This video changed my life. I immediately won my next 4 chess games, got a DM from a girlfriend who dumped me 2 years ago, was hit on in the men's room and added about 2 inches (measurements approximate because I'm at work). Thank you Alex!

work shouldn't keep you from measuring, be your true self...

I'm 10 minutes in and I already gained like half an inch. It really works

Im surprises you lasted that long

don't ever think people dislike the amount of videos on the london or caro kann. In fact it's the main reason i love your content. These 2 openings are pretty much my entire repertoire so knowing a lot about it is really good for me. Please keep making these videos.

Sometimes I wonder if I’m here for the chess or the humor 😅

IM Alex during a blitz: slowly, methodically explains how he's going to crush. Me: Why am I a minute down, panicking and can't remember what to do.

Lol!

One of the most underrated chess channels on KZread! I feel like I absorb and learn the most from your page, as well as Danya and Hanging Pawns. This guy is gonna blow up soon

You are truely spoiling us with these constant and loooong videos! I wish more youtubers would make longer videos, thanks a lot for doing just that!

I did not know that system openings have better win rates. But I like the idea of not worrying about little inaccuracies because you will eventually get a position you are comfortable with.

I say it again.. why has Alex only have 58k subscribers? Actually I am thankful that my opponents don't access it.

44:25 "a ROOKie mistake/". That's very punny!

Hey Alex, NEED MOAR videos!

The humor. is gold. The teachings, are big size.

Alex always manages to blend the entertainment and educational parts of these vids so well. Really great stuff!!

Thanks Alex! I look forward to the course!

Alexandru, I'm a big fan of your courses on chessable! I like the way you explain everything, the style of play and the positions that arise on the board. There are no puzzling options and wild complications, just a confident and good positional game, but at the same time many options are not devoid of poison, it is very attractive and fits my own style of play. I wish you success in all your endeavors and look forward to your repertoire against 1.d4, 1.c4, 1.Nf3.

Your videos really help me, and your sense of humor is the best🤣

Once again you saved the best for last. Awesome news that a new Jobava course is on the way.

Great video as always.👍

I really enjoyed this video, love to see more content like this that is applicable to the 1.e4 players, such as these anti-Pirc lines which can transpose out of 1.e4.

Really appreciating your videos, love your comments

Dude, your introduction is hilarious. Love your videos.

Alex ,at the end of this year you will be 100.000 subs and by the second one 1.000.000.keep the good work

Thank you alex, you and this ope thing is the reason i still playing chess

great video! I love the Jobava System!!

Thank you for the lesson

I just can't wait for your Jobava London course on chessable! I hope these variations will be in it. 🤞

This guy is hilarious and just great

you're honestly the best teacher out there

This is so fucking cool. You are awesome! 👊

The Jobava London worked fine for me from about February to May 2024. Then suddenly everybody seemed to know the Knight-B5-move, and ever since, I ALWAYS face the a6, the c6, the Bb4+ Variation or at least the d5-e6-Bd6. But it ist still good to see how much fun a few lines in the London actually can be, anyway. Like a landlord of mine once remarked, when I asked him, which Idiot would rent a flat with a water damage on the ceiling like that, after I woud have moved out: "well, you know every morning some fool will get up somewhere for sure".

I love this guy so much, freaking hilarious.

Something about that following game always gets me

Great content bro hope to see this systems for advance players above 1500

Got a monster dong now. Thanks Alex 😊

wow, thanks

Hey Alex we haven’t heard from you in awhile. Are you ok? Love your videos and teaching methods. Hope everything is good with you and your family. ❤

I said, screw this I’m gonna keep playing my classical openings. I lost my job, my dog ran away, my wife left me and I lost 2 inches(both of them)

I am always excited to move on to the following game, but sometimes there is no following game.

I have started trying your Jobava London. It’s pretty fun and free rooks are always nice

literally played my brother while watching and it worked lol

You and Levy need to do a blindfold match for the owner of London and Caro content.

Levy doesn't have a body count over zero

for a chess video, this is incredibly entertaining.

Would be great if you could do more videos with black after 1. d5. I really liked your slav-reversed london vids :)

Any idea when the Jobava course could be up for sale? I own your London and Caro-Kann, the latter finally led to some wins recently when I was lost with the black pieces before. Love your style and your humour Alex! Love from Germany

IM Alex, I hope you see this. Since I started watching your videos about the Jobava London system, my ELO has reduced but I have become a better player. The reason my ELO reduced is because I am always playing against individuals of 1600-1800 Elo. I did not have any chance against them before your videos but now, I win some and even if I lose, I give them a hard time before I eventually blunder. ❤❤❤❤ I will get better for sure. If I become a GM before you, 😂😂😂😂 I will tell the world you were the bus that took me there. Thanks 👍👍👍

Really enjoying the caro-kann chessable. Haven't lost yet by just developing. Recently bought the London chess able because now I found I only like to play as black now. Any more courses planned? Jaba the Hutt London possibly?

Can you explain the difference in the course? One says video and it's a lot more. Does the other one thats much cheaper not include any video content of him teaching?

This absolutely worked the next two games I played against the kings Indian!! And 2 inches added as well

The jokes run deep in this one …love it!! Alex, is this stuff covered in your London course?

I can’t decide to play vienna gambit or london system. Getting back into otb chess after a long hiatus

I grew an inch, just played this on a blitz game to test out and won in 10 moves. It was the sneaky pawn attack down the flank 1.d4 Nf6 2.Nc3 g6 3.Bf4 Bg7 4.e4 d6 5.Qd2 O-O 6.Bh6 Nbd7 7.h4 c5 8.h5 gxh5 9.Qg5 Kh8 10.Qxg7#

Opponents have fell for this so many times against the Pirc KID, I love it, however, at around 2000 level, pushing the early e5 often puts you into some troublesome situations, so enjoy it whilst it lasts, would love to see how you deal with these tricks against a 1900+ higher rated opponents but I guess you have to focus on your main audience, thanks for the videos as always. :)

After learning from Alex Banzea I have lost 2 inches (currently inverted,) lost my girlfriend (see inversion) but have gained over 150 ELO and still improving. Priorities ;)

“He does his nonsense, I do my nonsense” Haha yes. The middle game.

What would you recommend if black is going for the kingside fianchetto setup but they do d5 instead of d6 preventing your go-to game winner plan of e4?

What if Blacks Knight on f6, next move is to jump to e4 to attack the Whites pawn on f2 creating a fork? How would you deal with this? 1:25 / 1:09:44. By the way thanks for the great content your putting out, really appreciate it. 👍

I bought your London System course and have really found it to improve my game. I haven't found the Jababa set up in there yet ?

It’s different opening

I do like your videos, because they do illustrate a few pitfalls in this opening. But man, as an IM, you would crush 800-rated opponents with Grob's Attack :)

Ok after watching all the jobava videos I decided I’m just gonna play it. I am having fun in the few days I’ve been playing but I need advice Since you don’t have a course on it, which resource should I use to help me with standard lines? Hans neimans course, Simon Williams course, or danya’s non chessable png? Which one did you use for your main resource? I like Simon Williams course so far but I’ve heard mix reviews

@AlexBanzea

I have all courses, but I use my 'own ideas'. Danya's course is great for 1800+ IMO, but a bit more on the advanced spectrum. You can watch my videos tho and get a pretty good idea of what I recommend!

@@AlexBanzea I think I’ll go through all your jobava stuff again and just lay out my own private chessable with the candidate moves for some of the common responses since this is around my play level. I’m confused as to when tonplay the h4-5 push or when to play towards the gambit pushing e5 against kings Indian type stupa

You didn’t cover the Nimzo Indian move order as you mentioned in the video. It seems to be quite strong.

Can you please add jobava London lines to the kings indian suggestion of your existing London course? I rather play that than the liens there

Love from Nepal Broo can u make a video on london system all lines lol

How?😂

What if opponent plays doesn't capture e5 and plays nd7 follow by nc6?

If you look on lichess at how many games end up at 7:27 with this EXACT line used for the example, it’s about 5000 games and many are games between 1800-2300s. EDIT: I literally just had a game that followed this exact line all 10 moves all the way to Rd8# …..And my opponent was 1900 Insane.

Any good System Openings for black?

Lol: "I'm not gonna subscribe yet cause this guy looks weired" 😂

It’s a crime you didn’t play pawn to e4 checkmate at 36:46 😔

Not tired of London or Jobava! Never!

Ruy and Caro made my dilly bigger

Alex you good bro?😂

Its grown so big .. to difficult to handle 😅

All jokes aside, the example in the first video occurs alarmingly often. Move for move! And, I've gained almost 1.7 inches

2 years ago I found this opening and it was easy wins with zero theory 😂, now I need theory because turns out this is really good and popular even at low rating

It blows my mind that you get thousands of views but only couple of hundred people puts the Thumbs Up...

Lol. I find this guy to be pretty funny

Jobava looks like 150 attack

😍😍😍

Love the jobava and caro content. Expecially when I gain inches while watching

Nice! Now you're a mushroom in a cornfield.

wow!!!!! Did you realy hired Jobava ??/I ll bet all my money to this !!Congrats!!!

As promised, my pemis got enlarged a lot😆

best opening,try to change my mind.

Better Jobava himself than Raab Himself 😖

I hope you’re doing well. You haven’t posted new content in 6 days, which is unusual for you. ❤

I’m looking for something that takes away inches I’m tired of tripping over it

I like your content a lot but those pre-move endings feel wrong

A “rook”-ie mistake, some would say.

Love your channel but please put a limiter on your audio. Levels are not good.

2:04 to be honest, the penis thing is the main reason i watch your clips.. sometimes i think also about chess for a few seconds. but for the most part...

Your opening doesn't actually matter and stockfish proved it. As long as you don't blunder, you're fine.

Still waiting on those extra inches... 🤬

Its so annoing when when u explain things like to an idiots and waste time but still like it and gained 5cm after vid 😂

Damn dude my back hurts now. I may need penile reduction surgery and my wife is so jealous of my girlfriend....

Be warned! I gained several inches but lost them shortly after the video ended
