A great counter to the london I've found is nc6 f6 going for e5(remember, if they let you play e5, always play Bf5 first to avoid making weaknesses) and if they don't let you play e5 in most cases you can actually go g5 h5 h4 and chase the bishop to the corner, after which it barely has a role and this leads to a confusing position for london players to navigate. A slightly dubious opening, but not losing, and I have a great winrate with it, since people overestimate the amount of weaknesses that are created.
Well as a london player i knew this so when this move order comes i use to play the colle system ( its like london but the dark square bishop instead of bf4 is now on g2) it is a bit hard to understand to how to attack but once you get a hold of it its a great opening
so your plan is to target the d5 pawn so that they lose it if e5 and take? Also, where do you put your f1 bishop? By the way, I think I failed to mention this but this is played after d4 d5 is on the board.
@@True_path2007Black just played h3 so it is white to move but even then I wouldn’t hurry in giving the check. But here there are multiple ways to win, going after the f5 pawn seems like the cleanest way which restricts counterplay so my preference would be Rd3+ then Rf3
@@faznaz7455yeah this was my idea too, engine gives rook f2 and if the king goes to the back rank you just push the h pawn and you’ll give a check and promote next move and if he goes forward you just go rook c2 and he can’t even take the h2 pawn cus you’ll skewer his rook and now you have two passed pawns only a couple of squares away from promotion
Morocco 🇲🇦 I predicted Morocco to the finals in my 2022 bracket (no lie!). I visited in 2015 and loved it. Shoutout Fes, one of the most impressive cities I have been too.
I personally don’t think 1800 is that high of a level. I’m just fcking around,do not read theory at all and am 1300 elo. 1800 is something like chess club good
Very impressive and nice game Zach,i like your solid play and agressive play in this chess game, right now!I see a very great progress in your games.Congratulation!🎉

I play this online but otb I play the reverse London and play for the middlegame
@@tugs8689 is that because of the time control disparity?
Non Playable Character = NPC, you're welcome Zach
W comment. Thank you. Obvious that I am no gamer haha.
I have never been this stressed in my whole life
17:25 cant you check the white king gaining a square to defend your pawn?
he would be forced to come back to defend the pawn after check because the rook is attacking it😊
@@adarshlignite9254but just push the pawn, wouldnt this work?
