14-year-old Bobby Fischer meets the Caro-Kann

[@lv.s.p4973]

Hey Jerry it's everyone. Thanks for keeping up the fantastic content and regular updates of instructive games! You're the GOAT

[@ParkerBG]

Hey cliche-commenter! It’s unreasonably-annoyed-by-random-commenters guy!

[@adnan4688]

​@@ParkerBGI always thought those are just bots. And I can't be far from the truth anyway.

[@SebAlva]

Hi Jerry this is everyone. Thanks for the upload, love these analyses. I'd be happy to see more standard chess videos by you as well, thanks!

[@Art.20Abs.4GG]

Thanks for the instructional video! The "smiling" pawn structure is something I'll certainly remember; as well as the "baby steps", when converting a pawn majority :) For anyone wondering: Baby steps ≈ 16:13 Smiling ≈ 17:30

[@carriersailor2474]

I appreciate the explainations of the different end-game tactics. This was a very enjoyable vid, and the "young, not yet crazy Fisher" hook hooked me.

[@mohamedshakir1642]

When he telll that ? Times span ?

[@LukeLongboneOfficial]

It’s telling when someone says Bobby Fischer is/was crazy. It’s an irrelevant statement to the topic of chess that betrays certain aspects of the person who made the comment.

[@nedobrien9073]

Jerry! You're my favourite chess KZbinr. You focus on the most important aspect: the analysis of the game itself. No flashy click bait or chess drama. Well thought out and insightful analysis as always. Bless you!

[@halwelch4173]

I love your alternate lines you show before you continue with the game as played. I learn so much from those. Well done!

[@ronj9448]

Excellent choice of game. Strategy was straightforward and I liked the explanations during the piece trade-downs. Great fun.

[@oldiesbutgoodiesaco6633]

Wow! A very instructive analysis!👍🏻👍🏻

[@ChessNetwork]

Thank you 👍

[@andylee3114]

Instructive as always.

[@rileyoneal4767]

Great video as usual!

[@jdrive03]

"You want your pawns smiling" - great tip! Also great tip for not initiating on pawn attacks. Force your opponent to open their file and double up on their own file.

[@tongpoo8985]

This video is extremely helpful for learning about endgames. You could honestly put this one in the Beginner to Chess Master playlist, learned like 4 extremely useful things in this that I never heard somewhere else.

[@StephenHain1]

Massively instructive and perfectly approachable. It's what makes Jerry the best.

[@CrashSomeMore]

Thanks!

[@ChessNetwork]

Thank you very much for the $10.00. Super Thanks! ❤️

[@aztecachess4512]

Cool edition with that joker smile Jerry

[@ChessNetwork]

👍😎

[@ciaranlyons825]

Terrifying!!

[@UNDERDOGMMA]

I have been following this channel for more than 10 years. Jerry is the best analyst in the game, humble and helpful. If only I actually got better at chess, unfortunately no matter how much I learn, I just play like a crazed maniac

[@joseraulcapablanca8564]

A very instructive game and commentary. Thanks Jerry.

[@TheMarkODonohue]

The nuances of b6 before c6 near the end are what I enjoy most about chess at this stage of my journey. Sure, learning smothered mates and gambits and sacrificing is fun, but these kind of moves where your opponent just goes “ah shit” and realises it’s all over are so fun to find.

[@skullcan]

another great game and very instructive endgame! Thank you Jerry!

[@Silvermist78]

Highly instructive analysis. Thank you Jerry!

[@alekhinesgun9997]

I just played a game and had a king and pawn endgame today and was low on time and was unsure about the position until I saw I could use your pawn smile idea and successfully stopped my opponents pawn to win the game, you're a legend

[@JoseDownUnder]

Excellent instructive video Jerry ✌️, thanks for this analysis !

[@00bikeboy]

Very instructive game and commentary. Thank you

[@RickvanLoy]

Thank you very much for this excellent instructive game.

[@jsteel89]

Very well done. Thanks, Jerry.

[@jamesdelb6885]

Great lessons to be learned from your videos.

[@nicksamek12]

Great video! Thank you for breaking down Bobby’s magnificence.

[@WtItCbtLoR]

Thanks Jerry. I tend to try to use that u-shaped pawn structure but now I'll always think of them as smiling pawns.

[@MoonBurn13]

Thanks Jerry. I knew from your own games that when you mentioned this as a “Pawn Endgame”, we would be getting the best commentary.

[@marianosetula5666]

nice vid, as always

[@Piewalkermatt]

Cool.

[@rpralica]

I can't believe he was so strong at 14 years old.

[@arcaylan]

Thank you!

[@KF1]

Nice. Jerry have you considered another Beginner to Chess Master video, specifically abouf pawn attacks and endgame passers? That would be right on. Also, huzzah, I figured it musf be F3!

[@Guitare_picking]

very instructive thank you

[@Gus-r9j]

In your variation recommending … f5! around 11:00 (immediately following white's push to d5) it appears that black can force the rook exchange by … Re2+ forking WK and WN (the latter looking fugly on f2). In which case white responds Rd2, so black plays Rxd2, white recaptures with K or B, black captures on d5 and his positional disadvantage has pretty much evaporated?

[@moekottek4872]

Thx Jerry 😊

[@cobeferraro3464]

I love that endgame technique.

[@magdydawod2546]

Amazing

[@BOOTAANBOOTAAN]

Execellent insights Jerry I am an old fan. I am just curiuos about why not take that free pawn on f4. Is it more worth to ristrict the night?

[@thegorn]

Very instructive my elo just jumped 100 points

[@dipankarghosh6878]

Hey Jerry please please continue the series beginners to chessmaster series with with all the concepts for beginners according to rating please...you dont know how your explanations are helping to learn and love chess more ..please it's a request from heart please

[@loplop7029]

Hi Jerry.

[@markphc99]

Hi , could someone please tell me why black doesn't kick the knight with d4 on move 3 - it seems like a good move?

[@aaronbreault]

look up book on the Caro-Kann

[@abebuckingham8198]

The knight will move to e2 and pressure the advanced pawn so you'll have to use another move to defend it. Due to the pawn on c6 the knight that would normally do that job can't so you end up playing c5. This line wastes several tempi when you could instead be developing your pieces. c3 can also be played adding additional pressure to the advanced d pawn so it creates an easy weakness for white to keep the initiative.

[@markphc99]

@@abebuckingham8198 Thanks for your convincing reply

[@abebuckingham8198]

@@aaronbreault I've read them and it's a dumb opening. Just don't play it.

The black knight would have captured on a.8 😂

one thumb down - 568 thumbs up - we love you lonely wolf - just write what was wrong in your opinion, Jerry doesnt even insists on clicking thums up so its always your independent choice.

[@colin351]

Hi Jerry

[@ataferdos2069]

Nobody analyses games like jerry

[@cristianmicu]

what slightly bothers me is the commentary over fischer's shoulder.. yes of course lets look how we can help the stronger player. the other one is the enemy so we dont care about his moves.... only the souless computer can look in that direction, but we dont care about that anyway. why would we analyze black moves, so little time and so little interest in white's

[@ChessNetwork]

For sure there is a focus primarily on the side who wins. There are certainly more thorough approaches to covering a game, resulting in significantly lengthier videos. I prefer to keep game review videos somewhat bite-sized. On the other side of the coin there’s an audience out there who would prefer I “just show the moves of the game”. 😎 Thanks for watching. 👍

[@E8oL4]

There is some analysis of the black side, too.

[@rockyk1950]

Brilliant. In chess and in politics.
