We are thrilled to present Chigorin Defense According to Jobava – the latest addition to our Legendary Openings series. In this fascinating course, GM Baadur Jobava breathes new life into the once-dismissed Chigorin Defense, offering a full, aggressive repertoire for Black after 1.d4 d5 2.c4 Nc6.
For years, the Chigorin was viewed as an offbeat, borderline-dubious choice—an opening where Black voluntarily breaks traditional positional rules. But the times have changed. With the help of modern engines and creative minds like GM Jobava’s, old evaluations are being overturned.
