    Hey Alex, as I said in a previous video, big fan. Just a small suggestion: maybe play with bigger time control (10 minutes), not because you can't finish your opponents in time (you obviously can), but because I really enjoy you going over the lines and my endgame really, REALLY sucks so watching your thought process there would help me a lot and you often have to rush because you spent all the clock on the opening and middle game (which I love, I just wanted to hear your thoughts on the endgame as well).

    Hi @Alex.
    I just wanted to stop by and tell you that thanks to your videos showing me the Jobava London and Caro Khan I have made it to 1101! I am so happy. The games are often quite interesting and fun as I try to remember all the counter moves, and occasionally making some up, as my oponent's try and crush the Caro Khann. In fact, in the game that got me to 1101, I forked the opponent's Queen as he played black f6, e5, f5 w/ me countering dex5. Oh the joy as just a couple moves later he brought his queen out where I moved Nd5... he then sidestepped with Qe6... the smiles broke out as I recalled your comment in one of your previous videos... "Oh boy!".... hahaha Check... resign. Yessss!!!!
    Thanks for the great content and smiles...
    Next target up, 1200.

    Alex, I can't begin to thank you for this unbelievable Jobava lesson. I have been playing the classical London for a few months with some success since many players of my rating seem to panic after D4. I can always tell because their reply usually takes more than 30 seconds. After going through these games with the Kc3 approach I have STUNNED opponents into resignation sometimes after just a few moves. It is an absolutely comfortable and solid system that packs a devastating attack especially if Black Castles King side. I would like to add that I thoroughly enjoy your sneaky sense of humor and i find myself laughing out loud at some of your quips. Keep up the great work and good luck in your future matches!!!👑

  • @unadventurer5040
    @unadventurer5040 9 місяців тому +8

    Another option to deal with bf4... If you can get your knight to e5 via f3, then you can push g4. Lots of players under 1000 miss the fact that the knight can capture backwards or that the queen is also covering g4. This is in the Daniel Naroditsky/Bortnyk Jobava course. Love the content Alex!

    This is essentially the position David Howell had against Garry Kasparov(Kasparov went c6 instead of a6) and Howell pushed to g5 and Garry put his knight back on g8.
    it’s the model game in simon Williams’ Jobava course and it plays out so many times for me in this exact position.
    The point being that the Jobava system kinda works no matter the skill level

    @DimebagDerekS 9 місяців тому

    Playing the Jobava Against the Benoni, one of the reasons for Be2 or h3 instead of Nf3 is there is a pretty nice plan of going Nf3->Nd2->Nc4 and getting some solid pressure and causing problems for black. Often you will get a5 in and cement a knight on b6 via Nc3->Na4. It is worth looking at.

    Alex: What is the line you have shown a few times in the Caro Kann (where you lose 12 times in a row special haha) where you end up either using a fianchetto king side and also sometimes even capturing with the g7 pawn, which create sort of these weird blockade of pawns? Thanks, and thanks for all your work you teach. You are one of the better ones out there.
    Also, I really like how you have added the preview of a move that could have happened in recent videos.

    Imagine my surprise, as a player who prefers tactics and open positions, that I would find a home with d4 opening?! And so as I study, of course c5, a5 and the KID offer the most trouble to the d4 nc4 bb4 line. This update to IM Alex's study is crucial for my study and a perfect intermediate study. Thanks so much for your teachings, as the Caro-Kann and The Jobava seem excellent companions, and my win rate has indeed gone up. Question: have IM Banzea ever taught or favored the Catalan? It seems pretty strong as an e4 option...

Black pawn on e4 blocks any attack launched from d3 and you will loose the game. What am I overlooking?

    Assuming I go down this line as black, I'm looking to exploit white's airy kingslide. After 11.g6 I play Be7. gxf+. now your own pawn is blocking your attack. You have to play O-O-O, or Bxh5+, winning back the pawn and forcing you to move your K. I play Bxh5 anyway, winning back the pawn and leaving your kingside completely open and me with a passed pawn backed by my rook. Next comes g5, and where is your B going? If e5. NxB, dxe5, Ne6 f5 ... or c5 with tempo on the Q. Now you Q has to abandon that diagonal and retreat to cover your f pawn; then NxBe5. dxe, Nc6; f5 gxf; exf. Dunno, that's as far as I can calculate, but I think I'm better

    • @gndsas1
      @gndsas1 8 місяців тому

      if anyone is still wondering about that I think I can add something here. First of all, a good player can spot good moves and knows his openings pretty well but fails to spot tactics that occur after certain moves.
      This is the domain of a great player crucial on higher ELOs because having a deep understanding of the position that you will find yourself in after a certain move is the number one skill that will push your ELO rating.
