Strategy in the Jobava London | Standard Chess #293

April 27, 2022 by Chess Chest Leave a Comment

The Jobava London (1.d4 with 2. Nc3 + 3.Bf4) is a quirky system that has achieved main-line status in recent years thanks to a constant in-flow of exciting games by top-level practitioners. Against my 2368 rated opponent’s kingside fianchetto setup, I opt for a quick Nc3-b5, inducing …Nb8-a6 and looking to demonstrate that Black’s queenside knight is misplaced. Playing quickly, my opponent makes a committal pawn push in the early middlegame.

@ginger_gm @chessable @richardpalliser Good stuff, guys! I had a look at these lines back in 2019 for my Sicilian course as Black. I was surprised to find that this is much better than you might think at first. Leads to good fighting positions and certainly will surprise people!

Thats a nice checkmate! 😎
This 1 e4 c5 2 Be2 is a very interesting idea, aiming for an ideal Dutch.
It's a nice 'system' opening, meaning knowing the basic plans is the key.
Hopefully I explain them all in the videos!

Magnus, but not Carlsen @NotCarlsen

@ginger_gm @chessable @richardpalliser Just tried my luck with 2 Be2 after watching your course intro and got this nice checkmate. Will definitely buy😀
