{ The London System Can Bring you control center and attack king side!!
I will show you the most main ideas when you playing the London Opening. [%csl Bd4][%cal Bd2d4] } 1. d4 { I'll explain the main ideas you will do in most London Opening games. } 1... d5 { Develop your london bishop to build pawn pyramid. [%csl Bf4][%cal Bc1f4] } 2. Bf4 { [%csl Be3][%cal Be2e3] } 2... Nf6 { Play e3 and let's build strongest pyramid of pawns in the center. [%csl Be3][%cal Be2e3] } 3. e3 c5 { If you take the pawn your just gonna destroy your own pyramid of pawns!
Just continue build your pyramid of pawns if he take cxd4 then always you take the pawn with E pawn. [%csl Bc3,Gd4][%cal Bc2c3,Ge3d4] } 4. c3 { Your goal in london system opening is to play e3 already and when you meet c5 then e3 just building pyramids of pawn and control center first then develop your pieces. } 4... e6 { Now we finish building pyramids of pawns then we need to develop our pieces, some opponent want to play Qb6 and so annoying threating b2 so we need to develop our Knight in b1 to d2. [%csl Bd2][%cal Bb1d2] } 5. Nd2 Nc6 { Now we can develop our other knight. [%csl Bg1][%cal Bg1f3] } 6. Ngf3 { Let's discuss 6...Bd6 move from black. } 6... Bd6 { Not to exchanges if you take its like you helping the black to develop here Queen then he can play e5 break the center first its not good for white just play Bg3 if he take then hxg3 then you have H File and its better for white. [%csl Bg3][%cal Bf4g3] } 7. Bg3 { Generally when you are given a choice whether to make an exchange or not, you should NOT do the exchange, but KEEP THE TENSION and let your opponent make the exchange. If black takes the bishop on g3, which weaker plays often do, you get a free open file and g-pawn battering rams. These are both excellent resources when you do your kingside attack. [%csl Rg3][%cal Rd6g3,Bh2g3] } 7... O-O { Completed develop our all minor pieces! [%csl Bd3][%cal Bf1d3] } 8. Bd3 Re8 { Black want to break the center and free up his position light squared bishop.
You should never allow black to play e5. You have to block this square.
Play Ne5 [%csl Be5,Yc8][%cal Rf8e8,Re8e5,Be6e5,Yc8f5] } 9. Ne5 { This is a key move in the London System. You have to play this at some point in the London System in order to get into the middlegame. With the move Ne5, we are:
1. Preventing black from playing e5. *Super important, please take note of this*
2. Occupying the center, the very best thing you can do
3. Getting ready to play f4 next (Stonewall) and thereby setting up potential for a kingside attack. [%csl Be5][%cal Re6e5,Gf2f4] } 9... Qc7 { Our knight is attacked by too many pieces and not supported enough. [%csl Gc7,Gc6,Gd6,Re5,Bf4][%cal Bf2f4] } 10. f4 { Convert the "Pyramid" into what's known as a "Stonewall". (Pawns on c3, d4, e3 and f4)
This is your main goal in the London System out of the opening. You want to have:
1. Got all your pieces out and working, controlling both light and dark squares
2. Stopped black playing e5 (played Ne5)
3. Built your stonewall successfully [%cal Bb2d4,Be3f4,Be3d4] } *
