just got back into chess after 30 years off since my 6 yo daughter showed interest after learning the basics at school. wasn't to teach her caro on black and London on white. thanks for the content
I always like how you keep going and going and going. After taking 2 pawns you dont reinforce or sit back, your first thought is to strike somewhere else. Something I have to learn to to more often.
love watching your videos, you have a gift for chess for sure ! so exciting to see you beat all these bullies who have no idea who they’re dealing with :D 🔥
Found your channel since a couple of weeks. Really appreciate the content you are posting! Similar to the opening I play myself so I learn a lot about it!
At 36:12 why not go Qa8+ forcing either the rook to block and then Qxa7 for a free pawn or Ke2 losing castling rights and blocking his bishop and still able to pick up the pawn with Bxa7?
A year later and back to watch one more time . I have recently also started making content on the opening. The one thing that is slightly frustrating when watching the videos ( even though I like them so much ) is that you find moves, even I, a 1400, wouldn’t find maybe one day we can link up and make contact together, and I can explain to you what it’s like to think like a lower rate player Lol
Thanks for your videos. London system and Caro-Kann seems so easy with your lessons. But what if : 1.e4 ç6, 2.d4 d5, 3. exd cxd, 4.f4. !!? Nf6, 5. Fd3 Nç6, 6. Nf3… My engine propose a plan with 6…g6, 7 0-0 Bg7, 8 ç3 and Bf5… Very strange plan, and f4 is really annoying and very often played. Do you have some recommandation ? Thanks !
Nope. He took a think and explained that two pawns up was enough. 35:52 The goal at that point was either to trade queens or to attack while the op. king was stuck in the center.

These are the two openings I use and love them!,. I feel like both are strong and ez to set up

The skewer on 5:16 🥲
Sorry, 5:25, I think Ba3 wins a rook no?
lead an active life, then you can have some snacks 😂😂😂
Your first opponent is my fellow Filipino ,,🇵🇭
Was Qa1+ overlooked on 36:13?
Nope. He took a think and explained that two pawns up was enough. 35:52 The goal at that point was either to trade queens or to attack while the op. king was stuck in the center.
Bxa3 at 5:15?
That loses the bishop?
