Just a note, after exd5 in the first game e5 is already winning for White. i.e. d4 exf6 dxc3 Qe2 +- . Its a typical trap I have had in both blitz and classical chess.
The difference between a top chess player like you, and amateur like me, is that you see moves for all your pieces (and your opponent's) while I get focused on just one or two.
I just started playing this with the f3, it makes the London really fun to play and players seem confused by the pawn storm to the King side. It would be great if you'd do a video on just that aspect of the Jobava.
I definitely learned a lot from his course. Of course you’ll need to make your own notes according to what opponents from your rating range play, but solid recommendations in all the main lines.
2.Nc3 lets you go for 3.e4 if the opponent relinquishes control of that square on move 2, so you might be able to play with two pawns in the center. It happens frequently against players who are accustomed to the kings Indian, so you have the added bonus of making them play an opening (Pirc) that might be unfamiliar to them and is advantageous for white!
@@AlexBanzea I'll take the time to thank you for the amazing instructional chess content Alex! Between you and Hans Niemann I took back the jobava and I'm having a blast playing the opening. Always looking forward to you posting!
In the first game, after 4. ... exd5? you missed 5. e5! which is completely winning! In my experience, this is a common trap from this move order so watch out for it

Couldnt agree more
There’s a nice queen trap here 19:01 , you play a3, and after you move the bishop they take on b2 and you play Na4 winning the queen
This is one of best series of videos todate,very instructive...
Thanks a lot man for always hanging out in the comments!
I always have problems with the king's Indian defence.. But you make it look so easy!
Thanks a lot. I hope ill be applying what im learning so naturally after a lot of practise.

Now it’s on the list!
What are your thoughts on the 150 attack?
In the Czech Pirc when he played Qb6 you castled. Had you gone a3 you would have set a queen trap. I fell into that trap a few times.
That’s a famous one indeed!
@@AlexBanzea I checked it again and it didn't quite work. You were right to castle!
At 20:12 i think if your pawn was at a3 you would almost trap his queen
Famous one!
question How is Alex Playing against another player or against the computer/ appreciate an answer
always other player
Oh man that first game was ruthless
Gotta punish the Benoni!
Thanks Alex, very instructive video. Is Hans Niemann's course worth it?

Czech Pirc was the first opening I played.
How many pawns did you win on e4?
@@AlexBanzea lol it was my first opening. Half the time I didn't realize I could take it.
why not playing bishop before knight making them think u just playing a London?
Because early Bb5 is kinda main line now.

That is actually a solid answer!
