London System: One Opening against anything

[@kingspart9828]

I clicked on the video faster than i blunder my queen

[@pineapplejuice1156]

Before you get offended, please actually read the whole thing. The London is about “giving away your dominance” like where is the break through for the attack???? I will use an analogy, you could have a machine gun with lots of ammo, but if the gun is blocked, and the bullets won’t come out. Then no matter how strong it is, it’s USELESS Okay okay, I get that you do have some sort of dominance in the london “because later, you can make an attack” or “later when your opponent gets aggressive you can use his momentum against him” but there is an issue, why attack later?? There is no advantage to it, why save your restaurant meal if you have get the meal everyday? It will just get cold later. JUST LIKE HOW IF YOU DOTN TAKE ADVANTAGE EARLY, YOUR CHANCES DROP UNLESS YOUR OPPONENT IS DUMB. If you use the London system except the pawn is not on c3 but c4, WHERE IT ACTUALLY ATTACKS SOMETHING, your position is still ROCK SOLID, your pieces are still ACTIVELY PLACED annnnd you have a machine gun that actually WORKS UNLIKE THE LONDON, WHICH IS A BLOCKED GUN. The London is solid and active but it makes no sense to hand over the “action” to the opponent. If you can’t deal with it fine, learn. It’s not hard and it’s the point of chess. Giving away your own opportunity just gives your opponent chances, and why leave things up to them when you can take charge? Why let the weather decide if you can go out today or not, YOU HAVE TO TAKE CHARGE IN LIFE AND CHESS, JUST BECAUSE ITS RAINING DOESNT MEAN YOU CANT GO OUT TO GET ICE CREAM, GO GRAB AN UMBRELLA, WHY LET EXTERNAL SOURCES DETERMINE YOU WHEN YOU CAN DETERMINE IT YOURSELF? FINE, YOU MAY NOT BE ABLE TO DO IT BEST, SO LEARN AT LEAST. THERE IS NO ADVANATAGE TO NOT ADDING ONE EXTRA IDEA TO THE LONDON. C4, INSTEAD OF C3, TAKE HOLD OF YOUR LONDON, DONT MAKE YOUR MACHINE GUN OBSOLTE. OPEN THE GUN SO THAT YOU CAN ACTUALLY FIRE

[@jessielee8511]

Thank you. Very concise, methodical without the extra verbiage. Also enjoyed the graphics. Well done. Not overdone. I'm a subscriber.

[@ITSRONNIE1121]

Thanks a lot bro in starting of the game I used London system I was thinking that I’m losing but then my opponent blunder a lot ❤

[@Eric19401]

I just happened upon this video in my feed. Thanks for making chess seem fun. I've watched a number of KZbin chess videos that while useful, made chess seem more like a labor than fun. Perhaps I'll view them differently when I become better at the game.

[@25ilya25]

It also would be nice to see London system with O-O-O from black

[@maybeqbe]

You know you have a perfect food’n’video moment when Chesspage1 posts

[@canaldocapivara]

The music makes the video more emotional! 🔥

[@sumisai_]

Thank you so much for this video. I watched some tutorials before, but I didn’t quite understand the reasons of those moves. But you explain that so clearly and in a beginner-friendly pace. After watching your video once, I remember the London system set up, and learnt a lot. Thank you so much!

First chess channel sub. Thanks for the lesson!

[@PatrickPlaysChess]

Stumbled upon this video. I always stumbled facing London, I'm going to give it a go and see what happens. Loved it! Love the narration, simplicity, comedy, and educational value that sticks. A+ subscribed.

[@professional.commentator]

Your videos are legendary man! Thank you for all your hard work! Best chess channel on KZbin!

[@barczi8]

The little dialog boxes help understand how each piece feels on their missions, or if I somehow decide to unalive them for some unknown reason.

[@sweginator1084]

was wondering if this videi was gonna be a thing, feels like a natural complement to the queen's gambit

[@alvingustafsson1574]

Great video, ive tried to get into chess a lot of times but it never went great, but with the help from this short educational and funny video i have started to learn some of the base chess and i learned more from this then watching a 30-40 min video about openings i wont even remember, sorry about my grammar but huge thanks man!

[@johnleekin3233]

Please keep those videos coming. They’re really good and I can’t stop laughing as well. I’m teaching my son chess with your videos and we can’t stop laughing with the sarcastic cynicism. My son has learned a lot from your videos. Keep em’ coming!

[@IndoTitus_Pullo]

Man, I lost 10 games in a row. Watched London system for 1 week, a heck lot of it and in kast two days I won 8 games straight in a row. ❤

[@Joshmo1234]

Your breakdowns of openings are probably some of the best I've seen. Subbed.

[@Smokecall]

@2:08 I'm not even 1000 rated and this move made my face do a full Hikaru face controt over how bad that white queen blunder was.

[@noalphabetgangimmorality7727]

What would be better?

[@Smokecall]

​@noalphabetgangimmorality7727 the queen being undefend attack and easily pushed back by the pawns or knight makes that move lost tempo. Better to push queen's side pawns

[@b0xfps]

this absolute phenom of a chess page taught me the kings indian, which has helped me climb 200 elo 🙏🙏🙏

[@jesuslovesyoujohn314-21]

Amazing guide, just started relearning chess recently.

[@ShelbySolomons]

awesome...this it's the first video about opening that is so well explained

[@whoiamagain]

Not one video we want an entire playlist Give this maximum likes so he make one playlist for middle game

[@imri1273]

It's simple, i see a chesspage1 vid, i click it

[@soham.ambore]

Bro you're getting better and better... You clearly deserve more❤

[@Neko-san]

Now that I think about it, announcing your next video before it's done is a good strategy to gain more subscribers

[@francoperez03]

The best explanation that I’ve never seen . Thanks a lot!

[@FightCommentary]

The London is such a great opening!

[@SJ3845]

This is the best london system guide on the internet thank you

[@NeelsArmstrong]

Before you get offended, please actually read the whole thing. The London is about “giving away your dominance” like where is the break through for the attack???? I will use an analogy, you could have a machine gun with lots of ammo, but if the gun is blocked, and the bullets won’t come out. Then no matter how strong it is, it’s USELESS Okay okay, I get that you do have some sort of dominance in the london “because later, you can make an attack” or “later when your opponent gets aggressive you can use his momentum against him” but there is an issue, why attack later?? There is no advantage to it, why save your restaurant meal if you have get the meal everyday? It will just get cold later. JUST LIKE HOW IF YOU DOTN TAKE ADVANTAGE EARLY, YOUR CHANCES DROP UNLESS YOUR OPPONENT IS DUMB. If you use the London system except the pawn is not on c3 but c4, WHERE IT ACTUALLY ATTACKS SOMETHING, your position is still ROCK SOLID, your pieces are still ACTIVELY PLACED annnnd you have a machine gun that actually WORKS UNLIKE THE LONDON, WHICH IS A BLOCKED GUN. The London is solid and active but it makes no sense to hand over the “action” to the opponent. If you can’t deal with it fine, learn. It’s not hard and it’s the point of chess. Giving away your own opportunity just gives your opponent chances, and why leave things up to them when you can take charge? Why let the weather decide if you can go out today or not, YOU HAVE TO TAKE CHARGE IN LIFE AND CHESS, JUST BECAUSE ITS RAINING DOESNT MEAN YOU CANT GO OUT TO GET ICE CREAM, GO GRAB AN UMBRELLA, WHY LET EXTERNAL SOURCES DETERMINE YOU WHEN YOU CAN DETERMINE IT YOURSELF? FINE, YOU MAY NOT BE ABLE TO DO IT BEST, SO LEARN AT LEAST. THERE IS NO ADVANATAGE TO NOT ADDING ONE EXTRA IDEA TO THE LONDON. C4, INSTEAD OF C3, TAKE HOLD OF YOUR LONDON, DONT MAKE YOUR MACHINE GUN OBSOLTE. OPEN THE GUN SO THAT YOU CAN ACTUALLY FIRE

[@SJ3845]

@@NeelsArmstrong thank you for your advice but I like to learn all the openings I know it has some disadvantages and it is not going to work for more than like 1600 elo my fav opening is currently ponziani as white and caro kann as black and I'm 530 blitz I have a long way to grind so I can sometimes use london I guess even though d4 openings look wierd.

[@SinKieran]

Might not be the highest rated player to watch. But I learn way more from a single video of this than a day of binging Magnus or Hikaru since the videos are entertaining and engaging so I don't zone the fuck out and can't comprehend anything.

[@darrellm.5935]

Man, I love your videos! Good techniques: the sarcastic cynicism is so funny. Keep them videos coming, great stuff! 👍

[@giuseppecavalcanti1536]

This video was much needed as, even if learning opening theory is very important for a beginner and playing a system can incentive lazyness or if this opening isn't what you usually play, we have to take in consideration that not everybody has time to spend on learning every possible variation of his repertoire, and as you said the problem for beginners is the middlegame. Plus knowing the plan of a london system player will surely help against it. The only thing I would criticize on is the fact that the video lack direct suggestions for black players. It would have been interesting to see some counterattack ideas for a KID player (following the past video on beginners repertoire), but the london system is know to be very solid so maybe everything is up to circumstances and this video can't predict it all

[@dman6261]

Don't even play chess right now, but this videos are great tbh!

[@jurisligeris9989]

Cheers man, you get basic ideas to noobs like me extremely good and in really fun way. Have tried different videos, but at least for London, this is by far the best - no irrelevant info (should be impossible for funny video) and easily understandable. Listened for explanations from master level guys, wasn't sure those were even about chess.

[@x7N1NJ47x]

Thanks to your video I was able to win my *second* game I ever played with the London system! (I blundered mate in 1 on the first game)
