There is no doubt that you are now the best chess instructor on KZread and watching you play in the CK and London Speedrun's is totally awesome. You always make it look so easy. Were you really baffled by the H3 move? HA! And the fact that you can predict the other player's next move so accurately is uncanny. I am very happy I have not been part of your speedruns yet! Looking forward to move of them in the next few weeks. Thanks Alex!

Agree 100%. Alex is a better teacher than most GMs.

Best commentary I've found. Enough explanation to follow while keeping the pace moving. Highly under rated channel. Although, I do miss Bf5.

Love the Caro-Kann content!

Caro content😮

Awesome awesome video. Thank you a lot, Alex ! A lot of my questions were covered, and I gained a lot of useful insights too. You allow me to think straight with the Caro Kann, and I feel really grateful for that. A good day to everyone.

"We're both 1200" (Kappa)

Another wonderful longer Caro masterclass! Thank you!

Great content Alex, love the longer videos!

Yeeees

Very instructive. I started playing the Caro after your first series. I have a lot to learn, but this opening really feels Rock solid. I always end up in safe positions and if i lose is because i blunder something. Plus, the structure you get makes the endgames less of a nightmare for me. With white i really can't win with the London, it's just not for me. I'm sticking to the Vienna, but I'm not very confident. Thanks for the amazing and free content and the funny commentary. I never miss a video

I like when you trade down because seeing the endgame is instructive.

I really like these series very instructive !!!! Thank you!!!!

Thank you thank you thank you. I wanted to learn the caro in an engaging way and this is it

Thanks for your videos, really cool

Brilliant the way you teach thanks 👍

Maybe you should do little analysis after each game, loved your chess btw subbed

You seem like a great guy! Wonderful content!

This longer video was nice. Great explanations too

I love These vids, ur teachings are very enjoable. :🥰😍little Feedback: in ur Videos u always advice to make "a luft" for ur king. But the word "luft" is german and translates to "air" (i'm german actually 😅 ) So the correct way to say it would be "to make luft" or "to make some luft". 😅

you are a great master! i really like your cunning! xD

Thanks!

Oponent playing queen gambit on first game stole my heart 🤣

"Oh no my queen" gambit 😂

Caro!

Could you please tell some more about the c3 and what is wrong with it in the advance caratiin with early c5? I see it so often and know it is bad, but why exactly?

@AlexBanzea

It’s equal with best play by both sides. (It’s bad because it gives black an easy game and most of the white players make a mistake and we can win a pawn usually).

Starting my caro journey 😈

@12:23 I'm still waiting for someone to punish you with e6 😂.

Can you show two nights variation and panov stuff

They love, absolutely love playing the advance. It gets so annoying and boring to the point I don't even play the caro kann online anymore.

90% of the time, they advance. I face it, consistently, as well.

I dont understand why Qd2 does not work in game 40:45

Hello Alex, I’m just wondering what is your reply against 1. d4? Could you make a video based on it? 😆

Reversed London of course! (Slav Defense). Will upload soon!

Hey there, newbie here. had a player (white) do Qf3 on 2nd move. See how it plays out.

Took a bit of hunting to find out the word is "Carls" (Botvinnik-Carls) and it's a guy's last name. His first name is actually Carl, lol.

It's funny how he says he's gonna play the caro cann before every game

Oooh a long long video. Nice

are you ok Alex you look out of energy anyway love the content.

@AlexBanzea, at 44:13 you accidentally included a 1.d4 game in the video

I think we can reach this structure from the Caro-Kann too (exchange line) and thouhght might be a good idea to have it here.

9:09 :O

Who thought that e4 is a giant Trap ?

Mute "isda" key!!!

I love the content, but I noticed that your videos are getting longer and longer. I much prefer them when they were around 15 minutes long and only featured 1-2 games (maybe with some analysis). If you have a big backlog to get through, it's ok to upload multiple videos per day, easier for me to track which videos I've watched and haven't watched versus watching half a video and then coming back later to watch the second half and trying to remember where I was.
