The ICBM Gambit VS The Caro Kann defense

Contact me for private chess lessons 👇
[e-mail]
Caro kann defense is one of the most annoying defenses to face as white, fortunately in this video I recommend the fun and explosive intercontinental ballistic missile gambit against the caro kann.
You will learn how to play against the caro kann defense, and to have tactical awareness in open chess positions. Caro kann theory should be studied if a chess master title is in your immediate plans, but if you are playing for fun and slow improvement, this ICBM gambit line is the way to go.
I hope this line serves you well against the popular caro kann, the weapon of choice for top chess grand masters like Hans Niemann, Hikaru Nakamura, Magnus carlsen, Alireza Firouzja, etc.
I believe chess openings for white should be aggressive and attacking and this line is just that.

I’m around 2000 and play the Caro and I’ve never seen this line before, interesting

[@mortalchess]

lol I'm guessing openings is not your strong suit.. caro players are usually good positionally but i'ts nice to have that explosive line in your back pocket to use once in a while when you're in the mood.

[@TwoHonest]

@@mortalchess Nah I just been playing the Caro since I started playing chess, I climbed the rating ladder with mainly Caro, Kings Indian and London 🤣 I prob should learn some more aggressive openings now tho

[@saulmaldonado4607]

I always play the caro kann and would never fall for this trap because the idea is to stablish a good defense before attacking unless there's a good piece to take and a pawn is not

[@mortalchess]

Principles before material, nice. but the best way to punish a gambit is to take the material, no?

[@akashs6110]

​@@mortalchessI always take 1 or 2 material in beginning and then leave it so whatever gambit they have fail lol😅😅

[@mortalchess]

@@akashs6110 😂😂I hate it when I play a gambit and my opponent does that. I need you to take everything lol

[@lol-yz8fh]

xD thats what I do against the danish gambit​@@akashs6110

[@Bleuthatup]

The thomas shelby part had me laughing in real life

[@mortalchess]

😂yes yes,the peaky blinders, great show ey,

[@PizzaChess69]

One question: What if they stubbornly refuse to take on d3? Because that's what happens in like 90 % of games that I play against the Caro Kann.

[@mortalchess]

wow like 90% huh interesting. maybe you've risen to a rating level where opponents are a lil bit paranoid, takes is the best move . none the less ,I have a destroy the sicilian video (KIA) should work against the caro aswell.

[@PizzaChess69]

@@mortalchess It just feels like 90 % of opponents nowadays exactly know the trick and how to stop it.

[@ecarte931]

You can take dxe4 anyway, and Qxd1+ Kxd1 endgame is better for white(surprisingly)

[@PizzaChess69]

After having taken the Queen, if Black pushes forward the d-Pawn, do NOT take the Bishop. If you do, Black will play Bb4 check + discovered attack on the Queen, basically the same trick that you played, and then YOU are the fool. If Black pushes forward the d-Pawn, just castle first and Bb4 instantly goes from life-threatening to completely meaningless.

[@mortalchess]

yes yes, very important detail that. imagine losing back the queen right after you say something arrogant in the chat box😂..chess is brutal

[@kumarchandresh0]

I dropped dead after hearing the name of the father of the atomic bomb. ROFL 🤣🤣🤣

[@jadecortez9819]

In 01:02 time in this vid what if he/she goes bishop E6 doing a what's called a barrier basically this piece gets protected by a nother piece or a pawn and that piece that's getting protected is protecting the piece that's protecting it the difference with barrier and battery is in battery it's attack mode and in barrier it's protect mode .

[@glubes]

I fall 1 time to this trap before being 1500. Now not anymore

[@mortalchess]

impressive, how long did it take to get to 1500?

[@glubes]

@@mortalchess i started to learn how to play chess in 2020 thanks to pandemic. since then i watch content creators and i have improved a lot!

[@mortalchess]

nice, Alex Banzea has great content on the caro kann

[@glubes]

​@@mortalchess indeed, I also follow him :)

[@n3ther1te]

Awesome

[@mortalchess]

I'm glad you liked it cozy cat

[@ZorbaPress]

This is a dangerous trap! ... After falling into it, in your next games play 4 ... Nf6 and then Black is at least equal.

[@mortalchess]

I play the caro too lol so it pained me to make this video but its such a good trap man

[@ZorbaPress]

@@mortalchess I fell into this trap a few months ago, and lost my Queen -- but somehow I fought back and won. That plan -- lose your Queen then fight back -- is NOT recommended for Black!

[@Theshwifty]

Damn man its hard to remember all the lines

[@mortalchess]

you can say that again man, chess is hard.

[@Theshwifty]

@@mortalchess any tips for a low elo beginner?

[@mortalchess]

The fastest way to improve is to join an actual IRL chess club, and play online. You have to feel that adrenaline rush of an OTB game man, especially one that goes the distance and maybe attracts a handful of spectators. you will go back home analyze those games thoroughly, beat yourself up, pat yourself on the back, sometimes you won't even want to look at the game it's so painful, but, that emotional investment is where true improvement lies. Online also because sometimes you just need to play an opening a 100 times to drill it in. So both working in tandem, you will reach 17-1800 in year or so, I've seen it happen.

I have these funny tactics videos where I make fun of chess people,, will definitely do one on Gotham

Great content my guy you got a new sub

Found through shorts btw

[@mortalchess]

Thanks Mr Noble monkey, I'm glad you liked the vid

I play the caro-kann beat me in the caro kann

[@mortalchess]

I will have a lichess or chess.com account up soon,, I'm on a chess time out, bullet addict here tryna save the few brain cells I have left.

[@ChristianTurnerLifts]

Is this supposed to imitate ChessPage1's channel? Same robot voiceover, similar style, different memes.. and 5 months newer than ChessPage1

[@PawnsinAction]

I get that the voicing and style is similar but the content is good regardless

[@ChristianTurnerLifts]

​@@PawnsinAction In the grand scheme, I'm sure it doesn't really matter anyway. Both channels will get views one way or another because it is entertaining.

[@mortalchess]

voice over, yes, its the best free male voice out there, I have zero budget and zero shame lol, but editing style wise, I'm tryna go for a movie trailer feel, getting better each vid I think.. content is my own research and memes are my own dark sense of humor and this is me holding back lol.. that's mortal chess in a nutshell,, I'm guessing the 1 dislike was u Christian, so kiss my...😅

[@ChristianTurnerLifts]

Your guess was wrong. @@mortalchess

[@mortalchess]

I got my eyes on you none the less. unless that's you dead lifting on your profile pic there.. then I would like to emphasize the importance of peace.

[@yuvrajsarathe6421]

What if he plays Nh6 instead of h6?

[@lloydmupunga618]

same same, Nxf7 followed by bishop

[@mortalchess]

lol yap same same

[@yuvrajsarathe6421]

@@lloydmupunga618 Nxf7 then Nxf7(knight on h6)

[@mortalchess]

@@yuvrajsarathe6421Now why on earth did I think you meant Nf6.. I just had a look at the position, Not bad its played 2 percent of the time, my surface level analysis is that after Nc3 black seems to have trouble coordinating his pieces, I personally would not be worried about winning the pawn back immediately I'd develop put the pieces on good squares and if development is efficient, something will give, positionally or tactically or otherwise. it also helps that all top 4 played moves after Nc3 (e6,Bg4,Bf5,f6) fall for some tactic on f7 or h7.

[@DaBruhMe]

Ah yes knowing both strengths and weaknesses of the caro will just make me stronger

[@mortalchess]

yeah bro, you gotta approach this sh** from both directions
