I was showing this opening to a class of kids ranging in age from 6-11. It took only seconds for this thing to be re-christened the "Jo Mama" London.

I learned something! Ben's middle name! Now like everything else I learn from Ben's lectures, I'll forget it in the next hour or 2.

This is my first time watching this guy and i can already tell i like him. Thank you for that video, mate!

Your simple explanation of the differences between the two Londons is profound and insightful. You have a unique ability to strip away the nonsense and quickly deliver the truth. I see the "Dean of Chess" title in your future.

I've been playing this wrong the whole time, kinda trying to make it work like a regular London. Great lecture

[GaryTheGray]

I'm a little late for the show, but I still appreciated the content. Thank you.

[MrSupernova]

Brilliant lecture! I've seen many of your lectures but I found this one the most instructive so far. I've been trying to learn the London but I didn't know where to start and this was perfect. Thanks!!

[Jordan-Tech]

I checked a few videos about Jobava's, It's really the best one..

[someguyontheinternet]

"the better player will win in the jobava". Fck, no wonder I keep losing in it.

[Iadonis]

one of the most underrated Chess Channels on YouTube... this channel should have atleast a billion subs honest opinion

[EnergyCenterTV]

Jobava London crushes all my opponents unlike any opening i have ever used and I'e played over 20, 000 games of chess.

I would be interested in a lecture of black's counterplay against Jobava London. One feature of this opening seems the tempo white has.

[plankdancer]

Thought I'd go practice what I learnt, got black 3 times in a row and lost all games.
