I tried to trick a police officer with donuts and am currently serving 6 months for attempting to bribe a police officer. This will give me plenty of opportunity  to learn the jobava London.

Can't wait for Your Jobava course, I've checked Niemman's, James Canty, Ginger GM courses on Jobava London, but I'm sure You gonna deliver best content. Don't stop making videos, I'm just stunned that Levy got more subs than You. Wooden spoon for his fans, we, Alex Banzea fans, know where's the good stuff!

Watching chess videos while on vacation and drinking wine… people look weird at me why I watch chess 😂
I understand every move he played, but when it comes to my games opponents always play something so different and I lose on time 😂

I main english but was not able to cross the 1000 barrier, decided to binge watch your jobava london series and fuck it apply it to a 910 ish ELO game and it work so fine since most of the lines are opening theory, now im in 1100 with 78% winrate on jobava but I always struggle on endgame, thanks for the teaching alex!

I realize that playing the Jobava can be considered a war crime. But Alex has placed  the Caro into the same category, an opening I once considered a most probable loss for black. Great teacher.

Alex. You've seriously helped me with my chess. You teach very well and it's obvious you have done your research and have the experience. Please don't change a thing. And please, repeated videos on specific openings do NOT get old because we get to see the same things over but with subtle variations and this is important to learners such as I.

Even simple things like encouraging us to double our pawns when necessary because there can be advantages. I'd be scared to never do that because it looks awful. So thank you. And the pawn storm has really improved my win rate.

Thank you!
