"Gonna take a break from this theory" (looks at opening) Bongcloud This is is why you're my favorite chess teacher

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

Recently got into chess and have been watching a bunch of videos on KZfaq, 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

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

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

Jonathan you have really great content

Thanks for the precious lesson

lovely video, thank you!

Thumbnail is great man😍

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

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.

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

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

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.

i play 2 knights vs caro kahn its very fun

Could you do the Tal variation of the Caro Kann advance

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

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.

this miniature is a masterpiece 😭😭😭😭😭

Great thumbnail haha

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.

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)

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

Yeah

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

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.

Nice blue sweater 😂🤣

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

nice new thumbnail

Is your cupboard full of blue shirts........anyway really good weapon

9:07

Hey. Please do a series on the Moscow variation of the Semi Slav.

And what happens After 3. Nf6???

Jonathan would you be a joestar

ACTUALLY ACTUALLIS ACTUALLY NOT EVER NEEDED TO BE SPOKEN, ACTUALLY.

24:55 “you could play like a computer and play g4 like you dont care about anything” at first i thought u were just joking and saying play like a computer because it was an unnatural move but then i looked at the engine and saw it was one of the top moves and thought noooo he meant play like a computer

Heyo Jonathan! Do you have german relatives? Your last name sounds so german!

Jonathan you need to do some theory work on your internet sometime :)

What about the sicilian? NO-

You should consider changing your youtube name to match your twitch handle. It helps with growth and your content deserves to grow. 👍 Keep it up.

The CARO - KANN DEFENSE IS BULLET PROOF 💯 GRANDMASTER LOVE THIS DEFENSE SYSTEM 💯

Since you’ve gotten several nice compliments already, KZfaq OMG face thumbnails are really stupid.

Eric Rosen copied your video hahaahh

After watching 7 minutes I was yet to see the making of any "CRUSH" so I'm outta here ... and too much random talk
