nothing better than another JOBAVA VIDEO!!! LETS KEEP THIS JOBAVA TRAIN RUNNING!!

[@oSlig]

Nice, very educational. The endgame in Game 2 was interesting. It reminded me of Naroditsky’s endgame video about knights. The main idea I took from it was that knights are poor at handling edge pawns and that we should swap the labor: the king handles the side pawn and the knight focuses on the other part of the board.

Capibara was requested, capibara saves the algorithm. Cannot wait the release of the Jobava

[@stevesidare2493]

Perfect starting game. I was looking for videos of playing against the semi slav, and couldn't find much, but here it is!

[@davidkeck6183]

My wife asked me what I want for Christmas. I said I want a capybara. She wasn't thrilled with that idea despite their cuteness. My second choice was an Alex Banzea Chessable course. She said YES!! Now the conundrum ... Caro or London, London or Caro, decisions, decisions 🙂 Have a Merry Christmas Alex.

[@CarolLopez-i3u]

Your videos are a real find for anyone looking for interesting and quality content. Thank you for your creativity and labor!🙀👏🏻🐽

Hi, really liked the 2nd board for deep lines. Really help to visualize

[@ILiteralTrashI]

"wins effortlessly" also expends 5 minutes calculating a move in the first game, keep up the good work Alex, love your videos

[@AlexBanzea]

we play rapid chess, gotta use that time for something...if using it for the final touch ONLY isn't effortless I don't know what it is :P

If in the first game the rooks had been connected, then after Black played Qxd4, white plays Re4 and wins via a forced mate

[@thomasflinders3319]

Hey Alex! I recently bought your Caro Kan course, and I'm LOVING it! How far out is the Jobava course? I can't wait! Are there any plans for a Queen's Gambit course for Black? I found the video you made recently very interesting, and I would love to get some more videos on that subject. Let me know! Regardless, you're awesome!

[@thomasflinders3319]

Also, I just got to the end of the video and saw your Jobava update, so ignore that question 😅

[@louiscypher6919]

The weekend starts!

[@JosephElsherbini]

Have you ever looked into positions instead of the pawn storm going Nf3 to Ne5 and g4 eventually? I’d love to hear your thoughts on that.

@ oh! Unfortunately I’m not a Jobava player. But that’s fair! Thanks for responding anyway, Alex ❤️

I just finished the video and I did join the wait list. I’m really interested in your way to play Jobava and I might be a Jobava player in the future! Thanks again

Hi Alex, as your jobava course wont be on chessable could you make it possible so its very easy to download the course from your website and import it into chessable please? I just like to have my review all in the same place :) Also how many variations do you think your course will have and roughly what average Depth will it be?

[@johnnycakeslim]

The fun of watching this brilliant guy move his moves is way different, for me anyway, than using these openings in my own games which don't quite work out the same way. Better to just watch him🤣😎

On 20,30 didn't Nb4 win our precious light square bishop and thus ease off the pressure?? On the other hand we might be able to hang onto the pawn then

[@AlexBanzea]

it's possible for black, but it doesn't solve the problem with their light squared bishop. The game becomes a bit more positional and it most likely goes into a scenario with good knight against bad french bishop. I actually have that coming in the next videos!
