Jobava London System

The Jobava London System combines 1.d4 with an early Nc3 and Bf4, deviating from the classical London by developing the knight aggressively. White targets the c6 and e5 squares, often following with e3 or launching early pawn breaks, creating concrete and sometimes aggressive middlegame positions.
