You have no basis for a kingside attack in the London.
EXTREMELY BIASED openings compass

only way white can complicate things in the london is by playing dumb aggressive-looking pawn moves but then hang mate in 1

I would say that pretty much any variation of the french defence is boring, whether it's exchange, advance or two knights. And I'm not saying this because I'm English, honest.
I usually like to play orthoschnapp gambit against the french because it gets much more spicy and people who play the french are usually unprepared against this gambit. It also helps that chess.com falslly labels it as one of the many the steinitz variations of the French

Ever seen the Winawer?
Nice montage, but the English flag is the cross of St George not the Union Flag(Jack) which is the flag of the UK.
You put the scotch in the bad and not creative quadrant, while putting najdorf in the top left quarter with Kasparov. Kasparov practically brought the scotch back from the dead, and the opening is as much as a theoretical nightmare as sicilian lines.

At this point playing the bongcloud is not only like beating a dead horse, you also douse it in nitrogen, freeze it in a tank, transport it to the nearest volcano via helicopter, throw the tank in the volcano, and film all of that and upload The video to YouTube.
I think that's how they killed The Blob.
Goosebumps!?

Yeah I know that but I didn’t make the pictures for the tier list, otherwise I would have most certainly included the Nimzowitsch defense.

hmm i think so
french defense exchange is basically my nightmare. Possibly the only opening more boring then the london.
as hikaru once said "come on dont play the london, be a man!"
yes which is basically advocating to play Colle instead
no he is saying to stop playing garbage openings and go for the win, your just being lazy as white which he implies
"stop playing garbage openings" = Start playing Colle
no it means play the KID, or anything extremely crazy than the boring dry london
if you ever play the london, then spice things up with g4 and then followed by h4. So basically a kingside attack
