The move e6 offering a second pawn by black is called Iceland Gambit.

Advance variation it's the best way to combat this opening(Short variation)
@GMJoseGonzalez 8 күн бұрын
That's a valid point! The Advance Variation ( Short Variation) is indeed a strong way to counter the Caro-Kann. However, I believe the choice can also depend on personal style and skill level. Thanks for sharing your insight!
@Rares-ConstantinMihaila 5 күн бұрын
@@GMJoseGonzalez I tried too many times 2 Knights Attack against Caro-Kann players. 99% of them know the main line.I have learned that space in chess is vital.Openings like Caro-Kann and French are not played at high level just because of lacking of space.That's a little bit funny because my main weapon against 1.e4 is French Defense. Most of the super GMs are recommending this variation against this tough nut to crack called Caro-Kann. Even Stockfish agrees with this variation

Hi there, I have considered 2.Ne2 as it seems tricky but I changed my mind and rejected it, as the idea is too artificial. The knight comming to e2, blocking the bishop and needing to move again in order to continue the development, is suspicious. My experience with such unnatural ideas is bad in the long term. While the Two Knight Variation sets a number of 'good' traps based on natural development. Best wishes!

I've been playing the Philidor since 2018 and this is the first time I've found a series of tutorials to explain how to play it. I started off playing it as a way to segue into the Black Lion, but things didn't always work out so I've been gently moving away from the opening and towards the Pirc. But now I'll be happy to explore the Philidor more. I'm grateful for these videos Grandmaster Jose!

The same happened to me a hundred years ago (early 90s). I transitioned from the French to 1...e5 by playing the Lyon variation, but didn't work out, so I moved to 2...Nc6. Only much later I understood the virtues of playing the exchange variation (also known as the Antoshin variation). I hope it works out well for you. Best wishes!

Any advice on correcting a thinking flaw(maybe more a lack of thinking). Many chess games I have either a material advantage or big positional advantage but I simply ignore my opponents ideas and my position will slowly crumble or I miss his tactical shots. I have a difficult time asking myself what my opponent threatens when I’ve been in control of the game for a while. Any help is greatly appreciated. Also, us amateurs are none too good at piece harmony. I don’t think there is much written on this subject and I’d appreciate again any help you can give. Thank you kind sir.

In this video, I'm going to show you a really effective line for playing against the Sicilian defense. It's amazing how many skilled players fall for this tricky line and lost as Black. What's great about this line is that there are several ways to reach the key position, or Tabiya. I've covered various ways to get there in the video, but I might have missed some. If you know another way to reach the Tabiya, please share it with us in the comments.

Thank you for your question! While both ideas are winning, in this case, I'd rather win material than play for complete positional dominance. A couple of bad moves could spoil the advantage. In the line I suggested in the video, the main issue is extracting the queen from a8. Once you work this out with the engine, White's position is winning. It might be a matter of taste, but I've decided against 9.Bc4 long ago. Best, José
