Longer Chess Games #63 The Jobava London System - A Common Trap

In this video, I stream a long play game in the London Jobava System. Hopefully, you will gain some useful tips. The time limit is 15+10, my aim is to really explain the thought processes behind the moves that I am playing.

My opponent (Aldo) is rated around 2250, yet still falls into a common trap...

I love this section with long time controls where we can learn from the GM's mind. Thanks Simon!

A practical and in depth tutorial here, more in depth than many other tutorials on YouTube.

Honestly this is the 2nd time I've watched this Game very recently. My thanks to Albert for the game, it was great! Very instructive by Ginger, verbalizing so well his thoughts process Ginger is extremely helpful in the way he expresses his reasoning. Ginger for your audience, this fashion of expressing your anticipated opponents plans is premium instruction! This is Grand Stuff greatly appreciated and well done. As always Sir wishing Blessings and rich Thanks from Oregon. So hope to see this style of hosting your play again please. Warm Regards, .. "Oregon Mike H"

Great instructive game. So many themes explored, not just those applicable to London Systems.

I definitely learn much more from Simon's videos than any of the shorts from other creators covering current tourneys and matches.

Thank you GingerGM, I love you ! I play the Jobava since you adviced this opening, and this particular type of game with Nb5 for white and Na6 for black is happening a lot at my level (around 1700). I often struggle to find ideas against it to break through but you gave some good examples that I'll reuse :)
