If you wanna learn an opening, you should study games by top players that play it regularly. When it comes to the Caro-Kann, Mikhail Botvinnik is probably the player most famous for employing the opening. He used it in 3 world championships, and, most convincingly, to smash Tal in their 1961 rematch.

I'm really enjoying this Caro Kann series!

It's wonderful to see your love of the history of chess. More of these please. Capablanca, Botvinnik and Karpov are my favourite players

Karpov would have beaten Fischer. His style was fantastic. Another great is Petrosian, not to mention Rubinstein. I love strategic chess, and fireworks are for fun or bluff.

Your analysis about knights vs bishops was very illustrative. Many should find it useful. Good video. That was a charming domestic scene with your s.o., no worry. There's never a need to apologize when your coffee table is stolen.

Happy Christmas Holidays! Great Caro-Kann lessons, with you as very good teacher! Botvinnik and Tal was huge chess players.

I am a huge fan of Botvinnik, Karpov and Petrosian. Like you said the simplicity of the games is sometimes astounding, and the better part of it is that all the basic rules of strategic chess are there: weak squares, isolated pawns, files, ranks, etc. Great series.

Great video as always.. when you say you understand their moves “Potvinnik, Karpov and Carlsen” but you can’t play like them because they’re stronger players, what exactly define a player as a stronger one? Thanks a lot

@ChessHoodie 6 ай бұрын

They say, there are no dumb questions, and it is mostly true! In this exact case, you are asking a question analogous to why is 100$ more money than 20$. A stronger player plays stronger, it is as simple as that.

@bluefin.64 6 ай бұрын

I assume you're asking because you're ESL. Strong basically means good, but those two words aren't used in exactly the same way. The difference is kind of fuzzy, and I couldn't describe it. The usage of "strong" is a quirk of chess culture in English that even native speakers can initially find unusual. You'll pick it up over time.

@augustedupin9576 6 ай бұрын

Understanding the move in analysis and finding the move over the board are very different. That's why analysing the games of the greats is so much fun. You will be able to understand the moves but you will just awe at their genius in the sense that ' not in a million years would I hv found that!'

Hi ,I play the Caro Kann and like it ,probably my favorite ,and have a 790 raring . I'm going to study your video ,and Merry Xmas

@ChessHoodie 6 ай бұрын

with 790 rating it is never about the opening! You will not get hurt by studying it, but your focus should be on ending the blundering that happens in your games. I am talking about 1 move ( or half move) blunders. Once you stop blundering 1 move threats , your rating will go up to 1200+. So, to sum it all up, your problem is not in the opening... (btw, this was discovered more than 100 years ago...)
