In this video of the Caro-Kann Defense series, IM Alex Astaneh is going to be covering the Advance Variation in the Caro-Kann Defense. After the initial moves 1.e4 c6 2.d4 d5, white advances his pawn by playing 3.e5 and we enter the Advance Variation of the Caro-Kann. Black typically responds with 3...Bf5 and from here, we will discuss several continuations and options for black after white's fourth move:
2:55 4.h4, Tal Variation
7:40 4.Nc3, Van der Wiel Attack
16:56 4.Nf3, Short Variation

Many of you asked us to add an additional 2D board. Here it is 😊. It is the first time we added a 2D board to our 3D recordings. Let us know if you like it and if you want us to add the 2D board also to the other videos already available on the channel.
The additional 2D screen is a good idea. I had asked once if it would be possible to make the lectures using basically computer screen. Just for a trial.
@@bulentkirca3311 i actually enjoy the real pieces
In our opening videos we generally try to show the plans and ideas for both sides. We believe that you can also get useful information from other openings like the French Defense, that could be beneficial for your play with the black pieces. However, we will also consider your wish to focus a bit more on the black perspective for future recordings.
Yes, it give so much more data and also it increases accuracy with the arrows. thank you
We love it.
Beautiful demonstration of an opening I have so far understood very little of. One thing though: Why is the seemingly natural move c3 to bolster White's centre not even mentioned? Also: is f4 instead of Nf3 possible? I've played that move a couple of times with reasonable success, but maybe just because my opponents didn't always know how to respond in the most forceful and efficient way. And yes, we players at club level tend to be very happy to exchange that annoying Bishop off asap! This said: I don't think I have ever responded to 1.e4 with c6, for my part relying on the French, with its often awkwardly placed light square Bishop. Thanks again for bringing such clarity to the subject!
thank you very much
very goooood
me thinking the advanced caro-kann variation is simple...
Thanks so much Alex, Your style of insights so ties ideas together in a comprehensible digestible way that always proves insightful my friend. All your Works are greatly Appreciated. I've wanted such insight on the C.K. for a long time. Blessings from Oregon Pal & Thank You!! ... Mike.
We are pleased to hear that you liked the video and that we were able to deliver what you were looking for. Hope you like the other videos on the Caro-Kann as well. Stay tuned!
i play the caro khan on lichess @chessoptcs can you look at y losses and make some suggestions specifically against dabo500 also on lichess thank you
Thank you very much Alex.I like your channel
Another insightful video. A very relaxed and soothing voice; I nearly expect a meditation exercise any second!
This has to be one of the best explained (if not THE best) and thorough chess theory videos I've watched! I like your use of an actual chess board to demonstrate, as well. Easier to follow and grasp, in my opinion. Pls add that to all videos (if not already done)!
The CARO - KANN DEFENSE IS THE BEST DEFENSIVE SYSTEM 💯 HIS SISTER IS THE FRENCH DEFENSE 💯 even Grandmaster find it BULLETPROOF 💯
Very Very good video. I've been playing the caro-kahn at the 1000 rating level without having done much research into the theory of the advanced. I've been playing c5 against it because its what Gotham Chess recommended, but I don't think I really understood it properly so I figured I'd look into the main line and see if I could find some basic ideas. Not only did I find a video with those basic ideas that I could learn in 10 minutes, but also 25 more additional minutes of ideas to prepare even better. After watching this video I've gotten significantly better at surviving in the opening with black, which for someone of my rating is something that is getting pretty important now that my tactics have improved and I've become somewhat competent.
My only complaint from this video is that when explaining a given line you went off and small tangents explaining other lines for a second briefly which was a tad confusing. If you could really focus on one line at a time a bit more this would go from very very good video to perfect video.
I always respond with bishop d3
If white plays h4 its best black plays h5
At 11.32 if the night takes on b7 won't it cause real issues for black?
You guys deserve more views. Thanks for doing a vid on my main defense!
Looking forward to a vid on the Benoni if you have it planned. I've been having a lot of fun trying that one.
The 2d board is also a nice addition though i prefer the real pieces.
You are welcome! Of course we will also consider the Benoni Defense for future recordings as others asked for that opening as well. Stay tuned.
I think it's impossible to watch this video and not start playing the caro kann instantly 🤠
Thanks very much for the instructive video. A very good job indeed.
Is it good to use the Caro kann as white? i'm looking for a universal opening that is good. Can be used for black and white. I'm new in learning chess.
You cannot choose to play the caro kann as white, it's a black opening against e4
You can try the London, Italian or the king's Indian for white
How do you guys manage to coordinate otb chess moves on 2D screen so smoothly??? What's the software or trick that getting used here??
Excellent analysis. Especially about how to take care of the light square bishop. I often get caught in whether to play h6 or h5. The explanation gave me a lot of clarity!!
Glad to hear that we could help you.
Great analysis. I transcribed it with some difficulty, but with a few rewinds it was not that hard. I would suggest listing the suggested moves and maybe some of the side lines in the description.
Wow, great video. This is very helpful!
29:43 Be3. Stops c5. Indeed it looks like Be3 is a good idea in several places but it is not discussed in the video?
Great video otherwise though!
Big help master,great explanation,im a caro-kann player,often encounter the situation
Thanks for you nice comment and we are glad to hear that you liked the video!
Thanks..more videos about carokann..i want this kind of tutorial...thank you very much
Don't worry! More videos with interesting Caro-Kann variations will come 😉.
Thank you.. God bless your channel...
thank you for the lesson, super helpful than other chess opening tutorials out there.
Glad to hear that you enjoyed the lesson. Stay tuned for the upcoming videos of the Caro-Kann Defense!
caro kann advance with both 3 ....c5 and 3..... Bf5 is so fun to play with both colors
Why is it dangerous to play Ng8 at 11:34? You even take with check and black looses the right to castle?
Very much good Instruction video.
Thanks
Glad you liked it!
Love this Video. Thanks!
I thought Anthony Davis was playing chess but I was wrong.
I didn't know that Anthony Davis became an International Master 🤔
Thank you for the great content! It will definitely help me improve my caro-kann. Also, I gotta say you are quite easy for the eyes, which is a real bonus!
@ 19:45
why not play bg6 instead of h6? (before the white knight move)
You respond to e6 with Qd6 and take the pawn with your king if he takes. The game goes on and is equal with engine lines but very messy and hard to figure out in the center.
2D and 3D perfect
Massively good this complete explanation about Caro-Kann> Advance Variation.
I'm playing Black Pieces: 1.e4c6 2.d4d5 3.e5Bf5 4.Nf3e6 5.Bd3Bg4, The difference here is that looks like the clubbing game you mentioned, but I pin the Knight with bishop and contnue with your ideas of pawn to c5 and gain control over the centre of the board with bishop Bc5 and then Knight and Queen as you prepared the information.
Thank you very Much.
-Alex David
Glad to hear that you liked the video and that you found it instructive. Is the Caro-Kann your first opening choice when playing with the black pieces or do you have also other openings in your repertoire?
@@Chessfactor The most frequent I use is the Sicialian Defence and its variations, Old Benoni and recently I started to experiment with French Defence, Advance Exchange Variation. But like Russians I returned back to the one I feel more comfortable playing black pieces The Caro-Kann
And what do you do if Bd3 -- the clubbing move! -- is played before Nf3?
thanks, that was very helpful!)
love caro-kann defense so much :D
Very good, clear, informative discussion. thank you
Happy to hear that you liked the video!
'therefur' combined with 'now the bishop is coat' makes me think Alex' ancestors could be pro trappers :p
First time seeing your channel. Outstanding work. The clarity of your explanations is superb. It’s the way you keep “centered” around a key position, show the variations, but then come back to show the preferred way. Compared to others your approach is much easier to follow. And yes, the real board really works. I wouldn’t have thought so but it adds a dimension that improves upon what others are doing.
Great work and thank you.
all i wanna say is that the Nc3 gambit pawn looks so dangerous
Nice concise and insightful overview. Easily digestible for my tiny brain. Cheers!
Thanks
Ty davis
does white not consider c3 to support d4 and create a strong pawn chain?
Thanks. It is a very useful video.
Glad it helped you!
I'd love this if only I got more of the advance variation . This man barely shows it
How do I access the PGN being referenced?
Great video mate, thanks heaps for taking the time to create it!
Thank you this is very good
You're welcome!
Tal variation is interesting and power to employ in !
Real pleasure to discover your channel and subscribed, that a perfect way to easily build a repertoire especially for a beginner like me, in fact, my English is bad but I can understand everything because the explanation is so clear! Thanks you so much for your work
thanks a lot, this is what i am looking for all of my life, basic knowledge and ideas behind the moves in the opening, i am not good in the opening but my fide rating is already 2000, my problem is that if i am playing against higher rated opponent, i got easily lost because of their opening advantage, again thanks a lot, i learned a lot from your video
I have also some problems with the opening-theory :D. I agree, the videos are really instructive. Thank you sir.
Thank you too.
We are happy to hear that we could help you with this video. Hopefully it pays off in some your future games. Stay tuned.
Fide rating? That too 2000? How? Please reply in depth. Thank you in advance.
Thanks for this quality covering of the Advance variation :)
can i ask, where can i find the pgn? nice video btw
Brilliant!
This is a fantastic introduction and cool recommendations! Thank you, Alex! :)
My rating went up from 1300 to 1500..thank you
Alex, thank you very much.
I'm 1900 and I lose if I play against the Tal variation this video has been very useful in my studying against the Tal variation
Good to hear that the video helped you for your study.
Wonderful content!!! Keep it up
Can do make videos on Slav Defense
We are happy to hear that you like our content! We will try to make a video about the Slav Defense at our next recording session. Stay tuned!
@@Chessfactor Thank you!!
Fantastic coverage of the Caro Kann.
can guys do tal variation in detail?
As someone who takes too long in the opening (and is a relatively new and weaker player) this is all fantastic support. Thanks.
You have a radio voice oh my gosh 😊
thanks for the caro-kann alex
You're welcome!
What a good teaching style
Thank you for the thorough and easy-to-follow explanation!
Thanks, keep the great work
What do you do against f4 (e4 c6 d4 d5 e5 c5 dxc5 kc6 f4) plz answer
Qa5+ and win the pawn
Thank you for this. I think you are a really good teacher and explain everything with proper structure to it. Continue making such videos.
Would love some videos on Danish Gambit. 😊
We are happy to hear that you liked the video and the proper structure of the content. The Danish Gambit is already on our recording list 👍.
@@Chessfactor Looking forward to it 😊
Hi Alex, First a Grand Thank You for Your Host Demeanor, Style & Logic in effectiveness in giving excellent help to us who strongly want to peruse the K.C. I've asked other Creators to please help me in utilizing the PGN Files but that never happens. Perhaps other Masters at your level feel I should know or figure it out for myself but I've been unable to. I'm 65 and could sure use a pointer in utilizing PGN File Study. Is there a software for this you recommend or please, could you take just a moment to show me the ABC's of getting use from them. Once taken by the hand the 1st time, I'll be set! I've wanted to dive further into the K.C. via this method. As you offer it, wont you please help seeing me through? Thank You as I deeply appreciate all your Ch. offers. With Much Thanks and Warm Regards from Oregon! ... Mike.
Hi Mike, we are happy to assist you. Basically, what we can recommend is the study feature that lichess provides (lichess.org/study). There you can create your own repertoire like the Caro-Kann Defense. You could for example upload the pgns from our website and analyse the variations with a chess engine. You can also add your own comments to the moves or add new lines to the existing ones. Hope that helps.
@@Chessfactor Very Much So, and you even included the link. Thank You ever so much as it's greatly appreciated!

Well done.
Thanks. We are glad to the hear that!
h4 best move.
Hi Alex, it seems this variation of the opening will lead black into the ground especially if your not a strong player🤣...am I wrong in thinking this?
I would agree, it us rare to see the breyer variation. Ad a caro kann player I seldom see it. However when facing bots, there is one chess bot that plays it allot.
really instructive video, do you plan to cover the exchange variation as well?
Glad you liked the video. The Exchange Variation is only exclusively available on our website or on Patreon. Check it out!

terima kasih
where could I can find the mentioned pgn file? :)
You can find the pgn in the video description.
Does not make sense to let opponent castle white should take with knight to check king imeediately
very good, very sharp and profoundly concise. ✌👌
Hows it dangerous if it comes with check?????
19:37 Nf7 main line
the pgn file is not working
plz tell how to use it
Thanks for your comment. Please check again, if you can now import the pgn e.g. at lichess.org. Let us know it it worked. Thanks
@@Chessfactor thanks for the reply but the side variations are not appearing on the imported game in lichess.org only the mainline is appearing plz reply as i dont want to lose this amazing resource which would serve me for years in my chesslife.
Dude… the mic’d up deep swallows ruin this video.
This treatment of the Advance is too advanced for me!
I'm so scattered shot when it comes to chess openings, that I'm choosing this one and sticking to it to memorize and other Caro-Kann defense variations. In games, I know a little bit of the semi-slav and at least two variations. Now I will learn the Caro-Kann and surprise my opponents, since I'm a beginner and don't expect much folks to know it at that level.
thank you so much
A great video on the advanced Caro-Kann with valuable comments on the moves in a very sympathetic manner 😀 I liked very much.
Where is the pgn file?
Excellent points and ideas in the Short variation.
Glad you liked the video and the explanations!
Amazing content. This was a much help. Thank you!!
We are happy to hear that you liked this variation in the Caro-Kann Defense. Hope you like the other variations of the Caro-Kann as well. Take care!
@@Chessfactor any intent on uploading a Catalan course to your site? The Caro-Kann course(s) are magic! I really appreciate you guys. I’m definitely going to be a supporter.
We will soon upload an opening course about the Catalan opening on our website. However the course will include the same videos that we have already published on our UA-cam channel. You can check the playlist where you can find 4 videos covering the Catalan opening. If you have any proposals about missing Catalan variations that should be added, please let us know. Thanks!
This is just what I was looking for. The depth was amazing, yet easily understandable. Now for part 2. This video showed replies to whites best moves. Part 2 can give ideas on taking advantage of whites less than best moves. Just an idea of the direction to go.
The 2D board can help, but the 3D view is really clear. The pauses after a move are important because often, following along, a viewer is seeing the move on screen, then looking at her board to make the move there, then looking back at the screen. So a slight pause is good.
👍👍👍👍👍
Great that you enjoyed the video!
@@Chessfactor it was amazing😎😎😎
