Never thought I'd be talked into playing the Jobava but here we are

No streamer has helped my ELO grow like Naroditsky. Thank you so much, you are the best teacher on KZfaq

Even after selling the course Daniel can’t help giving some for free 😂 What an amazing guy !!

For those like me who never heard of this at 17:54: 'In my book Secrets of Practical Chess, I introduced the term “collinear move” to describe a move such as this, in which two opposing pieces face each other, and one slides along the line of attack without capturing the enemy piece. For some reason such moves are very easy to overlook." - John Nunn

29:43 "very good sussy baka got it" XD

You know you're good at chess when you close your eyes to calculate your moves... Meanwhile I'm over here staring at my screen drawing arrows forgetting to blink.

This tutorial speaks colossally to my missing link!! For the love of God; Naroditsky is by far, the best online chess teacher, by a long shot, wide open. Take the plunge! I play in the spirit of this style and usually loose on time in blitz but it always so sharp and I’m so close: this helps substantially! Hall of fame one of the greats: you are forever in my humble book! Thank you bruv

Daniel is the best GM for learning Chess, love these theory speed run videos

I've been binging your speedruns these past few days and I gotta say this episode is the best one so far. Energy, excitement, substance, depth. The appreciation you're showing for the many variations is so contagious! I got some really fun blitz games of my own out of this, cheers!

I just started studying chess again for the first time in years. I have studied the Yugaslav Attack Variation of the Sicilian Dragon extensively. This feels so natural for me. Thanks again Daniel

Love the Jobava course!

Super informative! Thanks Danya!

This was a phenomenal video I’m going to save this and rewatch it

As always, very informative. Thank you!

Great video! Thank you so much! ❤

Not gonna lie, these higher elo videos sort of intimidated me as an 1100 blitz player but these attacking concepts were incredibly practical and helpful!! Daniel is a national treasure. Protect him at all costs

Your videos are really instructive!! Thank you!

Always great content

Eyy finally first! Just wanted to say I really appreciate the amount of effort you put towards your course, even to the extend of adding extra lines because of the recent Jobava London speedrun.

Incredible. Really love this opening. I am going to enjoy playing this.

Brilliant to watch, fascinating

❤ Todah Rabah Dan for your video!

I’d love for you to do a series going over classic games that those without coaches may have never been exposed to, such as the Rubinstein game here. Thanks as always for the great instruction!

I think that because Daniel is so approachable, sometimes you forget the fact that he is a GM, and he really knows his stuff.

Excellent explanation. Very clear

Amazing content

thanks for the incredible course and incredible video we owe you many elo points

Yay more jobava london!

MORE VIDEOS ON THIS. Bought the course love it

Thanks for such a great video! These are very instructive and you are an excellent teacher.

Jobava is definitely in my repertoire & one of my fav’s. I may be a little late to this vid but have to say, I totally understood everything you were explaining. This is a golden nugget of great info for anyone who is wanting to study the game. I can only imagine your course must be outstanding 🤘… Anyone out there that can tell me how they liked the course?

Never thought I'd hear Daniel say sussy baka in this lifetime, but you live to see something new everyday.

Bought the course. Worth it👍

thanks love

His opponent was so ready for this lol

Wow.. as a fairly good(2200+ rapid on Lichess) Jobava London player myself the amount of attacking ideas I got from this video 🔥🔥😤😤.. can't wait for the next vid 😎... don't knock yourself forgetting some lines this just shows us what to do when we don't remember..keep calm and play on..🔥

Your interview with Sagar Shah is gold, learned so much .

legend

Danya, you once said in a speedrun video (maybe 1 year ago or so ?!), when playing the Jobava London, something like "this is a great opening to play, but make no mistake, I do not recommend it for lower rated players". Now you recommend your course not only for intermediate and master level players, but also for beginners with a rating above 1000 - what made you change your opinion? Can you please give your reasoning, why it might still make sense not only as a surprise and somewhat tricky opening, but maybe also as a good basis for longer-term development of good fundamentals and positional play - THANKS! 🙂

This is nothing short of epic. I’ve been playing Jobava London since Hans Neiman’s course came out, but Danya’s and Bortnyks course is a game changer.

Better teacher for the Jobava London, than Mr. Jobava himself.

Not gonna lie, the more I watch these speed runs, the more I’m thinking that there are a few inaccuracies in Simon Williams’s Jobava course .

We love you Dayna!!

I mean this is just so so good

So much of this goes way over my head, but it's still fun to watch

this might be the best game ive ever seen on the speedrun

Excellent title and thumbnail

It’s not shilling if you put the work in and believe in what you’re selling; that’s just good business

I always thought the London was kind of a boring opening, but that was actually a really tactical and fun game! I may need to look into that course lol

So comforting to see GMs also forget lines and miss things. Me with my measly 1000 elo crying every time I make a silly mistake and lose the position.

Daniel evangelizes a dubious opening and gets a lost position. Then justifies it by suggesting that his opponent could go astray because the position is unusual. He is absolutely correct. The majority of the games I have lost are because of this. However, I would not have played Be6, maybe Rc8.

With the "unexpected pawn recaptures" at 55:00, one good example is in game 2 of the Nepo vs Ding WCC. Ding didn't expect gxf6 and the rook on g8 ended up being decisive. A "bad example" is Tal trying to do that on Game 3 of his WCC vs Botvinnik lol but even he said he knew it was bad in his analysis

love watching you make guys bust danya

Look at that lovely book case of knowledge,real chess player with real books.

Would it be possible to add chat to the videos? I like when twitch chat says "hi yt" at the beginning

Opponent: ...makes a move... Danya: *explains eight different lines,* "Clearly our opponent has studied this opening"

how do u deal with ur opponent shoving his pawns down ur throat? i usually just end up folding

Buy their Jobava London course - so complicated not even GMs can remember it!

12:00 should absolutely think about centralizing the c3 knight via e2-d4

By the way I play this EXACT set up and push my pawn again for it to be taken by their knight and I sac the rook for a double exclam everytime. Beautiful checkmating ideas and black has to play very precisely.

Hey, Danya. I appreciate what u doing, I think we should actuually be paying u for this😅.. I've read ur books and have been following u ever since. But just one question, why have u not covered the World Championship? That would've been really awesome!

Can I enter the Jobava file in chessbase? Not only lichess and chessable. Thanks. 😊

Love this opening, but I've had people play Nf6 then d6. What do you do then?

Me after learning tons of theory in e4 lines to be prepared for the speedrun and then seeing d4 😖

Never seen a guy who's more humble to his followers than danya .

At 2:35 isn't it a bad idea of starting the pawn storm before your opponent castles because they haven't committed to one side yet and can just castle queenside?

Danya, good job taking Eric Hansen to the cleaners with the Jobava.

Where can i interact with you online when you play these games?

I play vs modern defense h4 as early as 3rd or 4th move it rly creates a lot of problems (thats 1600-2000 online elo)

How can I contact you Daniel..plz reply...

Where can i buy this course?

Wish the next Speedrun would be about 1.d4

i can see the galaxies and beyond now

My biggest problem with playing the Jobava is that I end up playing against the French, Caro Kann and Pirc defense... I play E4 as my main opening, so it keeps transponsing to those lines.

Shill away man. If you start spruiking Pepsi I might find it a bit on the nose but your own chess course that you made, go for it!

16:03 why not play kh7 and after rook takes queen play rc7?

Why is he using the name of the opening without Rapport?

Has anybody noticed that Daniel looks like jake gyllenhaal?? I love your videos btw

Can i play it with the reverse order? D4d5 ?

I feel bad for the guy, man’s sub 2k wants to hit it to finally log off but gets a game against a GM. That would tilt me the f out lmao

@29:42

29:40 the voice just drops after he said sussy baka like he was disappointed in the name

Bro is mot advertising his course well, both times he makes a mistake in the opening

Clickbait title wtf Danya :D! Love ya!

Another brutal attack - which is always fun to watch - but really the game was ruined by the blunder ... Rac8. Black played too quickly, which is a lesson in itself, thx.

How can we buy the course?

59:20 ba2?

😮

Is it any coincidence that Yubaba from spirited away and Jobava of the chess London are Giga-Chads and have similar names. I think not.

Haven't seen Jeffrey Xiong for a while; what's he up to?

i'm now 15 and i started learning chess 2-3 years ago and now i'm 2400-2500 can i become a GM soon ??

38:45 I doubt Rubinstein watches on youtube

common danya W

Anyone know what Dani charges for lessons or if he even does them? Think.. if his free content is this good....

I have been thinking about picking up the Jobava, but honestly watching Danya struggle to find the best moves after analyzing it for 50+ hours has sort of convinced me that this opening is a bit hard to play.

Imstil deciding on buying the course or not

Danya out of theory on move 8 in his own course. Unprecedented.

Knight e4 is GG for me. Kills me most of the time.

34:41 ЗАДВИИИНУЛ!!!!

Jobava speedrun ?!
