I really like the way you walk us through your thought process. It's a simple, straightforward way to explain it all. Btw I was pretty surprised by how he/she trapped your queen - they also found it surprisingly fast, but you did great making a comeback anyway. 😃
26:49 you had Ke4, forking the Queen and the Rook. Your opponent would have been left only with a Queen against 2 Rooks and a bishop. But you were looking at the camera and just played Re3.
8:38 when she says Na3 is the only way to defend against the fork, as a former London enjoyer I’ve learned that a much better way to parry these types of forks is with the move Bb5+ and Ba4 This is important to know because you could have already developed your knight, like with Nbd2, meaning Na3 is no longer possible
I have such a hard time making the London system work for some reason. When I watch other people play it, it always looks super clean and smooth, but I always seem to get people who disrupt it with a lot of wacky shit 😅 I actually switched to the Italian because I was just getting better games with it.
Ahahah Alessia playing the London 😂 Actually I've never played it but I never hated it either. I could see myself playing it in the future maybe ! Very nice video as always ! Keep it up !!
Im a complete beginner. I've been learning a lot by playing only advanced games. Of course im losing 99% of my games but im learning how my enemy is veating me and wi5h tgesw videos im starting to get the grasp. Im not a fan of memorizing lines or systems, i love playing natural but i get some concepts... still got a lot to improve
H3 loses a tempo BUT it keeps the bishop alive on that diagonal. London can also be played very successfully as Black. Black can also play a kind of Italian London after e4. As a low rated player I like London because it gets all the pieces out quickly.
I randomly saw your comment after scrolling down, and it's the only one I've read... and it made me realize that the criticisms that I was about to post are too harsh... if this channel is meant to be a fun, mildly-instructional place for beginners. I was fully prepared to blast the lady playing the games... but then you made me rethink doing it, because the implication I get from you is that she isn't trying to be as "authoritative" in general as I assumed from just this one video.
Hi Alessia, grazie dei video, sono super-istruttivi, però questi "opponents" teoricamente sopra 1000 giocano da molto meno ... lasciano sviluppare lo schema London senza quasi interferire. Di solito si ha subito controgioco tipo Nh5 e mosse aggressive, l'Alfiere campo scuro viene messo sotto attacco. Il London può portare a posizioni molto chiuse e complicate per un principiante, meglio la Scotch o la Ruy Lopez.
For so weak oponents which give you knight or rook for free every opening give you a victory :-) 27:30 Nd7 and discovered check is not dangerous because white takes queen. In last game (37:17) black could play stronger after B:h7+ and go with King to g6: Ng5+ Kg6; Qg4 f5; Qg3 (Qh4 Rh8 or ef6 N:f6 and after Qg3 Nh5) Qc8/b8 and as I think white have nothing better than N:e6+ Kf7; N:f8 N:f8 or K:f8 (Q:f8?? white will play e6+ and ed7) and black are still fighting (knight and a horse for rook and two pawns but a weak king position). In a game with classical tempo I think white should expect this variation. How to play London in something like this: 1. d4 Nf6 2.Bf4 c5 3. e3 Qb6 or in other similar position when black play c7-c5 and Qd8-b6 (+ optionaly also Nc6). I have problem with this and I stopped playing London. It would be great if you can prepare a lesson in this topic.
I’m only a 530 elo Played the London successfully a few times but likewise i seem to get smoked by 460’s playing as if they are 1200! how come all the chess streamers seem to get the idiot 1500’s that even i think i could beat! Lol
Wow. Against a 900. I always find it funny these players trying to demonstrate how effect these openings are against players who know nothing about chess. Then they act like they’re so good.
I generally enjoy your videos, but I don't see playing a series of games against opponents rated around 1000-1200 does to demonstrate any benefits of the London, or any other, opening?!.... Their moves are just too random and blunder filled so don't give any idea of what could be faced with good play.
Maybe you're 1500+ rated, but down here around 900-1000 I can assure you our moves are not random. We just miscalculate sometimes, but it's not that rare to have 80+% of good moves and a blunder.
The thing about the London is that it is a setup that can be played against virtually anything Black plays. As for other openings, it’s not like she always knows the best theoretical move against her opponents’ sometimes-questionable opening choices, but the opening principles she uses and the way she explains them are meant to be the key takeaways here, and can be applied in all different types of openings

We got Alessia played London before GTA 6
WTF the London 😂😂😂
22:15 is golden moment . just as you mentioned of being careful of not getting trapped and ....
the foreshadowing at 7:06…
We need more London videos please! Great channel you sre funny and interesting, good job ❤
Love the videos, can't get enough of them. Excellent teacher. She is a natural educator, period!
Your Chess videos are fun to watch, please keep up the great job!
Has the world gone mad? Alessia is playing the London?!
I'd like Her Pizza recipe(not a chess opening), because many celebs have one.
It's even more worse than that. She is the London...😅
@@djoekamazarov1191 Funny, I thought She was the Italian(he-he).
Only during daytime. At night she is The London KillerQueen...@@R.Akerman-oz1tf
Alessia i cant belive you Still say Here Here Here instead of g5 h6 do you know the squares 😂
this was beautiful to watch, learned a lot! thank you and GG
26:49 you had Ke4, forking the Queen and the Rook. Your opponent would have been left only with a Queen against 2 Rooks and a bishop. But you were looking at the camera and just played Re3.
Why everybody seems to play so bad in your videos but then i cant even reach 1000 elo? XDDDDD
Great video, I find that you do a good job teaching the ideas behind you moves making the video very instructive.
8:38 when she says Na3 is the only way to defend against the fork, as a former London enjoyer I’ve learned that a much better way to parry these types of forks is with the move Bb5+ and Ba4
This is important to know because you could have already developed your knight, like with Nbd2, meaning Na3 is no longer possible
Never thought I would see Alessia say good things about the london!
Another awesome video alessia!
I have such a hard time making the London system work for some reason. When I watch other people play it, it always looks super clean and smooth, but I always seem to get people who disrupt it with a lot of wacky shit 😅
I actually switched to the Italian because I was just getting better games with it.
The knight and the bishop combine together is like a unicorn opening in a way
There is no more wholesome and beautiful human being playing chess in the world than Alessia. What a treasure she is.
When you move a pawn in front of your king to give him an escape, is it better to free a space the opposing bishop cannot cover?
a born streamer, you are. Love the vids. I'll try the london, but i'll f up anyway! still very nice video. thanks!
Tq ....I will use all your plans when I play ....so far, I absorbed your Spanish game ....tq ❤
Thank you very much
Amazing job and you are lovely!!!!
Ahahah Alessia playing the London 😂 Actually I've never played it but I never hated it either. I could see myself playing it in the future maybe !
Very nice video as always ! Keep it up !!
Fun to watch❤😊

You are brilliant and funny.
if you like the london system you should check out the jobava course by Alex, i love the pawn storm idea after bf5, with f3 g4
Thank youu for showing😁
at @27:19 alessia missed knight d7?
I just saw that in the video and was like 😮. How tragic.
This was great - a lot of good ideas!
9:37 My face when I prepare for the London and my opponent plays 1... e5
H3 loses a tempo BUT it keeps the bishop alive on that diagonal. London can also be played very successfully as Black. Black can also play a kind of Italian London after e4. As a low rated player I like London because it gets all the pieces out quickly.

The london is the perfect opening. Its peak chess. (Its the most aesthetically pleasing opening and therefore strongest)
Mate in 2 at 34:24 with Qxd4?
Why this 1000 looks noob while my 800 plays like hacker 😢
London is reason why I won't go to heaven if I played!
Great video
Hello Alessia,i like you, my favorite is London system, thank you very much 👌👏👏❤️🌹🥰👸👩🎤
22:03 Alessia Blunderamo is back!

Alessia your smile is so beautiful of as your game, can watch it for hours
Hope the event has been better than the chessoboard at 2:38.
Very nice 👍
Lol sei passata al lato oscuro della forza!
È inevitable. È il mio destino.

lesson of course. I tried to correct but system reject it
At 05:17 you missed a half sentence: "and then we take the queen, game over."
27:15 just fork with knight d7
Nice video
Is like the knight evolved
Sei davvero brava mi piacciono i tuoi video.
In 27:18 night fork in d7
Came here to say the same
but after Qxb2 white’s rook is under attack and you don’t win the exchange.
I can't belive that ... Alessia! ... the London???
please make a video on dragon siccilian. please.
MCO
When gm title?
Ciao. Porta sul canale il gambetto italiano. È molto forte e sottovalutato.
10:17 U said it correctly "pawn ON D4". Sorry, no sorry.
MAMY INNE SZACHY!!!!!!!!!!!!DZIEKUJEMY!!!!!!!!!!!!MAREK.
22:24
Grazie maestra
You should play the London system against higher rated players to make it more challenging and exciting.
any opening is good when you play
it with opponents below 2000 😁
omg the world is ENDING 😳😳😱
g6 you are supposed to play Jobava...just saying
I will never not laugh at the evil joy you get out of smoking someone after a blunder...
The Jobava London>>>London System
How r 1000 elo blundering so simple moves?
Why don't they blunder when i play them😂
I'm 900.
I’m only a 530 elo Played the London successfully a few times but likewise i seem to get smoked by 460’s playing as if they are 1200! how come all the chess streamers seem to get the idiot 1500’s that even i think i could beat! Lol
What's the anti-london system for black?
KID
2:35 in alliance with AI what the fk
[Rejdy] :D Like your videos!
the quality is very weird
Miss Alessia looking scary like the hair never blackens her eyes but in this video they does. Something is off.
I think your English becomes significantly better when you play an onboard game😅
But you're my crush !
❤❤❤
Why are you wearing a doctor's white coat , holding a board and pen while teaching chess ♟️
🤔
Wow. Against a 900. I always find it funny these players trying to demonstrate how effect these openings are against players who know nothing about chess. Then they act like they’re so good.
She's rated 2000 bro
Is it legal to play with an other account with a much lower rating?
W
I like you 😂 but i dont like your london system😂❤
😍
you are lovely
You should play with higher rated opponent
for the first game u could ve taken the rook bishop protects check then queen f6 check bishop protects and then u take it more satisfying lmao
LMAO. You have to be trolling. You are way too tactical to enjoy London positions.
Why don't you ever play people around your own rating?
She does - in OTB tournaments.
Cuz ...she is teaching for lo rate players

hell I’m 530elo…..I’m not complaining

You are wrong mam
If
1) d4 exd4
2) Bxd4 gxf3
3) Bxc6 Kxc6
4) Qxd8
In around 5.20 mins of this video
why are you playing against 1000s
i went from 1500 to 1900 Just by London - That being said, its very hard to concentrate on the board when Alessia is teaching. She is just too cute.
again a over 2000Elo rated Player beat 1100Elo rookies!
very impressive.
31:31 was it really a sacrifice??😂😂🩵
❤❤
