    @orangeRhymingDictionary Před měsícem +14

    Game 3 is crucial, particularly on the queen side. This is where a ton of your jobava games will end up if there's no pawn storm or knight b5 shenanigans, and opponent doesn't trade his dark square bishop for your queen side knight.

    The queen trap in the first game you can also get in the caro mirrored for black when white goes nuts with the queen. You play a6 and if they take on b7 you play Na5 and the queen has no moves, sometimes they can sac a bishop to evac the queen but then you won a bishop for a pawn and that's good enough

    I have been watching you videos and loving them. I especially enjoy the Jobava London ones. I have been mainly playing this opening but I always stumble in the same area. The pawns in the middle (D and E) I always stuggle knowing when to go for a break or accept and exchange or push past another one, etc. I always seem to make a mistake there. Could you explain that in detail in a later video? If you have already, which video would that be?

  • @bloodmoney88
    @bloodmoney88 Před měsícem

    re 16:00 "step on the gas" , what about the horse on C3 taking the black pawn on D5 instead of the white pawn doing it... similar unfold but more forced. & the black pawn remains on b4, a better umbrella at a distance than up close perhaps?

  • @johntyler2176
    @johntyler2176 Před měsícem

    Thanks for this. Love your Jobava and Caro vids.( Bought your Chesable Caro course).
    Just wondering , why play Knight first? Seems if play Bishop to F4 first then the opponent does not necessarily think Jobava, and brings out their Knight to C6 more often...
    Thanks if have time to rely😊

    Why has Alex Banzea got only 91k subscribers compared to Levy Rosman at Gotham Chess with 4 million or so? I don't understand. I get it, Levi is fun to watch and very knowledgeable but so is this guy. Listen to me now Alex, you can be as big as Levi. All you need to do is post more videos. Levi posts a new one at least a couple of times a week. That's all you need to do to catch up. You're just as knowledgeable and just as entertaining. Take my advice and you will be as big as, if not bigger than, Gotham Chess.
