You make me laugh every video and those silly analogies you make really help me remember how and why to respond. Thank you for another excellent Caro video!

1400 rated, I see the hillbilly all the time. Just started your London Course, can't wait to do the Caro course when it comes out. Then we just need a course for black against D4 and we are ready to become GMs.

I don’t always watch a YT video from start to finish, but when I do it’s because it’s one of Alex’s super instructive videos.

Best chess teacher on YouTube. Top content. Bit of a philosopher/comedian as well. Seems you're gradually turning into the David Brent of the chess world :-)

Back at it with the jokes and caro kann ❤ can’t go wrong at this point

"Sending her a di*k pick." 😂 I am going to be thinking about this when I play aggressively.

that fakeout resign-mate at 10:56 was brutal

Thank you for the whole Caro Kann rating climb series.

Yesterday I got my first Pawn Cube. I thought I was going to flag, but once I got the pawn cube I decided that there was no way I was going to lose. I started playing fast, got agressive with the queen battery which he handled incorrectly, took all the pieces and managed a mate in the middle of the board. The game was not even close to flawless... but getting to load a queen battery, successfully use a rook sac, and rally to win because of the inspirational pawn cube will make this one of my most memorable games.

This series has been the single most instructive bit of chess content for me since i took it up seriously this fall.

Keep it up.

PS
I would love to see a longer vienna rating climb playlist.

[FrancescoPizzo_Production]

You are the best chess youtuber on the platform for learning, also you are a beast at chess which I guess helps in what you are doing

[stevesidare]

OMG. Can't believe what I heard @2:25. (lol) But it's a good comparison nonetheless.

[Rbench]

Thanks for another great informative video! You make this game look a lot easier than it is. Maybe I just make it difficult. 😂 I look forward to the next! 👊

[desuniahardware]

Very instructive! And how can you not love this guy's dry sense of humor!???

[TroyFletcherKeyboards]

24:00 "This is you half an hour into your blitz session" I felt that NGL

[adamangowski]
