​@@ignis6144 sorry, not everyone is American

no

No, just modern

no because he is preserving the center ;)

It would be the opposite of a modern, actually

It’s standard theory

My pleasure!

Did you pay your way or take the bailout?

Student loan forgiveness is tied up in court...nobody has taken it as yet. Also, the forgiveness would cover just a portion (1/8 of the average total) student debt held by those earning master's degrees. Do you read past the headlines?

​@@kcm9058what a condescending comment lol

​@grantjones1138 how are you going to say someone has a condescending comment when yours was a condescending comment to begin with? People like you make me so grossed out, I bet you have a bumper sticker that says F your feelings, but yet, those are your feelings lol.

Don't you have Easter holidays this week?

A simple man

Did make me curious about the system ngl

You start with d4 and you are refusing go into the most testing line in history, the Queen's Gambit, I mean the Jobava is okay, but it's really for experienced players that know their weakness, for a beginner/intermediate is a terrible opening.

@@nimzodorf I don’t agree, the Jobava is certainly very viable at all levels. I also don’t see the reason for going into ‘testing’ lines for intermediate/beginner players, not just because of long theory, but the general ideas of the position which become a bit complex and nuanced.

​@@nimzodorf simply saying that c4 is impossible and not mentioning the benefits of the jobava makes your argument look very one sided

@@rushadsattar2256 Viable doesn't mean it's actually beneficial for your chess, there is a reason you shouldn't play the scandinavian as a beginner it gives you bad habits on opening fundamentals while being viable at most levels except elites, the Jobava London is doing the same, while it's viable you are playing a very anti positional opening, dont quote it from me, I am pretty sure Naroditsky said it a year ago before doing his course. Objectively the queens gambit teaches you a lot about Chess and Chess structures, the Jobava and the london is the same structure will not help your chess improvement in the long run, also about "testing" you are not playing against Topalov on the beginner/intermediate levels, you are most likely not going to get theoretical moves and that's even better because you learn what to do instead of blinding just doing the same moves like the London. I am not stopping anyone if you like the Jobava and have fun play it (even I suffer from the same sin playing Kalashnikov from time to time), but it's not an excellent opening, specially for beginners/intermediates.

@@hellothereuser1878 The jobava has some benefits, that you are most likely more prepared than your opponent, you will get good double edge positions (hell even Kasparov lost against it), but thats about it then again you are not learning Chess just the Jobava, since its the same structure do you know how to play against an IQP, or hanging pawns, in tournaments you are begging to be a victim of dynamics moves that you will most likely lose because you play the jobava only, in addition you are not contesting the center, and for me that's a cardinal sin to teach a beginner/intermediate and say yea, that's okay to not fight for the center. That's why no beginner is playing hyper modern opening, not saying the Jobava is bad, but you have to walk before you run you know?

He's not wrong, though. If you can't pay for lessons, just get beat by stronger players until you improve. Like every other nonmaster level scrub in existence.
