Part 6 of a series of lectures on the London system. This demonstrates the London System being played as black, one tempo down. In this scenario the thematic moves include d5/Bf5/Nf6 (instead of d4/Bf4/Nf3) with pawns on e6/c6 (instead of e3/c3), and with Nbd7/Bd6 (instead of Nbd2/Bd3). For purists, the moves d5/Bf5 are also seen in the Baltic and Slav defences although, in this video, I'm just reversing the general themes / logic in the London System.
