this is how a chess learning video should be. simple and straightforward. This video style is perfect for learning an opening with simple variations

I've been playing the Caro Kann for months now and this helped me understand it a lot better than studying content that apparently wasn't going into my head properly. Explaining not only what to do, but why to do it, made it so much easier. Once again proving yourself the best short form chess content creator on the platform (and to quote Summer Heights High, SORRY BEN)

You're a legendary chess tutor! What I really like about your videos is you show all the possible starting moves whereas other chess channels will only show one possibility and expect your opponent to do exactly like how they show it.

I really like how you break down the strategy in terms of the goals for individual pieces. It makes the entire strategy more digestible by putting it into smaller bites.

Advanced variation: 1:20
----Play pawn to c4
-If they take or defend play nc6
they defend the e pawn with the knight pin it with the bishop
-If they pin your knight kick it and wait for them to trade or kick it again
-If they kick your bishop take the knight and take the e pawn
the e pawn and attack the c pawn
-If they defend it go ne7 and the nf5 attacking the bishop

Exchange variation: 3:20
-They can play any move and as long as they take its the exchange
both knights out, play bishop f5 or g4 and play pawn e7, develop the other bishop
they play c4 then defend it with the knight

Classical variation: 4:53
of you take and attack the knight with the bishop

i decided it long ago, chesspage1 is my fav chess youtuber

[Cholaspen]

This is some of the best chess content I’ve seen. Other content creators don’t breakdown the “game plans” for pieces like this. Definitely subbing and excited to see what else is to come!

[Conning]

I love the way that you provide missions for the individual pieces. It’s really helpful and learning openings on your channel is so much easier than a Gotham course.

Can’t tell you how much I appreciate this video. Shot up 100 in 24hrs and I’m finally sitting comfortably above 1000. King’s to you Fernand!

[TIJEY-BEG]

The best Caro-Kann video I have ever seen! You are so talented in explaining and video editing. And you are absolutely right. I am not young and handsome anymore, but I got the brains, thanks to you.

[Redskies]

This was excellent. I've been studying and playing the CK for a couple of weeks, but this is the clearest and most practical explanation I've seen.

[Froqqy]

Your videos are perfect! You deserve a lot more attention. Publish 10 more videos like this, and I promise you will be as well known as Gotham!

[neeko]

I love that you explain the goals of the pieces and positions. Us lower level players don’t need to remember a bunch of moves. Just tells us our goals and we’ll (try to) figure it out

[kilian]

This is the first channel where I can really understand the tactics of the openings. Congrats and keep it going!

[niemlodafoka]

"if you like my free videos, you can now pay for them" XD perfection in such a simplicity

Imaginary babe wake up, chesspage1 just uploaded

I've been getting back into chess after about 10 years away from the game. And so I've been checking out tons of content. Lots of Magnus playing blitz which is great, but hasn't really helped me much. THIS is the exact type of thing I've been looking for. Great job of explaining the positions and the theory behind them while being succinct. If I could afford to join I would do so, but I'm subscribing fs and looking forward to more like this. Thank you this was awesome!!!
