This series is just beyond useful. Having most people just show you 10 moves and say " white should be slightly better" and leaving it there is beyond frustrating. I never know what to do in the resulting middlegames!

Hey @alexbanzea, I'm a simple man, and I just got my first Tartakower checkmate using your Queen, black bishop setup. I own both your London and Caro-Kann courses (with videos), and i'm following your guidance in approach for low rated players. Enjoying your chessable courses which really go nicely along with your youtube videos. Very good value and fun to work with. I like your focus on principles and the focus on lower rated games. I haven't looked at your Jovaba London yet. I feel I've still got a lot of work to do with London before switching to Jovaba London.

Can’t wait for the Jobava course to come out! Hey I haven’t seen you make a video on when opponent try’s to refute the pawn storm by taking our G4 pawn with their knight. And after we take knight, they Queen H4. I’ve seen a few variations of this pawn storm refute at my lower 1200 elo. Do you see this attempt to refute pawn storm at the higher elo also?

@AlexBanzea

I recommend at 1000 elo rapid chess.com because below 1000 you can play safe and collect their blunders. The Jobava London is more attacking/loose which can be tricky for new players. So below 1000 I would just do the normal london and play solid, wait for mistakes and capitulize on them by focusing on the puzzle routine.

On the bright side, I came up with a format that's literally blue print from 1000-1800 rapid elos, however it takes a bit of extra time to craft. It's not just a theory course, it will have around 100 model games, exercises, typical endgames and many more. All of this hopefully in a chill manner to not get overwhelmed. Funny thing, Andrea actually got a decent Jobava vs Boston Mike in their latest video haha

@@illuminaut That's fair. But keep in mind, even knowing this I would still trade the Rook for Knight. It leads to a much easier endgame for anyone. Stockfish is being accurate, and technically 3 points is better than 2 (Rook = 5 - Bishop = 3). But the most logical move would be to trade, since for us humans it's much easier to play that endgame. There's a reason why even an IM played that move.
