Learn more about the Caro-Kann, as stated on wiki:
The Caro-Kann Defence is a chess opening characterized by the moves:
1. e4 c6
The Caro-Kann is a common defence against the King's Pawn Opening. It is classified as a Semi-Open Game, like the Sicilian Defence and French Defence, although it is thought to be more solid and less dynamic than either of those openings. It often leads to good endgames for Black, who has the better pawn structure. It allows Black to circumvent enormous bodies of theory in 1.e4 openings such as the Ruy Lopez and the Sicilian Defence.
Unlike its sister opening, the French Defence, the Caro-Kann does not hinder the development of Black's light-squared bishop. However, it comes at the cost of a tempo because Black has to play 1...c6 before pushing the pawn to c5, whereas Black can push c7-c5 in one move in the French Defence. White can combat the Caro-Kann in several different ways, often gaining a space advantage; additionally, Black has less mobility and can lag in development.
In the 21st century, grandmasters Vladislav Artemiev and Alireza Firouzja use the opening with regularity, while Ding Liren and Hikaru Nakamura use it on occasion.

YOU'RE THE ABSOLUTE BEST BRO. I JUST CRUSHED AN 1800 WITH 92.3% ACCURACY AND THE BRILLIANT BISHOP SACRIFICE IN THIS LINE. KEEP IT UP MAN!
Yup! Its a very strong line
I don't usually comment but man I had to appreciate you and your work here! I am currently preping for a tournament and wanted a Karo Cann masterclass. I first got to Gotham chess course's free sample but then they were too expensive according to my country's currency and that is where you came in! Amazing explanations with such details in minimal time is absoulutely banger. Keep it up bro.
My pleasure. The caro has been my fav. opening as black vs e4 for the longest time, I am glad I can share what I learned about it!
No joke, after watching this, I have never lost a game where I used Caro-Kann: Tartakower Variation. I'm ~1200 elo so that won't work forever, but wow what a great intro.
Very happy to hear :)
I love this new caro kan series♡
Great to hear!
Won my first game using the sacrifice idea today and it gave me a brilliancy and I played at 95% accuracy. This will definitely be a weapon I use in the future.
Good to hear it :)
Really nice video!
I have recently switched to the Tartakower Variation for faster time controls rather than using the Classical Variation and have, in the last few days, won both of my first two games with the variation:
1. e4 c6 2. d4 d5 3. Nc3 dxe4 4. Nxe4 Nf6 5. Nxf6+ exf6 6. Nf3 Bd6 7. Bc4 O-O 8. O-O Bg4 9. h3 Be6 10. Bb3 Re8 11. Be3 Nd7 12. Re1 Nf8 13. Qd2 Ng6 14. c3 Qd7 15. Rad1??
Bxh3 16. d5 Qg4 17. Kf1 Bxg2+ 18. Ke2 Bxf3+ 19. Kd3 Qe4# (Not best play on either side, but entertaining)
1. e4 c6 2. d4 d5 3. Nc3 dxe4 4. Nxe4 Nf6 5. Nxf6+ exf6 6. Bc4 (Forgacs Variation) Qe7+ 7. Be3 Qb4+ 8. Resigns (Forgacs Forked Bishop Trap)
Nice job!! I am glad to hear and see your wins!
im gonna yoink these for study have a great day
SO OUTSTANDING AND GENEROUS OF YOU! ONE OF THE MOST PRO Ch.s I'M ENJOYING FROM RECENT DISCOVERY OF YOU! I'M A BIT SURPRISED AT YOUR APPARENT AGE TO BE DOING NOT JUST A FANTASTIC PRESENTATION JOB HERE BUT ALSO SO WELL ROUNDED. YOUR HOST DEMEANOR AND PRO PRESENTATIONS ARE AS GOOD AS ANY OF THE MANY CHESS CH.s I'VE EXPLORED OVER THE YEARS. I DON'T USUALLY COMMENT BUT SURE HAD TO HERE AND EXPRESS MY DEEP APPRECIATION FRIEND. BLESSINGS, ... MIKE.
couldnt of said it better
Hey man. I just wanted to tell you: I always disliked playing this variation and only have a 40% win rate with it. I watched your video the other day and today I had this variation again for the first time. I got EXACTLY the kind of kingside attack you showed with sacking on h3 and then nh4 to seal the game. Checkmating in 20 moves. It was the most fun BY FAR I ever had playing this variation.
Thank you so much for the lesson!
So glad to hear. Yes, this variation is so fun and satisfying when it happens :)
Very interesting show different variations deeply in tactics and strategies.good job keep going .
thanks
Thanks a lot. Gonna try to work this in to attack from that Tratakower.
on the slide at 00:10 of the video - it's the "Advance" (not "Advanced") Variation. This due to the planned advance (e2-24-e5) of White's e-pawn in that variation
Your face shape has changed so much since last year
What about bxg6 either before or after white takes the bishop.
Thanks for sharing. Very helpful
SHARING YOUR WORK HERE LIKE MAD!
Amazing. Really helpful
There used to be a 1500 rated bot in athletes Christian Pulisic, I have played against him so many games but I either lost or drawn against that bot. Recently I finally beat this bot using tartakover.
Awesome to hear
Great Video. I was always afraid of the pawn structure and play Cd7 before Cf6. But now I will try it. Thanks!
Cd7? Cf6??
C for Caballo - Spanish for the knight in chess.
@@DrakoLykoi Also French, for Cavalier.
Amazing video
Thank you
Nice video! However I checked this line with the online database and it seems like it is not so easy to get our main setup when White goes for Nf3 combined with an early c4 cause Nd7 oftens runs into d5 issues.
I absolutely loved this video , subbed . I play the caro kaan and play this line all the time but i never knew about this bishop idea to use the pawn as a hook, i have always maintained the pin just as a reflex. (1600)
Yes it is a very practical choice! A lot of people run into it!
Amazing
Good video
Thanks very much
Just loved this M/class
Amazing to hear :)
Great video, very usefull and explained simply!
Thank you :)
bro alian gambit is just fukin good cover that too
Thank you u helped me so much (=
👏
Interesting. But ... the analysis doesn't take into account the best responses from white. Check with an engine and you will see that a big part of the video is pointless
