[@mikeymcmikeface5599]

Why bother, since this is just inferior to QG?

[@Emmanuel-o4z]

Amazing video. I just purchased one of your courses a few days ago, can't wait to go through it.

[@tfosss8775]

There is another Q trap line not covered in this video. 1.d4 d5 2. Nc3 Nf6 3. Bf4 c6 or c5 4. e3 Qb6. 5. a3, if Black plays Qxb2, 6. Na4 and Black's Q is trapped. Black's "best" response is to trade their Q for White's R on a1.

[@nazirkazi2531]

Thank you GM Igor! I really like the Jobava London opening and you have shown me some new traps to use in this opening. I would like to make a request to you to please consider making some videos of you playing against opponents rated from 1500 upwards and include your thinking as to why you are making each move as you play. I would love to follow and try to understand your thinking process in those videos. Thanks!

[@mschoenen]

Love these lines and traps - definitely going to practice adding a few of these to my white opening repetoire

[@lnvanry]

Love the Jobava videos!

[@GMIgorSmirnov]

Thank you for watching!

[@walterbrownstone8017]

This is great. Jobava is so popular. The only problem with this is black doesn't bring out both knights like this very much anymore because they know things get really complicated.

[@Kenjitsuka]

Excellent, I love the London System! Thanks as always!!!

[@davidstrachan8912]

Great video. Thanks

[@mb4920]

Excellent content

[@GMIgorSmirnov]

Glad this was helpful for you!

[@Zygnity]

That 3rd trap is literally a reflected Rousseau Gambit

Pe5 1:35, Kh5 2:39, Pc5 8:09, Pg6 10:03, Pe6 12:10, Ka6 14:23, Pa6 16:38.

[@singh5050210]

Brother plz make a video on comman endgame tactics its available but could you plz combine and sum them all up in a single video

[@JerrySuneagle]

Love your videos - always clear, concise, and helpful.

[@GMIgorSmirnov]

Awesome to hear that from you!

[@screwtude2647]

Thank you!

[@Onlyone421]

Thank you for helping us sir please make a Series of end game sir most losses in end game

[@chriso6884]

Currently my main opening with white. Lots of fun games and quick wins, but black can equalize pretty easily if they know what they are doing.

[@unknown-qs6ur]

Great video, but why does the engine suggest the move 5.B×e5 rather than d×e5?

[@ChristianSoschner]

Fantastico thanks for sharing.

[@joeoleary9010]

I'd really like to see more videos on middle game strategy. These opening videos are great, but my downfall is always in the middle game.

[@GMIgorSmirnov]

Appreciate you for being here!

[@anonym5160]

Simply play c5 on move 3 and black is better.

[@abj136]

I did this decades ago in a highschool tournament. 5 of 6 games with white I got Nxc7.

[@brianbeattyphotography]

pure devastation. love it!

[@ChessSavage]

Pls make a video on how to beat lower rated players Ive just been losing to 1600s and 1500s. Lost nearly 70 rating points to them. Pls Gm Smirnov

[@abj136]

It’s a weird question because if you are a better player you should not lose and you don’t need a video. Or maybe you got lucky and had a rating above your skill, and losing is getting back to normal. If you are better but are losing, it’s probably due to carelessness. Play more carefully and analyze your losses to see what mistakes you could have avoided.

[@GMIgorSmirnov]

chess-teacher.net/masterclassyt , You should try GM Igor's free masterclass.

[@NewTyp3]

In your video about dealing with when bishops pin your knights you say that it’s very bad to block with a move like Be2 but you do exactly that here in trap 8. How comes it’s ok here?

[@Magoooobly]

How naive of you to think that I could win by being up a pawn, much less by 10 points of material

[@ShimumaPoya]

What about e5

[@GusHerbert]

what about against the Slav?

[@yaxou9457]

15:31 can t they play Rd8

[@delboy9234]

Yes, but loses the exchange and a bad position.

[@yaxou9457]

​@@delboy9234my bad i thought it was an exchange of kknight bishop for a rook 🤦‍♂️

[@marshmallow___bars___7578]

I stopped playing the Jobava after kmowing that Black has the advantage after 1. d4 d5 2. Nc3 Nf6 3. Bf4 c6

[@BB-wg3tw]

Equalized, not an advantage. But yes, White has less tricky moves given that order. Key is to play the edge with Black's light squared bishop trapped behind its own pawn.

[@kastar6283]

grandmasters miss but not my 400 elo opponents xd

[@Alin-bv1xv]

What I do I can not get higher than 400 500 elo 😭😭 😢 I can not stop blundering 😭😭😔

[@doransponsel4813]

Play slower games, and make sure before each move that whatever you're doing isn't a blunder in anyway. Look for checks, captures, discovered attacks, forks, and other tactics. Blundering is part of learning tho! Just learn from it and don't let it happen the same way next time

[@Emmanuel-o4z]

When you play online, try playing longer games and have access to a physical board and play the moves out.

[@PROGAMER-uc1gy]

igor ur opening videos are very good but i think u should focus on 1 or 2 openings and cover them fully and then go to the next 1

[@GMIgorSmirnov]

Thank you for your feedback.

[@PROGAMER-uc1gy]

@@GMIgorSmirnov ur welcome and also can u make a video about how to play middlegame and also more in depth about this opening

Not a single fucking grandmaster blunders Nf6...
