V-hug right back! Thx for great content! You have taught me all about the Jobava and I love playing it!

[@lemomar]

Scored 99.1 in 15 moves with the Jobava this week thanks to you My opponent didn’t play very well and it was a short game but still I’ve been getting over 90 accuracy pretty consistently since I started playing this opening!

[@austintomkewitz3981]

I just watch for the humor but my goal is to get back up to (1200) like I was in high school in high school I used to watch Gotham chess and used the London system I'm liking the Jobava better and this guys humor is top notch

Thank you Alex! You really ignited my passion for chess again with this openning! Climbed a 100 points of rating and keep getting Jobava blitz games with more than 90% accuracy concistantly as an 1100. This openning is OP!

[@Ang_Vieyra]

His videos make me feel very human. My FYP is full of chess streamers, and their styles are so hypersaturated with stimuli that they are seen more as public figures. Alex's videos feels like more intimate and personal since his style, as an online chess public figure, makes me think that getting to know him as a friend would probably not be so different. That's why I like these videos. There's this strange feeling like you're being taught chess by a good friend in their living room.

[@JerrySuneagle]

I enjoyed how you spent time talking about his castling in the final game, when in fact he lost the right several moves earlier. Glad to see an imperfection, as I have hundreds, and it is always hard to measure up to your cool, relaxed, style of play.

[@mannylokzzz]

Not even clickbait, the bf5 lines have gotten me 90%+ accuracy, wins against 1800+ elo blitz players, which I’ll take all day sitting at 1170 blitz. I make it to move 16 barely losing 10 seconds on the clock lol

[@kevinmorris4517]

21:31 It would have been more clear if you explained the "trap" if the opponent takes your dark square bishop with their Queen? It took me a while to realize the discovery trap by checking their King with your light square bishop and taking their Queen with yours.

[@zainmalik7214]

Welcome back Champ 🏆

[@JanisVeits]

I think there is one important line you missed to explain after Nxe6 at 7:50. If black doesn't take the knight and plays Nb4 attacking your Queen you have to play Nxg7 Kf8 Nf5 giving your queen away. The idea is that you are threatening to take the queen and playing g7 at the same time. Black can give a check with Qf4 after which you move your king, and if black tries to move away from the fork on g7 by playing Ke8 then Nd5 traps the black queen

[@_BADCHESS]

The Boa Constrictor that you showed in the video I think might be good in several lines. But the exact moves that black made allows Bd6 Qf3 instead of Bd6 Nf3. I normally use Qf3 in this exact move order. But it's good to know that Nf3 works too.

[@Charles-Windham]

1st game at 8:20 when white pawn forks Queen and Knight - could black have played Nb4 attacking white's Queen and the pawn thereby escaping the fork? I realize white's rook could come in with a check which might not bode well for black.

[@abdulvalimahomed5496]

Nb4 allows the pawn to capture the queen. After which you take back whites queen and he takes black knight back.

[@Charles-Windham]

Thanks I see that now that black loses his knight and white would have a protected passed pawn. 👍

I just started your London course on Chessable, have almost mastered the Quickstart and the Chigorin chapters. Very much enjoyed the pawn structure chapter. Already knew the stuff in the mastering fundamentals chapter. Are Jobava ideas in the course as well? So far it seems mostly Nf3 London positions?

[@AlexBanzea]

No Jobava at the time that was made, working on a separate course now for almost two years!

[@CoachJay22]

Alex, what software are you using. What is chessmaster teaching?

[@LatteEsportsLeague]

will your chessable course have 4. Nb5 as an answer to 3. e6 from black? or will it just cover the basic response of 4. e3?

[@AlexBanzea]

It’s crucial to understand 4.e3 first because black can force us into it with tricky move orders. Example: 1.d5 d5 2.Nc3 e6 3.Bf4 Bb4 and you can no longer play the Nb5 lines.

[@LatteEsportsLeague]

@@AlexBanzea understood. Will the course consider both routes then or just use 4.e3 for simplicity’s sake? I understand transposing into this situation from the opening you mentioned but I find 4 Nb5 just to be straight forward and easier tonplay from in the traditional lines Thst said, I’m excited to see the jobava course when it comes out and I hope I can simplify my lines through your course

[@slimpwarrior]

I like your videos. I play the London (and Jobava London) as White, and the Caro-Kann and Dutch as Black. This combination covers me against everything. The Dutch is fun but too tricky. I'd like to have a more reliable strategy against d4 for Black. I think the King's Indian is the most popular choice here. I find it boring but remember how I felt the same about the Caro-Kann until I learned it. Now, it is my favorite opening. Why don't you add something like this (a weapon against d4) to your repertoire?

"like something very annoying that is stuck between your teeth. If you still have them" 🤣 The second game was awesome, I was thinking of sacking the bishop first and then getting the fork of the Queen and Rook, but that doesn't work because he blocks with the queen and we have to exchange.
