love the inclusion of the part of the board we're supposed to focus on and absolutely love the summary at the end, thank you boss
-
I don't study theory but this is essentially how I like to play against the London, though typically I like to keep the tension in the center and expand on the Queenside.
-
this is actually my main move against the london because in the london white usually has a very safe advantage (if black plays to win material he gets mated) and in this variation neither player's advantages are safe

Need more of this!

i liked the part where he said "its chessing time" and chessed all over his opponant
-
I enjoy playing the Reti opening with c4 in response to d5. So, this plays a bit similar to that which is pretty cool
-
Player who at first seems to know what they are doing but soon shows their tactical skill is below 1200. When an ordinary club player plays the London just sit back, relax and wait for them to blunder.
-
As a London player, this is one of my fav lines to see on the board.
-
So as a London player I just need to remember to play d5 and learn to play the benoni as white.

Very helpful
-
If you're more of a 1... d5 player, the steinitz gambit (2... c5) shares many similar principles, minus unfortunately the tactics on a5

"What's up boys... " ? I'm 62.
-
But London players don’t have to take dxc5
-
Bring the horse out second move as london player 😊
