So I also play the dutch, and from studying it I've found that against the london, often a lot of times what you can do is you can put the bishop on d6, get doubled pawns, but then push d6-d5 and have a huge clamp on e4, then push the 2nd pawn d7-d6 to prevent any Ne5 crap. Often times this can block the LSB on the square on b7, but it can readjust to a6 if needed and trade itself off or perhaps target a pawn on c4. What your opponent did with h4-h5-h6 was kind of odd, but not totally stupid, but it was kind of a waste as they needed to develop. I would recommend looking into these kinds of ideas with the computer!
This is how Simon Williams recommends playing against the London. I don’t know why Owen doesn’t also play this line given all the info Simon has on it that he can learn from.
@@Lucan23 this is what I almost always play, this game just felt different since I was against a weird h pawn. But I almost always do this so I'm not sure what you're talking about....
Nice games today! Classic case of opponents playing the clock instead of the board
@@delibirdempire4792 it happens to all of us!
Oh man game 2 was beautiful. Great poise and time usage vs a high rated opponent. We gotta channel this Owen every day hahah
it ain't happening every day bro! i need to improooooove hahaha
Freaking love the energy! nice work man!
Thanks for watching big lad!!!
thanks for making the effort to reply to all your messages!
Yes bro, it's why I make videos, I like talking to you guys
that first game was super weird. the second game was great though winning feels better when your opponent plays well
They both were fun for me
tek, tek, tek and this is just winning 😁
great games! also love your accent :)
Glad you're enjoying my friend!!

@@Lucan23 is that in his dutch chessable course, or does he showcase some of these ideas on his YT channel?

@@SpoopySh1ny he showcases that a lot and also there is a free course on his classical Dutch on chess.com

Nice games man
@@gainstthegrain thanks big lad!!
Have you had any 100% accuracy games on the channel?
If so how many moves. What's everybody's highest move 100% game
@@TheRosiebeam I haven't. I think you have to play E4 to get 100%. D4 is already technically a mistake I think haha
I'm very happy for you, Owen. 2K elo is coming soon👍
