Hey Alex love what you do ! already purchased Caro Kann and normal London, if you release the Jobava it means the King’s Indian is delayed right ? Any idea when that might happen ? Not sure about Jobava as I have already normal London but will definitely purchase kings Indian !
@hicham.ai007Ай бұрын
Jobava London is like an aggressive real Madrid attack against Romanian team ! 😅 Gotta always win . BUT ... always thought you're more likely to be for tactical play. You proved me wrong here : 11:24 enjoying positional play 😢. Quote it : " Love tactics and be prepared for positional play when the opponent is Romanian but very strong 😂" .

The chess scene is full of "puzzles to win a piece or checkmate", but i really think it needs puzzles/excercisees like these where the focus is making a plan or improved your strategic position.

Thank you for the great coaching, Alex. I enjoyed the exercises even more than the “pause the video” moments (which I think are helpful, as well). Pushing me to improve how I think about the demands of the various positions is a very good thing, I think. Looking forward to the Jobava course!

Alex, the problems are extremely useful, a great addition, please continue! Especially since they reinforce a theme illustrated in the games. This would be unique and highly valued content, I don't think there is anything like that floating around on KZbin or other webly settings...webly? Webified? Webistic.

Can you cover the Dutch next for the jobava ? And more Benoni would be nice too - exercises at the end is a cherry on top, for the beginning when you mentioned the e5 when the opponent takes the d5 pawn with his e3 pawn would be nice to have a separate window showing what exactly is happening especially for the newbies that have trouble visualizing I'm almost 2k in rapid today thanks to you - I only play 3 openings: jobava, Caro, and Kings Indian you and naroditsky are by far the best keep it up bro - your boy from Canada

@ItIsYouAreNotYourАй бұрын
31:05 Is Nhf4 an okay move? It seems like a good way to grab the bishop or have it move? No? I think one of my biggest problems is trading pieces off too early. If I have a chance to grab a bishop, I almost always do it. The tension on the f6 bishop would be too much for me to let it escape. EDIT: Okay you went to f4 after the Qc2. So I guess it would have been okay but a bit early. Also just wanted to add I love your content and teaching the best out there (and this format). You and Aman. My ONLY complaint is, I'd love to see a tad more variety, which was nice with the recent Kings Indian. But man! You really got me playing the Baba (I call it the Baba since a child used to call me that haha).

Great video! I have a question on the last one. I saw that f4 was the square and that we wanted to eliminate the knight but also thought that playing a3 before playing Nb4 and taking back with the a pawn seemed stronger because white was pretty locked and didn't have much time for counterplay or tactics with the idea to continue in the same fashion. Clearly I miscalculated something (or many things)...what was it?
