HANS NIEMANN: Dominates with the Jobava London!

[@brasileirosim5961]

I purchased this course recently and went through some lines. Niemann’s as the mindset of a truly psychopath (I mean this in a positive way, I guess). He goes for complications as often as possible - he really goes for the king. I can imagine that this attitude explains how he did a huge jump in the rating. I can imagine him playing once the candidates.

[@UclaChris1]

Do you study Simon Williams too?

[@brasileirosim5961]

@@UclaChris1 I studied it for a while, but now I am focusing on Niemann’s course, as it seems better (as far as I can see).

[@UclaChris1]

@@brasileirosim5961 yea seems good I just don’t like the g6 moves and the c5 ones seem very memorized and precise

[@tudormontescu6275]

That's the advantage of playing with a program, I guess :)

[@Ebobster]

The mating sequence was undoubtably all computer prep of a forced sequence but very logical & easy to understand & follow. Bravo to Hans

[@gijsbarmentlo6607]

First time I see one of your videos, it was nice =) Well done

[@chessdawg]

Thanks for your kind words

[@sbrynjelsen]

Thanks for the video and game analysis. I just finished Hans’ chessable course on the Jobava London. Great course with some improvements and new lines compared to traditional approaches. I also took Simon’s course and will be using variations from both.

[@chessdawg]

Good luck in your games!

[@UclaChris1]

Yea I do prefer Simon for g6. What about you? What are your thoughts on Niemanns idea against black Nf6 d5 and c5. Normal Jobava had 4th move at e3 and he suggests sticking 4. e4 right there. Seems odd. What do you think of that variation?

[@ViciouslyBuoyant]

Your videos are really great, much love

[@chessdawg]

Thank you!

[@Haakl1]

Indeed! Very well explained to a simple chess amateur

@@Haakl1 Thank you

Nice video! Will watch more

Great! Thanks Mike T

[@brasileirosim5961]

And I subscribed, of course. Thanks for the video!

[@CKarmorr]

Great vid, I've been following Hans Niemann for a little while now after watching him play a fantastic game against Jeffery Xiong, he's a talented player with great potential.

[@chessdawg]

Yeah, he is a very exciting player.

"If you don't know who Hans Nieman is" Then, you would have missed that question on Jeopardy two weeks ago, where Nieman was the right answer.

[@RR-qf9re]

Rapport and Danya have been playing it longer than Hans and Magnus has taken it to a new level transposing into the jobava after starting with 2. bf4 3. e3 and and going 4. nc3 only after black plays c5 or goes for g6 (kid)

[@UclaChris1]

Hey what am I missing? Before you showed his game, you spoke of the line that had a crazy attack. With g4 the rook on g one, and said f6 was the only saving move. Even if the knight goes back f6 or another move perhaps. Black is winning. They have an advantage of about 0.7 so what is he talking about. Did you do the line correctly or what am I missing?

[@chessdawg]

This is Hans Niemann's analysis from his chessable course, but my computer also likes white after the knight returns to f6 and white plays Ne5. Of course, computer analysis can be different depending on the software, the hardware, and the depth it is set at. I would certainly rather have white in that position with the open g file leading to the black king.

[@UclaChris1]

@@chessdawg I understand. If I didn’t plug it into the cpu I would thing white is up at least 3.0 advantage with a huge attack. I’m a little confused though. I just tried a new software. It’s latest SF. The depth is 45 I think. NNUE and black is favored by close to minus 0.8

[@UclaChris1]

@@chessdawg edit: have you tried Simons course as a side topic? Some line I prefer with Him.

[@UclaChris1]

@@chessdawg PS I looked this up on the Chessable site and it says black was worse too so 3 engines agree black is better what’s the score on yours?

[@chessdawg]

@@UclaChris1 Mine showed +.3, I am not sure what computer Hans Niemann used though. It is quite possible that your software is more accurate. Neveretheless, I really wouldn't worry too much about the computer evaluation. If Hans Niemann, a near 2700 GM, thinks it is good for white you can trust it in my opinion.

[@RazoomHD]

Would have loved to see the Qh8 sequence, mate in 4 I believe.

[@chessdawg]

That would have been nice

[@TGregers]

Is it worth buying his course with video? Is it the best Jobava course on the market?

[@chessdawg]

I don't have this specific course; I have looked at the free content available for it. From what I have seen it looks very interesting. I would say this is the sharpest and most attacking oriented approach to the Jobava London that is available.

[@TGregers]

@@chessdawg Cool! Gotta love attacking chess.

[@MrGyges]

Devastation on toast

[@euclideszoto997]

I thought Richard Rapport was the most consistent playing the Jobava London.

[@Name-ql7jf]

“Only elite player playing the jobava consistently” Daniel Naroditsky and Bortnyk disagree

[@jeffersonthomas1269]

War paint War cry JOBAVA !!~!!!~!!

[@heremansmarc]

Did you even see Hans Niemann analyse his own games in direct? It's just a pity. Did you see him playing blindchess? Did you see him resolve chess positions blindfold after seeing them for 10 seconds, what all the best grandmasters are able to? Thus, the conclusion is easy, IMO.

[@5RustyBin]

elite player lol
