Chess Tips: Caro Kann - Easy Advantage in Modern Two Knights!!

[@kalloop5526]

Love your opening videos man, u deserve much more attention but please don't stop, it's really helped me to improve!

[@MiodragPerunovicOfficial]

Thanks, I am here because of you guys 😉

[@niklasl.8761]

I love this variation. I remember, when you hold a lecture on the chess brah channel about it. After that, I included this variation in my repertoire and I get so many wins with it. I am looking really foreward for this vidio!

[@MiodragPerunovicOfficial]

Niklas, I improved every single variations there, enjoy! By the way, this is serious video about one of the best lines vs Karo, not gambit but good enough with tricks and sharp lines full of initiative! See you soon in live show!

[@olivernew3943]

Thank you for another great lecture! Already the "older" version you made on the Chessbrah channel was extremely educational and helpful on my level. The small improvements in this coverage are just amazing and it's nice to have an updated version. In fact I'm still playing quite a lot of the variations you recommend. A big exception is your setup against the French since after 1. e4 e6 2. d4 d5 3. Nc3 most people on my level play the Winawer, which I believe you never gave a lecture on and I just can't understand most of its positions, so I switched to other variations there. It would be cool to have a Winawer recommendation by you! So a great thanks for all the work you've done. I'm undefeated with the White Pieces for 13 games now and I think your openings are playing a big role in that achievement

[@MiodragPerunovicOfficial]

Thanks a lot man! Don’t want to sound cocky (even if it sounds this way), but opening preps are the main reason why all most talented world kids and their parents want me as a coach, 3 World champions, 6 Wice World champions and 3 bronze medals with zillions of state champions as well... So, time to share some of these things with you and I am glad you’re doing fine, but i didn’t expect anything else! 💪💪💪😎😎😎

Brought his pgn really worth the money well put together

[@kewalmohapatra8340]

How much did it cost?

[@KancerKowboy]

Another awesome video from the Butcher :-)

[@texasAUtiger]

This is awesome. Thank you!

[@MiodragPerunovicOfficial]

It is! 💪

Love your videos Mio

[@MiodragPerunovicOfficial]

Thanks Nicky :)

[@David-hq8ir]

thx for the video, at 25:32 Nh4 is best and winning on the spot.

Great stuff!! Miopedia at woek!!!!

[@MrMassimo56]

A very interesting variation

27:45 I don't know why but this made me laugh so hard.🤣🤣

[@SantonaAkter-xi6hf]

Great thanks

This is fantastic content

Thanks! 😄

[@ayhanazizoglu3733]

Thank you Miodrag, its very nice.

[@gokselkabaroglu2946]

Thanks👍

[@xaviermejiaxx]

Thanks a lot, real chess class. God bless

[@MiodragPerunovicOfficial]

Thank you buddy 😉

[@stevejones3008]

Mio when you do a Chessable course on Butcher The Caro Kan, will you use the 2 Knights variation? I would like to know as will start playing the variation you will make the course about. Loving your Bishop's Opening and Butcher the Sicilian courses on Chessable. Keep up the great work my friend.

[@MiodragPerunovicOfficial]

At the moment, it would be Tals variation 3.e5 Bf5 4.h4 but I am not sure what is going to be top line in few months/years :) We gotta be modern!

[@simsim4251]

I almost beat a GM with this line, I just lost on time thanks a lot that boost my confidence playing

[@MiodragPerunovicOfficial]

Good to know that man! Recently I almost beat two GMs with this in OTB chess games, drew both in completely winning games, but life goes on, this opening is tough for Karo Kan players!

[@abdelmaksoudelshishiny4242]

Coatch i hope you doing well.thank you very much to help me to defeat any opponent play Caro kan or French 💪💪

[@MiodragPerunovicOfficial]

Always 😉

[@jaylenlenear7850]

One of your students is a GM ! Not even surprised tbh just happy its confirmed

[@MiodragPerunovicOfficial]

Well, I coached more than 20 GMs...

[@jaylenlenear7850]

@@MiodragPerunovicOfficial awesome!

[@rhysgriffiths9675]

As black, after dxe4 I like to play Nf6 then Na6. It's very dangerous for white, and you'll see in the database it had a very high win rate for black with mostly 2400+ players playing it.

[@MiodragPerunovicOfficial]

I know about it, and its pretty good for Black. Far from dangerous for White, but yeah, it gives good game to Black

[@pauliinuma]

Mio, I really like this video so much. Very good content. Hope I can get a copy of the pgn. Will let you know soon

[@MiodragPerunovicOfficial]

Hello Paul, I don’t give anymore PGN copy of the files, you may find out on my site how much each one does it cost…

[@pamelahermano9298]

Great video! Obviously you know your openings sir.

[@MiodragPerunovicOfficial]

Well, I try my best 😉

[@marufsarkar2960]

29:00 what if bishop takes rook on a1?

[@lordofcastamere9376]

My father taught me sometime some trick in this variation. A common mistake is after 3.dxe4 4. Nxe4 Bf5?! 5. Ng3 Bg6 6. h4 h6 7. Ne5 Bh7 8. Qh5 g6 9. Bc4! Threatening checkmate. Only move is e6. You play 10. Qe2 Nf6 11. Nxf7 goodbye I won from a 1750 FIDE in classical time control with this within 15 minutes

[@MiodragPerunovicOfficial]

Line that I gave is objectively better, the one you played I also tried has more tricks, but isn’t as winning as the one I gave

[@hritwikranjan2198]

Will you cover the 2 Knights against French Defense ? I love using this against Caro Kann and have used it ever since you covered it on Chessbrah

[@MiodragPerunovicOfficial]

I will check two knights vs French, but I have better lines vs French...

[@Soulcella]

15:48 Instead of Qf3 my engine says g5. As black can black f6 after Qf3...

[@lorenzovalle8361]

At 9:15 isnt’it better for White to rockade (8. 0-0)?

[@MiodragPerunovicOfficial]

Lorenzo It is not 😉

[@lorenzovalle8361]

@@MiodragPerunovicOfficial Ok. I trust you. Thanks for your answer.

[@andrehoffmann9048]

At 25:30 nh4 instead of a3 is crushing...after nh4 nc6 qh5 it's suddenly over for black^^ Still amazing video love your content!

[@Soulcella]

25:42 Instead of a3, Kh4 should be played! Had this in a match once! =)

[@IRailroad]

😊😊

[@nathangrabias8045]

Hi Mio, I have been playing this against carro players but I have a question for what to do against e4 c6 Nc3 d5 Nf3 dxe4 Nxe4 Bf5? It seems to be a popular choice. Please respond.

[@MiodragPerunovicOfficial]

Ng3 Bg6 h4 h6 Ne5! Bh7 Qh5! g6 Qf3 Nf6 Qb3 1-0 go home man 😉

[@plavitch]

What do you like for White after 1. e4 c6 2. Nc3 d5 3. Nf3 Bg4 4. h3 Bxf3 5. Qxf3 Nf6?

[@anessavillar539]

Sir.pls.make a caro kann variation on black side with the side lines e4 c6 Bc4 d5 exd5 Bb3

[@juanbautistasoria757]

As a caro player, I'll study this so I don't lose out of the opening

[@MiodragPerunovicOfficial]

As a Caro player, please change that boring opening 🤣 But I will reveal you a secret - my best results vs 1.e4 I had with Caro back to 2008!

[@juanbautistasoria757]

@@MiodragPerunovicOfficial I'll never change it Caro-kann rules 😎

[@redrhubarb9219]

"Beat the Caro-Kann: Two-Knights Variation" at Chessable have a lot of, if not most of, the same lines...

[@MiodragPerunovicOfficial]

I kade that video 3-4 years ago, will do the updates soon. BigMio is always the first and the best 💪

[@john11inchlhb40]

In the Bg4+Bxf3 line, if white plays the mainline d4 instead of d3, do you have a nice move against that Na6+Qa5+Nc7 formation? I can't find any way to crack it. I have been analyzing the main move and also 11. g4 very deeply but finding nothing.

[@MiodragPerunovicOfficial]

We’ll find something and get back to you, give me accurate order of moves though!

[@john11inchlhb40]

@@MiodragPerunovicOfficial This one: 1. e4 c6 2. Nc3 d5 3. Nf3 Bg4 4. h3 Bxf3 5. Qxf3 e6 6. d4 dxe4 7. Qxe4 Nf6 8. Qd3 Na6 9. a3 Qa5 10. Rb1 Nc7 I found a weird line with g4 and Rg1 that makes a mess, but still doesn't seem to offer much in the long run: 11. g4 Ncd5 12. Bd2 Nxc3 13. Bxc3 Qd5 14. Rg1 with the plan of a kingside pawn storm

[@toshiro0474]

Hey mio,i love your videos and especially the two knight karo ,i recently destroyed a 2100 elo player in a tournament game thanks to this ;could you do a video on the bishop opening ? It would be very useful ! Thanks for the amazing content :)

[@MiodragPerunovicOfficial]

Bishop opening should be done although, I gotta make sure when

[@ABDELMAKSOUDELSHESHENY]

Great COACH KINDLY WE NEED COLLE ATTACK

[@MiodragPerunovicOfficial]

Great idea! I might do that very soon!

[@Juliey-k7o]

But most of your variants are traps for amateurs. You need to pick up from 8 moves in from intelligent play.

[@MiodragPerunovicOfficial]

Thanks 🙏
