I really like this video as I generally play the London opening. I have only been playing one year so I will be watching this video over and over. Thank you for all your videos.
I also got banned from actually from studying the Italian game opening and using GM Igor smirnovs videos and learning all the lines and traps. I played 90 something percent accurate. But that’s the only opening I’m able to play that well…LOL
Great presentation! Did I get that right, those traps stream from the Jobava system? Also, could you please one day show us the chess set which stands in your background? It looks like one of those popular wooden chess like the one I got in Moscow. Anyway, thank you again!
Good day igor, excellent & faboulous techinques indeed... i wish you were my coach but your videoes is very helpful & beneficial. Thanks a lot & have a pleasnt day.
As an avid chess player that pretty much uses the London opening, it is rare that black plays these openings. I usually see pawn to e6 to open the bishop file which makes this trap dead or knight to a6.
I believe that this variation is known as the Jobava London system. It's definitely worth exploring if you are looking for a solid opening for white even if you can't always spring this juicy trap.
Igor! Pawn to E5 is the end of the attack. After Nd7 and white pushes the Pawn to E6, the Knight can then jump to D5 blocking the Bishop once again whilst being backed up by the other Knight on C6. This does indeed leave the king to be pushed by white’s Pawn, resulting in a bit of a Bong Cloud for black. I have had to deal with this many times at my level of 800. Maybe I am missing something here, Sir. I am always ready to stand corrected 😁✌️
4:20 "In most cases they will". That's not actually very accurate at 1400+. There are two other moves most played: f6 and Be7. However, f6 is a blunder and with Be7, Black's best option at the moment, there is still another nice trap: 6. ... Be7 7. Bxe7 Qxe7 8. e3 Qxe5 9. Qxd5 Qxd5 10. Nxc7+ Kd8 11. Nxd5, making use of the same ideas you presented for other lines. Fascinatingly, the opening is called the Rapport-Jobava System which indicates the same thing might be possible for Black? Very interesting! There are many things to explore here. Thanks!
The problem is that good oppinents quite unlikely fall into these traps and then you might have no plan how to continue. This might be not the way you develop into a good player, if you want something like that
This seems good so I tried it. My first three moves worked beautifully, but then my opponent's 3rd move was A6. Now what? Seems like the whole trap has been blown up as B5 is now protected by Black's pawn.
04:30 "In most cases they will take the bishop". The move Be7 seems much more natural, why is that move not in your video? Ah yeah, I forgot .... it's stupid clickbait.
Jobava is just really trappy. You always gotta be thinking of c7 or you can lose in 3 moves. People fall into the trap because 2QP games are so rich in positional fun. Well I short circuit all the positional fun by playing the Indian game. Heheh.
@@walterbrownstone8017 Ah, I meant if they play 3. e4 after the first two moves. If you try to play the Nimzo, you'll get forced into the French by having to play d5. If you go for a King's Indian, you'll get forced into the Pirc by having to play d6. I always do this as a Jobava london player because opponents don't expect going from a d4 defense to an e4 defense
@@menace202 Usually, it seems, if you transpose from e4 to d4 or vice versa it's probably not the best choice. But that's my opinion from playing 5 thousand blitz games. Which isn't really all that much. I still timeout in 20% of the games.
How did this (seemingly simple) trap escape Morphy and all others for hundreds of years?? With Stafford, and Busch-Gass, maybe Chess education has to be re-thought ....

Why when magnus play like stockfish is praised,but when i play like stockfish i am banned??
😂
Not only you, even Hans Nieman got banned by Magnus when he beat him offline..😂😂😂
Yeah thats some BS..
They act like they are the only good players Hikaru also act like that

Good stuff! I have used plan 'A' here several times, now I can't wait to try the e4 variation, since many opponents play Bf5 against the London.
Good day igor, excellent & faboulous techinques indeed... i wish you were my coach but your videoes is very helpful & beneficial. Thanks a lot & have a pleasnt day.
10:03 caught me off-guard 😂
😂😂😂😂😂

Why black cannot play queen check at 8:01 after we move the knight? What has changed if they moved their knight first?
Your videos are so good 🙏🏽
🙏🏽
At 8:08 , why does black not just go queen a5 with the double attack on king and the knight?
The Knight on b5 can block the check
@@AR15rules Pawn c3 is better: Nb5 is guarded by Bf1 and the thread Nc7+ K&R lives on.
@@robertocollo2890 ahhh yes I didn't see that the Knight was defended, thanks for helping me!

Thank you so much, I got the idea and now I increased my rating from 800 to 1600
9:37: what about black: c5?
Can you do a video on pirc:maróczy defence
Yes, I’ve been playing the Jobava system for a few months and it is free wins.
"....black is oppressed....sounds like a history lesson" 10:03 is crazzyyy😭😭😭😭😭😭
London system on steroids😂
Indeed
The problem is that good oppinents quite unlikely fall into these traps and then you might have no plan how to continue. This might be not the way you develop into a good player, if you want something like that
As soon as i see the opponent move nc3 after starting london, i immediately block b5.
This is my favorite opening.
No!!! You're wrong: in the time 7:56 Queen a5 delivers a check to the king and can capture the knight on b5; so there is no fried liver attack.
This seems good so I tried it. My first three moves worked beautifully, but then my opponent's 3rd move was A6. Now what? Seems like the whole trap has been blown up as B5 is now protected by Black's pawn.
then you shock them once again, this time with a right hook😂
Thanks for the instruction, but that was more than 3 moves or did I miss something?
No after 3 move it's unavoidable
I move the queens pawn to D4 and they just go C5 and all plans are out the window 😢
The Jobava London
Bro they have to know what they are doing with these poses lol
What if the pawn goes a6?
04:30 "In most cases they will take the bishop". The move Be7 seems much more natural, why is that move not in your video? Ah yeah, I forgot .... it's stupid clickbait.
from India bro
When I try this my opponent plays pawn a6 😭
Grab the pawn on f7 and be a rook up after queen moves?
@@joustmaster_69no, a6 to prevent Nb5
@@hordewithbenoni9520 then play principled chess and you have a lead in development
Tried about 7 times and it hasn’t worked once.. disappointing

great video but everyone of your moves i try and i get killed

You almost feel sorry for black it’s so bad 😊
Of all the trap videos you have, this is the worst one. Lost 160 points from trying these ridiculous lines that no one above 1000 will fall for.
