@@pineapplejuice1156Before you get offended, please actually read the whole thing. 1. Your essay is too long and too many unnecessary analogies (especially the capitalized part). Just say you think the London is bad because it is defensive. 2. People can play any opening they find useful, you can't just tell them "defensive's bad, play aggressive" 3. I've seen you spamming this essay in many comments. Why are you so desperate to say the London is bad? Don't you have other things to do?
@@charlotte78369 I have already answered point one and two. SO OPEN YOU EYES AND READ THE COMMENTS BEFORE YOU BLANTANTLY INSULT SOMEONE WITH NO CARE. To answer point number 3, I wanted to share my opinion simply because it pains me to see people not playing the London my way annnnd because hopefully someone can tell me why I’m wrong and have a debate over it instead of INSULTING ME IN REPEAT. So hopefully that answers your question. And fuck off already, don’t waste my time unless you are ready to be respectful AND HAVE A PROPER DEBATE INSTEAD OF REPEATED INSULTS. Thank you for your time.
@@charlotte78369 another thing, I have said this so many times but of course you are like a little worm, weak, and option less. So your only way to attack me is to ASK THE SAME QUESTION. But fine I’ll answer you, your question was, “you don’t get to choose what a person plays”. It’s a good question and I agree, I know that people are free minds and they deserve to make lots of choices like this one. so to answer you. I NEVER SAID ANYONE HAD TO PLAY LIKE ME, I INSTEAD SAID THAT YOU CAN CHOOSE TO IF YOU BELIEVE IM RIGHT. SO FUCK OFF, AND DONT WASTE MY TIME, IF YOU DONT EVEN BOTHER TO READ BEFORE YOU INSULT.
Man, these are great videos. Easy to understand and commit to memory, funny enough to keep me entertained and engaged. You have a real knack for this, looking forward to the middle game episode.
With the half speed and a three times repitation I learned much about a solid opening. Thank you very much. I am a beginner but with this set up I winned a few games against friends which play much better than I play. Greetings from Vienna ! (Please, excuse my English)
You've actually given me encouragement to keep going....for months I've been trying to understand all the aspects of chess and I've been overwhelmed. I finally chose the London System as one I feel most comfortable with but couldn't figure what to do when my opponent does the unexpected. These illustrations are so helpful (and entertaining) and easy for me to grasp. Now I see why I move the pieces where they should go and what the point is. Once I have this video down I look forward to the middle game instructions. I look forward to seeing many more in these easy-to-understand style.
you have no idea how helpful this youtube channel is. i try to watch other bigger youtubers but i find their videos boring and too long. this seriously helped me. thank you.
I was hoping for this! What a great video...the were the others you made before this! Love how straight forward you are! And, I love the humor...never have I laughed this much during a chess tutorial video before!
Given how much my games have improved simply from learning the Indian defence from you, I’m excited to learn this! Dunno how or why but the way the techniques are explained in your vids make them so much easier to learn (and remember)
I really wanna thank you and your channel for making these videos. I gave up chess few months ago, mainly feeling myself an idiot and can’t see the “big pictures” always concerned on a few section and struggle to make any strategy. May I say your videos so easy to understand that ignite my flame 🔥 again. Thanx as keep it up!
@chesspage1, you do a great job. I thank you so much. I keep practicing every opening you explain (carro, Indian, queen gambit) and fruitfully develop my game. You are doing an important impact on people.
Can I just say I have watched 10+ guide videos but yours was so good at explaining at what Im actually trying too achieve playing the london that I went 9(wins)-1(lose) after watching this! You are the man!
At 2:50 when the black bishop moves to f5, you have the option to push c4 and turn it into a queens gambit. I’ve had several games where you follow up with Qb4 and black hangs the entire queen side. Have fun 👹

too me it’s too simple, but it has lack of flaws, but at higher levels u need more complex openings, mostly because u want to overpower ur opponent in the middle game, since it’s easier to combat than an opening such as the catalan. I don’t hate it, but it doesn’t have an actual good, solid, diverse plan. Just too repetitive, and easy to combat.
@@fun_g well if u wanna become intermediate the London is absolutely terrible for that level, especially when they know how to combat it, so take my advice or leave it if ur 700 elo who’s going to take a while to get even close to a 1000
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!
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!
I used this opening for a long time, but I saw your video about the Ruy Lopez and switched to it immediatly Your videos are great, you really helped me with openings, thank you 😀
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.

I am a 1050 rated idiot who you shouldn't listen to. So, anyway: If d4 e5, then take. Just take. Everything is in chaos and this is our life now. If d4 and c5, advance one square. Again, everything is chaos. Okay, so what if e5 a little later? If: d4 d5, bf4 f6, e3 kc6, c3 e5? We are supposed to rock the Bishop back apparently. They loke to go h5 to set up h4. We have to go h3 to give the Bishop another square to bck up to, but we are okay and they have wonky pawns.
I am 13,and i love your VIDEOS.They are funny and easy to remember.You are the reason a child like me fell in love with chess.Thanks so much Chesspageone❤
I just happened upon this video in my feed. Thanks for making chess seem fun. I've watched a number of RUclips 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.
This is exactly what I needed. Every time I try to learn, the person either goes too fast or expects me to just know what moves to make. I'm like I don't even know how you even got to move 10. I like the step by step that he shows here, especially for the opening, and why he makes certain moves. He's actually showing us okay D4, then this, then that, etc. If they do this, then you do that, etc.
Yeah this is great stuff for chess noobs like me, who do not want to learn a lot of positions, but still want to have one solid system to defeat other chess noobs with. London system it is :-)
London players are my favourite to play against, especially in bullet, because I play the Englund gambit and they often pre-move the bishop blundering it instantly.

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.
Check, the king runs. Check, the king runs. Check, the king runs. I really don’t know about you guys but these little moments are what actually makes me remember the game plan
Funny how I don't know any openings but this setup is very similar to my setups when i feel I had a good opening. Turns out it has a name...i will practice this, thanks

@@pineapplejuice1156Before you get offended, please actually read the whole thing.
1. Your essay is too long and too many unnecessary analogies (especially the capitalized part). Just say you think the London is bad because it is defensive.
2. People can play any opening they find useful, you can't just tell them "defensive's bad, play aggressive"
3. I've seen you spamming this essay in many comments. Why are you so desperate to say the London is bad? Don't you have other things to do?
@@charlotte78369 I have already answered point one and two. SO OPEN YOU EYES AND READ THE COMMENTS BEFORE YOU BLANTANTLY INSULT SOMEONE WITH NO CARE.
To answer point number 3, I wanted to share my opinion simply because it pains me to see people not playing the London my way annnnd because hopefully someone can tell me why I’m wrong and have a debate over it instead of INSULTING ME IN REPEAT. So hopefully that answers your question. And fuck off already, don’t waste my time unless you are ready to be respectful AND HAVE A PROPER DEBATE INSTEAD OF REPEATED INSULTS. Thank you for your time.
@@charlotte78369 another thing, I have said this so many times but of course you are like a little worm, weak, and option less. So your only way to attack me is to ASK THE SAME QUESTION.
But fine I’ll answer you, your question was, “you don’t get to choose what a person plays”. It’s a good question and I agree, I know that people are free minds and they deserve to make lots of choices like this one.
so to answer you. I NEVER SAID ANYONE HAD TO PLAY LIKE ME, I INSTEAD SAID THAT YOU CAN CHOOSE TO IF YOU BELIEVE IM RIGHT. SO FUCK OFF, AND DONT WASTE MY TIME, IF YOU DONT EVEN BOTHER TO READ BEFORE YOU INSULT.
Man, these are great videos. Easy to understand and commit to memory, funny enough to keep me entertained and engaged. You have a real knack for this, looking forward to the middle game episode.
Same here
Same here✋🏾
I love the dry humor in these vids. Super stripped down and effective teachings as well
We really need an entire playlist dedicated to middle games. Looking forward to that video you mentioned
With the half speed and a three times repitation I learned much about a solid opening. Thank you very much. I am a beginner but with this set up I winned a few games against friends which play much better than I play.
Greetings from Vienna !
(Please, excuse my English)
Just a comment to support all that massive work you did to describe complicated theory in 10 minutes. Thanks
You've actually given me encouragement to keep going....for months I've been trying to understand all the aspects of chess and I've been overwhelmed. I finally chose the London System as one I feel most comfortable with but couldn't figure what to do when my opponent does the unexpected. These illustrations are so helpful (and entertaining) and easy for me to grasp. Now I see why I move the pieces where they should go and what the point is. Once I have this video down I look forward to the middle game instructions. I look forward to seeing many more in these easy-to-understand style.
Interesting! What's your ELO now?
@@simulationfootball I have no idea. I understand the basic idea of ELO, but will have to learn how one gets it in the first place.

Is it AI?
@@AwareLife Yeah it is but it's the stuff that it pronounces and also what the creator chooses the AI to say is what makes me laugh sometimes.
Yeah, you have a phenomenal chess channel. Everything is explained extremely well, thanks for all you do!
"Hippity hoppity, your queen is my property" 😂 Great vid man, i learn a lot of chess moves from you
I unexpectedly laughed so loud at this, brilliant.
I was hoping for this! What a great video...the were the others you made before this! Love how straight forward you are! And, I love the humor...never have I laughed this much during a chess tutorial video before!
Glad to see you’re going to be covering tactics and positional ideas soon 🔥
Given how much my games have improved simply from learning the Indian defence from you, I’m excited to learn this!
Dunno how or why but the way the techniques are explained in your vids make them so much easier to learn (and remember)
What if black does not castle king side? It's not an obligatory move, and most decent players will hesitate to do that castling against the London.
It becomes a game of wits
Exactly bro
Yeah, that's why you need to actually learn chess it's self without openings
@@vishalahmad-ck6cu you do need opening tho, freestyling opening isnt a good idea
I really wanna thank you and your channel for making these videos. I gave up chess few months ago, mainly feeling myself an idiot and can’t see the “big pictures” always concerned on a few section and struggle to make any strategy. May I say your videos so easy to understand that ignite my flame 🔥 again. Thanx as keep it up!
@chesspage1, you do a great job. I thank you so much. I keep practicing every opening you explain (carro, Indian, queen gambit) and fruitfully develop my game. You are doing an important impact on people.
Can I just say I have watched 10+ guide videos but yours was so good at explaining at what Im actually trying too achieve playing the london that I went 9(wins)-1(lose) after watching this! You are the man!
hippity hoppity, your queen is my property had me dying 😂
Not only is this easily followable for a beginner/average chess player, but I absolutely love your sense of humor and the suspensful music.
At 2:50 when the black bishop moves to f5, you have the option to push c4 and turn it into a queens gambit. I’ve had several games where you follow up with Qb4 and black hangs the entire queen side. Have fun 👹
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?

seriously I waited so eagerly, and was so hyped for the new opening and its london, I am utterly butthurt and displeased by this man
Yeah...
THANK YOU I WAS WAITING FOR YOUR GUIDE FOR LONDON (specifically yours cuz your guids are amazing)
London is amazing opening idk why people hate it
agreed man's guides are fun to watch as well
too me it’s too simple, but it has lack of flaws, but at higher levels u need more complex openings, mostly because u want to overpower ur opponent in the middle game, since it’s easier to combat than an opening such as the catalan.
I don’t hate it, but it doesn’t have an actual good, solid, diverse plan. Just too repetitive, and easy to combat.
@@rahul445 the title clearly says "as a beginner" so ???
@@fun_g well if u wanna become intermediate the London is absolutely terrible for that level, especially when they know how to combat it, so take my advice or leave it if ur 700 elo who’s going to take a while to get even close to a 1000

These are the best chess videos because they are so entertaining, but very valuable and to the point
Wat if they don’t castle
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!
0:55 it’s true, after watching this video I lost a game and accused my opponent of cheating with ben wa balls.
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!
I have a question world ?What if the BEAUTIFUL opponent didn't castle will the game still be the same ?
If he didn't custle you don't make the queen's move but push the knights to attack
This video is probably for 500-700 elo players but your teaching style is something amazing ❤❤❤
The real problem is when the player wont castle for you💀
Or when they castle in opposite side
Yeeh don’t play hope chess 😂💔
Your videos are legendary man! Thank you for all your hard work! Best chess channel on RUclips!

What if he plays pawn e5?
resign
Answer 1: Defend that pawn! Defend that pawn!
Answer 2: THIS IS SCANDANAVIA NOW
Useless ah answers
Resign
I am a 1050 rated idiot who you shouldn't listen to. So, anyway:
If d4 e5, then take. Just take. Everything is in chaos and this is our life now.
If d4 and c5, advance one square. Again, everything is chaos.
Okay, so what if e5 a little later?
If: d4 d5, bf4 f6, e3 kc6, c3 e5?
We are supposed to rock the Bishop back apparently.
They loke to go h5 to set up h4. We have to go h3 to give the Bishop another square to bck up to, but we are okay and they have wonky pawns.
Hands down best chess video I’ve seen. Bravo 👏

Waiting for King's Indian Defense vs London System
Amazing guide, just started relearning chess recently.
Now that I think about it, announcing your next video before it's done is a good strategy to gain more subscribers
You know you have a perfect food’n’video moment when Chesspage1 posts
You don't know how long I've waited for this video
just immediately after watching this video i crushed 2 players with the london system, kudos man your content is very helpful
I've watched this video three times, and each time absorb a bit more of it.
This is exactly what I needed. Every time I try to learn, the person either goes too fast or expects me to just know what moves to make. I'm like I don't even know how you even got to move 10. I like the step by step that he shows here, especially for the opening, and why he makes certain moves. He's actually showing us okay D4, then this, then that, etc. If they do this, then you do that, etc.
Yeah this is great stuff for chess noobs like me, who do not want to learn a lot of positions, but still want to have one solid system to defeat other chess noobs with. London system it is :-)

was wondering if this videi was gonna be a thing, feels like a natural complement to the queen's gambit
These videos are great! Now have to share them with my a buddy learning chess.
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.
Best chess tutorial video i've ever seen! 🤯 Very good job :)
London players are my favourite to play against, especially in bullet, because I play the Englund gambit and they often pre-move the bishop blundering it instantly.
