We are thrilled to present the next course in the popular English Opening According to Jobava series, authored by GM Baadur Jobava and GM Pier Luigi Basso!
This time, they tackle one of Black’s most reliable setups: the Slav-style structures arising after 1.c4 c6 2.g3.
Following the previous parts:
🔗 Play the Reversed Najdorf – 1.c4 e5 2.a3
🔗 English Opening According to Jobava – Top-Level Repertoire for White after 1.c4 e6 2.g3
this new course continues building a high-class and highly flexible repertoire for White, suitable for players of 1.c4, 1.Nf3, and even 1.d4, due to many possible transpositions.
In this course, Jobava and Basso suggest a positionally sound and theoretically challenging approach. Their analysis is filled with fresh ideas and powerful novelties that put constant pressure on Black.
In critical moments, they provide deep positional insights while also suggesting aggressive ways to take the initiative when the opportunity arises.
💡 Why This Course Is Important:
-
