I dont like the Caro-kann, from the very start a pawn sets where his black queen knight should be, and is a wasted move
Bobby Fischer thought the Caro-Kann is for losers, I agree!
U
I think Gotham does not know about the hill billy attack against the caro kann. I am always crushing these caro kann players with it hehe. Even Hikaru didn’t know about it once in a stream but it is amazing
❤
Question: at around the 5:30 mark when taking about the advanced variation, you don’t cover what to do if they don’t take your pawn and instead play bishop to b5. What’s the best response to that?
I forgot the opening now I have to rewatch the video
my only issue with the advanced variation is when they pin your c6 knight to your king, preventing you from recapturing the lost pawn at any point. Feels like a very precarious position after qa5# and nc3
So the caro kann is just a black london
34:25 khmm. En passant
18:51, why didnt you take the e5 pawn with your knight, that way if he captured back with knight you can take his queen and you’re threatening his knight. Don’t kill me im just 1,000
doesnt even feel like a 30 minute video man I could watch these all day
when I do black bishop to g4 then I always get countered by white pawn to h3. Can you guys explain why it is bad to counter it using the pawn to h3
I am here for the 5th time in a month because I forgot a line again
but then the knight is left in the center and the queen can take it back, what do i do next?
Watched this video and tried it out. Second mate I use it the guy chats to me saying "average gothamchess enjoyer, giga chad move" I then proceed to be on the back foot the whole game but battle back to take him down. Love it when chatting shit back fires
What am i doing 2:50 when the opponent plays bishop b5 instead of the knight?
Unfortunately… People just try the scholar's mate against whatever the heck I do in my level 😑😑
I stopped playing chess for a very long time (about 12 years).
The place I was living before I moved out, was making me mentally fragile and I stopped doing things I love to do because my head was so tired. Now, I've gained the passion for chess again and you are an amazing teacher and player. I'm 25 years old but it is never too late to become a master. Thank you, Levi.
Why does the queen check take pawn not work? https://youtu.be/ebfzL_GwiIE?t=201
I used to hate Caro kann cuz it's hard to use but now it's pretty good
This video helped me a lot. I am a 800 and managed to beat an 1000 with this opening. Thanks for the help levy 👍
Dose it work with white
This is not helpful at all, i tried all of these variations against Antonio (1500 elo bot) and haven´t won a single time-
great video, you talk cool and motivating !
I tried the Sicilian Defense but then understood that I was not worth it because it has so much theory my head would burst up and still won't get it.I like the Caro-Kann defense because it's you who is teaching.Without much of theory,only the things which is necessary and the fact that this opening relies on our intellect rather than the mainlines
Great content. I just can’t keep up. So fast and hard to understand
I tried this the first chance I got and ran into something the computer labeled 'Hillbily' idk what I did but apparently following your rules of simple developing moves while constantly looking for checks, captures and attacks worked since I won. Sad to say I had 3 mistakes and 4 blunders according to the computer.
When you mentioned the Karpov with …Nd7, …Ngf6 (9:35), I felt like you really needed to warn your viewers about Qe2. 🙂 (For anyone interested: 1. e4 c6 2. d4 d5 3. Nc3 dxe4 4. Nxe4 Nd7 5. Qe2?! Ngf6?? 6. Nd6#)
Thank you for this great video and for great content in general. 🙂
too passive for us. wed rather go for a attack
9:29
good lesson, enjoyed the variation explanation
why not just do en passent on the first part of this video? it would confuse the hell out of the player because they most likely wouldn't know that the move is legal
KAAAAANNNN!
e4? Bitch I play this to ANYthing
every time I bring my knight to C6 as in 2:47 it gets attacked by the enemy bishop and then I have to cover it with my own light square bishop and I cant use it to pin the enemy knight … what do I do with this
If you see this, I want to let you know this is a great and enterteining video about the Caro Kann defense by GhotamChess
23:24 c4 […] can explode your center!
Nice!
05:00 can't you play this defence against d4?
11:30 actually just won a game like this
What if u play against london
Are there any gambits white can play not playing d4 which makes car kann defense useless? Or are there any moves which make caro kann weak ?
11:30 I won the very first game after watching this 😄
wheres the tal variation
15:52 bro that is this 😂😂
Awesome
I love that he calls it “terrifying” 😂
I don't understand it. I'm low Elo and lose 80% of my games. I have much more success with Sicilian
Do you have any B6 videos. I can’t find any
Bro magnus hanging mate is my background on my school computer
