MASSIVE Losing Streak - Help needed!

Ok I'm basically done studying the most prominent lines in the London.

I have also found myself rediscovering and appreciating some of Carlsen's games far more, because I now know exactly what he's doing in the opening.

It is very solid and definitely can be aggressive, but in contrast to my usual hyper aggressive gambit openings it can feel a bit slow at times and I'm not entirely sure how that would translate in 3min games.

I'll play some 3 min games with it when I have time next week, until then I'm eager to study some more good games where the London System was successfully implemented.

Great job! I am curious how long you'll be able to keep that streak up. 

Did you have time to analyze some of the games in the OP and offer some advice to dsanchez?

Then challenge him to a few games an post it here , I would like to see how its done

can i do the honor of killing your streak

in a 20min game

plssssssssssssssss

Kinda disrespectful to call someone out like that tbh.

Why are you so confident that you can beat him?

He's a legit 2000-2100 player and National Master, I wouldn't be so sure man.🤨

Yes two things , dont talk about it do it , post it , secondly no need to call him names , there is a reason for everything , and you do not get a 2000 rating without strong play

Hey man, how have you been doing?

Any new discoveries or games in the London?😊

Hi , no , yes I have been looking at a few things , other variations like the Jabava London system , just going over some stuff I have seen before to , and playing

I've been looking at some prominent games, but Boyle vs Lane is basically the blue print.

Yeah that's a good game , standard d4 sort of variation and development , and the reason I like the London for king side attack and open h file.

here is a good video on some tricks for you

I knew about 2:21 but holy sh*t those additional greek gift lines are insane.😲

Have you played any of this before?

8:53 is insane.

I have not had the chance to play those lines , not many people at my level play the main line or book moves for that matter , I know several other tricks too that have not come up yet , I thought you would like that , there is a lot more tactical shots like that in other variations

You are very knowledgable in this system, it must be frustrating to have nearly mastered such an advanced opening, yet your opponents are probably not strong enough to reply with the best moves, constantly forcing you to improvise.

You're ahead of the game, man.

Well I hope to win a few when I get all the variations down and some more familiarity with all the subtle move orders and such , I am playing some other lines at present against stronger players just under 2000

I feel like if I lose lots of games ina row I do some puzzles it helps. And then sometimes i change the mode ofthe game. I hope this helps you!

@Bertovzki: Let's play a couple games, I wanna test my knowledge of the London. It'll definitely be a challenge to play against a specialist like yourself. I feel like I'm probably fine in the main lines, but I've been making some mistakes against the engine when unorthodox moves are played that don't adhere to the book.

Let's go, man.😊

@LO23Viper: Thanks! I do the exact same thing. Puzzles take your mind of things and calm you down. Losing streaks in Blitz are especially annoying cause they happen so fast.

Could I play you and Bertovzki cause I’m only like 12 andI want a challenge!

could we be friends?

thanks

....meat ??

mkaaaaay

I am pretty tired now been up all night , keen tomorrow night though , you should find me pretty easy but I like the challenge , I have not played many live games with it yet
