Jobava London System

The only tournaments in 2010 that included both Jobava and Ivanchuk was the 38th Olympiad in Khanty-Mansiysk in Siberia and the 29th European Blitz in Warsaw, Poland.

Not particularly impressive trolling.

Hi,

I originally put this in what may have been the wrong section under "Beginners," so I just moved it here.

I've been a member for a long time, but go in and out of playing for various reasons. I started using an opening that I learned from GM Simon Williams called the Jobava London System that starts off with the move order:

1. d4 Nf6 2. Nc3 d5 3. Bf4...

I have had some good results playing folks at work with this, but I've had some issues when black moves 3... Nh5 attacking the bishop on Bf4. I've tried to look for some PGNs, but haven't been successful in finding anything useful. This may be because it's a rubbish move, but im unsure.

Any constructive thoughts would be MUCH appreciated!

Thanks in advance!

Hey FJ83, hello everyone happy.png I think 3...Nh5 is possible, but Black has many better ways to proceed (e6, c5, Bf5; just to name a few), it's important to develop early on. I recently played some games against the Jobava System and I think I've managed to come up with a nice solution. I analysed one of these games here: https://www.chess.com/blog/CSB7/road-to-gm-3-titled-tuesday-2021-04-06-chaotic-games-solid-score

Mark's opening does not exist. Why do people make up such stuff!? And whoever this Mark dude may be, he is most certainly is not a chess theoritician. There is absouletly not a single information about him on the internet.

Of course Mark's Opening exists: www.Marksopening.blogspot.com . It's 1 d4 Nf6 2 Nc3 d5 3 Bf4 . It's existed since 2008.

Why do people make up stuff such as the Ruy Lopez or the Queen's gambit or Bird's Opening? What kind of question's that?

There might be no information about Mark on the internet, but there's more than 1 web-site with information about Mark's Opening on the internet.

 

You cannot be serious. First, there were 960 games in the Mega Database from 2007 back, so you did not invent anything. Second, you are clueless about how openings are often named. It is not necessarily the person, who invents the opening, but often the person, who popularizes it. You are a nobody, and Jobava, whom people actually know of, has 156 world-class level games in Mega.

Go away! You are embarrassing yourself.

After many years and such a successful opening group targeting the London System, I broke off to start a group: Jobava London System.

if you want to play the jobava-rapport "system" make sure not to wing it and actually learn all the unique families of counterplay and when exactly they are played. Trust me when i say that agaisnt a good opponent you do not want to "wing" it. You can get in trouble either with the b2 pawn, or pressure on c3, or if you do dxc5 at the wrong time, end up with no center.

I personally believe that as a beginner it is said that Nc3 is bad, however, the Jobava is basically like an Italian setup. However you can't copy d4 c4 on e4 f4 as it is weak. So Jobava is slightly worse than c4 because it allows more draw chances, but even with a perfect opening, middlegame and endgame still matter.

GM Ginger covered the Jobava London System

For those who think that they are better than him, he is a Grandmaster.

Countering Jobava London System

Let me refute that go Na4 after Qb6 and if Qa5+ c3 b5 then you didn't see this Nc5! Bam black has no development and no good pawn breaks. If b4 then a3 and if black gets greedy with bxc3 the b4 and white is better
