The calmness with which Alex has 5s on the clock left and his opponent has like 2mins. And then calmly follows several more moves, pensively explained along the way, and suddenly his opponent resigns due to the sudden pressure and blundering a move. Mind blowing.

A Banzea video. The most anticipated piece of content in the chess KZfaq landscape. Get it while it’s hot folks. Btw love the 5 min games, especially for those of us that have been following you for a while, the opening is automatic but i always walk away with new middlegame ideas.. thanks as always

😂😂😂😂 one 🐕 starts barking and then all dogs bark in the neighborhood. This is what these 4 pawns are doing right now 😂😂😂 hilarious

Absolutely loving the Jobava london, I first discovered your channel by searching for caro kann videos and decided to give the good old Jobava a shot and I'm glad I did because it's easily mty favourite opening, Thanks for the great content man!

I have wrongly accused this man of playing chess while skiing 😂😂😂

Been loving the introductions with the highlight positions of each game! Makes it much easier to learn from them as it prepares me for the lines to come :) hope to see this continue!

I hope you don’t mind that on payday tomorrow I am buying your chessable course for both myself and my son Greyson.. hopefully you honor the buy one and share free with your 4yr old deal. You’re the best teacher on YT!!!

I cant wait for your course, in the meantime ive been watching your vids on it and been using James Canty's course to hold me over. I got both your london and Caro course.

Love the videos. This and your Caro Kahn videos. Excellent work!

Alex I not only find your videos instructional, but very enjoyable as well. I really love your style and sense of humor.

The only thing I need is 5 times the length of this video! lol Too good

The Brazzers joke made me laugh my drink through the nose

99.2 % accuracy, meantime Kramnik: this is interesting 😂

Waiting for your Jobava London course, I had purchased the Caro-Kann (61% win rate with it), and now just by learning from your videos on the London I have also over (59% win rate with it). Thanks for the great work, cannot wait for the JBVL from Alex!

Thank you for another entertaining video with excellent instructions too!

Thanks for the course sneak peek while we wait!

Alex casually lets the clock get down to 3 seconds and then casually destroys the opponent lol

You just made my month! Very excited for the new course!

Looking forward to the course, Alex! Thank you for the amazing quality as usual.

Hi Alex - I laughed out loud at the biting /Suarez/Uruguay reference - well done and great content as well

Been a while since I visited your channel. Your Jobava games are solid gold mate, really instructive. I learned the London from watching you a couple of years ago, but have ventured into e4 territory to widen my repertoire, but I’m back for those cheapos baby!!! (Edit: Holy shit, I didn’t realise how much your channel has grown! Congrats my man, well earned,your work ethic is unbelievable!). 100K soon :)

Thank you for this video!! I’m teaching my 4 year your Jobava system and we have been waiting for another video!!! Any suggestions for chess parents from your experience would be awesome content as well! Thank you for all your content and God Bless!!

Thanks for the consistently instructive videos AB

Thank you very much. This opening becomes more and more interesting. Faszinating explanations in this 5 minute games.

great instructions, thanks Alex :)

My new favorite chess channel. Keep it up 🎉

Yay!! Another jobava video from my favorite jobava master! 🤸🥳

I'm definitely finding your pawn storm idea the easiest to play so far. I'm still struggling with early bb4 pin and pawns to c5. Hopefully I can get better but all these videos are amazing to watch. Love the late game tactics too.

Alex thanks for the games - i like the " going to the store in flip flops " part. sadly, i remember all your jokes and that is how i know if i am re-watching a video.

I was really hoping the BIG NEWS was going to be that the course was out today 😅

The course was supposed to be ready last June :D anyway still looking forward to it!

I want to confess that I watch other streamer for a while and then my rating is plummeting. Now I need to rewatching all of your jobava, london, and kid videos to recapture my rating back. Thx for the amazing vid as always

Loving the stach homie

love those videos. So much positive energy

Alex, you're awesome! Thank you for your precious content

Bro the commentary, full comedy, well done lol

*the opponent is from Luis Suarez country* 😂😂😂

Thanks man! I want an Alex Banzea shirt or hat!

Been waiting for a new jobava video, mostly for the jokes but if I can learn some chess that’s a plus😘

I love how at 52:20 you talk about if he had played a "better move" Ne8 while on screen the engine is telling us the original move Nf7 was actually the best move

Good job, thank you !

Thanks for another great lesson. Overall which one do you think is stronger? jobava london or vienna? I have been playing a lot of vienna games and its incredible how far ahead you get if the oponent takes the gambit in the begining.

Another banger of a video. Good stuff. I've transitioned from playing the english to the Jobava exclusively over the last year. I have many thousands of games in the Jobava. I've beat many 2000+ players with it. I like how it makes some very wild and unconventional type of positions. I wish I could chat with you a bit about it. Curious, what do you think about Danya's Jobava course and ideas? I have yet to buy it, so I can't make a full assessment, but it has a few key ideas that differ. For example, in the pawn storm with Bf5, they recommend to get the knight to d5 FIRST before pawn storming. I've attempted this, but find myself less successful(but it could be I'm just gleaming the ideas off videos where he touches on it). I don't typically buy chessable courses anymore, not a fan of the repetitive move trainer(it turns my brain off), but I will almost certainly buy yours if it's loaded with videos. I have two very specific positions I encounter once in awhile in the Jobava, that just wreck me. Wish I could pick your brain about them. I recently experienced it against a WGM and now again today against a random. Anyways, thanks for all the great content and training material :)

@AlexBanzea I've improved from 1100-1600 rapid from watching your videos. Could you show a game with Jobova vs the Grundeld? The pawn on D5 screws up the KID line and I feel like my Jobova Knight is blocking my C pawn. Also how to deal with the immediate pin on your Jobova knight. I didn't know if there are a lot of people playing the Jobova, so people know how to play against it, but it feels like I rarely get the pawn storm or KID, and it just ends up being like a London where my knight is misplaced. Thanks!

" You probably downloaded your tutorial from Brothers" 😂😂

Awesome as usual.

Alex i had my coach says that jobava London is not that of a great opening cuz knight on c3 with bishop on F5 isn't great ,it makes me start to not wanting to play jobava London but I really like this opening 😭

Alex Banzea cultured for recognising the Luis Suarez Country

Ready to purchase!!! One of the best videos u have made!!!! Next, do a French course but not the Fort Knox! Thanks

Any pre-order or kickstarter for your course? Just watching (and trying to learn from) your videos has improved my rating by about 200 Elo (from a very low level). I'll definitely buy the course.

Chess makes much fun to learn with your videos. Much love from germany!

Format and production always leveling up. Bossman Banzea ❤ Additional realtime edit for the barking party 😂🐩

@alexBanzea when will you launch your chessable course of JBL? looking forward to it!

The jobava london has been my mainly opening for the passed 2 months now

NEW VIDEOOO!!! LET'S GOOOO!!!

i swear Alex is one of the funniest guys on KZfaq lol

Love Jobava. Like Alex. 🙂

Alex can you make more videos on facing the Kings or Queens Indian when we start with the Jobava London Setup? Recently I feel like I'm facing them more and more.

Well, I'm usually panicking for you when you're down to 7 seconds mid-game, but you certainly have it all under control.

Hey, thanks for great video, You have viewers from all over the world, greetings from Poland !

need this for the 700 elo too !

at 2:54 (I'm a novice) would knight to e6 not be the best move? pawn takes knight but queen moves in...(like I said...still learning)

Our dose of analogies is up.

Pure pro.

When you are ready for the next paycheck, release the course!

Best chess content on KZfaq.

Today I have a chess tournament. Watching your videos again without any practice is so funny and informative! 🤭😂

"Hey babe, Alex Banzea just dropped a new video in the Jobava Londan... you know, the opening I played 3 nights ago and you wanted me to come to bed. But, I reviewed with you instead, and got so stoked because I won in dominating fashion." "Ok" "Yeah, it's an hour long, Alex my boy." *has a big smile* Actual conversation, I think she likes you too Alex. Pin.

11:23 Pretty sure you've mentioned this!

"Downloaded your chess tutorial from Brazers"... lololol I wonder that has a different meaning in Romania?? lolol.... I always come for the chess lessons and stay for the laughs.. Love your content brother

So funny and so clever. Briliant entertainment and education

Jobava, Caro and Alex forever 😍

Jobava London ❤️ 4ever 🥳🥳🥳

99? That’s sick! I am so happy to get 75+ the only 90% I get are the 15 moves or less

Could you maybe consider making a course on the benko gambit, please?

I’m 600 sometimes and run into the Kings Indian about30% of the time so this is very instructional

Banzai Goatwork 🥶🥶

chief, will you be at the euros in germany?

this guy making puns in a non native language. Brilliant

For the Jobava Course, can you also include of how to play against the Shaviliuk Gambit (d5 &e5).

This is some real gourmet shit!

i l0v3 it mmmhhmm yesyesyes ido. thank you very much Alex. you never let us down, everyday feels like christmas 😁

I mean, this is not a rare idea. This is how the jobava london was originally played by Jobava. Some players still play it like this.

This has become my favorite opening. But i still mess up the middle game too much. Leaving me with a 50-50 win lose rate. But. I shall get there

Hi Alex! Would you like to teach us some endgame theories in the future?

as a KID and Caro-Kann player with black I just get into the Carlsbad structure against the Jobava London. Avoiding that crazy positions

Alex I love you and I play caro because of you and trying out london but I still love the queen gambit but for all of us please shave ( I will also shave from now on )

25:56 hahah

Banzeeeeeus 🔥

Ugh well jeez! That was my problem the whole time, i was getting my chess courses from Brazzers and not IM Alex Banzea!

Lmao game 2 had me sweating for a sec 😅🤣

game 3 cu acelasi cal 2-a briliante la rand :)

Anyone else think Alex sounds like Luffy from One Piece? Has the same zest as well!

Doamne, eu nuj cum poti face lucrurile astea

I lost a tournament game against bishop b4, after bishop takes knight (bxc3) it ruins the whole queen side structure. So no where to castle. Can you address this line in a video?

New recomendation from Ginger GM is to play e3, Nf3, Ne5 and then g4 without f3 - what you think about it?

Alexandru-Bogdan Banzea #1 ❤

How do you deal with them rushing with bb4 by move 4??

Claustrophobic shoes 😂
