Longer Chess Games #63 The Jobava London System - A Common Trap

[@random9-548]

I love this section with long time controls where we can learn from the GM's mind. Thanks Simon!

[@robertstrong6639]

A practical and in depth tutorial here, more in depth than many other tutorials on KZbin.

[@OregonMikeH]

Honestly this is the 2nd time I've watched this Game very recently. My thanks to Albert for the game, it was great! Very instructive by Ginger, verbalizing so well his thoughts process Ginger is extremely helpful in the way he expresses his reasoning. Ginger for your audience, this fashion of expressing your anticipated opponents plans is premium instruction! This is Grand Stuff greatly appreciated and well done. As always Sir wishing Blessings and rich Thanks from Oregon. So hope to see this style of hosting your play again please. Warm Regards, .. "Oregon Mike H"

[@magic_hotel]

Great instructive game. So many themes explored, not just those applicable to London Systems.

[@dadidhabhar1284]

Love these longer games. Very instructive. Thank you Simon. Please continue to upload on a regular basis.

[@valenpin4483]

Thank you GingerGM, I love you ! I play the Jobava since you adviced this opening, and this particular type of game with Nb5 for white and Na6 for black is happening a lot at my level (around 1700). I often struggle to find ideas against it to break through but you gave some good examples that I'll reuse :)

[@RR-qf9re]

Is that Jose Aldo former UFC lightweight champion???…I didn’t know he played chess too

[@djWOOF]

I love your sound effects hahaha. "nom nom nom nom" "screwdriver noises"

[@banzaiburger9589]

I definitely learn much more from Simon's videos than any of the shorts from other creators covering current tourneys and matches.

[@michakonieczko6875]

I caught myself automatically clicking like button before video even started. Says something about channel quality ;)

[@briandwi2504]

Such a great teacher!

[@sintdm1634]

Excellent game in my favourite opening, thanks sir.

[@KF1]

Excellent play by the opponent, and great explanation in the meantime

[@SEAKPhotog]

Terrific commentary. Thank you!

[@Shome2049]

So happy to finally see your own channel. Welcome to the party

[@simon555-55]

Thanks Simon. This is excellent :)

[@hesehali5042]

Great stuff. I have used this opening to move from 1500 to 1000 elo

[@tim3898]

LOL so much disrespect

[@_MaxStreet]

great video, love the jobava system

[@wce-tube]

Very reasonable explanations! As always!

[@roland.j.ruttledge]

Excellent, as ever, many thanks.

[@juhonieminen4219]

Please send a challenge to GothamChess (IM Levy Rozman). He has played a 14 game London match with Eric. You could challenge him for a Black Lion or a Dutch match. I'm sure playing all games with black is no problem to you. That would be amazing content!

[@jenericjoe7565]

Eric and levy are both IMs. I think that the games wouldn’t be close vs a GM

[@juhonieminen4219]

@@jenericjoe7565 that is why it's "all games with black". IM will have the odds of playing white. Besides its about content, not fairness. :)

[@jenericjoe7565]

@@burarum1 I can believe they have won a few games against unknown GMs in shorter-timed matches. However, against stronger GMs such as Ben Finegold or Simon, or any 'super' GM - since that is what the initial comment was inquiring for, I cannot see them taking a match in blitz or longer matches, which would be the time set for a 14 game course.

[@mainyoutube7018]

Love the opening man👍 I got some questions about the course you made, do you have a mail or something I can contact you for some more information?

[@TheDrsyam]

At 1:45 of the video, after white plays Nb5, Qa5+ by black will serve the purpose right? Knight will have to go back to c3 to block the check. cXd4…… and in continuation won’t black be better?

[@Heroball299]

No he has pawn c3. The bishop defends the knight.

[@MSKChess]

Outstanding! Slainte

[@djWOOF]

Great video ty

[@petecatt]

Good game.

[@warrenginmartini]

After Black plays e5, White should play Be4 instead of castling. The d5 pawn is pinned.

[@maruthulib]

After long London game please put more

[@Jesse-xq7jb]

that was too spicy. indigestion

[@archiestriker7251]

A very nice video. Does anybody know why people consider the London system bad?

[@ubermensch4304]

It basically leads to an equal position which is undesirable if you're playing the White pieces, since White is supposed to have a small advantage from the opening due to being a tempo up.

[@Holub101]

Why is blacked forced to play knight A6 when white plays knight B5?

[@INFINITY_99]

No other valid option to stop Nc7

[@Holub101]

@@INFINITY_99 thanks mate

[@philippides]

"the accuracy was ok" >92.9 accuracy LOL if I play a game with 93% accuracy, I brag about that

[@butchvandyk1051]

yes yes yes yes love this sistem is this stillllll valid?

[@iainbozfelt]

Calclate ? Ginger you can slag off Stockfish but it will beat you every time.....

[@nicholasmills8021]

I thought Aldo was higher rated? Or is this a alt account?

[@brucknerian9664]

At 14:09, just gave up taking the free pawn black gave you. Before castling: d4Xe5, if pawn X pawn, then bishop takes, winning the pawn and centralizing white bishop, if bishop attacked by the black rook, then simply retreat back one square where it's guarded by two centralized pawns/can still castle safely after securing the diagonals for these two deadly white bishops. The black night taking c5 is not really that big of a threat! Opening very interesting, but I think the name of the game is kill the shit out of the other guy whenever possible.

[@jpleddington]

I was wondering about that free pawn at first, too. The problem is that black can play an intermezzo -- Nxg3! -- capturing the bishop, and white must recapture the knight immediately, since the rook on h1 is hanging. And then, after black plays fxe5, black has a mobile pawn center and a newly active bishop.

[@volodymyrstepanov7068]

that Alekhine's Bum was defending pretty darn well for an 1100 player. Freakin' smurf! :)

[@diegocaffiero3870]

Aldo is a 2300 player.

[@Curtains1337]

go aldo!

[@asetr3w45]

why would you play the london

[@lordhelps1]

18:04 mark you make a sliver of a mistake, mate. You mention that your opponent moved King to h8 to be able to move e4 because the d5 pawn is pinned and cant recapture. Problem is that white has a pawn on c4, blocking the Queen from the a2-h8 diagonal, so e4 could have been played successfully. Not sure if best move though. Otherwise, carry on. This is good stuff.

[@gunproduction9995]

Recognise your opponents ideas.

[@UclaChris1]

You should update your courses. Hans Niemann came out with one and is updated.

[@tetusooooo]

24:05 how did aldo miss f7? 😂

[@stefanoboffelli1297]

it's clear that the opponent was a cheater

[@Drummingboy001]

First one to see

[@sherylpowell7297]

"This knight here" is redundant. "This" is a demonstrative pronoun indicating nearness.

[@zegmakker5869]

not per se nearness, just the location of the specified knight.
