Solution of the puzzle : first queen to f5 is a brilliant queen sacrifice then black has only one option and that is capture our queen with his knight on f5 and then pawn to e6 check is a Beautiful checkmate

[ShadowGamerz]

Hey Jeetendra! I was thinking of learning Caro-Kann. Thanks for making this video. Awesome video as always!

[kaielGL]

Best video for the opening hands down. A really beautiful edited way to show the most important lines of each variation telling exactly why we play what we play, all in a composed video of only 14 minutes. New sub here, thanks.

[radioheadfan]

Recently started watching lots of the big chess youtubers (gotham etc) - all good, but sir your videos (editing, explanations, graphics etc) are a cut above! Can't wait to watch all your stuff. Much appreciated!

[sanjanneupane]

Early morning and the legend comes back . Fed up of welcoming you for one comeback after other . Noone have so many comeback.

[adarsh]

hi sir just wanted to thank you... i recently came 2nd in the interhouse chess tournament at my school all thanks to you i have improved my london sys opening with additional tactics that you gave and your other in-game tips also come alot handy

[Thunder_Awungshi]

I have been following you since the early days of your channel. This is my new account but I never leave u.
You are my best chess Guru.
Thank you for enlightening me. 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

At 10:13, after the pawn exchange, you told us to play Nf6, hoping white will capture the knight and lead to Tartakower variation. But nowadays, nobody captures the black knight on f6. Instead, white will move their knight to G5, for the hyper-venomous Alien Gambit, which no one except Stockfish can counter. Whenever my oponent plays Nf6, I will play Alien Gambit and crush them. Alien Gambit has 100% win rate. I think you missed out explaining that in your video. Caro Kann was one of the obstacles behind my FIDE rating not raising above 1600. But with Alien Gambit, I could crush the Caro Kann players into dust and raised my rating to 1672.

I'm having my chess tournament this evening and I'm a really dumb player with black pieces, thanks a lot dude to teach me such a great opening and it's different variations....Really Appreciate your making such informative vdos....May God Bless You

[davidbusse]

Giving the ideas in the opening and where to put the pieces and why (especially the why) is very helpful. Do you plan other opening videos in this format?
Thanks very much. I know it can be a lot of work putting these videos up.

[jairadhevallabhrajrajeshwari]

Solution to puzzle:Qf5, knight takes, e6 is checkmate, beautiful🔥

(Sidenote: I Don't know why, but unlike other chess yotubers, your straightforward videos are very hooky, like reading an interesting book, this video was very necessary, since other people have pay walls in front of openings and other "opening summarized" like videos on other places unlike yours, were very generic that just told you like the first two moves and that does not give me the necessary confidence to play that sort of opening.
Your videos are very helpful!)

Thank you sincerely Jeetendra sir! 😊

[pursuitofscience]

Thank you so much for taking the time to create this video based on my request! I really enjoyed these traps and tactics. Keep up the great work!

[vikrant_bhatt]

a simple and a straight video that helped me
other youtubers made this a bit more confusing
and the most interseting part i liked that was the puzzle .
thank u

[Mad-meon]

Brilliant queen sac with Qf5+
thanks for your chess videos 🙏

[chess_for_life]

Thank you so much Jeetendra sir for your awesome content on of you, I finally would be able to play black with no fear...you see, i started following you since the last 5 years and i'm thankful to for helping me out reaching 1600 on Lichess...& BTW, the solution to your puzzle starts with sacrifising the Qf5 turns the tables as black is left no moves but to capture our Beautiful queen...and the finisher to end the game is pawn f5, blowing the game with savage...😎😎

[AvoDrago]
