Longer Chess Games #48 The Jobava London System in Action 

+1 for more longplay games!

Amazing how even watching you play helps you learn so much, best chess youtuber by far

Let's all give thanks to your opponent for being an honest player.

I have purchased every Jobava and Dutch course that Simon has done. They are all terrific but this latest Jobava course is the most thorough of them all. Well worth the $ as his courses are.

your art of attack course has changed the way I play so much, not so the first time but I came back to it 4 months later and it's game changing

i like your video style ... these games focusing on one opening and exploring different ideas. it really helps a lot.

I grabbed that 50% off deal. Can't wait to dig in

The 'excellent move' at around 35:02 cracked me up lol. Great content as always, Simon. Cheers!

Thanks for all the free edutainment! These long play games are so much fun to watch, man.

you are by far the best chess youtuber.This vid was helpful as I always struggle to win when ahead on mterial

Simon is by far the most entertaining chess personality, and very instructive as well. its a crime he's not more popular

Great video like always Simon! Keep them comming. Liked and commented before actually watching the video! Now im going to enjoy my dinner and learn some Jobava!

awesome game, thanks Simon

Always enjoy the long ones.

Love these games Simon. Your style is fun. Also, keep the mohawk. It works.

Bought the full course including vids and working through it. Think I wanna play it for rest of my career!

Simon MAKES you wanna learn chess👍👍👍👍

Thanks Simon.

Great video Simon! Have you thought about playing blitz session of pure Jobava London with Jobava himself? He's such a nice guy and last time you played with him was great! Would be good promotion for the course as well. :)

Love the long plays! I ripped my hairs apart when you didnt play (in the "fun" position) Bxh7+. You missed (or wasn't t explosive enough?) that after Kxh7 you had Qh5+ winning on the spot : Kg8 Rxg7+Nxg7 Rxg7+ Kxg7 Bh6+ Kg8 Qg4+ Kh8 Qg7++. More explosive but perhaps dubious was the other move order: Bxh7+ Kxh7 Rxg7+ Nxg7 Rxg7+ Kxg7 Qh5! f6 (best defense i think) Bh6 and Qg4 next move looks strong enough. Seems explosive enough to start a revolution. Thanks for he content maestro! Going to buy this Jobava DVD. edit : didn't see there was a computer analysis at the end, my bad

Nice game!

Very educational

Very interesting!

I bought the DeeeeeeVeeeeee Deeeee. I must admit I struggle with this system and it doesn't appear to be as flexible as the London. I'll keep trying!

and here we go

Like Mark, I´ve purchased the Jobava course as well as the Ginger GM method. Simon is an excellent presenter and I´ve learned a lot from his DVDs. I like that Simon wants you to understand the ideas and not memorize lines. Each single video has one particular theme which Simon often illustrates using some very instructive GM games.

Sound is fine! The video jumped sometimes, but it wasn't too bad. The content was excellent as always :)

Ah yes, a longer game with my favorite opening, what a combo!

Long play games where the thought process is explained is good because lets face it - nobody's learning anything watching 90 mins of someone rattling through a bunch of 1 to 5 minute games!

Very nice

Just found this channel and love it. Make an English defense course on chessable!!!

I’ve been working through the Chessable course. Have only gotten through about 20% of it so far but still gave three players rated 300-500 points higher than me a run for their money in 10 minute blitz last night, including one win. None had seen the opening before.

15:30 h4 preps the greek gift line well because at the end you have Bg5 winning the queen

Was this a game in 10? You learned a new brilliant sequence! :)

Is it called the Greek Gift because a Trojan Horse would be confusing since it's not a knight that's being offered? :) I've been playing for 3 months now. Love the vid's from GingerGM!

Man it would've been cool to see that double rook sacrifice! That was a beautiful combination but I don't blame you for not seeing a mate in 10! Great game nonetheless

To me this is the Maria London system, she played it always as white before Jobava was born! Everyone knew it wasn't very good try for advantage as she blocked her c-pawn

I know about Chessable. Grabbed a free Chessable pen at my last weekender. Thanks guys.

please let me know if the course ever goes on sale again ... its impossible to buy at the current price after USD got so much more expensive for me after the crisis related to my countries currency.

Sorry for my ignorance, but what analysis tool are you using?

In the analysis the excellent move (blue) is not as good a move as the best move (green). Simon you were right not to go for the greek gift.

Chessable is great!

Kc6 last defense move how would you mate?

Hi, I try to buy the new Jobava London system for my husband with the sale 50% but I do not find the link mentioned. Can you help me?

Hits elbow* My entire nervous system: 7:30

Hello. What is the name of the chess engine you are demonstrating this video?

10:00 What about the Greek gift already?

Great opening to confuse your opponent

I understand the Jabova London is a system for the white side. So what opening system do you recommend for black side if someone doesn't have a lot of time to study theory? And I see two prices on the site. What's the difference?

26:10 instead of Bh6 I was thinking Qh5 ? (he cant take with knight its pinned by Rook) how he gonna defend Qxh7 next move? and ideas of Q takes that pinned knight after king moves or Bh6 after knight moves

Use your opponent's time to calculate your moves..thanks for this insight

Harry!!!!!!!

(Beats opponent convincingly...) "I could have won in a more stylish way" (frowns) lol.

Wow I cant play this video, is it upgraded quality?

also makes my hair silky soft!

“It’s not a dating app”!!

This is what I hate about GMs instead of showing the easy win they have to show off and go down insanely complicated lined.

Ledge

the normal 2.Bf4 is a better move order to get in the Jobava london system than 2 Nc3 because it avoid the pin variation wich is a positional refutation to the 2Nc3 move order giving =+ to black of course with 2 Bf4 you have to know other London system variation but Bf4 is the correct way to play. not 2 Nc3

I think it's fair to say this opponent is hugely overrated😕

Again your not doing a very good job at selling the course by playing complicated lines most of us want easy to learn systems and get wins with as little effort as possible.
