Man you're not just the one who's helping me the most in chess, but also the most charismatic person in this community. Very refreshing, I like your style a lot!

just wanted to say that your caro kann and vienna videos are absolutely amazing. Your breakdowns on the moves are brilliant for new players like me.

Please also mix in slav videos that try to transpose to Caro 😂. I like Caro so much I try to get transpositions to it from the slav defense to D4

I’m a hard core fan and have watched and studied every Caro Kann video on this channel multiple times but may I say this is the best summary instructional lesson so far. And the humor and wit just escalates Alex you are too funny mate. Love your stuff.

I have 20 years experience as an elementary teacher. I can identify a great teacher when I see one. You are a natural born gifted teacher Alex.

I’m just gonna sit down and enjoy the 49 minutes of education. Thank you for another video!

You make this game look SO easy! I don't think you give yourself enough credit Alex. I think you could beat Gotham chess with you eyes closed your so good. I also want to thank you for everything you have taught me .

Thank you for another great video! I love your comments ".. and you see a stranger in your house!", " ... the rook as a bouncer in a club", etc. Like also the drum music, or other thing you do to make this video more fun to watch!

It's the mixture of incredible analysis with the awkward analogys that brings me here lol. Great content!

Some of the best chess content on KZread hands down. Keep making live play throughs it’s very helpful and entertaining 👍🏻

Really enjoy your content man! Had decided to learn caro and vienna before I even found your stuff, felt like hitting the jackpot finding your channel. Thank you for helping me learn and enjoy this game. Appreciate you!

A good beginner video you can analyze is the Magnus vs Bill Gates chess match. Gates did everything theoretically right (develop minor pieces, castle, control center) yet still lost in less than 1 min.

Absolutely love every video, lots of useful tips and info, easily understandable for all levels. You really deserve way more recognition!

Just discovered your channel, your videos are so much more informative then other content creators. Also your jokes are sending me sometimes. Not only does it make your videos fun to watch but it helps me remember the stuff you're talking about! great stuff

These videos are pure gold! Thank you! I'm amazed at how you can explain your idea behind each move. I'm working hard trying to be able to do that.

Superb instruction. Thank you for explanation and the upload

one of the best instructive videos ive seen!

Awww yes thank you! And the new editing looks super clean 🤩

Thanks for another great video! Love the rim shots!

Doing great job,easy to follow

Amazing video, enjoyed it much, thanks.

Really looking forward to the Caro chessable course! Your london course is incredible

i love all the videos on the caro kann and vienna, thank you very much

thank you love yours explanation, keep the videos, its great!

Thank you Alex! For the lecture and dry humour😊

Great stuff. I recently purchased Alex's London course on Chessable, and now even my cactus can handle the Chigorin defense to the London.)

Alex, great getting simple instruction that is easy to grasp. Watching some of the elite channels (you know who they are) I never get the feeling I could learn to play as well. Thanks for the black opening that looks simple yet, practical so I can spend more time on the middle game. I have been using London for white but avoiding more challenges with black and this looks like a good place to start. Thanks again.

You have helped me improve my game. I'm new to improving beyond basics and your videos have helped me get over the 600 rating online. I'm a subscriber now and I'll be sure to like every video I watch! Thank you for the great content!

Awesome content and hilarious commentary.. thank you Alex!

nice video, y helped me understand a lot as a new player

Grazie, Alex. Sei bravo 😺

By far the best chess channel on KZread. Would love to see more Vienna!

Love your videos mate! I’ve now started playing CK thanks to your channel 🎉

Your way of explaining the thought process is exceptional, thank you

I hear what you're saying about checkmates, I've been playing almost 3 yrs now but struggled to stay above 1000 till about 7 months ago when I found the Habits series, my rating started shooting up the day I stopped caring about winning and just kicked back waiting for my opponent to blunder or teach me something

Thank you so much for this

I am so hyped for the chessable caro course :D i dont want to wait any longer

Love your channel, best content and love your instructive and entertaining commentary.

I love your humor. This was an extremely helpful video also - as I love the Caro but forgetting the importance of sliding the room over to C3.

I used to play Caro-Kann when I started my adventure with chess but I have stopped mostly because of exchange the w bishop for a knight in many lines… your vids made me want to play it again. I would love to see your speed run with the Vienna and CK. great stuff m8.

Natural chess teacher, really enjoying your lessons

Love your commentary and great videos. And I understand your jokes! Please keep them coming. Just subscribed.

thank you alex

you make learning chess funny asf bro 😭😭😂😂😂😂 and you a league player so i get your sense of humor

I love watching your videos while high they are very funny and I am slowly getting better good stuff man

I laughed so hard at the naked girl analogy. Mostly because I'm guilty of that. Thanks for your videos!

Thank's a lot IM Alex ! Good content

Keep up the content brother I have learnt a lot from you

Love ur humor and ur gameplay please keep uploading these vids

Excellent substantive content with the usual dose of witty and entertaining commentary. The only channel most players really need to be subscribed to until they have progressed well beyond average understanding of the game.

Alex, thanks for all the great content, I love your way of delivering very cool concepts and ideas along with some funny jokes. One tiny feedback though for your own reflection is that sometimes your tone can come across a little condescending for beginners or people that aren't able to see certain dangers as quickly as you, specially when the opponent makes mistakes as most of us do. Other than that, keep up the amazing content! 🎉

I hit em with that Caro - kann Hillbilly defense ....love watching your videos youngblood!

You're absolutely the besss. thanks man

i uswear to god.. one of the best chess content creators on youtube.. brother i dont know how you can keep telling stories the entire time! That being said i learned a lto from this .. thsi opening is awesome!

Thanks man! I’m a rookie at chess and I was struggling a lot with black pieces, started to follow your advice playing the Karokan and now I’m very excited to play with black pieces, btw I’m currently playing Jobava London with white, bro you really help me a lot and thank you for that. And yes I really enjoy your videos keep it up 👍

Thank you

Good video thank you

The ba-dum-tiss track is much needed, love it😂

Loving all your work. Thanks! Can you do a video about refuting the hillbilly!

5:38 great analogy 😭

You have single-handedly made me fall in love with the Caro. Two lines I have been intrigued by though, the immediate Qb6 vs the Fantasy and g6 vs the Advance. Don’t know if these are video fodder?? Keep up the awesome work.

I learn so much! Like the discoveries….

Alex is the shit the best teacher and he is cheeky to hahaha 😂😂😂 love it buddy

Just amazing. You are a great gran master teacher of chess. So simple. Thank very much. Im starting to learn this beautiful game. You are the best.

Pretty solid beginner chess player. Just had a tough time getting direction. The info on Caro Kahn itself is great. But the attitude of “don’t spend the game trying to get check mate” has really gotten me out of beginner level dumpster. Has given me a solid base to play more and have it be more fun, less stupid mistakes. Thank you very much.

05:37 "it's like you've seen first naked girl in your life" hilarious 😂

Entertaining and very helpful Alex. Will you be adding to your Slav vs 1.d4 content? I am more often facing Queen pawn openings.

Subscribed!

I enjoy alex's videos the most out of any chess player. He is a great teacher and makes watching the games fun. Thanks for all the great content.

Yea this channel should be at lease a few 100k subs. My favorite chess channel

Wow bro i fell like i have learned a lot thanks man w ❤️❤️

Now, this friday just became a good day. Caro kann AND Alex wonderful accent, im all set now.

for u i play caro kann and i love it bro, pls more videos about the vienna game

"you see the first naked lady in your life and you dont know what to do" Alex talking about attacking the Queen lmaooo

The Caro Kann is excellent... But the randomness in the 400 elo range makes it challenging to play... At least for me. I'm 44 and just started playing last August having never played before... The more I play it and the more I understand it, the more enjoyable it is.

Very instructive, you'll be a youtube chess star soon, mark my words!

I love the analogies 😂👊🔥

Thank you Alex for sharing your knowledge with us, excellent opening,i have a lot of improvement with the Caro Kann and the way of your thoughts!!!is there anything similarar for the white pieces?What about Saragossa opening?

It's so funny that Alex makes jokes and discusses each move to the furthest extent leaving him with 6 minutes less than his opponent and he wins anyways

love those real life examples

Yesss more Caro

Hahahaha the naked woman comparison you’re great dude 😂🙏🏼 thx voor the lesson

Love you Alex your definitely the best chess KZreadr around

Your analogy game is spot on! Get that stranger out of the house! 😂

First of all I want to thank you for your great videos. Super educational. And your absolutely funny comments always make me laugh. Best regards. roli from switzerland

"you see the first naked girl in your life and you dont know what to do" HAHAHA

The editing is getting real nice

After watching your videos and gotham's videos on the caro-kann I've become a committed caro-kann player. The Caro is a great opening and avoids theory heavy openings like the Ruy Lopez, King's Gambit, Italian and Scotch openings.

I love playing the Czech pirc opening with black. I know you’re not a great fan of it but I have a lot of succes with it and like to play it.

Okay, call out on the second game. It’s a blitz game, Alex is live streaming at the same time, clock is running low, opponent is generating some serious threats, and Alex still wins with 87.7% accuracy. Insane.

I do love your accent plus you are pretty funny guy. Chess tips also ok. Keep it up!!

This video for Queens Gambit would be a dream come true to me.

very good

Your videos are so good

Awsome content as always. BTW is your next course going to be just the Caro-Kann? I woud love to have a complete repertoire including the slav

best chess youtuber imo, love to see ur stuff and i'm learning very much. (PS: try to use some different picture from you in the thumbnail bro, i know u are handsome but do some new pics)

To be honest, I'm gravitating more to openings like the Rousseau Gambit or the Stafford Gambit. I like taking the opponent out of his prepared opening lines and attacking, looking for sacrifices. Yeah, I might not get as many wins but I enjoy it more.

Could you please make a video about middle games and how to find ideas, it's something i struggle with the most even as a 1600 rapid player
