Always loved how the two most played lines in the advance Caro are the Tal and Short variations. Will we ever get a medium height variation?

I think, being a commentator with Judit Polgar is a better option. That's definitely a fun job to have. And when we look into Kramnik, all we see is him starting one procedure after the other.

"Instead he does commentary with Judith Polgar " lol. On the brighter side, his student (Vincent K) beat the World #1 and #3 in the latest 960 tournament. Leko was so proud he left to give him a hug.

This is easily the best lecture on the Tal variation of the Caro-Kann made by Ben Finegold this week!

I started to play this variation a few years ago just because it was named after Tal. Has served me well so far.

I love the total insanity of the first game of MVL vs Akobian. Good game.

Great lecture as always~! Thank you GM Finegold, you are one of the best instructors in youtube.

"Before MVL became MVL"<br>Before 2013 everyone just always called him Maxime Vachier-Lagrave. You know you made it when your name is shortened for convenience in introduction.
