In this video of the Caro-Kann Defense series, IM Alex Astaneh is going to be covering the Classical Variation in the Caro-Kann Defense. After the initial moves 1.e4 c6 2.d4 d5, white can either continue with the move 3.Nc3 or with 3.Nd2. After that, black will recapture on e4 with 3…dxe4. White takes on e4 with 4.Nxe4 and black has several options to continue:
0:40 4…Nd7, Karpov Variation
0:46 4…Nf6, Tartakower Variation / Bronstein Variation
1:15 4…Bf5, Classical Variation (Mainline)
The main focus of this video is on black's response with 4...Bf5, the Classical Variation.

Finally a channel that uses a real board
Glad that you like the real board as much as we do!
@@Chessfactor I like the real board also. In fact, the whole video is well done. I'm going to check your website out for sure.
Very well done video. Speaker is easy to understand and presents the reasoning behind each move very well. Really helped to understand the classical variation. Hope there are more videos on other variations as well.
We are pleased to hear that we could help you with the comprehension of the Classical Variation. If you are interested in other variations of the Caro-Kann Defense, we can recommend you our opening course on the Caro-Kann that you can find on our website. Here is a link to it: www.chessfactor.com/courses/246/description/
Definitely. Even though English is my second language I understand them all
It is amazing how close the classical variation of caro-cann is to the scandinavian defence setup. I play them both against e4, but scandi leads to these type of lines more often, because white rarely plays this way against the caro, but very often they take very classical aproach against the scandi. The advance-theory seems to be more popular with caro-kann.
Yeah I play Caro Kann alot I would say mostly get 50% exchange 30% advance 20 % everything else.
Thank you IM Astaneh for delivering such an instructive and concise lecture. This to me sets the gold standard for how chess video lessons should be. Cheers from Brazil!
Thanks so much for this video! It helps that you speak so clearly and calmly, keep it up!
Really liked this video. I'm in the middle of such game right now.
Glad to hear that you liked the video. Hope your game ended well for you.
cheater!
I'm usually hesitant to play the classical line of Caro Kann because of h4 thrust, I usually play h5 but it creates too many weakness and threats, I'm going to try playing h6 from now on
Let us know how it pays off!
Thanks a lot ! It's great !
Great video I crush when I play this opening now
You're videos are so good 👍🏼
Amazing video, I learned so much!
Great video
Great video!!
Trying to learn deep the caro kann, you made it easier !
Outstanding. Thank you.
Watching this series so I can finally break this defense as white, lol. I figure the Advance Variation might be my best bet. Thanks for the videos!
This is a great video. Really instructive, and delivered in a clear, concise way.
Thanks!
@@Chessfactor how do i locate the pgn on the chessfactor site i clicked on everything and cannot find the pgn to your carokhan videos
love this channel
Fantastic video, I learned a lot. It is very well explained.
Glad to hear that. Hope you like our other videos as well!
You are the best teacher i ever seen🎉
Hi there!
I'm new subscriber of Your channel...my compliments!
Keep going & best regards
Thanks for subscribing and welcome on board!
Caro kann is my main appetizer!
Good video 👌👌😄
You are an excellent teacher. Thank you.
Thank you!
The pgn file doesnt have any notarions? 11:58
Hi! I was wondering if it's possible to make a specific video about the Karpov variation, as there isn't much material about it available.
Hey there, great video once again, i just have a question about blacks light squere bishop. So we know why it is good and even better to develop it and exchange it if white will challange it, but what about fianchetto? Also in French def. is it bad idea to fianchetto this bishop if we know that it can be really passive sometimes?
Thanks
thanks
Excellent teaching video. Is there a way I could play training games with caro kann. Thank you for any suggestions
good joup i like it!
Great to hear that.
Muy bueno ☺️
Hi, I could not find the PGN you mentioned on your website (which is pretty nice!). Can you direct me where to find it? There is a PGN file but it only shows the moves yu played and not game between Magnus vs Leko is there for example. Thanks!
terima kasih bro
from Indonesia
The best Caro Can Video! Are pgn files available for free too?
10:57 If instead of c3-c4 black plays b3 threatening the queen it's neither exchanging pieces and also gaining space. How to dealt with it?
Please make video on any thinking method in chess
We will add it to our list!
3:08 at this point the explanation is not clear,because the c6 pawn falls
Awesome video, just request you to make another video on same topic but in more detail till 16-17 moves and clear the concepts accordingly as you did in this video.
As there are still many concepts not clear in h4-h5 and Ne5 with h5 as that are the most drastic ones, further in this same variation white plays his bishop to c4 too instead of d3 also.
And please cover the attack like h4-h5 and then g4-g5 in more detail, kindly.
Glad to hear that you like the video! Thanks for your input to cover the lines you mentioned in more detail in a separate video. We will consider that for future recordings. Stay tuned!
first day learning the caro-kann
Do you plan on going over the other variations, like the advanced?
We will definitely upload another video on the Caro-Kann series. We were busy with filming and creating new content, also for the website. There you can already find the complete Caro-Kann series.
Can't see those white pieces on white squares. Great analysis. Need a set with higher contrast.
For a while, we are using a wooden chess board which has a better contrast. Check out the series about Opening Gambits or the French Defense. We have already pre-recorded several videos with the green-white board and therefore some more videos with this board will be published. However, for future recordings we will stick to the wooden board. Stay tuned!
i believe the modern idea is h5 instead of h6, for more space control
Do you have any games / instruction against 1/e4..c6 2/d4..d5 3/Nf3..de4. 4/Ne4..Bf5 5/Ng3..Bg6. 6/ f4... followed by Nf3 I am looking at opening lines, but not a lot on it... I got destroyed recently playing against it...
I don't understand why we shouldn't play the line with h4, h6, Nf3, Nd7. What's the difference between the pawn on e6 and the Knight on d7 lines?. at 4:39
nvm. he explained it at 27:18
Alex, at 11:16, why not take the black queen with the knight and keep the ability to castle kingside?
Oops, should've kept watching. Pawn storm on kingside.
I am waiting for Alekhine defense😍
We will put the Alekhine Defense definitely on our list for future recordings.
@@Chessfactor caro kann is best
Can you coach me the lessons on the book dvoretsky endgame manual
Alex is offering private lessons. Just contact him via Lichess: lichess.org/coach/AstanehChess and then you will see if he can help you. Best regards.
@@Chessfactor thanks ill count on it
Bro where is png file 😅 I can't find
Really usefull video for caro kann players I would request you to post another video in more detail till 15 to 17 moves which helps us a lot
Why is it so important not to play ...Kd7 after h4. After an ...e3 we need to play ...Kd7 sometime anyway...
Pls. Convert into a Digital Board computer. Your content is very useful if it in a Digital flatform
how do i find the pgn on the chessfactor website
?
