You wonder about the Jobava London ?

@Oleksandr_Bortnyk

and @DanielNaroditsky play it all the time and have released a course which is $50 ( I haven't purchased it)

lets see a trendy line

Lets continue the critical line

But theory goes deeper, let's see a game played by Danya this year ( he authored a self-published course with Bortnyk on this but I haven't gotten it). I think Danya is playing online a tons of games and has tested his opening course in Blitz and Bullet. same goes for Bortnyk, a Jobava London fanatic !

But here Black played the correct 14..Bf6 15 Ng5 h7-h5 which is pictured next

and now 16. 0-0 e7-e6 would be equal.

But Danya and Bortnyk have prepared the flashy 16 Rd5 !? , which is still in "prep"

and here Black has only 1 way to proceed

Black should play 16..Bxc3+ with a crazy line

and of course the line goes on further

We are on move 21. How do I know this part of these GMs opening prep ? Well like them I can use Stockfish -and a software called Chessbase) and when 'checking' this line with the Stockfish engine, what did I discover ?
Indeed a certain "Bortnyk_Chess" in February this year checked this line with Stockfish15.1
all roads of modern chess lead to Stockfish !
and now a recent game by GM Naroditsky with crazy computer lines (perfect play leads to a draw).
These lines can't be played without having researched various possilibities with the top engines.
