It is rare in the computer era that an entirely new opening is discovered. Yet this is the case with the Jobava London System. The Opening is a fusion of the Veresov and London Systems, where White combines Nc3 and Bf4. Unclear and sharp positions arise from the beginning of the game.

It is rare in the computer era that an entirely new opening is discovered. Yet this is the case with the Jobava London System.
The Opening is a fusion of the Veresov and London Systems, where White combines Nc3 and Bf4. Unclear and sharp positions arise from the beginning of the game.
In 2020 it is not just the inventor, Georgian GM Baadur Jobava, who is using this system with success. Magnus Carlsen and Hikaru Nakamura have taken a liking to the idea and because of this support, many other Grandmasters are blazing the new trail like Simon Williams who has been a major contributor to the success of this opening.
There are no books even written on the subject so this will be a surprise weapon.
Just following the recommended moves can lead to sharp attacks and crushing wins right out of the opening. Caruana and even Kasparov have fallen victim to attacks that seem to have come out of nowhere!
