0:25 how do you plan to develop the light square bishop to d3 if black pushes his pawn to c4?
At 10:27, after pushing the pawn h4, won't black simply capture it? There's a bishop + queen aiming at it.
I love how he says ‘now you’re a piece up and you win the game’. You haven’t seen me play yet😂
London System is what Southpaw does in Boxing. Jab, jab, jab, feint, bing, bang, badaboom!
I hate the London system. Doesn't matter how many of these I watch, every opponent I play still destroys it and somehow knows how to defend every single move I make from it.
I’ve recently come across an opponent who played 2. f6 which totally threw me. What’s the best response when trying to play the London system?
I finally beat my dad using the London THANK YOU MAN!
Atmy level, they almost always do a bunch h of early sacrificing and then none of this advanced stuff is possible. Juat sayin…..trying to get to 600
13:52, what if they go NA7?
Thank you sir Ji
At about 6:00, we're talking about pushing e3 before the knight to f3, but I don't understand what we're supposed to do If black plays bishop to g4 anyway, threatening the queen. Do we block it with the bishop? And then what if black trades light squared bishops? Doesn't that mess us up too?
Hello sir, I was watching this video and I noticed that here 10:07 the pawn is hanging if you don't mind can you explain please Thank you…
10:40 wouldnt white playing H4 be a bad move because of the bishop and the queen for black
Good lesson! And what about B:h4 on 10:11?
One of the best Londonist videos I’ve ever seen
Thank you for the video!! Really helpful
