- Most top players play the Caro-Kann because it leads to solid positions with a superior pawn structure.

Need a sparring partner? go.noctie.ai/ha... Try playing against Noctie. Unlike the engine, it's going to challenge you like a normal human would.
A typical Caro-Kann game in which black got a very solit structure, and white risked a lot to create chances. That is always a bad idea!

So should i quit the caro or not. Please clarify LULE
I have a love-hate relationship with it. Every true love is turbulent:D You have to decide for yourself, but I think I'll add new defenses to my repertoire and keep playing the CK every now and then.
play the opening you enjoy the most and the one where you get the most comfortable positions. If the caro is not doing that for you then play something else
I would say it depends more on personal preference. As long as you don't wanna be an insanely good player you could one trick the caro kann as it is really solid. I for myself (as a hobby player) wann to play other defenses too that are more aggressive (but this is mostly because I find it boring to play the same defense in every fucking game).
@@HangingPawns Not a bad idea to keep playing the caro against players that play the lines you enjoy. Can always play something different if classical variations are what bother you.
LULE? Is that a baj I spy?
as a coffee enthusiast, I am very glad you have better tasting coffee now. Good coffee and good chess go hand in hand from my experience.
Absolutely!!!!
Stjepan, how did your English get so good? As a former ESL teacher it's a pleasure listening to you.
Very solid game, it's interesting how 2400 elo opponent on lichess can completely crumble in a seemingly easy to draw endgame. Shows how important it is to play till the end, be patient and wait for your chances. GG
I think the opponent was worried about time and knight vs bishop with pawns on both sides. I suspect that is why they tried to a cunning way to liquidate pawns with g5, as incorrect as it was
Caro-Kann isn't offering good counterattack, it is good for draw, but all the game black need to play boring (defending) chess
This coffee addict basically went 180° on the caro kann
He She or They. 😂
It would help if you would slow down your "forward thinking" because for me you talk too fast when articulating future moves, I cannot follow without replaying the video, but thanks for everything Caro-Kann!
I hate vinegar also, but if you run it with vinegar, then run it like 4 times with water (don't add coffee and throw away what comes out), it will wash the vinegar taste out.
nothing like a hard fought game vs higher rated opponents to bring a smile, ggwp
You should do a video just analyzing one of the games, would really apreciate seeing how it is done
Great to hear about the coffee machine. Set a reminder every 6 months or so to descale.
What do you think of the 2 Knights?
GO STJEPAN GO GO GOOOOO
Hell yeah
it would be kinda interesting to see a video from you doign nothing but analyzing a game youve played
Check out his reviews of tournament games - that’s exactly this.
There was quite a few of these over the last couple of months.
Lol we're having the strom in Hungary too
It was mad here. It's finally over now.
What about Bc2 at 9:24 ?
rc1 ba4 b3 and you've only allowed white to develop without making any progress yourself
i have some advice that would make it much easier to climb to 2500, set the opponent rating range to: from -50 to +500. It is easier to climb when you are always playing higher rated player.
This can be difficult when looking for rapid games at this rating. The player pool is too small
@@kylen6430 i am slightly higher rated than Stepan, i am 2380 and i find games quite easily, although i guess 15 + 10 is tougher to find games than 10 + 0.
@@Sparta-hg1pl it is. You will frequently see him be happy that opponent makes a move because he is often waiting several minutes for a game only for it to be aborted
I often wait 30+ minutes. It would be even worse if I did that.
Glad you won because your opponent seemed quite rude.
I have no problem with people playing on when there’s a fighting chance - but that wasn’t what they were doing - which at your respective levels is quite insulting!
It’s the sort of thing I’d expect at my lowly level.
But Stjepan was having fun exulting in his win. If your opponent wants to prolong his pain I don't see the problem. It's not like he was taking minutes between moves.
