Why would someone play the jobava when there’s so many other better openings?

“Better” as in the engine will say +0.2 instead of 0.00? 
The jobava is as tough to equalize against as any other opening, the engines just understand all the complications

Sorry if this has already been asked, but I didn’t read all the pages.  What are the main ideas in the Jobava? I feel that when I learn an opening, it’s important for me to know what I’m fighting for. Also, should I study some theory of the Jobava? Thanks for your help and advice😃

you have to know jobava theory before playing

Main lines of jobava are hard to explain in one go but check the chessable course for a start and ask here if you have questions

What makes the Jobava London better than the Veresov attack?

 

The Veresov's "positional threat" of Bxf6 actually offers white very little.

But none of them is better than the other, they are just different concepts.

If I ever have an opening crisis I’ll study Jobava but for now I’m sticking with English

Sicilian is too much to take in for my taste
