By the 7:00 mark, there are at least 5 highly questionable or debatable assertions. The first game is against a 1700 player, and I don't care how much of a Caro-Kann specialist he may be, I'd be extremely surprised if a player with that ratig understands the game well enough to play a solid example game. But, he actually plays the first opening moves well enough, illustrating one of the debatable assertions made about this opening. A good openings player will notice the similarity to 4 pawns attack of the Alekhine's defense with the major difference of the missing pawns... and the Black QB isn't trapped behind the pawn wall. If Black is familiar with the 4 pawn Alekhine's attack stratagems, he'll probably do really well here, invalidating White's position because fewer drawbacks in Black's structure and setup plus semi-open file has to outweigh the additional open lines for White with the missing f pawn. I expect the rest of the video is of like quality. I'll just leave it that Black should have no problems against White with almost any setup he chooses, and this may be an important consideration that White does not force Black in any way.

If you rely on the Caro Kann as your main answer to 1.e4, Levy's content (here the Fantasy Variation) and the problems it poses for Black will make you a stronger player. After 3...Qb6 consolidating the center (and dark-squares) with 4.c3 is best, as 4.a4 is well met by the central strike 4...e5!, which exploits the weakness on the g1-a7 diagonal caused by the "unprincipled" 3.f3. After 5.dxe5 Black goes 5...a5!, which almost equalizes according to Stockfish, as Black then answers 6.exd5 with 6...Bc5!, and it's on! Levy is right as regards the challenge 3...Qb6 presents to White, but after 4.a4, Black has time to eye the weaknesses in White's position , and in the old Grand Style! Welcome any challenge to your favorite lines. In chess, to develop as a player you must welcome conflict and contradiction, for what does not destroy you makes you stronger!

@@highcue as a beginner it's absolutely fine to pretty much play anything. If you just have the right understanding of the game (structures, endgames,, a bit positional stuff but most importantly tactics) you will get to 2000+ without any big problems. Easier said than done but by just doing 30 mins tactics a day on Chess.com (if you have the premium membership) or on Lichess (for unlimited free puzzles) will be enough to make progress over the next few months. As for openings the London is a good way to start into the game, get specific concepts or know where the pieces have good squares but I would recommend going for either an Italian or spanish opening (you do need to study some theory for it though). If you wanna avoid theory openings, the London, English or King's Indian (similar to the thing you showed me) are good to go for a setup. If you wanna learn more about these openings, many good players have made videos about it.

Enjoyed the games Levy. I only know of the fantasy variation from when i was beginning to learn the caro but never faced it myself. Seems challenging though. Perhaps you'll make a video on how to play against it someday. Also hoping to learn a lot about the caro kann from you since i play mostly caro kann as black. Caro is the bomb except its not very explosive lol.

Stockfish wants dxe5 followed by a5 preventing white from playing a5 I guess. It's curious, e5 by black gives up the pawn for free, but I think it's the only way to develop your light square bishop. In the line I was just looking at, black eventually puts a bishop on c5 forming a nice battery with some threats. It looks hard to play.

More like what an asshole. The fact that you're down a piece and positionally lost all game and you still don't resign against someone 800 points stronger than you is cowardly and bad sportsmanship. Levy can sugarcoat it all he wants by saying "instructional purposes" but he's just being nice because of his donations.

But that's what it takes to get a 99.7 hehe. I don't know how to share it but here are the moves. [Date "2021-04-12"] 1. d4 d5 2. Nc3 Nf6 3. Bg5 e5 4. dxe5 Bb4 5. exf6 Qd6 6. fxg7 1-0
