yeah...very impatient kid. London was 3 games?

There wasnt any hippo. There was like 3 games where it was white playing just for time.

Back to London, there wasnt any moves by black. Much less punishing.

You play a system yourself, with no strategic moves.

London System, if you play an Indian Game (=1...Nf6) then you can kick it around pretty nicely with a King's Indian Defense:

Hippo... I tried it myself. The antidote is normally to push pawns until you can challenge the opponent's f-pawn with a pawn, and then it's all over.

That's what they did against me, and they Crushed me.

(notice that in the hippo, his queen can't move, so 0-0-0 is out of the question for him, thus, his king is pretty stationary).

The guy vulgarly abuses half the chess world, and what the moderators do is modify the post?

This is totally insane. The guy should have been banned in a flash.
