@@Chessfactor I like the real board also. In fact, the whole video is well done. I'm going to check your website out for sure.

Very well done video. Speaker is easy to understand and presents the reasoning behind each move very well. Really helped to understand the classical variation. Hope there are more videos on other variations as well.

Definitely. Even though English is my second language I understand them all

Thank you IM Astaneh for delivering such an instructive and concise lecture. This to me sets the gold standard for how chess video lessons should be. Cheers from Brazil!

Thanks so much for this video! It helps that you speak so clearly and calmly, keep it up!

Amazing video, I learned so much!

Thanks a lot ! It's great !

Great video

Great video I crush when I play this opening now

Outstanding. Thank you.

It is amazing how close the classical variation of caro-cann is to the scandinavian defence setup. I play them both against e4, but scandi leads to these type of lines more often, because white rarely plays this way against the caro, but very often they take very classical aproach against the scandi. The advance-theory seems to be more popular with caro-kann.

Really liked this video. I'm in the middle of such game right now.

You are the best teacher i ever seen🎉

Watching this series so I can finally break this defense as white, lol. I figure the Advance Variation might be my best bet. Thanks for the videos!

Good video 👌👌😄

Hi! I was wondering if it's possible to make a specific video about the Karpov variation, as there isn't much material about it available.

Excellent teaching video. Is there a way I could play training games with caro kann. Thank you for any suggestions

Hey there, great video once again, i just have a question about blacks light squere bishop. So we know why it is good and even better to develop it and exchange it if white will challange it, but what about fianchetto? Also in French def. is it bad idea to fianchetto this bishop if we know that it can be really passive sometimes? Thanks

The best Caro Can Video! Are pgn files available for free too?

I'm usually hesitant to play the classical line of Caro Kann because of h4 thrust, I usually play h5 but it creates too many weakness and threats, I'm going to try playing h6 from now on

Hi, I could not find the PGN you mentioned on your website (which is pretty nice!). Can you direct me where to find it? There is a PGN file but it only shows the moves yu played and not game between Magnus vs Leko is there for example. Thanks!

The pgn file doesnt have any notarions? 11:58

Awesome video, just request you to make another video on same topic but in more detail till 16-17 moves and clear the concepts accordingly as you did in this video.

@attique9992

As there are still many concepts not clear in h4-h5 and Ne5 with h5 as that are the most drastic ones, further in this same variation white plays his bishop to c4 too instead of d3 also. And please cover the attack like h4-h5 and then g4-g5 in more detail, kindly.

Glad to hear that you like the video! Thanks for your input to cover the lines you mentioned in more detail in a separate video. We will consider that for future recordings. Stay tuned!

10:57 If instead of c3-c4 black plays b3 threatening the queen it's neither exchanging pieces and also gaining space. How to dealt with it?

Please make video on any thinking method in chess

i believe the modern idea is h5 instead of h6, for more space control

first day learning the caro-kann

Do you plan on going over the other variations, like the advanced?

We will definitely upload another video on the Caro-Kann series. We were busy with filming and creating new content, also for the website. There you can already find the complete Caro-Kann series.

Do you have any games / instruction against 1/e4..c6 2/d4..d5 3/Nf3..de4. 4/Ne4..Bf5 5/Ng3..Bg6. 6/ f4... followed by Nf3 I am looking at opening lines, but not a lot on it... I got destroyed recently playing against it...

3:08 at this point the explanation is not clear,because the c6 pawn falls

Can't see those white pieces on white squares. Great analysis. Need a set with higher contrast.

@Chessfactor

For a while, we are using a wooden chess board which has a better contrast. Check out the series about Opening Gambits or the French Defense. We have already pre-recorded several videos with the green-white board and therefore some more videos with this board will be published. However, for future recordings we will stick to the wooden board. Stay tuned!

I don't understand why we shouldn't play the line with h4, h6, Nf3, Nd7. What's the difference between the pawn on e6 and the Knight on d7 lines?. at 4:39
