    This is an amazing lesson with a very cool format, where Andrea can make regular questions that we the audience would normally make, and to the people complaining about her voice, go outside, meet some people, you'll realize that some people have different, maybe louder tones to their voice and different ways to express themselves... And still are cool people... So stop complaining so much, loved this collab, keep it up Eric and Andrea!

I guess i hate facing the London because of its bland and simplistic style because I don’t find the London as an opening that plays for an advantage for sure. I follow Sam Shankland’s repertoire with the black pieces when dealing with the London coincidentally because at the very least black is equal and they have easier play.

    At 2:45 Nd2 is what i play, and also Carslen's preferred line. I play Nf3 on the 1st or 2nd move if i play the London, because i don't want to enter an exchange Caro-Kann with 2. Bf4 2. c5 3. e3 3. cxd4. I also like to keep more options open, and 2. Nf3 is more versatile. In the position in the video, if Qb6 you just take on c5, and it's not really a typical London, but it's more pleasant for white. That's just what i play, but i just thought i would share it
    Edit: I wrote this comment before i watched the rest of the video, because i know Eric usually plays 2. Bf4, but he covers it in the video

  • @freetheorcas8509
    @freetheorcas8509 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Cool to see Eric teach a variety of ways of playing the opening rather than just to play the same system over and over.
    It shows how some lines of the london can be pretty sharp and it also has a lot of flexibility. The setup against the kings indian formation is sort of transposing into the 150 attack pirc, a great setup against fianchetto structures.
    I've always really liked the Samisch kings indian though. It has this plan of Qd2-Bh6, queenside castling or even keeping the king in the centre.
    I think having the pawn on c4 is pretty strong since it supports a d4-d5 push - forming a strong pawn chain and winning connect 4. Also c4-c5 in some positions, putting pressure on d6, even as a pawn sacrifice to open the c-file and weaken e5. f3 supports e4 and the g4, h4-h5 pawn push and allows the bishop to sit comfortably on e3 where it can't be harassed.
    After 1 d4 Nf6 2 Bf4 g6 3 Nc3
    3 ...d5 is a strong response, going for a grunfeld setup. It prevents e4 and is stronger when there is no pawn on c4 to contest it
    After 1 d4 Nf6 2 Bf4 g6 3 Nc3 Bg7 4 e4
    4 ...c5 is also pretty good, and interrupts the Qd2-Bh6 idea.
    I think having pawns on c4 and d4 is just very strong in pretty much any queen's pawn opening and gives you more options in the long run.
    I am just a beginner but that's my impression haha

    @ 10:08 if they castle you don't want to leave the fork because after Nxd4, White is still better obviously, but White ends up with tripled pawns and an awkward Bishop and Knight. Bxc6/Bxa8 is much cleaner. (Even Qxc6 is cleaner.)

  • @Tsundemo
    @Tsundemo 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    at 11:18 I think best move here is Qa5 threatening to take whites queen if they take the pawn while also threatening to take the bishop if they move their queen. If QxQa5 Nxa5 defending b7 continuing the attack on the bishop. It looks like it leads to a rough time for white too as it allows BxBf4 while creating a center semi open file further allowing an improved position for black with castles and rooks on center files and black gets to open the center kinda whenever after that.

    • @raghavgupta9902
      @raghavgupta9902 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      after Nxa5 Bb5+ and after the dark-squared bishop trade, white has a really nice and quick attack with Ne5. Also, Nxb2 is not a problem as it simply opens another file for the rook to join in the attack.

But if e4 was coming, why not just take the pawn back anyway? I have a feeling its more to do with my first suggestion, but I could be overlooking something as I’m not that strong of a player hahah

    @10:08: Can someone explain why after they castle, we're taking the bishop on f4 first instead of the knight on c6? If we take the knight on c6, we're still going to win the f4 bishop after black plays Rb8, so why do we need to take the bishop first?

      You're right BxN is the first key move. I think they didn't look at it deep enough. if BxB the engine says NxP(d), and there is a series of moves but White is still clearly winning.

    38:05 What do you do if cxd4? After exd4, black plays Nd5 and the engine shows the best move is Bc1. Seems like black is better here

    At 38:00 you should play kc3 so you can play a3 to trap the queen effectively

    At around 3:00, that line where black plays Qb6, is the ideal line for black, and best scenario for white black gets at least equality, worst scenario, which happens a lot, is black gets either a clear advantage or a winning advantage.
