all this positional play and mindblowing tactics in a 3 minute game - these guys are true chess monsters

Love the Jobava london content, i thought the london was lame until i learned this system!

Very instructive. Appreciate your explanations on alternative moves.

Today is my birthday and this was a nice surprise, thank you. Would definitely love to see your take on Firouzja's handling of the position as black.

Thanks. I'm moving from standard London to Jobava so very helpful!

This was very nice

Great game! As you said, instructional.

I really enjoy your concise and informative commentary. Keep it up! As a matter of interest may I prevail upon you to disclose your chess rating? Also can you recommend a london type system for Black. Would that be the Sicilian? I look forward to your reply. Andrés.

I am 2150 over-the-board, 2350 online. The closest system to the London for black is probably the slav, The London is essentially a slav reversed up a tempo. There really isn't anything against e4. Although, a lot of London players like to play the Caro-Kann.

I'd love to see the Firouzja game, I have been playing the Jobava London for over a year now after originally learning it from Ginger GM, and I keep learning new lines all the time, really fun opening!

That was stunning.

10:54 Although Qxb6 is a very flashy move, isn't Qe8 the classiest checkmate in one?

No: black Queen can move to F8 to block it.

Yea...that was filthy

Beautiful ❤

I saw Bxe6, but didn't like Re8, Qxb5, Rxe6, which seemed to lose a piece - once it was on the board then I could see that the knight would fall, but I failed to see that from the earlier position.

My guess is that Hikaru probably saw this intuitively.

Why again was Qxd6 not the same fork if white plays c5?

After white forks it with c5 is the next move Qe5 threatening the capture of the rook plus hindering Pxb6? If so, it’s nice to show this variation since it’s the critical move of the game.

c5 does still win here. But, as Reckon described, it is not as clean as the game.

Black king can go F8 instead resigning ? seems liek white should win this game

bro sound like an ai
