There's 2 chapters about this line. He gives both 5. g4!? and 5. Bd3.

Kaufman and Sielecki are really enthusiastic about the following line for Black against the Jobava: 1.d4 d5 2.Nc3 Nf6 3.Bf4 a6!?

Kaufman cites the following game with analysis:

What says Simon Williams about this line?

I dont know if he says anything in the London DVD. I wouldnt have thought so.

He does briefly mention in his Jobava London DvD and Chessable products how they differ (particularly in the latter) - probably because he expects a crossover audience (and because he calls it Jobava London , not Jobava Prie).

Here his main points are i think the weakness of b2 if playing 2.Bf4 (and the threat of an early Qb6), and the relative simplicity of 2.Nc3 (it leads to a smaller number of set ups black will play against you so requires you to know less in turn).

I cant remember the specific lines he covers though in these explanations.

I think Chessable is popular amongst content creators because their royalties are something like 60%

The Jobava stuff is on his own Ginger GM dvd, from earlier in the year, and now the new video/chessable 'book' that came out a week or so ago.

I think the Chessbase videos cover the more common (Neo?) London stuff.

It's not that surprising it has come out on chessable now - he recently had his Killer Dutch material updated on put on there and is probably striking while the iron is hot.... there isnt much material out there on the Jobava system (I can only think of the London book by Romero has a chapter, as does the Move by Move Veresov book, and Jobava had an article in a chess yearbook a while back). It was only recently listed on their list of titles confirmed for publishing this year.

I think the royalties are much higher for Chessable than traditional chess publishers pay and he is a popular author/presenter .

I think he said somewhere,, maybe the last DVD on the london that he did not like playing d5 and black does not play the vangardian. I heard that on chess.com there was a trump video and the author of it said the same. I could be wrong.

Does he give any jobrava stuff in chess base or is it pretty much the london? Just asking cause his last DVD had a chapter on it. Oh I was really surprised to see this dvd with the chessable course just out too.

Simon has posted a "trailer" for his new work on the Jobava London system, as he calls it:

And two videos where he plays the opening:
