You can now...check out my Caro course! www.chessable.com/the-caro-kann-simplified/course/171080/

@braveulysees Год назад

That first guy who played the hillbilly, his heart must have sank when he thought he was going to flag you with what seemed to be a fairly equal position and you had only 19 seconds left and then only of a sudden you went beast mode and checkmated him 7 seconds later 😂😂

@AlexBanzea Год назад

Lol! 🤣

@regisdaniels354 11 месяцев назад

@AlexBanzea I love your analogies...too hilarious

@kushida2363 10 месяцев назад

I was like, “it can’t be that bad…” then I got there and I was like “oh, it is that bad” 😂😂

@menace202 Год назад

You're so good at explaining plans to beginners. I think a lot of beginners struggle figuring out what to do in the middle game, but you make it easy to understand. Thank you again for the great instruction and chess content!

@earntheweekend3731 Год назад

'I've gotta speed up with this, there's no increment' *IM mode activated* 7 seconds of premoving chaos ensues. Love it mate

@dlucas2331 Год назад

Banzea you're a bloody genius. I won so many games with this stuff.

@JJ_Beats._. Год назад

Had a lot of success with the Caro lately thanks to your videos, one of my favourite openings for Black at the moment!

@wellplayed8921 Год назад

This channel is so instructive and at the same time easy and pleasant to watch. I don't have much free time at all but I've been dedicating my Sunday mornings watching your videos and trying out your suggestions and having fun with it. I want to thank you Alex for single handedly taking me to 1000 elo with the Vienna and the Caro Kann. For absolutely free. This almost feels like a robbery 🙏🙏

@sdavidleigh6642 Год назад

1350 rating and I have used Caro based on Alex idea and I can't believe how strong my positions are. Just fun. You are a great coach.

@yamix.brands Месяц назад

this is the only channel teaching the Caro-Kann in details FOR FREE on youtube !! Thank you ❤❤

@Randomsyrianfella Год назад

No joke I think this is the best caro kann video on RU-vid. Practical, to the point, instructive, and loaded with info. This channel is gold, so glad I found it

@KidNoah2012 Год назад

Alex is an IM in chess but he's a GM in making analogies :-)

@nickandrews2255 10 дней назад

I agree I really like his analogies / I find them funny hahaha hilarious even Cheers all the best looking for a new white side opening ???!!! Any suggestions? Cheers

@salemtv5808 Год назад

just finished game 2 this is insane ..thank you so much there’s no video on caro with such in depth instructions! thank you so much alex.. i have a question could you please share some tips on how to calculate..my biggest weakness by far

@salvadorsempere1701 Год назад

So proud that I find Kd2 on my first try!!!. Brings your queen faster to the attack, and not having any pawn break, the king it´s safe in the middle. Having watched a recap with Firutza game helped...

@garygranier6369 Год назад

I really enjoy playing the Caro Kann, I win a lot of games but sometimes I loose in the end games even with the advantage.

@DutchBushcraftKnives Год назад

This is yet another damn good video mate.. you made me go to 1200 in such a short time. Cheers mate! I’ve been recommending your video’s to all my chess playing mates and there is instant growth. Good luck with the channel!

Thanks a lot for the support ❤️

Sir you're like the best teach on this platform I've taken so many classes also the masterclass of honorable Garry Kasparov but still ur teaching is the best

@TheBluesmon Год назад

Love the videos Alex. I feel super confident whenever I see E4. This is only from your Caro videos. I have your London Course, but still have trouble remembering the different lines and plans in the London compared to the Caro. Can you do some more London videos please?

@doishid Год назад

I love your content, you deliver everything in a very engaging way whilst keeping it entertaining but informative and insightful. Thank you for increasing over 5k people's caro kann!

Thanks, Alex!! You're an excellent chess instructor. I'm looking forward to learning how you play the white pieces AGAINST black playing the Caro-Kann defense . 😇

@tipr8739 Год назад

I missed taking a rook with a pawn today because I was worried that the rook was lining up my king in check and I heard Alex’s voice saying “You look to counter attack opponent, buuuuttt you miss and this is why you are 700”

@DethScarred 22 дня назад

Thank you for explaining the minority attack here. I came here after you mentioned it in your course. I haven't watched the whole thing yet, but it might be nice if the course just had one move-trainer on the minority attack (maybe in the quickstarter?)

@JimFarrand Год назад

Great video. Thanks! I don't think I've heard "Wearing an imaginary suit" before (around 33min). Wondering if it's an Internet meme I missed or maybe a phrase translated Romanian that we don't have in English? The only thing I can think of is a reference to the Emperor's New Clothes, but it doesn't quite fit the context.

@TomThompson Год назад

The one thing I don't understand, is when they play the advanced and we play Nc6, why don't they ever take on cx5 as a reply? It seems they always play either c3 or Nf3. I don't get it.

@CarlosMorales-er3rj 6 месяцев назад

I have a question Before I played the expensive kann although now I play the French defense. I like solid gameplay. My question is what could I play against 1.c4 and 1.d4 without entering the Slavic or King's Indian defense? Maybe that's why I stopped practicing Caro Kann thank you.

@jimhemphill2841 Год назад

I want to know, what happens after, E4, C6, D4, D5, E5, C5, D takes the C pawn, Black is a pawn down, it looks like White can keep either the e pawn or c pawn. 😀

@MrIbidule 11 месяцев назад

Hi Alex and thanks for yours videos and your courses on Cheessable that I bought... they are so instructives. In the game 4, what do you you think after Bg5.. play Queen on b6? I think it's a good move too, don't you?

@AlexBanzea 11 месяцев назад

Isn’t that what I played?

@MrIbidule 11 месяцев назад

Oh so sorry... I didn't explain well. At the start of the game, you ask a question... if white play 5- Bg5, what do you play? Your main answer is Bg4xf3. I analyse this position and I saw that 5-....Qb6 was playable but, after reflexion, I think your move is simply better. Thanks Alex@@AlexBanzea

@atziluth5198 Год назад

At 24:44, instead of qxe3+ if qxg7, why can't we go qxb2? If qxh8, qxa1+, ke2, qxh1, qxg7, qxh2. If 0-0 to stop this, our queen is safe and we take queen on bxg7. If rb1, qxb1+, nxb1, bxg7 and we are up a rook and a knight.

@Criggeda Год назад

At 1:09:30, can't you just play Qa5 and then pick up the bishop? Since his knight cannot defend against the check AND defend the bishop anymore. Or what am I missing?

@AlexBanzea Год назад

That works yes! I forgot about it cause usually White had Nc3 to defend.

@sneakerhead4770 Год назад

@coconutchess69 11 месяцев назад

@timspeer5669 10 месяцев назад

I'm curious as to why you don't play the game first then use the game review feature for your walk-through. You often run out of time at the end and have to go super fast to keep from losing on time. I would suggest you do the game review method for your instruction aimed for newbies and lower rated players. Once you start making fast moves us simps get confused. Other than that, I really enjoy your videos!

Hopefully you see my comment. First of all love your videos :) At the last game, game 8 around 1:09:39 when bishop takes knight and he recaptures with knight why you didnt check his King with Queen to win his white bishop?

Yes, I saw that too and came to the Comments to see if anyone else had already mentioned it. Looks like a miss to me also. But hey! Even IMs make mistakes when making high-quality teaching videos. Thanks, Alex!

@andrewmays3988 Год назад

Alex was going for checkmate, the object of the game, and he was successful!!! Why take pieces when you can get a checkmate? It's called MOMENTUM !!! Once you have it and you're attacking....go for the mate!!!😇
