Best Jobava content on KZbin, i watch every video. Thank you for sharing, what an awesome video. Ive been trying to go e4 entering the french and the caro khan main lines, but i just dont know enough about those. I would to see more about the jobava alternatives with i guess Bf4 even if they are not as strong

[@AlexBanzea]

Thanks for the kind words! I generally never play e4 in the Rating Climb except Vs kingside fianchetto where I play the Austrian Attack.

[@robertgonsalves1966]

Your explanation on why we should take a piece or block it is very instructive.

[@AlexBanzea]

Thanks a lot. Glad to help ❤️

[@sbrynjelsen]

In the second game (7:30) pushing the pawn was preferred by computer (+3.1) versus taking on h6. I had to go back and look at that since this line is quite common in the Jobava London. Thanks for making these instructive videos in this opening.

[@AlexBanzea]

I was actually wondering about that while watching the replay. Thanks for clarifying that Sean!

[@stefanschaller5992]

You speak very understandable English and you can explain things very well. I enjoy all your videos and learn a lot from them, thank you very much!

[@agentsmith9641]

More Jobava goodness,i like the way you explain what happens if this,or this.Whats your next chessable?

[@AlexBanzea]

It will be the Standard London!

[@peterkoleff5816]

Nice tactic @ 24:30, I didn’t see that coming

[@animantus]

I play Jobava only against kid setup, but hopefully will introduce some more lines as surprise weapon.

[@AlexBanzea]

It’s definitely really nice to have it on the side at least!

[@morphyencore]

First game: After Bxa6. What about Qa5+ to prevent spoiling the structure?

[@SLKCHESS]

Nice video as usual

[@AlexBanzea]

Thanks a lot ❤️

Ive been watching these jobava vids for a while and i still suck at about 1150 elo. What ive noticed though is that Alex almost always sees what his opponent is going to do before he makes his move. I dont see that, i move and see what happens in response. I have a feeling this is what holds me back and not knowledge of openings

[@amfulger]

@37m38s, how is it so easy for you to not consider e5 from black which cuts the defense of the white rook?

[@kevinespina3289]

Long love the jobava

[@oliverkovacs167]

Nice video.Can you make a speedrun playing KIA with white and Czech Pirc defense with black?

[@AlexBanzea]

That is on the list! Might be right after this speedrun. Might be the normal Pirc tho!

[@ewallt]

Last game when you played Bf4, I don’t think you mentioned your plan if he played e5, which looks like winning a piece. Black is so underdeveloped and without King safety that it seems intuitively W should still win, but that seemed B’s best try.

[@laszlokorosi9012]

I've also spotted ...e5 winning a piece and set up the position for analysis. It's > +3, but requires precise play by white.

[@walterbrownstone8017]

Okay I'll give it a few hours. My progress is kinda slow with the Ruy Lopez. It branches off into too many main lines worth hundreds of hours of theory each.

[@AlexBanzea]

You should! It’s very effective and easy to learn!

[@dougveganparadisebuilder5808]

You would be crazy to miss out on the lessons hidden in this chess wizzard's videos.

[@AlexBanzea]

Thanks a lot ❤️
