Checkmate in 14 moves.. With the London System

typical beginner stuff, communist sir. beginners, such as me, can fall for anything..

I got that checkmate a couple of times when I played the London. Doesn't really show up that often, though.

7. Bg3 to clear the is such an advanced move to clear the rook file and prepare bd3, I honestly don’t think I’d ever see that from anybody under 1800. I don’t even know if this is theory but nobody would do it tbh. And even so black has no reason to take Bg3, but I mean whatever. I think you should play more rated games because you’ll quick find out chess at the 800 level is nothing even remotely close to this
uhhhh I'm afraid I've seen this at the 1300-1400 range

beginners won't know about 4.e6
yes they would thats theory..????
No beginners know theory
All beginners watch levy, so yes they will..

Also the game you showed is definitely at the intermediate level, at the least. Nobody under 1300 would play like this.. probably nobody under 1600 realistically would play like this. Probably realistically nobody under 2000 would honestly play like this, if I’m being honest.
This is GM tactics from Hikaru, but everything black plays is what a beginner would do.

Not an advanced move, I’ve seen this a few times out of the few times I’ve played against the London system, due to Levy.

in the 1200-1400 range, I think most people play englund gambit or dutch defense agains d4
That’s uhh intermediate players for ya, but that’s why I was mainly talking about beginners here bud.

This is a pretty well-known 'trick' in the London. Hikaru's talked about it, GothamChess has talked about it, Eric Rosen has talked about it, and I'm sure many more.
This is one that Hikaru showed Pokimane which im sure most of you saw, but there are counters to this checkmate, but counters to the counters
, I won't show you so you would have to watch the video to see . No intermediate player I think would fall for this, but this is great for my level, but you never know hehe..
