There is no doubt that you are now the best chess instructor on RU-vid and watching you play in the CK and London Speedrun's is totally awesome. You always make it look so easy. Were you really baffled by the H3 move? HA! And the fact that you can predict the other player's next move so accurately is uncanny. I am very happy I have not been part of your speedruns yet! Looking forward to move of them in the next few weeks. Thanks Alex!
Very instructive. I started playing the Caro after your first series. I have a lot to learn, but this opening really feels Rock solid. I always end up in safe positions and if i lose is because i blunder something. Plus, the structure you get makes the endgames less of a nightmare for me. With white i really can't win with the London, it's just not for me. I'm sticking to the Vienna, but I'm not very confident. Thanks for the amazing and free content and the funny commentary. I never miss a video
Awesome awesome video. Thank you a lot, Alex ! A lot of my questions were covered, and I gained a lot of useful insights too. You allow me to think straight with the Caro Kann, and I feel really grateful for that. A good day to everyone.
I love These vids, ur teachings are very enjoable. :🥰😍little Feedback: in ur Videos u always advice to make "a luft" for ur king. But the word "luft" is german and translates to "air" (i'm german actually 😅 ) So the correct way to say it would be "to make luft" or "to make some luft". 😅
Could you please tell some more about the c3 and what is wrong with it in the advance caratiin with early c5? I see it so often and know it is bad, but why exactly?
It’s equal with best play by both sides. (It’s bad because it gives black an easy game and most of the white players make a mistake and we can win a pawn usually).
I love the content, but I noticed that your videos are getting longer and longer. I much prefer them when they were around 15 minutes long and only featured 1-2 games (maybe with some analysis). If you have a big backlog to get through, it's ok to upload multiple videos per day, easier for me to track which videos I've watched and haven't watched versus watching half a video and then coming back later to watch the second half and trying to remember where I was.
@@AlexBanzea nothing personal, I find your content more educational than of hikarus, eriks (both!) and daniels, both Naroditsky and King, really. Im Just around 2000 elo but i feel im improving warching your videos, thanks a lot!
