!

Nothing better than rewatching Alex's old videos and a notification pops up for a new video.
I know a better thing.
*bishop enters the chat*
This is so right ❤
Our beloved Alex "Jose Raul Capybara" Banzea returns
nothing better than another JOBAVA VIDEO!!!
LETS KEEP THIS JOBAVA TRAIN RUNNING!!

My favourite Chess RUclipsr fr
Capibara was requested, capibara saves the algorithm. Cannot wait the release of the Jobava
Hi, really liked the 2nd board for deep lines. Really help to visualize
I was supposed to eat lunch… but… Jobava
Perfect starting game. I was looking for videos of playing against the semi slav, and couldn't find much, but here it is!
"wins effortlessly" also expends 5 minutes calculating a move in the first game, keep up the good work Alex, love your videos
we play rapid chess, gotta use that time for something...if using it for the final touch ONLY isn't effortless I don't know what it is :P
Fantastic and instructive games! Thanks!
The way Alex destroys a 2300 casually explaining the moves always amazes me
He is back at it again with the jobaba london. Love your videos man.
Loving the added board walking through your thought process😂
A big YES from the French Rep Alex!!! Thx a lot for all your content ^^
Hey man just wanted to say I appreciate all your uploads
The only online RUclipsr chess coach I need !
Epic endgame, very instructive!

Thanks Alex
Fun and helpful videos
That -- was awesome, and fun.
Thank you Alex for making me a better chess player. I really like your style.
I was going to have lunch, thinking this wasn't going to be uploaded today, I will have a very happy meal now
Alex, can you show a video about the Grünfeld Defense?

I really love your style of openings inspire me to play more chess
Great content !!
Again best content ever especially game two with the two times triangulation method
Thanks for bringing back the analogies and listened to my concerns 😂
This is the best chess content ❤ Jobava time
most instructive opening playlist
8:28. Black's knight is chain doged to the h7 square. So can you kick the dog? 1.P-g4 , 2.P-g5.
As always great Capybara London games!
11:40 its very simple 1.bh7 kh8 2,bf5 kg8 3.ne4 1 0
Im new to this but how is this not cheating? @7:46 he calculates using another board…
That board was added later with editing 😂
15:38 When you have a knight on king-5, you can sleep on both ears. -- Sammy Reshevsky
Have you ever looked into positions instead of the pawn storm going Nf3 to Ne5 and g4 eventually? I’d love to hear your thoughts on that.

Also, I just got to the end of the video and saw your Jobava update, so ignore that question 😅
Let me guess, the JobLo. It's the JobLo isn't it!
2nd game holly… that’s why chess is beautiful
YES! Finals in university and Banzea dropping this for my study guide. EASY A
When’s the jobava London course coming out?
If you’re gonna make a repertoire against French defense, I hope you choose Tarrasch variation 🙏🏼
I don’t know how to explain, but we already have Nc3 thanks to the Jobava thing 😂🙈
@ oh! Unfortunately I’m not a Jobava player. But that’s fair! Thanks for responding anyway, Alex ❤️
I just finished the video and I did join the wait list. I’m really interested in your way to play Jobava and I might be a Jobava player in the future! Thanks again
@ thank you thank you!
Thanks!
1820 on lichess because of you. Thank you man!
55:20 pawn storm is 😈oh man
What about some vienna games? Come Alex, please show the vienna some love with higher rated oponents
I got paired (as black) against a 2100 FIDE rated player yesterday and lost after a gruelling 3 hour match.
Today will try the Joemama opening 😃
Good video, Capybara
you really almost put the capybara on that last guy
Game 2 is crazy
If in the first game the rooks had been connected, then after Black played Qxd4, white plays Re4 and wins via a forced mate
Like the video . hell with the logarithm.. Alex like it !! ... that and Coca -cola 😅
The weekend starts!
Jobava london 🔥 high accuracy
just went up 1000 elo watching this
Tf
I stuck in 1200 for years 😂 middle game is my problem

haircut goes hard OG
won 200 elo rapid in the last month playing jobava and Karo, can you do more Dutch defense ?
#1 Capybara on youtube
Just watching your vedio which I had downloaded , on caro-can now I should study for white .
Why is the rook frozen at 10:00?
Appreciate you! Caught this early so I'm commenting FTA
52:25 😂you took too faaast! A blunder is a bit slower!!!
What is capibara ?
Thanks for the free extra 100 elo from your caro course 👍🤝🔥
Can you give us an ETA on that Jobava course bro?
watch till the end bro! (4-5 months) but I explained a bit more
@@AlexBanzea haha alright, I am still watching the video so I didn't know. I will be looking forward to it!
(kind of hoping it was something other than a JL, oh well) ;) (and you have to put your brilliant underpromotion game into a vid!)
Capybara for real
Fucking great capibara 😂😂
Alex “with that being said, we can move on to the…” me Alex ”…following game”. Also capybara.
