After the opening you played without plan, just moving pieces. .. And some of your moves were weak like g3 then you hang pawn for nothing and position was lost. Why didn't you exchange bad bishop for the knight.. Do you know how to castle? Why moving same pieces multiple times when your rooks are not in the game yet?..

First leran all the fundamentals in chess, then pick up opening and dont just memorize moves without understanding why. Ofcourse first work on some tactics and chess visualization so you don't hang pawn or pieces out of nowhere.

I am not good in plan. I gotta practice in that.

Can you recommend me some books?

Don't hang pawns. Ditch the London System. Work on tactics.

You see every opening is well analysed today and I dont want the opponent to feel ok.

I am an e4 player but the games will be dull that way. So i took the London system.

Anyway I dont think their was any tactical combination for white in here(please show me if there is)

no books, just watch some online videos from masters explaining stuff like GM simon Williams youtube.

 I learned the London system from Ginger GM only.

Thanks a lot to him!!!!

yeah, to pick up opening i think you must first have played all of them. To know different types of pawn structures, positions, gambits etc. To know which ones suits you and to avoid being pulled into position you absolutely have no idea what to do etc, because you will blunder very quickly.

I have played lots of 3 min and 1 min games at high level. Many players will crush me in couple of position but as soon i trick them into different type of position they started to miss simple tactical moves, they playwith wrong plan etc and they lose very quickly.

It's funny , many of them play wrong openings. For example a guy plays a3 and h3... but then suddenly he goes all in for attack.. it will not work.. or guy is playing russian game or french exchange and goes for attack all in lol.. openings just not suited for that or some sharp tactical e4 gambit and then he plays slow moves and losing all the iniative lol.

There isn't a problem with the London System itself but I believe not learning more classical openings really stunts ones chess growth.

your statement is really true.

I will reflect upon that.
