Stejpan, I have been playing chess on and off for 20 years and I have to say your videos are both very informative and inspiring. Thank you for amazing content and I wish you all the best in your journey. I'll be following and cheering for you in your path, wherever you end up.
This video is so nice and well explained. I would really wich an update covering the new discoveries of Bortnyk and Naroditsky. They make the jobava much more dynamic. Thanks for the work you've put in!
I have been learning this opening for a year now (I am old for a beginner and do not have much time on my hands...) and only come across this video now. What a great intro! I love how clear and to the point your explanations are:) Great English by the way. You have my subscription, sir!
thank you so much for this honest and straightforward lesson, and for not glamorizing this opening but giving its real strengths and weaknesses. you are an incredible teacher.
I know this video is a bit old and not sure if you’ll see this but my favorite response to Qb6 is a3 rather than Rb1 because when they take thinking we blundered the pawn, you go Na4 and trap their Queen
Hello Stjepan, I absolutely love your content! Single-handedly my favorite chess content creator, and I watch a lot of chess content! I noticed some background noise in the video... it's subtle, but there. It doesn't bother me at all, but I thought I'd mention it since it's usually pretty easy to fix (I just run the audio through audacity and use the "Noise Reduction" effect with a sample of background audio). I don't think it really matters, but again would be so easy to fix :) Anyway thanks again for the fantastic content! This was a great video.
IMO learning the Paulsen french is the best part of playing the chigorin... those lines are full of fascinating positions... even at high level some QGD players will just play 2... e6 there even though they don't play the french. For example, on lichess 12% of 2200+ players play the french against 1. e4, but 16% of 2200+ players play 2... e6 in this position, so I'd say at least a quarter of the players are not french players even at high level, and just wandered into the line... well 25% is a large number, in online chess that's going to substantially increase your winrate. At 2000 rating it's even more brutal 20% of players play 2... e6, so at least 40% of your opponents don't even play the french. If you ever want to mix things up with the veresov it transposes into the Paulsen french at unexpected moments, this throws people off more and is completely brutal when it happens. Trompowsky can also transpose into a paulsen or paulsen-like position in many places. As a 1. d4 player you also get a good weapon against 1... e6, which occurs in ~6% of games. Also... your repertoire is just more focused, so you'll have alot more practice with the french than you would otherwise. Good variation to know for a player who likes these offbeat 1. d4 openings with Bg5 or Nc3. And what about getting a KID player to play a pirc defense - that's a major victory. Again 17% of players play 2... g6 after 1. d4 Nf6 2. Nc3. So here you get to practice against what's usually a pretty rare line, the pirc... your whole repertoire is just more focused and will be alot more solid / refined. I've seen 1900 FIDE players freeze for a minute over the board when I transpose the game into a french.
Wow, a video on the only opening I play as white! Interesting to see your lines on it since I have done a lot of personal preperation myself. Again, thank you for your content, I have gained another 100 elo since I have last posted and now am a 2000. To those out there, 1500-2000 in 3 months is possible even as an adult! (excluding breaks). Hope to see the community get stronger as a whole.
I absolutely love your videos! Really looking forward to this series! Will there be an English Opening theory series in the future? Thenaks a lot Stjepan!
This looks like an interesting deviation from my usual e4, as it can transpose into a lot of e4 openings I'm familiar with, but I also love that the Nb1 knight is paralyzed. I think at my ELO many people will make mistakes with Nc6 or not playing a6. Once again thanks for the well thought out opening intro Stejpan.
6:55 against dutch opening, the korchinoi gambit with h3 and g4 seems good, can you please make a video on that, I was inspired on the opening by chess vibes video...
At 15:38, the Queen is seen to go to E7 (to avoid the attack by white's dark-squared bishop). Why? Would it not make more sense for the Queen to stay OFF the black squares and go to D7 instead?
Very nice. I wonder if others would agree that a lot of the concepts introduced in this video are fairly high level, strategical decisions trying to direct the game in directions you expect to feel more comfortable in than your opponent. I wonder though if this treatment of the London is consistent with why many players choose the opening, which is primarily to avoid studying main line theories, just trying to get out of the opening into a middle game with pieces developed without falling into some trap.
Thanks for making this. I did some research on this, and bought a course on it. But I was always confused about when to play it, and how to respond to Black's first move. I always like your presentation. So I won't play it again until I've finished your videos 🙂🙂
Thank you for a very great video as always. Also I have a question. I know the major 8 replies aganist the queens gambit in popularity are 1. Slav 2. Queens Gambit Declined 3. Queens Gambit Accepted 4. Chigorin 5. Albin Countergambit 6 Baltic Defense 7. Marshall Defense 8. Austrian Defense Thank you for making a series on Slav, QGD, QGA, Albin, & Chigorin I know that the Marshall Defense & Baltic Defense are completely refuted are unsound, as white can be +1.3 out of the opening with correct play. I was wondering if the austrian defense is considered unsound and refuted? Because a top 10 Gm (Shakhriyar Mamedyarov) plays this from time to time, and i have had success playing it.
Hi Stejpan! I noticed in your introduction that you mentioned you can play the jobava against anything black replies with on move 1, but it is impossible to play such a system against something like the Englund 1...e5, and it got me wondering, are you ever planning on making a video to refute the Englund gambit? Thanks, I love your content!
@@imxluke Yes it is lmao. It is garbage and most platers bank on the opponent falling for one or two cheap BS tricks. If you just play principally black will be borderline lost within a few moves.
Thanks so much for this video. I play the standard London, and am looking to broaden my repertoire....slightly! I don't know many e4 openings so I will stick to Jobava, and avoid the transpositions. I don't mind conceding a slight advantage in the opening (my opponents, like me are only rated 1000-1200!)
Молодец Степан. Очень хорошо что ведёшь свое канал на английском языке. Это доступно более широкой аудитории. Я хоть по английски не очень, но ты всё понятно и просто объясняешь.
I play this opening a lot, but after Black plays c6 the knight on c3 feels misplaced. It exerts pressure on d5 and e4, but that's about it. At least when the knight goes to d2 it can go to f3. I'm interested to hear what other people think on this.
There are two options: Black plays Bf5 Black doesn't play Bf5 If Black plays Bf5, the thematical break c5 is slowed down while White enjoys a space advantage after f3 g4 h4 until Black balances it out with c5 (loses a tempo) If Black doesn't play Bf5, the Knight will eventually land on e4 after e3 Bd3 e4 The move c6 is therefore not a big deal
Look at the other Hanging Pawns' video: What to do when black avoids the Jobava London System. Generally, I do not see a way to avoid playing the French, the Caro-Kann or the Pirc or Modern. Likewise, you cannot avoid the Benoni. So it is not possible to force your opponent to play the Jobova-Rapport system, and in my experience, quite a few players opt for the French, the Caro-Kann and the Pirc. The choice of the French is the most popular.
This was interesting. I love the Veresov but I've always dismissed looking into this because of the "London" in the name which made me associate it with drier play.
I'm years late, sorry, but why not feign a normal London before transposing into jobava? Developing the bishop and e3 pawn before choosing Jobava or not. Especially since we are begging for black to play against London with the c5 flank that jobava counters
Because Nc3 immediately threatens to play e4. And most people don't normally play the Pirc defense against e4 which is what the position would transpose to after lets say 1.d4 Nf6 2.Nc3 g6 3.e4. So Black is forced to play d5, which isn't something most 1...Nf6 players know well.
Hey Stjepan, I was wondering if you could add a video at the end of this series from black's perspective...I've been struggling quite a lot against this system:(
I assume he will talk about Black's options in his videos and because everyone has his own prefereces, the video would be very long. I'll leave some options: 3. ...a6: sharp line, Black goes for c5 and b5 while White's plan is 4.g4 g5 and attack, you could catch White offguard 3. ...g6: I don't like that option because White has clearer plans and can dictate whether he wants to play agressively or positionally c6 and e6: positional, transposes to some Rubinstein positions (or Caro-Kann, idk) 3. ...Bf5: Black can decide whether he wants to play agressively or positionally, but White has a space advantage and therefore a slight edge practically 3. ...e6: positionalness is dictated by White, Black has to watch out for 4.Nb5 and 4.e3; Black can come out of the opening with a fine position, but has to know more theory 3. ...c5: I prefer this variation. 4. Nb5 Qa5+ is at least a forced draw for Black and after e3 cxd4 exd4 a6 Nf3 I'd choose Nc6 over Bg4. White needs longer for g4 compared to 3. ...a6. 2. ...e6: It has the advantage of White not being able to play Nb5 in the e6 line mentioned above, but White can transpose into a Classical French. There are other lines for Black which transpose (no d5). I'm not Stjepan, but I hope I could help you. Black's theory is limited so it doesn't take ages to memorise. You can for example use the Lichess opening book combined with the engine recommendations.
If there is one thing I dislike in chess, it is blocking my c pawn, instead of freeing it before developing my knight. It's painful to not be able to push it
First thank you for starting this serie! Also I sent you a message on Instagram because I had a doubt about the Catalan opening video you made. Should I sent it on another place like lichess or you don’t really like to respond messages?
Glad you're back! I just play the French against this xD A better move order to get to the French for black is 1...Nf6 2...e6. If they try to go for Bf4 instead of the French then you can just blow everything up Benoni-style and equalize the game in like 10 moves. Or you can go for Bb4 which also is very equal. They ALWAYS go for the French.
@@seandoc-chesschamp Imagine knowing absolutely nothing about chess. It is a common positional piece of knowledge that the c-pawn wants to move before the queen’s knight to be able to contest the center in d4 openings. Just because a higher authority or skilled person plays it doesn’t mean it is good. They get away with it due to some exceptions here and there, but it is universally agreed that the jobava is very anti-positional.
@MicrOitos It's difficult trying to speak to people on your low level of intellect. It's like using stockfish to Analyse Alpha Zero and Stockfish saying Alpha's moves are poor, because it's not on a level where it can understand. I'm a British Chess Champion, you're a keyboard champion.
@@seandoc-chesschamp ”British Chess Champion” HAHAHHAH Anyway kiddo, read one or two beginner chess books and maybe then we can talk, as you have a loooong way to learn some basic concepts ;)
Been waiting for someone to catch on to the jobava London system because everyone is playing the normal London system and that has been done to death.So many thanks for doing this series as there is not much apart from ginger gm chessable.
I don't agree with you about an early black ...c6 or ....e6, Bd6 being an easy route for Black equality. For example, the second, Black trades off his good Bishop for Whites dark squared (worse) Bishop. When Black trades off, it may open up the h-file (if White retreats the Bishop to g3, or solidifies e5 if White plays e3. Also, with e6, Black has locked in his light squared Bishop. If you compare Bishops, White is better. After c6, it's got it's pluses like you mention, White is denied tactics on c7, but then again, it's also thematic for Black to play ....c5 to put pressure on d4 too. ...c5 also puts pressure sometimes on a white development of their bishop to d3. That's not happening with ...c6.
Do you mean 1. d4 nf6 2. Nc3 d5 3. Bf4 g6 ? Well, Stockflish thinks that ...g6 is quite playable. Play can continue with 4. e3 Bg7 5. Nf3 0-0 and black has equality according to Stockflsh.

Do you mean 1. d4 nf6 2. Nc3 d5 3. Bf4 g6 ? Well, Stockflish thinks that ...g6 is quite playable. Play can continue with 4. e3 Bg7 5. Nf3 0-0 and black has equality according to Stockflsh.
@@sgower414 yes. I assume I was commenting on the lack of coverage, as 3…g6 is fine for black

Nice
Surely at Grandmaster level White has no advantage over Black, after all both are Grandmasters.
At 15:55 you're going to be down 3 pcs for a Queen. I don't see how it is "completely winning."

Don't worry, I'm very experienced in being in worse positions.

Good video until minute 17.
13 minutes in and you're on move 1.d4 and you've been talking nonstop. zzzzzzzzzzz
Thanks brody
my only complaint is too much saliva on play.
