Caro-Kann course on sale! www.chessable.com/the-caro-kann-simplified/course/171080/

Your jobava and channel have helped boost my elo 200 points in a few months. I’m now 1540. It’s nice to have an opening I feel confident and in control and not enormous theory. I’ve always played the Caro so this channel has really helped my game. Thanks

The picture-in-picture showing the alternate line in game 4 was beautiful. Bravo!

I'm 62 years old woman and I like your videos a lot and the way you express yourself : it is very refreshing and energizing. Congratulations on the content (I am a big fan of the Caro K opening). Keep up with good work. All the best from France.

You always bring a smile to my face with the goofy jokes and the way you make things look simple. I'm relatively new to chess (playing since sept. 2023) and I have learned so much since I watch your educational videos. I went from 200 elo blitz to 550 getting consistent 80-95% acc games with the Caro (64% winrate) and the Jobava (71% winrate). I'm aiming to get to a 1000 soon :D You're a good teacher and I appreciate all the effort you put in your videos, I watch them all dude :) Cheers, hope you (and the people who read this) have a wonderful day!

My son was a big fan of LEVY ROZMAN last year and this year you have become his favourite player, and instructor …❤😂

My games have improved immensely as a result of your jobava and caro kann videos. Both online and at Club level. It feels great to have a very clear game plan, for example in the pawn storm. And some games really feel like 'free ELO'. Thank you so much!

I donot want my bishop to stuck in washing machine😂😂 got me dying

the humour makes these sooo much fun i'm actually edging up me ratings in blitz when im not blundering that is 😂

Yessss exactly what I needed!! Thank you so much for sharing!!!

I was just watching all your caro and jobava videos again last week and this week and hoping you would release more!!!

Your analogies always crack me up😭😭

Can't wait for the Jobava course!

Excited for your course. Instant buy.

Banzea you are a mad, bad, dangerous to know chess ninja. That first game was mind-blowingly good. Love your content.

Fantastic content. Clear and easy to understand

Hi Alex - These Jobava/Caro-Kann combo are lit! and you never fail to make me laugh. Keet it up and thank you.

So grateful for game 1. Found myself consistently in bad positions in the Jobava even though opponent locked in their bishop. Alex made the move order so easy to understand. Thank you Alex 🙏🏼

Yo that starting position vs. stockfish tip you shared yesterday was super useful! Cheers

Hey Alex, love your videos. The recent addition of a board when you calculate ideas is awesome.

Thanks for the reminder to break with e4 in the Jobava setup. I forgot and played Nce2 instead a few times- anyway really enjoyed the new video, you’re mad funny too as usual.

I just love watching your games! Don't particularly like the Caro, but learning is learning!

Brilliant again Alex ! You crack me up with your commentary! Hilarious!, and how you stay so calm whilst your clock is in the red ? ! You’re the MAN !

20:42 loved the combo Alex. Brilliant

Outstanding content!

Now we just need something against 1. D4!

I am so glad I found Rxg3+ (after you said there's a combo in the position, but still) at 18:10 ! Tactical vision is definitely improving while watching your channel

Great video. Keep creating this style of video. Love from Iran❤

You’re the man Alex!

Great video!

Always good.

You and danya are the best chess teachers

The best chess coach. Change my mind.

14:25 “I have seen plenty…talking about chess” hilarious….

46:00 - "I have two pawns, I can win the turd" Tastes are tastes, man...

20:25 yes we liked that idea qnd we are proud of you 😂

Bro we NEED a DP highlight reel

Alex!! always love your videos❤. I think you should do a video about a new meta against the caro kann. nf3 with d3. idk how to play against it and its very annoying

youre hilarious man, love the chess too

Brother i am from india 🇮🇳 i loved to play queens gambit .Its a humble request to make 3 hour video explaining all variations and sidelines too. My current rating is 1332. Your 3 hour caro kann video is the only reason to climb 1300❤

Hi! I like your videos about caro-kann and jobava london very much. I learned a lot thanks to them. I often compare my game with what you did on your ChessMasterTouching account and where did I steer off but many times opponents do stuff that they never did in any of your games. I also had some games where I managed to play at over 90% accuracy thanks to following your guidelines besides myself being barely 1000 at blitz. I bet my opponents thought I was cheating. btw how do you like the new review?

Привет, Алекс. Я иранец. Изучающий русский язык и шахматист. Ты лучший шахматный ютубер. Благодарен 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

(Game 3), I would love very much to see a couple of games where you play the mentioned variation to 9.- Bd3, please. And thanks for the vid

It feels awesome when you have a normal looking position and Alex goes "pause the video *evil face*"

Thankyou Alex for this I've been destroying a lot of high rated players even 1800 players keep these up 🙏

best quote of the video "my course is on sale for the first time in a few months."

papa alex with new ideas in jobava

I love c Caro

Daaaawm😂

What you recommend for a another opening i should learn for black that i can play against anything

Sir please make a video on Nimzo Indian, queens Indian and bogo Indian

Hello I was wondering about information about your coaching or would you say your courses would provide an adequate amount of info that can take place of coaching sessions??

Jobava Kann!

when will the jobava london course be out?

still sad you didn't play me in the last stream :( great video though as always!

today i got the line where you triple fork the queen rook and king by taking the center pawn with queen omg it was so sexy 😩😩😩😩

What is the ETA on the jobava london course? Is it going to be on chessable??

Hi Alex, I love your Caro-Kann course ! .... Here is a question: ... at 49:57 ... can White play 10. Qg3 ? ... In the course, the White Queen is on d1 and the White Bishop is on e2 (and then f3) So after ... Bd4, the Queen cannot get to g3, and the White e-pawn or b-pawn is lost.

Ly bro

Thank you very much for your great videos! Question: Where do I find this extra board for analysis that you use at 4:28?

what if opponent plays h5 right away after f3 in jobava london?

Waiting for that Jobava course to drop with more anticipation than when I wait for my crush to text me back

Hi. When will you release the Jobava chessable course?

What do you recommend for black playing against d4?

Lmao, homie said he seen many dps. Talking bout chess, ha, suurrre, lmao 🤣😂 that ish killed me

What do you suggest for d4 opening against white?

When is that new course coming? 👀

Jobava London, Caro-Kann, and which one is the third one? Slav?

caro kann si kings gambit :)

Love ur videos but pls play caro at higher levels plz

Hi Alex, What happens when I play the Caro 1. e4 c6 2. Nc3 d5 3.exd5 This line is not covered in your Chessable course. Since obviously I will need to retake but then what to do next? Do you have a sample game?

how about same video but stronger rating target?

alex are u doing jobava course?

When to push e4 and abandon jobava setup?

I play jobava as white and french as black. Too scared to switch it up lol

More of this is more of your vast knowledge in middle game and tactics rather than opening 🌚. How do you get the ideas.

Do you sell any chess boards with signature?

Jobava London aka the d4 Italian game 😅

I thought you always castled on Queen side in Jobava ?

11:49 sac a pawn by going bishop e4?

Since you are so good at finding the right move can you help me find the move to stop beeing lonely? :o I bet studying chess would be a great start, wouldnt it?

I thing the pawn storm is really hard to convert to winning position for someone who is not able to have 90+ accuracy. I am around 1300 and my win rate when i try pawn storm is less as 20%. I realy dont like this idea at all.

I thought for sure it was going to be the King's Gambit and the Pirc. How did I miss my guess??

Do ruy lopez guide pls

50:00 is just equal after Qg3

Don't we need another opening for black against 1.d4 (like d5 -> e6)? Granted according to my own stats, I face 1.e4 70% of the time.

Nimzo larsen attack when?

“the most beautiful DP ive ever seen” 😅

18:05 What if he took your rook with king at g3? then your brilliant move wouldn't hav worked

Why not King's Indian Defense?

@alex benzea do you play fifa

I never have guys play me like this. Never

I don't have to do something stupid, but I do it anyway because its sterile and I like the taste.

teach the alekhine's defense

DP = Double Pin AlexBanzea ©️2024 😂

Sometimes i play really bad I don't know why but it is annoying 😂

".....talking about chess..." 🙂

White E4... Resign.

Everything is i play is my own no cheating

Losing in a brilliant fashion 😂
