@@Blunder_Man well the key idea in the jobava is a fried liver sort of attack so if you can shut that down straight away you just play against a normal london. I hate D4. everything just gets locked up and becomes positional. when im finished learning E4 will learn D4.

I doubt c6 is even a move in that position... Just giving away a pawn for no reason. More realistic would be Rxe6+, dxe6, Bb5+, Kf8 and then move the Queen.
