Today's video is the first in a few "sequel parts" designed to show you the ideas you learned from Sam, being used in practice, by the world's best players. First on the agenda is an example game in the Classical Caro Kann.

Shankland
Sam learned chess at age 11 from the Berkeley Chess School program. Within four years, he had become a National Master, and two years later, he became an International Master when he tied for first in the world u-18 championship, a result unmatched in the last decade of international play by American players. At 20, he has already played in several U.S. Championships, placing 3rd in 2011.
