The London System is a Queen's Pawn Opening that can be used as a common defensive strategy against black. It is an opening that can be played by chess players who don`t want to learn too much opening theory and this opening is not only played by beginners. Even Magnus Carlsen played it several times.

In this video, IM Andrey Ostrovskiy is discussing with you the first plan of attack for white in the London System, which is based on the occupation of the e5-square with the knight.

After the universal move order:
1. d4 Nf6 2. Nf3 e6 3. Bf4 c5 4. e3 d5 5. c3 Nc6 6. Nbd2 Bd6 7. Bg3 O-O 8. Bd3 b6 9. Ne5, we reach the mainline where white starts an attack on the kingside.
