This simple tactic will double your mating rate 

Waitlist for my upcoming Jobava course: alexbanzea.com

But I already have two kids.

I'm new to your channel but love it to bits mate. Your sense of humour cracks me up. As an Englishman, your grasp of my language is amazing 😂

Hey Alex, when is your Jobava course coming out?

ALEX!!!! When is the Jobava course comming out... My money is dying to go into your pocket for that course!!

I have Danya and Simon Williams jobava courses and although their lines are probably most optimal, I think I’m going to revert back to your lines when your course comes out. f3 and dxc5 to get Bd3 just appear as simpler ways to play the positions with less theory involved. How long before you release your course on the jobava?

bro is so similar to himself as kid that it looks photoshopped w/ a current picture

If Magnus watches this he has 160% win rate with the London system 😮

As a member of the Christian polygamy community, I have been working on getting a second queen for quite some time!!!! LOL!

Good stuff Alex. Can’t get enough Jobava and the thematic pawn structures/opportunities.

In Game 2 15:43, what are the 5 moves to win? This is more than 5 moves: 1. Nxd5 e6 2. Nxc7+ Qxc7 3. Bxc7 Bd7 4. e3 Nf6 5. Ne2 Be7 6. Ba5 O-O 7. Ng3 Rfc8 8. b3 Bc6 9. Be2 Bd8 10. Qd2 Nd5 11. Bxd8 Rxd8 12. O-O-O Rd7 13. Nxe4 Nb6 14. Qb4 h6 15. Nf6+ gxf6 16. Qxb6 Rd5 17. Qc7 f5 18. Bh5 Rf8 19. c4 Ba4 20. cxd5 Bxb3 21. Rd4 Kg7 22. Qe7 b5 23. d6 Rc8+ 24. Kb2 e5 25. d7 Rg8 26. Kxb3 exd4 27. d8=Q Rxd8 28. Qxf7+ Kh8 29. Bg6 d3 30. Qh7# 1-0

I’m confused about when you should castle long or short in the Jobava. Would appreciate any thoughts!

Was wondering about what time will your new course on the Jobava London will come out?

Thank you for Sharing your wisdom❤ I Love your Videos and they got me Back into chess. I learned so much and recently hit the 1000 Elo Check mark 🥰

Stop calling it mating and the rate will quadruple!

i can’t believe this but you’re definitely my new favorite chess youtuber. your videos teach me so much and i’ve gained so much elo thanks to you. i learned the power of the london and its my new favorite opening, i hope to master it one day

This is the "Greco" gift because "Gioacchino Greco" analized in his chess treatise (AD 1619) as first.

I Played this today, wowzers, players can't even handle this!!! OMG! 0.0

Opponent makes 1 move Alex - “so this is why he lost. We’re are completely winning now.”

This simple tactic will double your mating rate... Fifty six minutes and forty seconds lol

Did you really "deez knights" your opponent? LOL

It is funny that there is a photo of Beth Harmon because Alex reminds me of Benny Watts.

I always like the video before watching.

why is Jobava never in big tournaments? this is so powerful, thanks

So how will it double my mating rate and what does it have to do with chess?

Alex talks about those pawns just like a proud parent gushes about their honour role student.

First two opponents played like 1200 rated players

Titles that could be on a chess video or a pickup artist video:

Can always count on you for prescient insights, as well as sharp wit. Thanks again Banzea!

Put your losses on other channel

Alex you get wooden spoon 4 not playing my favorite opening

my mating rate increased but my mating rate stayed the same

Awesome tutorial nice to hear your thoughts through the game it really really helps

19:50 in this position, what if they play Nh5 ? Do you continue with the pawn storm and risk your bishop? Or? I constantly keep getting hit by this with the Caesar bot.

Love you!

Oh ffs!! Chess! I was so hoping to improve my rate of mating irl. Hey...you're a handsome enough guy. Since, I'm here...can you at least tell me if you've been killing it? And what lines seem to work best for you?

OMG! Alex I just checkmated a 1250+ rated player! (mine is 750) It goes with ups and downs, but your lessons are really helpful for my ELO :D once again thank you very much... I'm really proud of myself.. Hereafter I will of course lose 10 games in a row, but that's why I stop for today :D

This is what I've been looking for, for my jobava repertoire. Thank you so much @AlexBanzea

Suggest you go to confession Alex.

We know London system hrs the casual player and helps your income, but can you please play something else like the Italian or Kings gambit more often?

What's weird to me is that you always start with the Jobava London and you promote your course the London System, why is that actually? Why don't you play it with your London System?

I tried it all but im still single...

First time in a chess video babe I have heard the term “premature ejaculate”. It’s gold Jerry gold!

Hi Alex, just to thank you for your courses and all the content for us. Wonder if you could make a video about when it's to reasonable to fianchetto in Caro Kahn. Pros and cons of it.

The kid picture is from when Alex was sent to buy cigarettes, but got lost and played in a Chess tournament instead

34:35 😂😂

New subscriber here. Love the content and appreciate the time you've put into teaching us plebs of chess.

date before you mate.

Are we getting Jobava vs fianchetto lines in the classic London course?

this guy mates.

So good to see your jobava content..insightful as always

Oh, this is for chess.

In first game, what are your thoughts about 5. g4 Bb4 , 6. Ne2 O-O, 7. a3 Be7 1. d4 d5 2. Nc3 e6 3. Bf4 a6 4. e3 Nf6 5. g4 Bb4 6. Ne2 O-O 7. a3 Be7

This should help me in the Italian opening for sure!

The only gift i got in my birthday is the greeks gift :(

My guy. Thanks for the amazing content as always. Cant wait for your channel to blow up (although I fear that I then have to learn anti jobava and fantasy..). I was wondering in the 25:50 position why you didn't simply break open the center with exd5 instead of pushing (although the strategy was to open a direct line to the enemy king) I feel like breaking open immediately was the better option, what do you think?

6:44 You could sac the knight and then if he took it Qh5+ and mate on h7

13:25 😂 didn't know people use this in other countries!

50:15 - bg7, rook to g8, bf6 -- this seems to get you everything you wanted in that position

Which means if im 1100 i'll become 2200🎉

How effective is this in checkmate showdown?

I see two queens on the board every game.

You looked like leonardo DiCaprio as a kid.

Does all this apply only to Jobava opening, or can it also be applied to a classic London system? And thanks for this great content!

Try to think with the right head.

26:07 Hold my root beer.

How did you give us a whole rating climb of the Jobova without showing us this repertoire in full? Haha

Uraaaaa!! video nou

💗

🔥

very nice ideas there

good video

Do there come a Jobava course Or do I have to but Hans Niemanns?

Danke!

Hey Alex, I contacted you via mail cause I wanted to buy private lessons. But maybe your e-mail adress is not updated on youtube or you simply don't do private coaching. I'm trying to contact you on every platform but nothing seems to work out 😢
