    At about 6:00, we're talking about pushing e3 before the knight to f3, but I don't understand what we're supposed to do If black plays bishop to g4 anyway, threatening the queen. Do we block it with the bishop? And then what if black trades light squared bishops? Doesn't that mess us up too?

    • @nishusaif6085
      @nishusaif6085 4 месяца назад

      Nd7 doesn't work because of bishop takes c7. When the queen takes you take the rook. And if the queen doesn't take, then take the bishop.

  • @siddharthannandhakumar6187
    @siddharthannandhakumar6187 8 месяцев назад

    18:22... In this position the king can still move to d8 or d7 and can take our knight after the discovered check of Nxc7+... So isn't it better if we move Nb5 instead of Nd5 so that the king won't come to protect the pawn?

    I am currently 1200 and I have been playing a lot of queens gambit, and there are a few lines where I get a worse position. I feel like learning the london system hand in hand with queens gambit is completing your d4 opening strategies. Because the london system makes up for things that queens gambit doesn't do. Really amazing explanation.

  • @kostkacukru1776
    @kostkacukru1776 9 месяцев назад

    The thing about e5 move attacking White's first move d4 is, that you are gambling against literally every opening of d4, opponent can play d4 with intention of playing c4 or Nf3 or Bg5. I mean, that is more like a recommendation, how to play against every d4 than just London haha. So if you learn this sequence with e5 against d4, then you are playing against all d4 openings, which is kinda nice because it is the second most played move after e4. I'm actually struggling against d4 the most, I prefer to play king's indian defence or Nimzowitch defense with Bb4, but you cannot play it against all d4 openings, e5 just cuts it and you can always focus on the same board, because almost everyone will take that pawn od e5.

    • @SasuPlaying
      @SasuPlaying 9 месяцев назад +1

      The truth is that englund is just losing on move 1 if white knows basic threats black has in that opening. When in doubt against d4 just play anti London setup or queen's gambit declined

    I still will push my bishop to g4 even if the knight isn't there. Most of the time they are so regid in the system they just move the knight three anyway. If they push the pawn that's fine as I love just not letting them get their perfect setup.
