Thank you Danya, you are a world champion teacher. I hope you don't tire of it anytime soon. Your lessons are truly the best.

[@DanielNaroditskyGM]

Thank you!!!

[@adean]

As a Caro player, thank you. This is incredible.

[@blakejhonshen2710]

This is genuinely more helpful than any other resource I've seen on the Caro Kann, especially for the advance variation. As a Caro Kann player too, holy crap, Danya is giving us gold for free

As someone who wants to start playing it this is like a vault full of gold and diamonds and a guard asleep

[@Krapvag]

There's a few variations on caro I've been getting used to but this video seemed almost made specifically for me with a couple of key moves where I was going wrong. I never thought to check for bishop being blocked so I could put the knight on the rim

[@huckthatdish]

Yeah I knew the very basics but this helped me understand the plans and themes a lot better. I’m not high enough rated to be memorizing every variation but this I think will help me a lot

[@kkkk-ks7ke]

@@Krapvag Yeah! I'm a Caro Kann main and that was the biggest takeaway for me as well. Usually can't put the knight there without destroying my pawn structure but that F4 pawn is blocking white's dark bishop

Danya(Naro) is the ONLY chess grandmaster worth the sub in Twitch prime, and its not because he teach anything better than free members, but worth because is the only way i can thank him in a way. He does all this for free, and out there are courses with half the info and attention, that costs an absurd amount of money. If you read this. Thank you! i admire u

[@macheteexport2749]

He does it for "free" but you realise he is creating content for his stream and youtube this way and makes tens of thousands every month? Also literally having sponsor text on the screen. I appreciate the lessons greatly, but its stupid to say that he does it for free.

[@babyjoe2096]

Ive been trying to learn the caro kann through different videos and articles i can find and this was by far the most helpful and informative video I’ve found

[@robbiewilliamson9783]

I like that he apologizes for ranting when his ranting is the exact information I've been looking for about my opening and that has been lacking in most of the chess tutorials I've watched. It's great when you get a teacher like this who doesn't just act like everything is obvious but who shows things so clearly that it becomes obvious.

[@fruitybhujia]

honestly, this is the best lesson on caro kann advance or caro in general i have seen ever . it helps me so much with these mistakes i had been making in the advance variation 😁

[@tjitsekoster9379]

I have the same problem. Usually after going C5, the queen side is open to attack and I somehow never find the right way to stop that.

[@austinsilva6488]

@@tjitsekoster9379 a6 is generally a nice move to prevent any pieces on b5, also Nd7 can be helpful with defense. Sometimes you need to make sure to castle early. Don’t be scared to play b6 if b7 pawn is attacked as it helps build for c5 even more. It’s good to castle generally before going for c5 but take this as advice dependent on situation, not an absolute rule
