Yes he makes each move crystal clear

I like your quick pace that then covers LOTS of ground, instead of deep on a few lines and all the rest unaddressed. I will study multiple times because I play the Caro alot.

He probably made this video because he won with the Tartakower just recently

I thank you, good sir, for uploading a video teaching the caro kann and variations against each response.

I would just like to thank you for making this video . All the time and effort . Really appreciated. I think it’s brilliant. Easy to learn this way with the graphics there with all the different names to see all the time . Really good. Thoughtful idea . Definitely a talented teacher . I’ve seen the kings gambit also and was the first opening I ever learned and I am still learning it but your video has helped me to plug the holes so to speak and again the graphics on the side are amazingly helpful to do this . So Thankyou for your time and effort. Your a clever guy . ( Englishman York )

You're such an underrated dude . Honestly you explained the defence very well and add lot of lines . Thank u bro 👏👏

Love this guide, I keep coming back to review lines

Thank you very much for the complete Caro kann guide.

These videos are off the charts excellent!!! ❤❤❤❤❤

what a great video, fantastic. Thank you. I did subscribe Look forward to all your videos. Again thank you You way of explaining, over the top. Great.

You're my new favorite chess KZreadr guides. I love your Vienna video it made me play that

Bro after a long time, good to have you back

It would be cool if you made a French defense video because it’s quite similar to the caro! Anyways this video is freaking amazing, basically a free Caro-Kann repertoire!!! Added a new tool to my arsenal! Thanks a lot bud, really appreciate the quality and effort!

The Caro-Kann has a more active white bishop compared to the French defense, with that you lock in your white bishop, and you get similar positions with the slav defense as with the French and always the weak white bishop tends to be the problem.

Another line against the Two Knights, if you play the Tartakover against the main line, is 1.e4 c6 2.Nf3 d5 3.Nc3 de 4.Ne4 Nf6. It is good to have backup/alternative lines when you are in a tournament.

thanks for this video. i want to learn caro-kann and you explained many variations.

There's also a different brilliant idea in the tartakower, where you can play bc7 then qd6, and if they have played g3 and h3, then you can play rook takes bishop on e3 and the f pawn is overloaded protecting the g pawn and bishop

Thank you bro well today is my tournament I learn the caro kann from your video

Great video! Thank you.

At 37:05 instead of 8. Bc4 a series of 'must know moves' seems to occur after 8. e5 Ng4 9. e6 Bxe6 10. Bc4 Bxc4 11. Qxg4 Na6.

wonderful presetation.. kudos

Almost at 100k views, congrats!

Thank you for sharing this great defense, I see that at some point becomes the French defense.

I have won twice with Black recently against the Hillbilly Gambit. Wikipedia says it tends to be played by people unfamiliar with the Caro-Kann, and I agree.

Thank you so much. I also really like your line in the exchange and advance (when they take on c5). However, what should i do in the exchange when they push h3.

Good information!

Superb Caro-Kann vid!

Watched every line. Will mix up moves and move order 👍

thank you

very gooooooood

I had the Rasa-Studier Gambit listed as being called the Blackmore Deemer Gambit. When did that get renamed and why? also recently found White play Bc4 in exactly the same spot called the "von Hennig Gambit" (recently played against this wierd one)

Best chess teacher ever.

It’s scary for black to play F6 because it weakens the E6 pawn. If E6 falls black’s game is lost. Maybe it’s the best engine move but engines don’t get flustered.

35:47 isn’t there bg4 instead of long castles?

The most OP formation in chess comes out of the Tartakower Caro-Kann. The P A W N C U B E

As white i strongly suggest after 1) e4-c6 2) c4 . Best option for white is the accelerated panov attack. As Karpov often played.

@@casualgambit674 nope. Castling is legal since the king is NOT going over the square. Check the rules if you still have doubts

3...Bf5 is far and away the move to consider as the main line in the advance. Certainly c5 is a great option but I wouldn't present this as the main line.

While I wouldn't say it is unbreakable, I often win with the Caro-Kann when playing Black.

I'm tired of Playing French defence and wanted a new opening for black .. guess carokann is a good option

Imo, the best defence is offence in an open game - 1…c5. 1…c6 invites to a closed game that goes on and on. Just my take after 20+ or so years playing the sicilian.

I'm a trash 900 elo player, but help me understand this. @ 7:18 you play Knight to E7. Why not just play Queen to A5 to check the king and take their free Bishop?

Long-castles is a perfectly legal move there, the bishop controlling the B8 and C7 does not stop long-castling.

In the 2knights part: "We will then go c5 defend our Center develop our knight and castle safely" Lmao yeah very safe king black. Definitely white would not play g4 f4 f5 and storm black. (Yes engine users that position is still minus but short castle is definitely not the plan. The king most of the time stays in the center) Also this is actually exactly why the Nf6 moveorder is considered slightly inaccurate (e4 c6 Nc3 d5 Nf3 Bg4 h3 Bxf3 Qxf3 Nf6 (e6 is the quote unquote Best moveorder) The knight generally develops to e7 in these structures and black relies on quick play in the queenside. For example e6 d3 Nd7 Bd2 d4 Ne2 Qb6 O-O-O a5 where blacks plan rely on a4 a3, trading the dark squared bishop with Bb4 and Nc5.

It's more so gathering ideas. The exact moves don't matter as much as the corresponding plan, and just playing games is the best way to do that, along with looking at the theory.

I think you made a mistake in 37.43, where you long castle but logically you can’t and that’s illegal.

I just learned chess and became intermediate player in 2~ months learning it on and off and this is best speed for me as I have already learned this opening! , so I suggest you too learn the opening and play it a lot, and then come for this video to correct your mistakes. English isn't even my 5th best language but I still started to understand him after sometime cause I got used to his voice, dont worry you can do it too! BUT you are right he could speak a bit slow at around 0.25x speed slower at least so everyone can understand it more clearly. If not, then you can follow my experience and hope it helps ❤
