Fight the English Opening - Jobava's Repertoire

GM Baadur Jobava and GM Pier Luigi Basso

We are excited to introduce English Opening – Jobava’s Repertoire, the latest course by GM Baadur Jobava and GM Pier Luigi Basso. This course provides a complete and aggressive repertoire for Black against the English Opening, based on 1.c4 c5.

This course is the final piece in Jobava’s Full Repertoire for Black Against the Closed Openings, following his two highly successful courses:
🔗 The Ambitious Queen's Gambit Accepted
🔗 Jobava London Reversed – Top-Level Repertoire for Black

By combining these three courses, you will have a fully structured and practical repertoire against 1.d4, 1.c4, and all Closed Openings, crafted by one of the most creative and aggressive players of our time, GM Baadur Jobava.

Why 1...c5 Against the English?

The English Opening is a common weapon at all levels, often leading to slow, maneuvering play. However, Jobava's approach with 1...c5 turns the tables, immediately fighting for the initiative and ensuring complex and dynamic positions.

Unlike the popular 1...e5, which often transposes into a Reversed Sicilian, 1...c5 is an underrated yet highly practical weapon that allows Black to fight for the full point. While 1...e5 requires deep knowledge of White’s plans in Sicilian-like structures, 1...c5 is more flexible, intuitive, and strategically rich, making it an ideal choice for all styles of play.

What’s Inside?

15 Theoretical Chapters – Covering all key variations and typical plans.
30 Interactive Test Positions – Reinforce your learning with challenging exercises.
Memory Booster – An efficient tool to help you retain key lines.
Video Version (5+ Hours Running Time) – Watch GM Baadur Jobava and GM Pier Luigi Basso break down their ideas.

Who Is This Course For?

🔹 Players who want a dynamic, fighting repertoire against the English Opening.
🔹 Those looking for a complete system against all Closed Openings, following Jobava’s structured repertoire.
🔹 Anyone who wants to catch opponents off guard with fresh and modern ideas.

A Final Piece to Jobava’s Repertoire

This course perfectly complements Jobava’s full Black repertoire, ensuring that you are prepared for all White's Closed Opening setups. Whether you already play The Ambitious QGA or Jobava London Reversed, this course completes the puzzle, giving you a fully harmonized and easy-to-learn system.

Get ready to play 1...c5 with confidence and ambition, following the creative genius of GM Baadur Jobava!
