So glad YT recommended this one. I'd forgotten about the SL lectures and used to watch them a lot in the past. This is a brilliant explanation of each side's plans in the London and just what I needed. Thank you!!
Pepe Cuenca me encanta la emoción que le pones a las partidas y soy un gran admirador de Saint Louis Chess Club, especialmente de Yasser Seirawan y Jonathan Shcrantz. Me da mucho gusto verte en este canal. Saludos desde México.
Querido Pepe, volví del trabajo y lo volví a ver, no solo por el sistema Londres; sino porque sos un verdadero ejemplo. He visto tu CV en Linkedin. Realmente sos un gran ejemplo, sobretodo para los jóvenes. Se puede ser absolutamente profesional como en SL o divertido como en dicharachero. Abrazo querido José
Excellent lesson, unlike many others that usually serve as teasers to buy commercial lessons, this one provides many useful background details on why's and how's. Well done Pepe.
Pepe es un grande, en todos los sentidos, ingeniero, matemático, y un gran maestro muy humilde, además de entretenido, simpático y un show él mismo! Y si uno observa la edad, es un hombre bastante joven, es increible todo lo que ya ha hecho los que nos da una idea de su capacidad intelectual y también de su voluntad.
Very nice ideas. Not mentioned are... 1. Note that the final critical position of the main line is a favorable Advanced French locked double chain position. 2. When White plays f5, it's actually a Dutch Stonewall position, so it'd be interesting if Black immediately for the described maneuver in a regular Dutch stonewall, if the f5 square is available for the QN on the way to d6 to dominate the e4 square. So, the maneuver is possibly a tool to be used in other openings as well, not just the London System... And who knows, maybe the Dutch Stonewall is where Adams might have had inspiration for the maneuver.
It was so weird not watching him to "donpepizate" the position 😅 (in spanish he calls "donpepizar" to the action of trading queens bc is very common on him "Don Pepe" to trade queens)
I like the calm, 'can do' approach to fixing the computer snafu. Seriously, I probsbly shouldn't read into it much, but freaking out over small troubles is definately not a GM trait.
5:50 it seems slightly better to take cxd4 before Nd7. That way when white captures the knight on d7, we can take immediately on f4. Otherwise, c5 is hanging and we would have to take the knight first and we both give up our bishop pair.
I'm an ex player (2206 USCF was my top rating), pero mi Espanol es no bueno Y tambien mi oida is mal y yo soy(?0 setenta seis anos y yo lira (?) lips. I would like to follow the moves better and perhaps play aljedrez uno mas tiempo en Mexico quando the pandemic ends. How can I get a chessplaying native speaking pen pal from Mexico to communicate with me?In '98-99 I taught English for a year in Japan. I'd like to eventually move/go to Mexico and really Spanish and teach English and chess. Born in CT and lived for the last 35 plus years in Southern CA.Suggestions?
Will you do a video against the London System if black plays 3... Bf5? This is the move I used a lot against this opening and since the game continues in reversed Giuoco Pianissimo style all I need to do is calculate towards an even endgame.
9:32 8... Be7 after 8. Bb5 is inaccurate for Black. White will play h3, which counters the Nh5 threat by giving White's dark-square B an extra square. As to the Qb6 "threat", White actually has a4, protecting the B, which doesn't have to move at all.
Pepe, thank you for the lection! London System gives nothing to white, but sucks the blood of the black player. When the opponent once again plays this mud, I'm like "Again! I'm sick of it! Please, play chess, not the London System!" ;) Perhaps your novelty will be forced to stop playing the London system, and we can all finally play chess ;))))
I play LAD defence and The Mein Kampf.... This is more solid.. And It maintained the tempo of the minor pieces... So pieces are "resilient" when being attacked... It gv me a Quality ending.. Peons are intact and Centralised.The Tempis are more valuable when it comes to the endgames. This will be published "ASAP".
No tengo GM y vi un avance de su Curso. Se que son 48 videos que no puedo comprar!!!!! Me interesa mucho pero no tengo dinero para comprarlo. Amigo GM Ud podría ayudarme? Desde ya y sea como fuere le doy las gracias ! Atte
Congratulations Mr. Milongas !!! 😁😁
How do you say RATATATATA in English? 😂
So glad YT recommended this one. I'd forgotten about the SL lectures and used to watch them a lot in the past. This is a brilliant explanation of each side's plans in the London and just what I needed. Thank you!!
good lecture. He has the audience involved and very thoroughly evaluates a lot of options.
Great presentation! For the first time I feel ready to play against the London system. Thank you.
Thank you. Great lecture. I've long been waiting for this, since I have been struggling against London players.

I learned a lot from this lecture!
Jajaj
I hate playing against the London System. Thanks for making this video
You're not alone in this ;)
Que raro verlo al pepon hablar en ingles... lo vi completo buena clase!
Ratatatatatatata = Rhathathathatha
Jajajajsjjasjs
Épico.
Me sorprende 2 cosas. Que entienda todo el inglés cuando lo habla un no nativo y ver a Pepe hablando tan serio jajajajaja. Eso sí es rarisimo
Pues su ingles no sera suficiente para transmitir una partida de ajedrez, como un partido de futbol.
A very good teacher! Helped a lot! Thank you!
I like Mr. Pape Cuenca & his attitude ❤️
Este señor todo lo que " toca" lo convierte en oro

Mr Pepón! The best in everywhere!

Random farm worker: "RIggggghhhht"
Pepe te seguimos en Español, Inglés, Francés, Portugués o en Cine Mudo !!! Sos un Grande!!
Where was Facundo (Nick name for the f pawn or el faco)?
It was so weird not watching him to "donpepizate" the position 😅
(in spanish he calls "donpepizar" to the action of trading queens bc is very common on him "Don Pepe" to trade queens)
Qué grande eres Pepón, que ahora además de ajedrez ¡aprendo inglés!
Good lecture. A plan to face down the London is extremely important at club level.
Wow i really enjoyed this😄😄
Felicitaciones! Ojalá algún día podamos conocernos. Eres un gran tipo
I find that I need to review this often because if I forget one detail with black I just feel like I'm waiting to die for the entire game.
I like the calm, 'can do' approach to fixing the computer snafu. Seriously, I probsbly shouldn't read into it much, but freaking out over small troubles is definately not a GM trait.
Very instructive lecture. Thank you.
thank you for this. watching this after losing to the londond system
Good lecture, Mr. Milongas.
5:50 it seems slightly better to take cxd4 before Nd7. That way when white captures the knight on d7, we can take immediately on f4. Otherwise, c5 is hanging and we would have to take the knight first and we both give up our bishop pair.
After cxd4 Nxc6 Bxf4 Ncxd4 Bh6 black has 2 bishops but what is the one on h6 doing? If Bd6 Nb5 white is going to take on D6 after the Q moves.
Parece un Pepe cuenca de una línea espacio tiempo diferente, es extraño verle tan calmado todo un super clase, Éxitos.
Sí, se ve todo seriecito; si supieran cómo es Mr. Milongas realmente, jajajá.
I'm very excited to see what you'll do when carlsen play the London system against you
It happened in the banter blitz cup...Carlsen didn’t get much out of the opening but Cuenca slipped later on in the game. It was a decent game anyway
I play london system.. but I did not know how to play against it..😅
pepe esos lentes no lo usas en las trasmisiones en castellano
incredibly valuable video. thank you for this
Sos un crack Pepe... Sos un Da Vinci.
Beautiful Adam's game
great lesson, congratulations
thanks saint louis chess club and pepe for sharing this opening theory
Very educational- thank you.
Excelente!!!, gran trabajo
Snakes in the ocean,

Nice Video, brother.

How you do to donpepizar the position

They lost Ben Finegold but can be offset with Pepe Cuenca
Very suspicious
3:08 post crash
Espectacular Mr. Pepon
Good stuff Pepe
Ive been wondring early late. From newyork city to the golden gate. And it dont look like,, i never stop my won'dering. 🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶
Thank you. It is a very usefull lecture.
9:32 8... Be7 after 8. Bb5 is inaccurate for Black. White will play h3, which counters the Nh5 threat by giving White's dark-square B an extra square. As to the Qb6 "threat", White actually has a4, protecting the B, which doesn't have to move at all.
Very nice video, good explanation of ideas.
Pero que me estas contando pepon que pasa si capturo en b5
thumbnail of pepe cuenca looks like chris penn
hahaha great lecture and i am loughing because i feel like watching a spanish football match, something like, mesii goallll
Pepe, thank you for the lection! London System gives nothing to white, but sucks the blood of the black player. When the opponent once again plays this mud, I'm like "Again! I'm sick of it! Please, play chess, not the London System!" ;) Perhaps your novelty will be forced to stop playing the London system, and we can all finally play chess ;))))
47:56 "Gata Kamsky - a living legend of chess'. A subtle joke there that the audience completely missed...
What is the joke
Very instructive lecture
Well explained, thanks Pepe!
21:15 is Ke2 instead of 0-0-0 any good? Not necessarily immediately, maybe after h4
can you do a lecture on the jobava london system?
really good
I play LAD defence and The Mein Kampf.... This is more solid.. And It maintained the tempo of the minor pieces... So pieces are "resilient" when being attacked... It gv me a Quality ending.. Peons are intact and Centralised.The Tempis are more valuable when it comes to the endgames. This will be published "ASAP".
El Pepón es un tío serio y todo
I blame facundo for the crash...
Altas gafas pepón!
@6:00 there is bishop g5 and pins the knights.
Great lesson!
after ...Ne7 how about Bh4?
cool, thanks
Shorter version is play c5 in the beginning daa
This is great stuff!
Thanks!
Who is going to come to solve all problems??!! :)
El faaaaacuuuun
11:55 F4 ( with Facundo move ! )
What a beauty
What is different London system and mason attack ? Are they same theory idea ?
good question...the London system is a set up whereas the Mason attack is a variation with specific plans like a reverse Dutch
Pepe haz uno como este en castellano
The London system is so powerful that it will crash your computer
Nice Explanation
Grande Pepe
Debería de hacer la versión en español
PEPE, enorme
thank you so much
good english Pepe!!!
Mister Milongas!!
I have lost a lot of games playing against the London System. This is a great lecture and should help my positional chess.
Why e4
Grande Pepón!

Me interesa mucho pero no tengo dinero para comprarlo. Amigo GM Ud podría ayudarme? Desde ya y sea como fuere le doy las gracias ! Atte
Terima kasih
I‘d like to know, what ratings the guys in the audience have. They don‘t see simple pawn forks or a mate in 1. Anyway great lecture.
My takeaway: use the manuever Nc6-e7-f5 to d6. This idea would also work well against the stonewall, as well as the Dutch from the White side.
