Why does everyone keep getting the name of this opening wrong?
The correct name is Mark's Opening:
Your main variation goes 1.d4 Nf6 2.Nc3 d5 3.Bf4 Bf5 4.Nf3 but u should know that Jobava and almost every titled players goes for 4.f3 with g4 in mind.
Your variations are rather innocuous so don't be surprised if we don't call it the Mark's opening...
It's the first 3 moves that define the opening. The fact that some players deviate from the mainline after that doesn't justify changing the name of the opening.
Not true. With Nf3 played like this it's neither the Jobava nor "Mark's Opening" but the Barry Attack
