Which one? Magnus Carlsen, the highest rated classical player and known to many as the best chess player in the world? Yeah, sure he knows nothing. /sarcasm
I don't think Howell hates the London System. Most Top players know the London is quite rich. It's mostly amateurs who hate the opening because they don't know how to get a game out of it.
The London doesn’t deserve its reputation as boring. It can lead to great kingside attacks. It’s up to the players. I started playing it in 1994 when I first faced it in a club game. I stopped playing it a few years ago because it is so ridiculously over-played I was embarrassed to play it
@@LqwAbidingCitizen They can be, but you have all sorts of choices. Play on the queenside, or play as in a reversed semi-slav, or my fav, play for a huge kingside attack, sort of a stonewall attack with the dark-squared bishop outside the pawn chain. if you want, castle on either side, and rip apart the black kingside. With so many options, it doesn't get boring for me.
Interviewer is David Howell and probably knows that Magnus doesn't dislike the London and probably doesn't dislike the London himself either since he is a Top player as well. This Question was likely directed at the London haters plaguing them to ask it.
Pretty sure Howell doesn't dislike the London system and as he is a close friend to Magnus who has worked with him on several projects I am also quite confident that he knows that Magnus doesn't dislike the London. This was probably the intention of the Question.
I love playing the london, I love playing against the london. No idea why people hate it that much to call Magnus as someone who "doesn't know anything about chess". The London is definitely a real opening, it was used by Ding to defeat Nepo in the highest stakes tournament in chess, and was played numerous times in this year alone in super GM chess. And no we don't play the same moves every game, how my opponents setup and their move order matters a lot and affects what I play in response. The london can be dynamic and also positional, and it depends on how black setups against me, for example in Be7 lines I usually go for the attack very early, but in Bd6 lines I play more positionally.
If i had to choose something to play as White,other than 1.e4 or d4,that would be the English opening! London is a solid opening for sure,but its actually the same set up every time. A complete chess player needs to know how to play various chess structures!
Magnus can play f3 and get a good game. The London isn't bad, the one issue I see is that people who play it, once they have made all of their preparatory moves, usually have no idea what to do beyond that. I have seen countless people lose games because they have zero knowledge of pawn structure or have no idea how to play in the center after their preparatory moves. For a GM like Magnus that isn't an issue. It doesn't give you an advantage, just a playable game. And really that's all Magnus plays for. He always believes that he can probably outthink you in any position. 95% of the time, he's right. What's telling though is the sheer number of Chessable courses on the London system, and the large plethora of online players who use it, and barely ever get beyond 1600 with it.
I played the London as white and the dragon as black. If I didn’t get white, I didn’t enjoy the game at all and I lost more as black as well. Good thing I quit that game
@@KaninTuzi London for white, any e4 opening for black, any d4 opening for black 👍🏻 Don’t class the Englund Gambit as an opening because it’s just ignoring black’s dumb moves, is known to be terrible and is just someone bad trying to troll 👍🏻 basically when you play d4 as white, it almost forces a move other than e4 which keeps you in the London
@@FoolStomper I had 80% winrate with Englund, but I played it my own way, deviating on the second move. It wasn't trolling, but it was white painfully dying on something like move 20
You can go far playing the London System. I get why it's not played that much at the highest levels, but Ding played it in Game 6 of the 2023 WCC and won.
You won't look like Magnus just by wearing the identical brands of clothing he wears. So basically any crewneck sweater and button-down dress shirt should be fine.
I play the london. I suck, but it means I can get through the opening without ending up in a losing position, well, most of the time. It also means I dont have to spend hours learning and memorising lines.
I hate the London. But love to crush the players that play it, because it's quite easy to know their style/mood from their opening, so I get ready to what they are expecting and catch them on the hop. I adapt my game to every situation. I'm 2200 on Lichess.
Who asks someone to use a scale of 1 to 1000 ever?
Chess players 😂
You need a bigger scale for a more delicate comparison
Ai
it's because they fully expected him to dunk on it since alot of people can't stand the London 😂
Quite a good scale actually. A 2 on 1-1000 would be a 0 on a 1-10 or 1-100 when rounded to a whole number.

@@eliasvonbrille london is not that popular in top level coz its solved and repetative

it's incredibly boring to play as white. the games are extremely repetitive

Hr sounds like ai in this clip 😅
Kramnik ahead of his time. Playing the London before Magnus made it a thing😂
Magnus just loves giving a counterintuitive answer! Basically the opposite of what the interviewer wants
Or the interviewer just want to nod magnus to explain his love for london system.

Is this ai generated or just made to look ai generated?
i was thinking the same thing, i feel so mindfucked
Some players on lichess resign when they see I play the london system opening lol imagine the level of disgust

what's wrong with his voice?
I wanna know why he gave it a 2 instead of 1 :D
I'm 800 rated and I totally agree with him
I'm 1850 a mediocre player and I play the London regularly
"learned" for magnus is preparing lines knowing theory knowing 15+ moves traps ofc he knew how to play it since 2002
Share some good tutorial
I’d be happy to teach you some proper openings and give you a few tips if you want to improve as both a player and person.
@@Bixee123how is learning new openings going to improve him as a person 😂

A London system player only needs 3 openings to play chess consistently, that’s its big benefit
Which three openings?
