Getting Started with the Jobava London!

It is an interesting blog about an interesting opening.
There are other ways for black to defend.
Here is an ICCF correspondence game:

Thank you.

The game looks interesting. White got a nice positional advantage. 9.Bxa6 is something I would've done. Jobava in correspondence is quite a rare thing, right?

Very interesting opening and great analysis. I hope to try the opening to get out of the boredom of my own opening with white.

Thank you, it's indeed a great opening to try out main thing is that it's not played much, so most of the time when 1.d4 Nc3 is played, your opponents get surprised and don't know how to proceed. I've won tons of games in OTB rapid and blitz when my opponent blunders in the first 10-20moves

Thank you for your feedback . The other interesting point of adopting a favorite opening which is not common is that most of the time in the opening you are on familiar ground whereas your opponents have continously think about the best move .

"Take your opponent to a deep, dark forest where 2+2=5" - Tal
That deep, dark forest is the Jobava :)

Oh nice! I've seen the Short and Sweet one, that's where the quote "d4 Nc3 Bf4 g4 whenever you can" comes from.
