@@AlexBanzea It's the best move in that position. I recently had this same game up through move 12...O-O, and the opp blundered a pawn and an Exchange around move 17. I won by move 28. Thanks for your guidance!

I won’t lie. I saw your videos as a suggested and for some reason never clicked as I thought, oh another person trying to be like Gotham, probably won’t be able to take anything from this that Gotham hasn’t gone through. Well, one night I decided I’d click a video of yours! I was so wrong, not only have I learned a lot from your videos (only been watching for a week or so now) but I 100% rather your videos :) keep up the good work!

WP! nice games! The first one was really instructional

"you can go back to sleep" 😂 you give me insomnia 😂

Incredible. Blows my mind with the knowledge you have at chess. Thank you for making these videos!

These are AMAZING! Please make a caro course

Good to know that the most brilliant chess master is also capable of spilling his coffee. Reminds us that we're all human. Like Christopher Walken said in the famous Saturday Night Live skit, "I put my pants on one leg at a time. Then I make hit records! .. More cowbell!" :)

Hahahahha with full of confidence u said : dont sleep wake up .. then after a minute u can go sleep now😂😂

Love the video. Always struggled playing the Caro. Always felt like I was always 1 tempo behind and that my attack was always just too slow. This might revitalize my attitude towards it.

Youll have 100k subs before 2023 ends for sure you make great content

The book amateurs mind by jeremy silman tells you to attack where ur pawns are pointing to so that might be why peopke make the 'mistake' in the thumbnail

I play a lot of Caro so I added this to my chess opening playlist

Alex .....when is your Caro Kann chessable course coming out?

Fantastic first game

Good stuff. I noticed a nice move, imagine that. @44:29 your opponent played f3 however that cut off all retreating squares for the g5 knight so just Nxd2 then h6 seems to win. "Seems to win."

lot of my caro kann games ended up like game 2. lot of equal exchange, but make it hard to find a win

When is the Caro course honing to be released?

Re: the Thumbnail I admit I was making this same mistake constantly as that unprotected b7 pawn looks juicy but once I bought Alex’s Caro-Kann course no more! Use that Queen supported bishop! This position happens too often!

2:10 sent me to the moon 😂😂😂

Please consider doing videos analysing the "Chess Boxing Games" great opportunity to grow your channel. Also I would love to hear someone cover the Disguised Toast come from behind win!

This is like the Caro kann games I get when I follow theory

At 16:11 Qa5 is also not so good cause you can just get kicked out with b4. Qxb4 can’t happen cause you lose everything, so you gotta move the queen, you lost a move and he just starts gaining space and that knight on b5 keeps being really annoying. Correct me if I’m wrong.

Are you allowed to tell us when/if you have a Caro Kann course coming out? Itching to get a new opening course but would totally wait if you have something coming out in the near future.

Maybe the weak piece after moving the queen on 2:50 was the knight left on c3?

Your next course on chessable alex...

42:10 MY HEARTH IS BLEEDING NOOOO 😂😂😢

"okay...opponent playing.........really really strange" @55:30 - This is exactly what I am talking about when I say most of the time I play Caro Kann I get this kind of random weirdness. "They never play what they play in your videos". Exactly what I mean...many players at 500 do not play "right" against Caro Kann and mostly do strange things like this game.....surprised to see it at this much higher level! :D

Alex I bought your caro chessable course. It really needs some middle game ideas. Like when to break with F6 pawn

@@enavantpourlaventure You are speaking specifically about the advance variation of the Caro Kann. From what I understand, white does not take on c5 because it would leave its two central pawns isolated, and even a central pawn deviated from the center to the side ( the d4 pawn moving to c5 ). It doesn't feel like a strong move. Ideally, it is better to keep strong and stable pawns in the center if possible. ( They are here to help your major pieces come to the center and apply pressure on the whole board ).

When will the caro-kann and slave chessable courses be put?

jw @34:47, if opponent plays bishop f4 it looks like you have to take with the queen, which their queen can then take b7 pawn followed up by your rook.. Is there some defense to that? I don't get why it'd be necessary for opponent to play their knight e2 before bishop f4. --- JK.. looks like you'd go queen c1 checkmate if they took your pawn..

You sound like Fez off of that 70s show.

in this video you didnt explain the Rc3 move i believe. you mentioned it was bad but forgot to go back to it

My new fav youtuber ❤ Maybe you should try 10 minutes rapid for these games or 5 + 2 sexonds?? Allows for more time to explain the ideas. Naroditsky does 15 minutes rapid now and it’s definitely not boring. He used to do 10 minutes but 15 seems to works better. I don’t even play 5 minutes online because I blunder pieces 😂 But with 10 minutes I can get a decent game of chess!!

7:42 i dont get it how black have biship takes the pawn ??

“If you’re sleeping, wake up!.” That definitely grabbed my attention :)

I often wonder if people are using an engine when I watch you play. For example, Mark3103 was finding every good move in the position and then at 20s vs 3s he got dirty flagged? I feel like that is very suspicious

We Serbs are aggressive lol

Why why why is it winning?? Explain!!

"apparently f6 is a Blunder??" smh, Ben Finegold tried to warn you bro! (edited with time stamp 7:10 )

I’m coming to the realization that as black, f6 is a blunder 97% of the time no matter when you play it.

😅ok I’m going back to sleep.

Clicked on this because I literally made the mistake in the thumbnail five freaking minutes ago. I know it’s usually a mistake, but it didn’t look like a mistake. Spoilers: it was.

If you ever get bored with chess, go be a stand up comedian. You super dry humor just cracks me up. 🤣

6:05 - Why can the knight take on d4? I didn't get it. It seems the bishop can capture the rook, but then you loose a knight and a bishop for a rook and a pawn. Not sure if that's a good trade at that point of the game. Is there other tactic I can't see?

1h it's very long

I have heard many wise Grand Masters say the words "The chess speaks for it's self", your trajectory for a GM title speaks for its self.
