1700 destroying IM (almost) | Caro Kann ONLY Rating Climb

[@deepdoshi7113]

U earned a subscriber buddy..this series is even better than how to win at chess series by Gotham coz here u compile all the videos with one opening and it’s the best way to learn openings I guess.Thanks!!

[@AlexBanzea]

Thank you ❤️

[@Filchmeister]

It's baffling to me that you do not have more subscribers. Any chance of an English opening rating climb in the future?

[@AlexBanzea]

Thanks a lot for the kind words ❤️ will do a run with the Botvinnik English in the future!

[@Filchmeister]

@@AlexBanzea thank you!

[@AlexBanzea]

How have I only just noticed the "All pawns and no hope" Benny Watts shirt + cowboy hat thumbnail 😂

[@ArEnTuli]

Another great video! Please keep them coming and the subs will follow!

[@TGregers]

Just listening to your rationalization while playing helps alot man. Great stuff:)

[@AlexBanzea]

Glad to help!

29:45 flaggingtease0:00.6 not just once...but two moves in a row!!!

[@rhysgriffiths9675]

I don't think I've ever faced e5 on move 2. I'd probably play the usual d5 and transpose into the advance variation.

[@wellutopia2237]

Seems to me the cheat detection is like non existent on this site. Makes me not wanna play.

[@palmermckinney1081]

Great series. To bad you whisper through the whole thing.

[@ChessJourneyman]

You always highlight the most critical problems we face. That rare e5, the isolated pawn gameplay, etc.

[@vanjajaja1]

you didn't show the mate in 2!! now i need to find it myself

[@maheshtutika2566]

You are an amazing teacher. I learned a lot from your Caro kann and London. From a 800 , I reached 1200, all thanks to your videos. Thank you very much.

[@TimJapan]

BTW Neoharm the one you drew with was caught cheating and banned. He was up 2300 putting away NMs and FMs before he was rumbled. You'd think he woudve been found out sooner

[@SLKCHESS]

Nice video

[@cedrics7374]

You missed Qxf2+ then Qg2# in the last game

[@ChristianSoschner]

Funny

[@walterbrownstone8017]

I really would like to see you play the caro kann as white.

[@kaidoChess]

1:29 😅😅😅 love your reactions

[@Hananotaka]

In that last game, L’Ami recommends Ne7 after Re1. That way, when Ne5 comes, you can pull the bishop back to f5, trading off or kicking the white bishop on d3.

[@AlexBanzea]

Both are playable, but that’s a good line! I love Erwin’s course.

[@Hananotaka]

@@AlexBanzea Indeed! But your videos here complement it nicely with practical, informative examples.

[@srinijager9270]

Great stuff Alex!

[@brendanmorris4069]

yesss

[@oksananechyporuk9357]

awesome video !

[@Pizmos]

video hype

[@frequensea9434]

How do you feel about advance caro kann and then playing c5 right away?

[@AlexBanzea]

It’s playable but inferior

[@Bruceylancer]

@@AlexBanzea Why though? The engine actually shows that c5 is the best move :) By a very small margin of course, but still. And also not walking into the annoying Bayonet attack. I've been playing c5 a lot lately and getting comfortable positions every time.

[@AlexBanzea]

@@Bruceylancer it works well against lower rated opponents, but once you climb the ladder you will notice what’s the issue with it. Maybe we’ll see it on the channel in the future, but personally I prefer …Bf5 as a more reliable choice. The problem with …c5 lines is that you will be getting a worse French. (Sure the engine holds it, but not very fun to play in my opinion).

[@Bruceylancer]

@@AlexBanzea Got it, thanks!

[@jadelamrani4509]

what does count live mean?

[@AlexBanzea]

It’s the Twitch channel where I’m streaming the games

[@jadelamrani4509]

@@AlexBanzea yea but is there any meaning behind ?
