Just a note, after exd5 in the first game e5 is already winning for White. i.e. d4 exf6 dxc3 Qe2 +- . Its a typical trap I have had in both blitz and classical chess.
The difference between a top chess player like you, and amateur like me, is that you see moves for all your pieces (and your opponent's) while I get focused on just one or two.
I just started playing this with the f3, it makes the London really fun to play and players seem confused by the pawn storm to the King side. It would be great if you'd do a video on just that aspect of the Jobava.
I definitely learned a lot from his course. Of course you’ll need to make your own notes according to what opponents from your rating range play, but solid recommendations in all the main lines.
In the first game, after 4. ... exd5? you missed 5. e5! which is completely winning! In my experience, this is a common trap from this move order so watch out for it
2.Nc3 lets you go for 3.e4 if the opponent relinquishes control of that square on move 2, so you might be able to play with two pawns in the center. It happens frequently against players who are accustomed to the kings Indian, so you have the added bonus of making them play an opening (Pirc) that might be unfamiliar to them and is advantageous for white!
@@AlexBanzea I'll take the time to thank you for the amazing instructional chess content Alex! Between you and Hans Niemann I took back the jobava and I'm having a blast playing the opening. Always looking forward to you posting!
