More people should be watching these vids for Caro ideas. Absolute gems. There is a 3h one of Caro lines that’s just a free course basically. Analysis of top level play with so many nice details. Amazing content

Bf4 in the second game looks dangerous. If you take it with your Queen, you get back rank mated.

The third game was weird because I believe the guy had a very specific opening gambit idea, but you avoided it by taking the pawn 3... dxe4. The Landau Gambit: 1. e4 c6 2. d4 d5 3. Bd3 and now suppose Nf6 4. e5 Nfd7 5. e6 fxe6 6. Qh5+ g6 and then a queen sacrifice 7. Qxg6+ hxg6 8. Bxg6#.

Maybe it's just my 1100 elo brain speaking for itslef, but isn't Bf4 on 13:13 just winning for white? Basically 1. Bf4 Nf3+ 2. gxf3 Qd7 3. Bxc6, and the queen can't take back because she's defending Rxe8#, so Rf8 by Black to avoid further losing the rook and White retreats its bishop
