Crushing Through the Kingside | Jobava London | GM Naroditsky’s Theory Speed Run 

“King to f2 is now a big threat” is a wild sentence lmao

33:10 Danya checks if his opponent was stream sniping. Ne6 blunders the rook lol

33:08 "Yeah there is knight e6 here actually. Knight e6 might be very annoying. Yeah knight e6 is probably a good move." -- really tried to sell that: ice cold.

I discovered this channel a couple of days ago and became addicted. Watching a strong GM explaining is something veeeery different from other guys.

I love how harsh danya is with his chat when they claim someone is cheating. What an amazing game.

Thank you Danya for the game! I enjoyed it even though I got crushed. Sorry this was my practice bullet account, I was looking for 10 sec games while watching your stream and I just thought I might get to play you If I started a 15 10 game, and I did. My real rapid rating is 2040, sorry for the play looking a little bit suspicious for 1790.🤔

Don't know if you'll see this but thank you sensei, these videos have been helping a lot in improving my chess. Keep it up

That opponent made this one of your best episodes!

Danya, as a d4 player I really, really enjoyed this. I've never really considered the jobava until now. I play queens gambit almost exclusively. Please, I would love some more d4 games. QG, Catalan, London, Torre, whatever. All the e4 content is great, but given where I am and how long I've been playing d4 I'm not exactly about to start playing kings pawn structures. Learning d4 is hard enough without starting again.

All love and respect to you danya for doing this charity work for all chess fans. The insights and knowledge you share are mostly sold by GMs per lecture. Thank you man! You Rock🤘

Danya I feel like it’s been overstated but oh my god you are the best chess RU-vidr and instructor out there. I cannot stress enough how educational patient and overall valuable you are, thank you so much

This was brilliantly explained and very illustrative. Thank you so much. I look forward to more.

while i’m still not very good, i’ve mostly gone from playing with 50-60% accuracy to 75-80%, an achievement due largely to your videos. you make learning very engaging and interesting and for that i am grateful.

You do great stuff! love every second of it :)

Sensei Naroditsky.. man you really are one of the best... out in south africa I've learned alot from you and even won a chess tournament all thanks to some of your teachings

This video is incredible! Extremely valuable insight, thank you!

Fantastic ongoing explanation and break down. Thank you

Hurry up with this course! The jobava has become my bread and butter because of you and I’m pushing 2100!

This was unexpected and awesome. Would love to see more Jobava London stuff from Danya. I took the Hans Neimann Jobava course and getting Danya’s spin on it would be super valuable

Amazing. So insightful. Thank you!

Really great video. I know now that I have been playing this opening incorrectly. Thank you!

I can't even fully comprehend your awareness and skill. This was so informative. Just bought the course. Thank you for making it useful for non-master level players

Great explanations!

What I really love about Danya videos is that he being super gm with a lot of achievements and practices still keep in every game extremely dramatic narration like he's on the verge of losing control which he obviously doesn't

Fresh openings!!! Always feels great!

I really love the opening and hope to see more of it in the speedrun.

Thanks Daniel

Amazing game! Thank you

What a game. Kudos to the opponent, they're one of those people that get some kind of a wake-up call and play like a gm after they blunder, I would definitely have lost the game as white considering how resilient black played afterwards. Please like the vid guys! :))

I love the nuances!

I love these videos! Jack played a great game! Jack should be proud! Daniel you are the best!

29:28 when we see danya is trying to pressure opponent's time we know he's been defending very well there

this game was extremely instructive and was very exciting to watch

Great game, opponent played and defended very well till the end, thanks Danya!

This one was really enjoyable. Memorising the move order is the most complicated thing about this. How to respond If black responds differently. Nonetheless your opponent played incredibly well in this game, better than I ever could. I understood most ideas and most responses but I would probably still forget some of the key elements

I learnd to look for a right time to brakethrough from this game ❤️

I’ve been scoring around 60% with the Jobava. It’s incredibly fun, and I can’t recommend it enough. I’ve been a Be2 player so understanding that Bd3 idea is something I need to try

You explain very good, Tx.

Thank you

great game!

The craziest thing about this opening and game is the advantage of the central doubled isolated pawns. They restricted the movement of the black's knights in the middle game and later prevented the infiltration of the doubled rooks on the E file.

Your words are pure wisdom. ❤️

That was a great game

Masterclass 💪

Some excellent defense from the opponent! This game was very pretty.

Favorite game this run. Suuuuper interesting.

I started transitioning in the jobava sometimes after the van geet and it's so good especially against someone not used to play D5

Great game

Danke!

thanks

20:24 I hope Hikaru has seen this position. This is the most wooden of all the shields

yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes! Please do a few more Jobavas if you have the time to squeeze them in!

I am proud that I saw Qd1-Qg4 maneuver before he mentioned/played it.

thanks love

34:59 is a beautiful position I love it

Oh hell yeah baby

~ 22:30 when saying boa constrictor method you should’ve said “the thing about the boa constrictor method is eventually you gotta eat the mouse” (or whatever animal the boa would be eating)

Wow the d3 pawn was such a beast throughout the game completely blocking the e4 and c4 squares AND indirectly locking queenside AND helping control the e file

Hi Danya! How are you? I love your videos and keep the good work up! Could you please do a video on your favourite openings as white, and favourite openings/defences as black.

I’ve been playing the Vienna from 1000-1600 but the jobava looks really fun. I think I’m actually gonna pick it up as a secondary opening

Daniel's opponents have been insane recently... The last one I saw, while he was rated 1700ish rapid, was 2500 blitz lol. I think some people kind sandbag to play him. I'm around 1800 rapid and I doubt I'd play this good against him.

The prophet returns when we need him most

Me gustaría ver más partidas con 1. e4. Hemos tenido muy pocas partidas de la escocesa de los 4 caballos en este speedrun. A pesar de eso, siempre se aprende mucho visitando otras de aperturas para ver otro tipo de planes.

great play by your opponent

Queen side pawns just standing around for half the game, forgotten by the officers.

I really like the Jobava, it is my main opening. My only issue is, when the games turn really tactical and long I often lose on time. I guess I should practice playing small improving moves quickly rather than spending too much time always looking for the big winning tactic. On my level 3 … Nf6 is the most played variation, and that leads to all kinds of fun. I look forward to your course.

AND HE SACRIFICES THE ROOOOOOK

Thanks Danya! Now the Chessbrah community doesn't like me because I pulled a fast one with an early Nb5 Nc2+ and won a queen and the game with 95% accuracy. I'm a 450 in blitz but apparently my Jobava was too hot to handle😂

The best chess channel in the world. Period

Nice sir❤

Have to admit that ive played a long time and watched thousands of games, and it does only seem to be in these 15 minute games that 1700 players seem to find resources later in the game. They often do average openings that fall fairly quickly then after losingva pawn they can find 5-6 really good moves. i do suspect that players go in without intention to cheat and then faced with GM level play they often end up consulting stockfish just try and get the game back. Maybe not, but under shorter time controls these kinds of players just seem to melt.

33:08 "Pausing and trying to figure out how that does not blunder everything before realizing this is recording from stream..." Also, how is the opponent only 1800, approximately same rating as I am and I would never played that well. Props to him!

Daniel, I'm wondering if you've ever done a video where you compare/contrast the regular London with the Jobava London? I've been involved in a discussion on this topic with someone who claims the Jobava system should not be called a "London" at all because the differences are so marked.

What is your overall feeling about the f3 response to Bf5? What is it about the position that you prefer getting the knight out to e5? I feel like the f3 lines force some immediate attacking options kingside

All hail the sensei

You are so far over my head, it's taken a while, but I'm finally learning from you.

I think you're opponent was seeing an engine

Danya what exactly are you talking about at 41:16? Are you currently working on a course about the Jobava London? To be honest this would sound very interesting to me :)

Is this better than the London system? Or should I learn the London system or are they both completely different openings with different play styles

I have an idea for a series, that you get to a set elo by only using good principles and not calculating, and showing how far you can get by just the basics

Im here for the GOT references LOL lets gooo

Jack played an amazing game

Well played by the opponent today. Very determined.

Kudos to jack, easily a 2200 player. Well done mr jack!

I've been looking forward to some London :)

13:52 Is it a good idea to play Ra2 following it with g4 and Rg2 after?

Since he didn't elaborate on it at the beginning: What course is Danya working on?

tyvm - often my opponent blunders a pawn in the opening and I flounder instead of convert - useful game IMHO

Excellent and very informative to see you hunt down a 2000! Also I like how, despite the title of the video, you finish with a tactic on the queenside ;)

you can be the next oxhorn of starfield if you keep this up

This guy defended so well , that he took the game from a 8+ advantage for danya , to a draw with rook G7 in the end game , sad he didn't have the time to see it .

When is the course coming out

are you streaming this before uploading in YT Danya?

Hi Danya. Will your upcoming course be on chessable?

❤

Danya, did you see (or hear about) the recent Eric Rosen video where he mentioned one of his friends was playing on a smurf account and ended up on the speed run? I can't recall which video it was, but he had a stronger position out of the opening

oh no! e4!!!!

Danya....i have bought your course....on the Jobava London.... and...i think It would be even better If you increase The material with model games...and lines against 1...f5

You can always count on the morons in Danya's stream to accuse a player of cheating if he or she doesn't lose within 15 moves.

we've reached a far point from my own ELO but I still find it interesting.
