At 6:45 the choice of using a rook or queen to position on the same file as the opponent's king Or to sacrifice a piece and cause the king to step into the rook's file, That is the way to think about it. The goal and the two different methods available.
I know this comment is kinda late, but you can also long castle since the other rook(which you didnt castle with) will be able to help with the king side attack, just trade the pawn infront of the rook and the rook and the queen and some bishops will be able to pressure the opponents king
I would like to say I got into a very similar position in a game today and although it wasn’t the same, I managed to sacrifice a knight, bishop, and a few moves later a rook and I mated the opponents king on E7
Instead of the knight moving to F7, could the other night move to G5 and if pawn takes bishop can take threatening to take the knight on F6, and if he doesn’t take the knight or move the king then you can Royal fork E6🥳…. Or no…
Great video, but what’s the play if whites 2nd move is bishop to f5, which seems quite likely? I tried alternative scenarios but couldn’t make the attack work, and swapping out the bishops doesn’t help as you need both bishops in the end game to gain the advantage? Any ideas welcome, thanks.
1 d4 e6 2 Bf4 g5! (The London gives Black equality which means something only at the world title level. Long as you don't want to become a champion it's a good opening). 1 d4 e6 2 Bf4 c5 is fine. There are no "magic openings" also the QID setup does very well against it.
Correct me if I’m wrong, but after the Knight sac, is E5 not okay for black? After the queen moves, E4, N3E5…. I mean I guess white won a pawn, but their bishop is terrible.
Worried about that too. But white is crushing (+8) after N sac. E5 push gets punished via an immediate BxN check (+12). Q gets cleared to soon grab h pawn and infiltrate deep in combo with f file opening soon thereafter too (activating R). The best (sad) move for black was Ne4 (+9). Game was already all but lost a few moves earlier.
very interesting, despite none skilled player as black will let you reach that favorable position to attack, they will destroy your complex structure way before.
I'm like 300 and I played the 1300 computer trying to learn the London. I had a huge advantage the computer said. Then London bridges came crashing down I miscalculated one move and completely lost.
That was an amazing example. I have never seen a London attack with such forceful attack
I am happy to hear you've enjoyed it!
@@Kestony thanks

Thanks for this really struggling with my middle game especially when it gets really crowded .

That is awesome!
Such a great video
Thank you!
I was hoping this was how to attack the London system. But defending against it is almost as good.
Instead of the knight moving to F7, could the other night move to G5 and if pawn takes bishop can take threatening to take the knight on F6, and if he doesn’t take the knight or move the king then you can Royal fork E6🥳…. Or no…
Superb. 🌟

2:00 does this mean we should castle queen if say black bishop takes our bishop?
Almost every time I play London opening the opponent castles the opposite direction that what is shown in these videos.
1 d4 e6 2 Bf4 g5! (The London gives Black equality which means something only at the world title level. Long as you don't want to become a champion it's a good opening). 1 d4 e6 2 Bf4 c5 is fine. There are no "magic openings" also the QID setup does very well against it.

What if my opponent knows how to play chess? These moves are meant players rated under 1600.
In the combination, the opening of the f-file was the thing I don't see.
I get scared when sacrificing lol I get clapped most of the time

This f4 move kinda looks like a stonewall ngl
Bro most of the time my opponents tarde with white bishop..😑
Always
Engines > coaches (all my stuff is free online)
Something with your sound mix is not very pleasant
this is not London, this is Colle
It is London because bf4

Or don't play people that play boring london games.
how is it boring? winning is fun
