You can now...check out my Caro course! https://www.chessable.com/the-caro-kann-simplified/course/171080/

I love your jokes man, they make content even more enjoyable. I went from 1250 to 1400 in the last week after implementing your Jobava London suggestions

I have been following Gotham Chess showing the Caro-Kann, describing the lines by there is no "Uhnf." I get nothing out of them. Then I stumble on Alex Banzea Caro-Kann  videos, a Romanian IM form Europe, and and learned so much from him and enjoyed his comments. Comparing the Chess match with actual "LIFE." Alex also explains the game while playing, focusing on the viewer, the person that is watching, the non-experienced player. I use to play the Caro-Kann, yes I know it's back and better now, but I was still not convinced. After watching your CK videos and playing online I am starting again to enjoy it and winning with it. Thank you for your hard dedicated work for the Chess Community. Keep it up! You have earned my subscription  and likes 🙂👍.

Your channel took me from 900 to 1150 using Caro-Kann in black with 60% win rate. It's now fallen back to 1100 because I'm trying out different things and doing careless stuff but thanks!

My favorite video of yours was when you skipped all traps and just (almost) pre-moved standard opening Caro-Kann at <1500 and every opponent literally self destructed.

You're the hippest cat in all of chessdom brother, I love your videos more for you and your character than even the lessons.  So good.  You are clearly the only person in chessdom that warrants a night out on the town on my dime - if i ever get to Romania, it would be an honour to kick it with you!

The a6 idea in classical variation is a phenomenal move. As a caro-kann player, you want to enjoy a nice slow, positional game and getting into the Tartakower I've noticed can get uncomfortable pretty fast. Using a6 as a waiting move is awesome as it allows you to transpose back to an advanced or exchange kind of structure and the move certainly doesn't hurt at all as being a caro-kann player you should know a6 is a very helpful move as your ultimate goal will be the c5 break and a6 protects the b5 square from knight jumps.

Alex Banzea, professional comedian and chess enthusiast! 😂

Thank you Alex! Yesterday I tied for first in my section of a USCF tournament. Three games were Caro-Kanns.  Your ideas won me some prize money. 😊

Love the content dude

I love doing these weird out-of-theory moves, almost as much as i hate playing against them.

I love magnus' weird Q.a5+ Check in the Fantasy caro kann, as he played during his 9 win-in-a-row tournament. I did it the day after he did it, and i completely finished a guy all across the board, then wiped it down.

can't wait for the caro kann chessable course. I'm gonna study it harder than my final exams 17 years ago.

Love the Videos Alex keep them until 2500!

Thanks Alex!  The Jobava London and Caro Kann videos are fantastic!

27:50: What a scream. So simple and effective but so unusual us wood-pushers would hardly consider it. Ah well; some cats got it, some ain't.

BROTHER i really love your jokes so much and your accent makes it better. i went to 1200 to 1400 because of your teaching thank you:}

Mid July , good to hear!
