I mean come on, you forked him on move 18, that's not a positional crush.

Although yes, that middlegame (after 8.Qxb6) often leads to positional crushes. It's been a while since I looked at it, but maybe 9...h6 is better than 9...b5 because a big part of the "crush" is how that bishop cuts through white's position and controls b1.

true lol, It still was crushing though lol. But h6 is not that good, b5 is preferable in general to act immediatly before he castles, I dont think white can really take the f5 bishop any time soon

Ah ok, maybe not. I was thinking Nh4 but I didn't see Bc2 is a square.

The banana will admit, you are a decent opponent to play.

Two similar-looking positions may not be similar at all, and this applies here.

In the normal London line where white (wrongly) swaps queens at b6, white has a kinght at f3 and the second one at b1. This means he cannot prevent the ...b5-b4 pawn advance, so Black has a nice initiative.

Here, the g1 knight is at home, and the other one at d2 already. This means that white could (and should) play 9.a3 (instead of 9.Be2), and meet ...b5 with Rc1 stopping ...b4 for good, when he has some advantage.

Interesting, thanks. I didn't know this.

Yes,in the London system,u should almost always delay developing the G1 knight especially when black plays c5 and Qb6
