Race to 100: Jobava London vs The London System

something unexpected(from black's POV) that gives white an advantage

nah, 50$ is fine for me

if he wants to make it 10 its fine ig

too long, first to 3 wins seems to be fine

yeah if u stream I will ask my twitch community to raid u( idk if it will work tho)

15? Lol

How do you study the Jobava?

fine, first to 5 wins, draws count tho so if the score is 4-3 and we have 2 draws the player with 4 points wins

Simon Williams has a chessable course which is what I use. AFAIK it's the only documentation on the Jobava

I have a giant chessbase file on it

this trap has gotten hundreds of thousands of people including Magnus(granted it got him in bullet but still)

Rebus disappeared.. o.0

this one got sam shankland in classsical chess( I believe it was the US open) the game went on but white(gata kamsky) won the game

The chess.com engine says black is winning in the final position

I forgot to say that I messed up in the last few moves and engine usually thinks this wins for black but on deeper depth the evaluation changes, oddly, when Nxd7 was played, the only way to save the game was Qxd7! which leads to a draw

idk

I checked the l*chess.org database and even at the 2200+ level 4.Nc6 is still the most popular move by far, even though it is completely losing. Thats what separates the Jobava from the original London, in the London, most of the traps are either really obvious or rarely occur in practice. But not the Jobava

well no, none of the traps in the london are obvious, wdym!

find the trap here, there is only a small chance that U will find the move without having prepped this position before

I said that they are either obvious, or they barely ever occur in practice. Find me a trap in the London where black is dead lost after his 4th move, that has occurred 10s of thousands of times in high level play. There isn't one.
