This is genuinely more helpful than any other resource I've seen on the Caro Kann, especially for the advance variation. As a Caro Kann player too, holy crap, Danya is giving us gold for free
There's a few variations on caro I've been getting used to but this video seemed almost made specifically for me with a couple of key moves where I was going wrong. I never thought to check for bishop being blocked so I could put the knight on the rim
Yeah I knew the very basics but this helped me understand the plans and themes a lot better. I’m not high enough rated to be memorizing every variation but this I think will help me a lot
@@Krapvag Yeah! I'm a Caro Kann main and that was the biggest takeaway for me as well. Usually can't put the knight there without destroying my pawn structure but that F4 pawn is blocking white's dark bishop
@@MrYounis26 I really don't think the habits series by Aman quite works as an educational tool. It's an interesting approach but I feel like they need to iterate on it some more
Danya(Naro) is the ONLY chess grandmaster worth the sub in Twitch prime, and its not because he teach anything better than free members, but worth because is the only way i can thank him in a way. He does all this for free, and out there are courses with half the info and attention, that costs an absurd amount of money. If you read this. Thank you! i admire u
He does it for "free" but you realise he is creating content for his stream and youtube this way and makes tens of thousands every month? Also literally having sponsor text on the screen. I appreciate the lessons greatly, but its stupid to say that he does it for free.
@@macheteexport2749 You don't understand his point, what he means by free is not that he doesn't gain anything from this, what he means is that he could easily expect people to pay for this content but he doesn't
@@macheteexport2749he does do it for free, do you have to pay for it? i don't see anything wrong with him teaching people for free and making miney from it
I generally dont comment.But man,just the way you stop at right time to explaina and show us the positional tactic,connecting concepts to games played by GM.Just shown me some different ways to think during a game.Nothing but Thank You!
Quite possibly the most well thought out and clear chess teacher on RU-vid. I have ADHD and often times it’s hard to concentrate on openings videos for long; he makes it like nothing.
I'm 1900 on lichess, and these lessons are too good for my current level. Very instructive and well made explanations. Thank you GM Naro! New subscriber here.
I have a dream... That one day, I will type c5 in twitch chat instead of screaming at my screen on youtube. Jokes aside you're the only streamer who views has chat as students, and that's why this gold exists today. Great stuff!
I learned how to play Chess by playing the Naroditsky-Bot(Rated 2650+) on Chess over the last few months, and obviously lost every single game, but it's been a fantastic education! Thanks Mr Naroditsky, I can now put a voice to the bot lol
Amazing content. Probably my favorite, tbh. I'm nowhere near the level of skill where I could fully appreciate the years of experience going into this video and I got more than I bargained for. Thanks Daniel.
ive notice how all my RU-vid lessons on chess slowly became all from Daniel. Between how good he is, how he speaks in a clean manor and talks about his process, I sometimes don't know how I haven't spent 300 bucks on this. So at least hit the like button lol
Super rarely comment on any channel. But Danya , my man! I been watching a lot of your videos lately and man i have learned so much! For that, i thank you a lot. Levy and Eric are good teachers but you are an epic top tier teacher! Definitely will be my only subscription on Twitch ! Great content! Keep it up!
Ive been trying to learn the caro kann through different videos and articles i can find and this was by far the most helpful and informative video I’ve found
honestly, this is the best lesson on caro kann advance or caro in general i have seen ever . it helps me so much with these mistakes i had been making in the advance variation 😁
I can find any opening I want to learn about on Danya's channel with a comprehensive in game analysis... truly can't begin to express how grateful I am for this content
I like that he apologizes for ranting when his ranting is the exact information I've been looking for about my opening and that has been lacking in most of the chess tutorials I've watched. It's great when you get a teacher like this who doesn't just act like everything is obvious but who shows things so clearly that it becomes obvious.
Some day I will learn how to use Twitch and do the sub thing. But I thoroughly enjoy your videos on RU-vid. A million thanks for your content. Very sound analysis of all positions.
Brilliant work with the pawn structure with the French and caro kann. Explanations like that make a brand new 1000 elo rated player understand chess better :)
Thanks Danya! Your lessons are great and very instructive, especially for advanced chess level. You really helped me to organize my plan when I play with the black pieces! Keep making videos
Just subscribed after watching. Hikaru made the suggestion in one of his streams that I should be watching your content. This was a very helpful video. Learned a lot.
This video was really good, I’m not sure I’m ready for this one but the idea that the knight is somewhat happy on the rim I think we be really helpful. It can be tough to know when to stray away from the “rules”.
So instructive. I have been watching these videos periodically over the past few weeks during my study-break times. I played a game yesterday and I was playing so much better. I was versing a guy 90 points above me and I just felt like I mopped the floor with him. Danya has a way of explaining the rationale behind chess so well and I find him a very enjoyable teacher.
I really like your professorial approach and the flaming horse logo. I am learning a lot about looking deeper into a position and not necessarily always following the conventional "wisdom." Thank you!
@@tjitsekoster9379 a6 is generally a nice move to prevent any pieces on b5, also Nd7 can be helpful with defense. Sometimes you need to make sure to castle early. Don’t be scared to play b6 if b7 pawn is attacked as it helps build for c5 even more. It’s good to castle generally before going for c5 but take this as advice dependent on situation, not an absolute rule
Yo this is just beautiful. I have watched Hikaru, Magnus, Chess Bruhhhhhh, Eric Rosen, Gotham chess, Finegold content but non of them are as insightful and helpful as you are. I’ve been looking for this cause my buddy is kicking my ass with caro kann and I’m lookin for some good explanations and your content is just amazing. Thanks man for this. Love from Poland ❤❤❤
Subscribed :) I have to say really nice explanation of the opening. I did not have the time to check but Videos where you show the different lines in more Detail would be great
Bro. you’re famous so you’re probably not gonna see this comment but i just wanna say these videos are immensely helpful and you’re amazing at explaining each and every move in a very logical and concise manner that allows me(a beginner) to truly understand the nuances in the game and develop a greater understanding of it👌🙏 thanks bro
Love the Caro Kann but always thought Nh6 would run into a spontanious tall variation actually trapping the bishop but watching this helped alot as always
Wow, this guy really is the best at explaining what's going in Chess, other streamers like Aman and the chess nerd try, but they mostly end up just making moves and not explaining why, especially the nerd. theres a video of 400-2300 with EVERY MOVE EXPLAINED, the first 10 minutes basically just moving pieces and not talking lol
