      There is quite plenty of it in old videos, not that I'm against, I'm for it, but this humble dog wants to learn new trick's, so as refreshment on old ones.

      They sound so weird in English; but these metaphors are common ways to communicate in Romania 😂. They bring me back to Christmas dinners with the family when that uncle who thinks he’s cool drinks a bit too much and loses his filter when imparting “heartfelt advice” 😂
      Merci @AlexBanzea for the great content! ❤

    Alex!! I almost cried today! I played the Jobava London just like you told us. He went for the bishop / knight to c2 “gambit”. I sac’ed the queen just like you told us AND I skipped my little knight to c7, JUST LIKE YOU TOLD US. HE PULLED HIS KING OUT AND I FKING CHEKMATED HIM WITH MY WHITE BISHOP! ALEX IT WAS BEAUTIFUL! MY HEART IS POUNDING! GOD BLESS YOU AND GOD BLESS ROMANIA!!!! AND GOD BLESS JOBAVA!

    Congratulations for the Award! 🙏
    I have a request: it would be great if you could cover an alternative in the advance variation, instead of 3. ... c5 3. ... g6 which I think is a fine approach as well, especially for an intermediate player, as soon as he understands the basic ideas. Hikaru has tried this in Blitz Games and won, so it looks like a sound opening. (Of course Hikaru is not an intermediate player, before Somebody misunderstands my comment...)

Main reason is I m startign to find Caro boring. Any advice to make it
    more entertaining ?

  • @cominoengenharia
    @cominoengenharia Місяць тому

    what I'm really impressed is that my 600-700 elo opponents (in blitz) give me more trouble, and have usually 80-90% precision against my Caro Kahn (I'm doing the course now for 3 months, 46 variations studied). But those in the 1000s that I see in the videos seem to play quite confortable for black, and manage to blunder a lot.
