Got recommended this and as a Caro Kann-oisseur, this is a great watch. My favorite Qb6 idea is as a response to the fantasy variation right after f3 is played, where if you face the best engine move (Nc3) you can get a triangle structure with e6 and against any other move on move 4, you get e5 and if they take with the d pawn, the fun really kicks off after you play Bf5

I honestly believe this format is the most instructive way to teach/learn chess. Danya, you do a phenomenal job discussing general strategy, tactics, openings, the games in general. And having that happen during a real game against a person makes for lots of interesting ideas coming up. Much like you were inspired to play the Caro, I’m completely inspired to play and learn more chess now.! You are AWESOME!!

New thumbnail looks nice, Danya!

I love this series and am really enjoying the format and instruction. I do think it was kind of interesting how he pointed out Nc3 is not great in this situation because it blocks the c pawn from c3 or c4, but in the previous game where he played white against the Caro Kann, he never ended up playing c3 or c4, and instead ended up playing Nc3. I get it that the other game wasn't an exchange variation and the Nc3 move happened much later, I was just surprised because that part of the previous lesson stuck with me, and then here he's pointing out how Nc3 is a bad idea.

We are here for this

Thank you Danya

11:35 Which piece to take first matters here. If Bxe1 then white has Qd7, and it turns out that black has no better option but to give up a rook to prevent mate, and after the smoke clears, white ends up a piece up (25...Bxe1 26.Qd7 Rf7 27.Qxe8+ Rf8 28.Qxe6+ Rf7 29.Rxe1; importantly, with the queen on e6 and rook on e1, the knight on e2 is protected twice). Eyeing the knight on h5 with Bxe2 was critical in this position!

Thank you for playing the Caro-Kann.

Great caro game! The caro is a simple opening, but is venomous if white plays 'routinely'.

It’s a great feeling when you see the position for the first time, your first instinct is “oh just go Bd3, add extra pressure to the knight” which he didn’t think about at first and then when someone in chat suggested it, he reevaluated and thinks it’s a great move as well and ends up playing it. Love it when that happens.

White traded his dark-square bishop on f6 out of fear that after f4-f5, the bishop could be trapped by Black with ...g5 after the f5 pawn is traded. In reality, it seems it couldn't, but that's what came to my mind, and I love this kind of silly reasoning :)

@DanielNaroditskyGM

2 жыл бұрын

Basically, pseudo-activity means fake activity, it refers to moves that look like they're active and accomplish a lot, but in reality accomplish very little. In the context of the video, pushing White's kingside pawns looks active and intimidating, but in reality creates a ton of weaknesses and is easily parried by moving the bishop back.

Defence and Counter-Attack by Florian Tibor maybe?

Guy said he was attacking the queen and attacking the knight, LMAO

So it seems to me that, when Danya talks about trapping the bishop on h4, it is severely weakening to black's king. He says he doesn't think white has any way to exploit the weakness of black's king. How is he evaluating that? Just the fact that black has so many pieces around the king to defend? There're no good checks? White's pieces aren't placed very well? While I agree with and trust Danya, I'm just trying to understand the logic of why black isn't in danger. 16:07 for reference.

@alfiewright1396

2 жыл бұрын

Well in the weak King scenario you are up a Bishop so that is a lot of compensation. I guess you can play King h8 and have an open file for your rook on h7. Black has no dark squared Bishop or any easy checks on the weak diagonal. And yes lots of defensive pieces Am only 1400 so very likely i am wrong though

Does Danya not realize his microphone is clipping? Someone tell him so we don't have to hear the distortion.

Daddy danya
