Queen to f5. Knight takes. Pawn to e6. Checkmate.

@JohnHamilton-vj7ij 2 ай бұрын

At 10:13, after the pawn exchange, you told us to play Nf6, hoping white will capture the knight and lead to Tartakower variation. But nowadays, nobody captures the black knight on f6. Instead, white will move their knight to G5, for the hyper-venomous Alien Gambit, which no one except Stockfish can counter. Whenever my oponent plays Nf6, I will play Alien Gambit and crush them. Alien Gambit has 100% win rate. I think you missed out explaining that in your video. Caro Kann was one of the obstacles behind my FIDE rating not raising above 1600. But with Alien Gambit, I could crush the Caro Kann players into dust and raised my rating to 1672.

Solution to puzzle:Qf5, knight takes, e6 is checkmate, beautiful🔥 (Sidenote: I Don't know why, but unlike other chess yotubers, your straightforward videos are very hooky, like reading an interesting book, this video was very necessary, since other people have pay walls in front of openings and other "opening summarized" like videos on other places unlike yours, were very generic that just told you like the first two moves and that does not give me the necessary confidence to play that sort of opening. Your videos are very helpful!) Thank you sincerely Jeetendra sir! 😊

@jairadhevallabhrajrajeshwari 3 ай бұрын

@@Vijay_Singh_Rajput_ it is not the best move because checkmate is not forced, because the king can get away, even if he takes, it's more or less fine because Qf7 is not mate because black queen takes. The correct answer to a puzzle is the shortest, best and most forcing one, this is what some people don't get. On stronger levels, you will be able to see such forcing moves in flashes of a second. 👍

In the Panov variation, what should I do with my black bishop on g4 if white attacks it with their h pawn? Should I still attack white's knight on f3 (I do not believe so as that will not impact white's pawn structure), or run my bishop away (I believe this is the correct choice), but to where?

@mohammadsarim7988 4 ай бұрын

well you make such interesting videos thanks for but anyways i feel like caro kann is just kiddish thought vishy loves it but in the advance variation after e5 c5, c3 Nc6, just play Be2 and after black develops by Bf5 go Nf3 and thats kind of a common position in caro kann advance and if black pins by Bg4 just play Nd2 and moving the same piece in the opening is not considered good... so for me personally playing sicillian or french would be a lot better choice than caro which is just simple to understand.

@jairadhevallabhrajrajeshwari 4 ай бұрын

First of all, the Caro is an opening that fights for the center with a flank pawn, and while you talk about how the French is "so good" the advance Caro with the temporary pawn gambit declined is literally just a "better" version of the French. GMs are not dumb my man, Vishy plays it to fight with many potentials in the endgame with a more solid pawn structure compared to the overextending by white and to avoid the unnecessarily theoretical Sicilian and it is a fact, that if you did not know, that not even a single GM knows all the Sicilian defense variations, talk about playing it, bruh you are like those people who have no clue what to do after move two when you play the sicilian, tell me in which line of the closed sicilian do you sac the rook for the queenside knight, or just, what do you do after the alapin, look, personal opinion, I don't play the sicilian myself, have heard about it from friends who have studied it and have remained true to the simple French for some time, but indeed I played the Caro in some recent games and got huge success in the long run. While you call this opening "kiddish" you are probably just a random 600 who needs to learn to counter the wayward queen who is complaining about how white can avoid being a pawn down. Like relax, firstly, you can still hit the knight after be7 cuz you will just trade, it is that simple, and be7 is a passive move, basically white loses their advantage of being white after such move. I'm not hating or am mad at your opening preferences, but @ChessTalk isn't the "Caro Kann", if you know what I mean, he's just telling you how to play a certain opening. Obviously not everyone will be blown off the board after four moves. It's chess. It takes 3/5 loses out of all you games to get better, just developed and play chess at that point. There is also a person sitting across from you making the same efforts I order to win the game, stop complaining.

@VexilleThePunisher 3 ай бұрын

Hey ChessTalk, thank you for all of your videos, they're really helping me. I only have one question, about pinning the knight with Bg4. What if my opponent immediately plays pawn on h3 instead of Be2 to defend the knight? I'm still allowed to capture the knight? Or I simply take back the bishop on the same diagonal? If so, what if he moves pawn on g4? I mean, he's basically demolishing his pawn structure on the king side so that should be the right move

@MatBobulasChessSchool 16 күн бұрын

You can retreat to Bh5, and after g4, you are right that White's pawn structure is not great. However, you can also just play Bxf3, and the d4-pawn might be in danger. In this specific position, you can play 6...Bxf3 7. Qxf3 e6 first to protect the d5-pawn.
