Longer Chess Games #62 Dutch vs London System

In this video, I stream a long play game where I use the Dutch Defence against the Jobava London System.
Hopefully, you will gain some useful tips. The time limit is 15+10, my aim is to really explain the thought processes behind the moves that I am playing.
My opponent (Bjorn) is rated around 1700-1800.

I think you’re a natural teacher GM Williams. Interesting and insightful to watch and learn from these longer games win or lose!

[@LoneWolf_2308]

The mighty Ginger GM is back! 😉

[@deccyboi4218]

Love to see this I always struggle against the london with the dutch!

[@PIANOPHUNGUY]

Do you play e6 first to avoid the Staunton Gambit?

[@deccyboi4218]

@@PIANOPHUNGUY no because i have very rarely played against the staunton

[@PIANOPHUNGUY]

@@deccyboi4218 A very famous Staunton Gambit was played between Edward Lasker and Sir GeorgeThomas. Sir Thomas was also a badminton fan. His name is on the cup. Thomas Cup. That game can be found on youtube for sure.

[@arcticraven2462]

Perfect. Been wondering how this would work.

[@jamesreed4483]

Great advise on making an opening choice e.g. for a while I was playing the Grunfeld and getting good results but I hated the nerve racking middle games. Changing to the Nimzo Indian all is now well.

[@darnk9785]

Congrats Simon!

"Si vis pacem para bellum" Attacking is the best defense, slightly older than Bruce Lee, some Roman politicians said this 2000 years ago.

[@robertprince3197]

GM Ginger; I have been observing your games since 2012. Relating to this video, I used to think 4 moves ahead for Blitz Games, but five is impressive; unless thinking more in advance for other games. I am interested in the new website!

[@TrongNguyen-qf5ui]

Hey Ginger, where are you? Pls continue this great series :):) thanks.

[@platonfoucault1087]

As a 1650±, hearing people below GM's talking about the evaluation and so on always makes me laugh. How many super GM's lost games where the evaluation was giving a sure win. Countless....

[@clappersox]

Love the Dutch!

[@rjjhh443]

Whats ur rating? 😃would you like to have a match? I have a book on the dutch👌🏼

[@cyteo2305]

If your opponent opens with e4, can you still play the dutch defence? If you can't play dutch in this case, which defense for e4 will you choose to get to your favorite middle game?

[@valevenga797]

thanks simon, i appreciate the tips. too bad there was no ducks ;(

[@andrewpringle3915]

Pls do a Grand Prix video, love your vids

[@riosianturi224]

Premature attackulation is a very legit thing

[@Socrates...]

I am glad for you to be bought by Play Magnus for your own sake. I wonder about the autonomy of all all the companies that have suddenly been bought by them recently.

[@egregiousarts6088]

Hey, Ginger GM!

[@iconicon5642]

Congrats on the business developments and give up the ciggies (again)

[@tommonk7651]

Simon, one of your fellow Chessable authors absolutely craps on the London on his channel. You have done several courses on the London. Do you think it’s a trash opening? He says you can’t learn anything from playing it.

[@daneQuixote]

Andras?

[@tommonk7651]

@@daneQuixote Yes, I was sure people would know who I was referencing. LOL

[@mikoajozarowski5028]

London certainly isn't a trash opening and Andras never said that, he argues it's not optimal for improving players who should expose themselves to a broad spectrum of possible pawn structures rather than play the same type of position over and over.

[@daneQuixote]

@@mikoajozarowski5028 I've watched a ton of different chess mentors on KZbin. Pretty much been through them all. I like Andras. That being said, I play London as white and Najdorf or King's Indian as black. I get a bunch of pawn structures and I feel I made a decent amount of progress getting to 2200 blitz and bullet. Worth noting I'm an adult learner who didn't play chess as a kid.

[@mikoajozarowski5028]

@@daneQuixote that's seriously impressive, kudos to you. Well that's Andras' opinion. I think he's right in the sense that you would play more different positions if you chose main line openings instead of London, but on the other hand it can be too challenging especially when your study time is limited.

[@creamrising]

Premature attackulation ha ha ha ha.

[@robertuzumaki5974]

Wtf happened there in the End😲

[@xdclanagario1753]

As a avid French defense and Nimzo Indian player, I think after 1.D4 1.e6 2. Bf4 , instead of my usual 2.Nf6, I will now start playing 2. F5 against the London :D

[@usangovos]

hey

[@seanyhawx]

I think your rating will go over 2700 In 6 months if you play more gambits

[@BeKindandCalm]

Hi Simon

[@jasperhalsey8574]

7:51 What a racist

[@seanm3189]

I love simons videos, my username is gingergmismyhero after all, but I find I would watch so many more videos if his theme music wasn't so loud. Any time I fall asleep watching one of his videos the next theme song never fails to wake me up so I find I have to watch other chess KZbinrs videos around bed time :(
