This will be a new series on our club to help you learn a couple things!
(All of these lessons are from a GM teacher teaching @kumakame)
Most intermediate players love to play a London type of setup like this:
BUT in some of your games the opponent as black plays THIS move:
Most of you guys take the bishop but you are giving your opponent a free tempo to develop their queen
INSTEAD PLAY THIS:
If black takes your bishop then you have a nice open file and can castle on the Queen side and get EXTRA attacks on black's king!
lol I know
I'll do that for next lesson
c4 then Nc3 would be more logical right so we attack/develop our knight controlling the center?
