Well, one night I decided I’d click a video of yours!

"okay...opponent playing.........really really strange" @55:30 - This is exactly what I am talking about when I say most of the time I play Caro Kann I get this kind of random weirdness. "They never play what they play in your videos". Exactly what I mean...many players at 500 do not play "right" against Caro Kann and mostly do strange things like this game.....surprised to see it at this much higher level! :D

At 16:11 Qa5 is also not so good cause you can just get kicked out with b4. Qxb4 can’t happen cause you lose everything, so you gotta move the queen, you lost a move and he just starts gaining space and that knight on b5 keeps being really annoying. Correct me if I’m wrong.

@jongler9775 Жыл бұрын

@@enavantpourlaventure You are speaking specifically about the advance variation of the Caro Kann. From what I understand, white does not take on c5 because it would leave its two central pawns isolated, and even a central pawn deviated from the center to the side ( the d4 pawn moving to c5 ). It doesn't feel like a strong move. Ideally, it is better to keep strong and stable pawns in the center if possible. ( They are here to help your major pieces come to the center and apply pressure on the whole board ).

My new fav youtuber ❤ Maybe you should try 10 minutes rapid for these games or 5 + 2 sexonds?? Allows for more time to explain the ideas. Naroditsky does 15 minutes rapid now and it’s definitely not boring. He used to do 10 minutes but 15 seems to works better. I don’t even play 5 minutes online because I blunder pieces 😂 But with 10 minutes I can get a decent game of chess!!

@yatessnyder1490 28 күн бұрын

jw @34:47, if opponent plays bishop f4 it looks like you have to take with the queen, which their queen can then take b7 pawn followed up by your rook.. Is there some defense to that? I don't get why it'd be necessary for opponent to play their knight e2 before bishop f4. --- JK.. looks like you'd go queen c1 checkmate if they took your pawn..

6:05 - Why can the knight take on d4? I didn't get it. It seems the bishop can capture the rook, but then you loose a knight and a bishop for a rook and a pawn. Not sure if that's a good trade at that point of the game. Is there other tactic I can't see?
