Jobava-Prie Coverage in Literature

Hi Guys 

 

Does anyone know of any books that cover the Jobava-Prie line with Nc3 and Bf4? 

 

Obviously there is no complete book on it but I wondered if there was a sneaky chapter here or there in any of the new London books.

 

Cheers

I think people are just calling it the Jobava opening. Anyway it's probably best to just look at his games and see what you can get from that.

I think he just tries to mix it up in the opening. That g4 h4 thing can happen in the slav:

Thanks for the response!! I wondered if there was anything in the Agile London system from New in Chess but it seems not happy.png

Chances are the best coverage you will find anywhere is on chesspublishing.com, where Eric Prié himself used to annotate games for the relevant section, called d-Pawn Specials.

 There is a chapter on this variation in the book The Veresov: Move by Move by Jimmy Liew. The chapter does go over some of the high level games played with it to give you a general idea, the commentary is good, but it is by no means a complete coverage of the Jobava variation.

In "The Agile London Sysytem", pgs 207-218 are devoted to the Jobava Attack, with a couple of games with him and Richard Rapport.  

Intersting statement on pg 207: "Theory has moved on from the days when playing c2-c4 was the only approved idea for White in the Queen's Pawn Openings and nowadays in many lines it is fine to develop the knight first."

I suggest getting chessbase 15 where you can use the analytical tools used by chess professionals to understand any opening including the Jobava London. GM Simon Williams I believe has a dvd on this opening as well as one at Chessable.

GM Simon Williams covers it but I’m skeptical of him in general. I sometimes think he might be more interested in selling courses to impressionable club players and less on doing really good analysis (and I don’t blame him he’s trying to make a living) Also that’s just my opinion and what do I know lol

Simon Williams has indeed made a Chessable course on it.

The choice of lines for forming a white repertoire is very good, but the analysis is severely lacking, both in depth, and quality. I have bought the course, and after browsing it a bit I felt like I had burned some banknotes for fun. I have to agree with your comment.

The refund policy of 30 days on chessable seems very fair though I´ve never used it.

The book does covers this variation including two annotated games from Jobava himself as well as games from Rapport and Prie. This an example game from the book (excluding annotations):
