  1. Whose here because of Biswa ?

  2. my ears are going to be ringing for hours after watching this

  3. What if the go e5? Seems you'd be screwed then

  4. This was a hard video to watch. I recommend you practice what you are going to talk about a few times

  7. This is nice explaination, Thanks

  8. You're the only person that has explained this clearly for a beginner like me so far. Most over-complicate it and show too many variations. Thanks!

  9. So basically am watching this 10 years later , and let's play it 😀

  10. If they play bd6 is it wise to trade bishops ?

  11. 9:00 what should I do if black plays pawn to C4?

  12. Hello everyone out there am happy to say this online because I have come to meet a lot of people here online that is looking for someone money to take, but still I don't not give one on till I meet this man name Mr James WilliHusna Jumaams he help me out in joining the Illuminati Brotherhood if you are interested to join the Illuminati Brotherhood you can contact him on illuminatifameworld7@gmail.com or whatsapp him +2347081469717

  13. paul is so fucking stupid XDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD

  14. POV: You are here from the Hikaru teaching Fuslie vid and want to learn further

  15. Seeing this ten years later but, I'd attack the light squared bishop.
    System is flawed.

  16. I'm relatively new to the game but would it be better at 9:36 instead of moving the Bishop to move the Queen to h5 so you can take the Pawn on h7 and you have checkmate?

  17. 7:03 good video but in here i dont think that white's bishop to d3 was a smart move because then black can move his pawn to c4 and gain a lot of material.

  18. I m on my way to be a GM I just want to figure out how the horsey moves😀

  19. Please checkout my channel

  20. I wouldn’t resign as black in that game.

  21. Crazy to think that a video released 10 years ago just helped me run through my dad can't thank you enough. Might binge your openings playlist tonight

  22. Noob question but, what if black attacks my dark square bishop moving his night to somewhere like h5? do i just let the trade happen or what am i supposed to do

  23. I’m a beginner great help thanks 😷

  24. 7:30 what do I have to do if he does pawn c4. please someone tell me

  25. I'm really new to tactics and stuff basically all I use to do is protect the king and that’s it 😂.but at almost minute 10 when you moved the Bishop, why didn't you move the queen to h5 then to h7 without even moving the Bishop if this some how works that’s mate I guess idk. If anyone knows

  26. this guy actually reacts to comments on a video 10 years old

  27. Can't do it if I don't see how he got mated. 🙁

  28. Hmm At 3:14, the reason for the black bishop to b7 was to mainly allow extra defence for the other bishop by opening the rook and not “to get involved in the game”

  29. i am a classic E4 player but this sounds very funny. But you can only play the London as far as you have your queen on the board or not ? if u trade your queen you might loose the mid game/end game

  30. 339 people were under a lot of pressure

  31. Few players have played the London system against me, an opening I'm not familiar with and not to fall into traps I tend to play something out of the ordinary hoping to confuse my opponent. After d4 d5 Bf4, I play e5 to attack the center. Just found out, this is the Mason variation and only found one game where this was ever played. Falke, Johannes vs Limberg, Philipp

    Any advice on this defense?
