Hi everyone! I've been learning the London System recently and I'm really enjoying how solid and easy it is to play. I like the setup with d4, Nf3, Bf4, e3, and c3, but I'm still figuring out the best plans in different positions. What are your favorite lines or tricks in the London? How do you handle aggressive responses like the Jobava Attack or early ...c5/...Qb6 setups? Do you think the London works well at higher levels too? Would love to hear your thoughts, ideas, and experiences! Thanks 😊 ~ Srinika

The London is a bad choice in an online setting, it's way too bland. Most of the advantages of playing the London are metagame related. Otherwise it really just sucks.

I usually destroy it with the englund gambit.

Sometimes in low time games, my opponents premove the London and this happens lol.

White often involves a plan to put a knight on e5, supported by the pawn and bishop.

The London is great. If it’s so bad then why does MC like it.

I never bothered to learn the London, but why do people hate it?
