Enjoy watching you explain the many different lines. Very patient & thorough. Thanks for doing these.

As a Caro Kann player I can't wait to get destroyed in the next couple of days

[@oxey_]

better learn how to play against it now

[@andrewjohn2124]

As a life long Caro Kann player who plays online alot I want to go against this and get crushed time and time again. These titles are silly. The only suprise of late was when someone played against me Ng5...1.e4 c6 2.d4 d5 3.Nc3 de4 4.Ne4 Nd7 5.Ng5. I haven't seen this in a while and have brushed up again on my theory.

[@Fenamer]

@@andrewjohn2124 1 Year later, just to let you know There's a little bit of theory with Ng5 in the Karpov Caro

Recently got into chess and have been watching a bunch of videos on KZbin, including your content. First time I heard someone say your name, I thought they were literally talking through the screen to me. Now, every time I hear it, I just do one of those “exhale heavily through my nose” mini-laughs. Anyway, keep up the great content man! - Jonathan Shantz

[@trucid2]

I know others have commented on twitch, but nice sweater, man!

[@deepnarayanbanerjee4348]

Jonathan you have really great content

[@JonathanSchrantz]

Thank you!

[@nate8106]

As soon as i saw your favorite streaming sweater i knew it'd be a great video. Love the 2 knights and your opening lectures. I see the caro so much it's annoying

[@sayafkhan748]

Thanks for the precious lesson

[@abhijeetgore310]

Thumbnail is great man😍

[@uifwastaken]

lovely video, thank you!

[@evanhansen5064]

Have you taken a look at the breyer variation of the caro? it was a favorite of tals

[@chessgeak]

i play 2 knights vs caro kahn its very fun

[@OcteractSG]

11:52 after black does gxh5, I would suggest Qxh5+. The idea here is to give black the choice of blundering the rook or dealing with another check by way of fxe5+. There doesn’t seem to be much more to do after this, though.

[@vkaiiims]

Every other chess video i have seen on the caro kann has only covered the traps. Yours is the only video that actually discusses the opening in detail, and you explain it very very thoroughly. I believe your channel is absolutely the best youtube channel to learn opening theory. I have also learned a lot from your how to play against the london video. So concise and yet detailed. Thank you very much.

[@cominoengenharia]

As a Caro Kanner, I'd never try bg4, when I have a chance to go classic tartakower version. I guess that this will work only for people who don't know how to proper play caro kann. A rare line that will take space in your mind and wouldn't even be necessary, since you will not use it against a player that know what they're doing

[@constantinospapadopoulos6778]

can you do a video on the panov attack? love your vids

[@ashishthomas5562]

Could you do the Tal variation of the Caro Kann advance

[@Kamo9]

this miniature is a masterpiece 😭😭😭😭😭

[@academicboy9555]

Yeah

[@mufla2636]

11:53 isn't Qxh5+ before taking on e6 just better?

[@seanhunter111]

The two knights is full of viscious traps. If you play the Caro as black and your opponent goes into the two knights, the easiest way to face it is 3.. dxe and then 4..Nf6 transposing into a Tartakower-type structure. From there the only remaining trap to look out for is the old Qe2 pin leading to Nd6# trap. So as long as you look out for that you avoid all the shenanigans and just have a normal solid Caro game.

[@cominoengenharia]

That's it. Simple and effective. Playing tartakower is not a 'crush' for white. And if they're not careful, they can be in trouble after black castle.

[@KanaalMTS]

Great thumbnail haha

[@yannovitch2564]

Fe2 , une variante secondaire intéressante mais trop passive à mon goût

[@milehighslacker4196]

Be2, an interesting secondary variation but too passive for my taste.

[@hannazrour579]

I won a classical game against a 200 points higher rated opponent today because i stumbled on this video before the game 🥰 (he played the Bxg5 Qb6, O-O-O c5 line)

[@trickychessopenings5450]

Jhonathan can you make a video Benko gambit when white plays a4 and Nb5.. This is sometime annoying please explain it. And two knight variations against french. . Please.

1:48 I see you keeping in the beautiful blue sweater comment

[@JunctionWatcherUK]

Hi, friendly feedback. If you’re able to add chapters to your future videos, with the different lines that would be really helpful. So the viewer can jump straight to the particular line they’re trying to learn/remember. Thank you.

Can anyone here tell me if king's indian defense is playable nowadays plz?? Because engines says that is breakable and very bad.

Stockfish dislikes it but Leela chess Zero thinks it’s fine. It’s completely playable and in addition literally any opening is playable until you’re 2000 rated
