Day 3 here watching his Caro Kann simplified playlist. Today, fortunately,I gain 50 elo in one day , playing Caro and Vienna all thanks to Alex

The Sherlock Holmes costume 😂😂

always good

" You probably downloaded your tutorial from Brothers" 😂😂

@alexBanzea when will you launch your chessable course of JBL? looking forward to it!

Good..

Hi thank for the vidéo. Bye

Gonna ask out Alex if my crush likes this comment

40:36 missed Knight x f7

good teacher alex ilike the way to teach.

dont know why......i lose 90% of my jobava attempts. i am completely lost after move 10-14 you play 1k elo+ people all the time but my opponents around 800 seem FAR better than they are most of the time. im bouncing for months (a year even?) around 750-850 (doing mostly your caro kann and jobava religiously) and NEVER see anything you ever you ever show past the 10th move. I never get the mid to late game positions you do...opponents rarely allow the pawn storm cuz they dont do the bishop to allow f3. I basically never see that at all. 90% play Bd3 after Nb5 instead of Na3 or e5 so I take with the knight then go a3 and lost every game I played today from there on (lost nearly 150 points today) Mega frustrating.

Alex can you make more videos on facing the Kings or Queens Indian when we start with the Jobava London Setup? Recently I feel like I'm facing them more and more.

Sending kisses from Canada!

Day 2, fourth video watching his Caro simplified playlist, this one is probably the most exciting chess video I see on internet recently. I mean the first game was totally... I've never seen him get almost checkmated in his gameplays. But this time it was different. He managed to survive cuz cheater ran out of time to cheat . And he beat. Second one ,idk what to say he might be a cheater cuz he is playing every moves Alex mentioned and calculated. But only one bad rook move and he's gone.

I had a great Caro Kann game yesterday. I always watch your videos before I play! ;-)

Conclusion here without spoiling the video. Exchange - Simplest one ,just develop normally Tartakower- Popular one but boring variation cuz you go into set up style most of the time Fantasy - Really rare,ive never seen someone played this even in his playlist. You can either get a M7 or GINOURMOUS Fork. Advanced - Most common one and most difficult one but my favourite cuz it's really fun playing. You will see many lines here. In the first main line, your main purpose is to fight central pawn and wait for opponents mistakes. Second one is easier for you you trade and rest is on you.

Day 2,third video watching his Caro Kann simplified playlist,not kuch to say cuz i learnt most of them with his gameplay. However,it should have been my first video to watch before starting this playlist

I sometimes forget Alex is a IM cuz he always play slow and having time trouble. But now i cant even follow

Day 2 second video,watching his Caro Kann Simplified playlist. Today,i played 4 games,three of them were Balck and i used Caro. I won all of them. I jist noticed that in lower rated games , people like to play hillbilly atk, which i think the worst version of caro-kann and some like to hop scholar mate( even in this video). And then its become a ez win

Hey man, im 900, i climbed to 1000 than lost a bit offocus and elo, but i climbed from stuck 850 too 1000 in few days before, i playd ponziani and your opening (maybe not totally like you ) and i have to say it s kind of magical for me , the week i climbed i had like 49 % winrate on the ponziani ... and between 70 and 75 % winning on your opening, too be true i tryed hard much more to learn all the ponziani tricks but i can t remember all the variation and i feel like i kind of trick myself more with it than i trick oponnents, but on this opening i just play always the same maybe 10 moves in a different order and i have good weapon pointed on weaknesses that can be revealed very fast, and if not i have a good game something to exploit to take advantage or at least be equal after 10-15 moves and play and interesting game, so thanks a lot ! (and it feel unstoppable sometimes way below 1700)

Day 2 here watching his Caro Kann simplified playlist. He always made me relieved from my stress from chess after i lost.l cuz of his jokes and overall understanding of the gameplay while chilling

In game 1 near the end, I'm not sure what number the move was because I couldn't see it, a few moves before checkmate, Alex made the move Qf3. If the opponent had've noticed he could have taken Alex's Queen with his King. I was surprised that Alex didn't mention it at the end of the game, maybe he didn't notice. He might mention it later as I haven't finished watching the whole video yet. Just thought I'd mention it as I normally never make comments.

You missed smothered mate two times in the last game 😉

Alex, you had Re2 winning the queen after Bd3, Bb5. You took bishop b5 instead of Re2. But the game was great, congratulations.

Just a heads up, pretty sure the guy in the third game has been banned

Best chess instructor in the world! His intellectual boxing skills are unsurpassed. He knows what every Russian school girl knows, those Romanian guys are smooth operators- lol.

Waouw ! Very good ! You are my favourite teacher !

My favourite part about watching Alex is that he always reminds and explains every single games again and again. Now, i can remember most theory just chilling and watching him

Day 1 third video watching Caro Kann simplified playlist,i came here for Caro but got extra with London. Ive actually never played London before cuz im using Vienna. However,i watched everything to gain extra knowledge and PP size.

Ugh well jeez! That was my problem the whole time, i was getting my chess courses from Brazzers and not IM Alex Banzea!

6:29 usual lifetime advice about spending the budget. Lol. Nice vid as always alex

Day 2 , second video, watching his Caro Kann simplified playlist . I just noticed Caro Kann has many lines and different move order although some line overlap each other after a few moves. I still think Caro is a lot harder than Vienna

I can't help but laugh seeing poor opponents mating themselves

I bro wondering why you got so less comments your content is really great i think you should make a video about the theory' all move plans specifically you will get a lot of veiws ( thanks for these content🤩)

Day 1 watching Caro Kann simplified series. Started my first black opening with Caro. Since im not really familiar with the moves and purpose,i hope i will improve my opening along with this playlist.

Not well played by black. Black's c4 is a blunder because gf+ hurts black's king safety. White get an easy game with lots of attacking possibilities. I've had opponents blunder like this too and it has not gone well for black. Much better is ..f6 by black because this prevents white from moving his knight to g5. Frankly, breaking black open after ..f6 is pretty hard. So I really think the title of this video is kind of silly as - yeah - if your opponent makes a bad mistake yeah, the Jobova is great. But with proper defense by black the Jobova is certainly NOT unstoppable. I would welcome videos that show how to defeat a better black defense.

if alex and levy played the exact same lines i'd learn more from alex's commentary. his ego is wild

Thanks for the excellent content Alex. I've improved after watching you. You are the best.

This man's confidence up one pawn. lol

I bet it won’t!!! But I’ll watch anyway

I don't mean to "brown nose" but I've been crushing from your jobava/caro kann videos. I promise to donate soon (I am still in a building phase with my business)

Alex, you should do a speedrun from 400 to 2000 playing all the openings you recommend in your channel!

24:06 💀💀💀

It's good to know that about babies.

I like his Spock ears, and Romanian playfulness with charm. But I am part Romanian and that’s what all Russian school girls know, watch out for those sweet talkers and their romantic tales. They are bold chess players- lol.

Love the dedication to the castles joke :D I'm tempted to start playing some reg london stuff coming from a solid year w/ the jobava. Some of the ideas seem to transpose pretty well...

you have really improved my chess Ales. Thank you.

why you dont play with at least 1800? 1150... its just zero knowledge people thats why you win

Wait ....Alex banzea which is best opening as white Jobava London or London system or queen's gambit.... please answer elaborately and clearly

5.59.....black bishop d4 which would have pin the b2 pawn with d2bisop and b3 queen
