Keep it coming with the Jobava. Perhaps a short, direct summary of all critical moves in one video. Like responses to a6, e6, early c4, when to go for early h4 or g4 ala Hans’ course.
youre videos are great thank you so much for putting time and effort into them. i especially love the caro kann ones because its my favorite opening. ive been using jobava london because of you recently :)
It took me a while during the game! I just had a feeling it must be winning for me and I got it by using the “elimination” process because nothing else was working haha
It would be great to see you collaborate with one of the larger youtubers to expose your channel faster. I think you would get along well with any of the youtubers but especially Eric Rosen. Maybe you could talk about London system theory. You're both IM's. Anyway, we'll see what happens!
Can you say something about defensive considerations for your Jobhava kingside pawn storms? Sometimes it works for me and other times I get killed but I don't know what I'm doing wrong.
It’s not an easy thing to master. I would say to focus more on the long castle lines because playing with the king on f2 is a pretty tricky theme that I still struggle with.
So, 3 of my friends and I started playing Chess a few months ago and I'm running into a bit of a mental block. I was told that E4 was great for beginners.... They all started playing this London system stuff and it seems much better than what I'm playing especially with each of them having a different defense vs E4. We always go hard in games, so we're climbing pretty quickly, but I think I should change over to London too? Was recommending E4 an old idea before the systems started showing up? I ask because there is way way way more info on the internet about playing the London vs finding a decent E4 response to each defense. From what I understand playing for advantage requires me to know more theory than I would ever think of investing time into. I wonder if I should pick up a system too since we are most likely to lose our edge as white anyway. My goal in Chess is to hit 2k on Lichess after that I'm just playing for fun.
That was a long message haha. Any opening is good as long as you simplify it and understand the basic plans and ideas. You can see the way I do it/how other masters do it with the rating climbs.
