Interesting system for white. As a caro kann player myself, I have never seen this. Great explanations of the typical 'gambit plans' and monster inititative that white often gets in these lines. This is good to know for me as a caro player, so that I will not be surprised if i see it in casual or tournament play. Thanks alex!
Hi Alex, thank you for the insightful video. Watched it twice yesterday morning and beat a 2000+ rated player with it during a tournament in the evening (I'm 1700). Great result!
I've had terrible results against the Caro-Kann, I'll try this system, thanks a lot Alex. Your chess videos, either here or on the ChessFactor channel, are always excellent. Wish you the best.
I just saw your video on reddit. Subbed immediately! I really appreciate that you take the time to explore different lines and explain why they are good or not. I play the caro myself and have never seen this, and I would probably be lost as well. I will go through your videos to learn more! Thanks :)
Glad to hear this Janzimp, cheers for the comment. Hope you enjoy the series - the coverage is far from exhaustive, but hopefully will give you some cool ideas as an e4 player!
Wow, you just gave me a 40-year-old flashback. At a national tournament way back when, Arizona master Robert Rowley beat me convincingly with a Caro Kann. During the post mortem, he showed me this idea. I'd forgotten how most of it went, but after watching your video, I'm pretty sure this was the gist of it. I'm gonna have to give this line further study...
Yeah, nothing helps to understand how poisonous a system is than facing it over the board and finding yourself lost in very few moves as happened to me! Still haven't gotten that game out of my head :/

Thanks, glad to hear you enjoyed and good luck against the system should you ever face it!

It's been a while. Nice to see you again doing videos, GM Astaneh!
Great content. I hope you get more subscribers as you are a hidden gem. Am FIDE 1900 player.
As a caro player, I face this rarely and when I do, I hate it! Good recommendation!
Thanks for these videos 😀
4:10 after bishop to C5 isn't Queen to B3 still good?
thank you!!
Thank you!
For some reason it was such a delicious piece of theory!

Excellent material 👍👍
Hahaha. I studied this line to play in a tournament. After I played Nd2 my opponent played g6. The joys of opening study!
Incredibly good work!
thank´s al lot, I will try it in my Club next time.
Great stuff.
Glad you enjoyed it Sayaf, appreciate it.
Might try this now that I'm finally tired of playing the Sicilian 😅
_Dime si tu sabes_
Good to see you Mr.Brandon, long time! :)
