GM Baadur Jobava GM Pier Luigi Basso

We are proud to present the latest addition to the English Opening According to Jobava series, co-authored by GM Baadur Jobava and GM Pier Luigi Basso. In this course, the authors deliver a complete White repertoire after 1.c4 c5 2.g3, one of the most strategic and flexible ways to meet the Symmetrical English.

This repertoire is grounded in deep understanding, supported by original novelties and fresh strategic ideas. True to Jobava’s unique style, the course offers options that are both practical and ambitious, designed to steer the game away from heavily analyzed paths and into territory where your understanding can shine.

GM Basso explains:

“Despite its name, the Symmetrical Variation often leads to rich and dynamic positions for both sides. In this work, we give you a powerful arsenal to handle every major system Black can choose—from solid setups like the Fischer and Botvinnik Systems, to modern attempts such as ...h5 and ...a6.”

A special highlight is Chapter 5, which is divided into three subchapters, each covering a critical line in the Fischer System. This structure was carefully designed to enhance memorization and give players a practical tool for study and execution.

Course Features:

✅ 12 deeply analyzed theoretical chapters

✅ 30 interactive test positions to train and reinforce ideas

✅ A Memory Booster for quick review and retention

✅ Video Version with 2h 50 min of instructive explanations

✅ Authored by GM Baadur Jobava and GM Pier Luigi Basso, two of the most creative and practical minds in modern chess

Whether you're already a fan of the English Opening or looking for a new and universal weapon, this course offers a comprehensive, fighting repertoire to face 1...c5 with confidence.
