I have started playing the Caro-Kann a while ago and without knowing too much theory yet, it feels very safe to play. The only downside so far is that I seem to end up in a lot of Q+R endgames which I find hard to play, especially on the internet on low time controls.
One thing is missing in my opinion. In the exchange variation after 4. Nf3 playing 4. ... - Bg4 right away seams natural (because we would like to. support d5 pawn with e6 asap), but it gives small advantages to white. So here a principle "knights before bishops" should be followed. I learned it hard way.
@@BadBishopChess Well, i feel overhelmed with the Answer E5 for example, wich is often recommended for newer players. there is such a high amount of gambits and tricks black needs to know...
I meant the openings a player of 1750 FIDE is able to understand and play. However, if we are discussing the question of which opening is saving time and is most practical for a busy player, then I would not recommend 1...e5 for the reason you mentioned. I would say Caro-Kann saves a lot of time, while Sicilians are also a good choice. Next is French. And if you really want to narrow down, possibly explore the Scandinavian, or Pirc. However, my top is Caro-Kann in any case.
Hello man my chess rating stuck in 1200 elo I solve daily puzzles and play games and analyse them still not improving which opening should I play and how can I improve my game and rating
if you play rapid/blitz only, that may be one of the reasons. It is often seen that people get stuck at around that level, which means it is asking for more time and patience. I would recommend you to check the books such as Logical chess: Move by move (Chernev), and Chess: The art of logical thinking (Neil McDonald). There is no need to focus on any opening studies at this point.

Look for Capablanca's games. He played a lot of Caro Kann games and the endings are amazing. A good book about those endings is Irving Chernev's one.
Great video, keep up the content -lichess blog reader & avid daily player
Fantastican video, igram dosta Caro Kann i nikad nisam razumeo kako da odgovorim na pesak e5 od belog, ali ovaj video mi je dosta pomogao :)
@@kenqz2623 Hvala 🙂
Veoma mi je drago da ste pisali ovo kao blog na lichess pošto sam tako i otkrio kanal. Veoma lepo objašnjeno, samo napred.

@@Shakenbeer Well noticed!
The instructions are very easy to understand. I hope you will make more videos about each option of the white.
Wich opening for black against E4 is 5/5 stars for a weaker casual player (Fide 1750 Elo) like me? Can you recomment an opening?
A player of 1750 FIDE should be able to play any (sound) opening. Just dedicate enough time and practise in classical time control games.

@@BadBishopChess tq man if you don't mind can we play daily chess
Another great video. I have started to play the Caro OTB but I am still struggling. On the web my average is 46% wins.
No, no. A beginner has to play .....e5 and develop a piece on each move.
