🚨New project just dropped! 🚨

The Jobava London has become one of white's trendiest opening systems in recent years. My latest video and lichess study (all free!) show three ideas for black to face it.

Hopefully at least one of them will be right for you!

Have you tried the checker challenge?

@ChessGainz I find that I rarely flag in 3+0 but often flag in 3+2. I get complacent

“One more win and I’ll be done for the evening” is a 100% guarantee of at least 2 losses in a row. Usually more like 6

@thestrongchess @natesolon I wrote the article that image was sourced from, so I double checked to see if I did anything wrong. Nope, AI just thinks you’re one and the same 😂

Today I'm releasing a project I've been working on for a while: Five Setups to Fight the London System!

As part of this project, I made an overview video on YT, as well as a study with all relevant lines over on lichess.

I'll give you a little taste of this project here (1/7):

Setup # 5: The KID

The final approach I examine is King's Indian-based, ideal for players who start with 1...d6, 1...g6, or just all those who love the KID structures.

This one is so flexible that black can choose between all sorts of plans, and I analyze three of them!

@BishopPair This is my favorite pet line in the Scotch! Didn’t know it was named after Tartakower

@natesolon Woah what, that’s no good. I thought I was the chess doofus!

@thestrongchess @thechessnerd I played him, back when I was 1800. He got me. We analyzed it afterwards which was very kind of him as the much higher-rated player at the time

@chessmensch @natesolon Never looked at it but I’ve seen 1. f4 h5 before so maybe I should 👀

@sammywohl @PHChess Aw thank you! I hope you’ve been doing well lately
