London System - Games, tourneys and comments

It is not our first tourney for the London System, but the first for this popular line that was brought to light in 1888.  It is probably not the first time it was played as well, but the game below is the first recorded game for the London System.  The line, although a transposition, is the most common line played in the London.  The "Double D" as I call it, is referring to both pawns face to face on the d-file.
