    But this london thing must be too good even though you tried to make it as lame as possible lol, I might give it a try and drop the hardcore openings I am playing. I mean I would take a win down a queen against 2400+ with such ease.

      In terms of accurate moves and theory I agree with you. But Andras perfectly embodied the mindset of the typical London player where “feeling” or guesswork, hope and passivity transcend any form of positional understanding and tactical calculation… he hit the nail on the head.

    Of course you played it very bad. I like London System, there is for sure e4, there is no a3-b4. And h3 is unnecessary in a lot of lines. I recomend to watch Andrés Guerrero channel to learn how to play London System in agressive mode.

    • @darnpeach151
      @darnpeach151 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Yh sure you can play e4, a3+b4, h3. You could even put all your pawns on dark squares for shits and giggles. But at the end of the day it doesn’t matter. Analysis beyond move 8 is mere speculation. As andras said at 5:50… you put your pieces on those optimal squares and the game will just take care of itself. That’s the beauty of the London.
