not lost, refuted

In your own words, explain to me what you believe the word "refuted" means.

The Accelerated London System is one type of London system that can be refuted. It is super passive.

What are you talking about? Accelerated London System can't be 'refuted' and it is not passive, people who say that clearly don't have much knowledge about it...

I studied the opening in-depth, I knew it had to be passive. I looked into the lines and they refute white really well and hard. White deserves this for avoiding all of this hteory.

I am 2000, I have a good understanding of most if not all openings.

I too am a 2000, I've been playing accelerated london for my whole career, I've made a post on it, done thousands of hours on it studying it in-depth with GM's, dvd's courses and more, so I doubt your little in-depth look is refuting a opening that GM's used and is used at the top level...

GM's rarely use it at top level. Most of the time, it is to get a draw with white, which Hikaru told, is over all, "a tricks only opening strategy". You are 1900, you can play any opening in bullet.

Well you're proving yourself wrong here which is funny: "GM's rarely use it at top level." (Which is A incorrect GM's use london system all the time maybe not at super GM level) you literally admit GM's sometimes use it. "Hikaru told, is over all, "a tricks only opening strategy"' once again defeating your own arguement, Hikaru calls it a tricky opening, not a refuted or passive opening which is what you're saying. And lastly this 'You are 1900, you can play any opening in bullet' well guess what mr. 2000 I've participated in the FIDE Youth World Cup Rapid U16 with players like Christopher Yoo, did it ever enter your brain that I don't use chess.com as my main?? Anyway good discussion, you basically proved yourself wrong... Even your c5 line, that's just mainline, literally nothing special

That's one way to call openings

 I'm also trying to learn some e4 openings. But so far, this London System seems to be giving me the most wins when I stick with it.

Stick with d4, to expand on what you're already doing.

can openers open condensed milk. My cup of tea.

MisterWindUpBird

I personally prefer those old school western style openers for cans... the handle with a small hooked blade and a notched loop. Every one of the new fangled style ones stop working in no time at all, and those fiddly little military style ones do my head in...

Those were the good old days.

I would say doors, although windows can be nice and easy.

@AussieRookie Are you trying to fan me out? LOL

Nope handlebars on the cars is better than yours.

Zdecydowanie E4 a potem ruchy skoczkami

Born2slaYer

If you are good at positional play you should prefer e4 and if you are good at tactical chess you should prefer d4

 i really like the queens wayward as literally.. no one knows how to counter it. you get that one person that actually knows how to defend their pawn with their knight but then you have that person that plays the kiddie countergambit and gets countered...

Karrysparov

why do you have something against the queens wayward

Karrysparov

 wait, people play it to get mate? i just play it to get the free pawn or a free rook LOL

Karrysparov

 unless you try to scholars mate off of the queens wayward i dont see how it is disrespectful

Karrysparov

seems like you've lost a few games against the queens wayward and are mad
