    Thanks to these videos I’m now caro kann instead of caro kant 😂

    You’re an absolute legend mate! Started about 2 months at 100 and am now approaching 900 because of your vids! Thanks so much man!! Cheers

    I always hated the fantasy variation until I learned these lines. So satisfying now 👍🏻

    Just got to 1000 today after two months of playing. I've been playing a lot of London and caro kann thanks to your videos! Working on adding a few more openings to my arsenal now! Thanks Alex!

    I originally came for the London content but stayed once you introduced me to the Caro-Kann. I’ve never played it before but am up 200 ELO since adding it to my repertoire. So now it’s 400 😝

    I love your courses! need to learn more about the vienna I know it's covered in the e4 ones just waiting for a good sale cause I got too many already :)
    It's weird how I built a repertoire obver the years and then in your courses every variation is basically what I play but more in depth and with all the ideas it's like it was built for me

    You should do a rating climb with your Scandinavian Gambit so we can see some end games. Great course on Chessable!

    It is a comment on wei yi for me.
    Benzae saw it coming .
    He is now terrorising the chess World.
    Wei Yi is a legend.
    He won tata Steel and now he is leading the tournament where magnus is playing

    I love your video, its simple and i can follow the move until middle game, but my end game is very bad 😂

    Woo, after spinning right 'round, right 'round, we're back to theoretical lines. Had the vid playing in the background, will have to rewatch it more closely - especially that dreaded Fantasy variation.

    Hi Alex, Thanks for the excellent content. I'm a Supporter in Discord as well and am requesting you please consider longer time choices for your games. I'd rather get more from each one rather then more games at a faster time set. Thank You! ... Mike.

    Curious why checking on f2 first and then taking the knight on g1 is bad (as in the 1st game - Fantasy var). Thanks again Alex for these great CK videos. My CK game has never been better otb.
    I'm curious why Panov-Botvinnik attack seems so rare by lower

    IM Alex can u please do a rating climb only with the mighty caro......but dont make the commentary long but take us thru the moves as the game progreeses like your dear freind gotham does.......sometimes the talk gets too much n we lose focus on the game. If u do hear me,your followers will increase ten fold which we all want.
