It is now 11.03pm in Riga, Latvia. Oskars Karlis Klaumanis is sitting in his dimly lit kitchen, hunched over a tiny desk, with a cigarette in his right hand and a beer in his left. He returns the cigarette to the ashtray, a twirl of smoke coiling around the three empty Aldaris bottles in front of him. Oskars takes a long swig, leans back in his chair, sighs, and closes his eyes. There she is again, a free queen.

If you're not just outright dropping pawns and pieces for nothing..... You'll be 800 with no effort.

I've been playing this since your last Jobava video and I just had a game where my opponent moved his bishop to d7 after I put my knight on b5, so when I captured on c7, his king couldn't move and he had no choice but to sacrifice his queen! I love this opening!

Very good games illustrating the ideas of the Jobava London. Beginners lose at the opening, intermediate players lose at the middle games, advance players lose at the end games, masters lose by making "slight errors" in evaluating proper plan the position calls for and the Super GMs lose at the latest novelty discovered by the other Super GM at move 23 either by themselves during preparation with the aid of the chess engines or at the board by sheer genius.

The way you explain why you move the knight to which square to keep your bishop open is very good. A lot of chess masters forget to mention stuff like that because it's obvious but the explanation helps lower rated players remember. If you know why you are doing something it's easier to remember. If You Know The Way Broadly You Will See It In Everything. Keep up the great instructional teaching, it's very valuable, and push your courses more it's ok to promote yourself, and your courses. Also your dry sense of subtle humor is completely under rated.
