you are about to learn the easiest opening for white because you play the same moves literally every game so if you've ever felt like you don't know what moves to make in the opening or how to respond to opponents this opening is perfect because it's the same moves no matter what your opponent does and you'll get a good start every single game the London system works great at any level but it's especially good if you are a beginner or intermediate player because it's so simple that you can always get a good position and literally tear through the chess.com Lobby farming ELO points like a boss so I can play it anytime against anything yes but it has some variations so make sure you pay attention to this whole video or you will make mistakes in your games lose ELO points and cry okay King I understand okay so let's take a look at the most general idea which is the following this is our setup we bring the dark Bishop out and close the pond structure and make this pyramid with C3 which turns out to be really strong the light Bishop nicely hovers in between these pawns and we are putting a lot of pressure on E5 which will be our first point of the video don't worry about remembering any of this after our video you can grab our complete guide to the London system in the description totally free and it explains everything we talked about so that way the next time you play a game you can just pull it up on your device and you'll be able to immediately win with this opening because you'll remember exactly how to play our main concern will will be the E5 Pawn push from black if they are able to do that their position is generally good and we as white are losing our attacking chances let's take a look at an example you guys are already cying our moves we are going to wipe the floor with you oh yeah will I'm wearing my lucky socks and we always win when I we those hello oh no he is attacking our Bishop if kills it once we kill back we lose our Pawn structure so let's pull the bishop back to G3 and if he takes there we get the open H file for out Rook your time here is come Bishop boy see you in here there we go so now we have this open H file and we might even want to Castle Queen side and use the H Rook for the attack now let's take a look at what happens if he doesn't take an castles instead we will continue our development whenever you see Knight C you know that now they can jump to B4 and attack our Bishop this is bad so now we can play C3 hello Black Knight my king told me to tell you to go f yourself completing our Pawn pyramid and blocking the B4 Square okay now do you remember what I said in the beginning we do not want him to push E5 Queen to E7 supports the E5 push so in order to stop it our Knight must jump in and block his Pawn Yeehaw but I can get killed by his Knight if your knight gets killed by their Knight once you take back with the pawn you are forking his bishop and Knight if he took with the bishop still our Pawn is advancing and is protected and we can support him with Pawn F4 taking more space so it's bad for black if they take okay now that I am safe and castled we have a really good position you can attack with F4 making this Knight super strong the bishop is aiming at H7 and you can get in with your queen okay so that's one version of how black can play now if they try to play a setup like the king's Indian we will switch up a tiny bit this will usually not be the best option for black since black is being slow in the center we will take the full center with E4 this time and not go for our pyramid we are going for a fast attack because he is allowing us to women here to make a battery and to put a lot of pressure on the H6 Square also making space for us to Castle Queen side oof big mistake by black to Castle as now we will just launch the attack on the king's side there's no way he is stopping [Music] it it doesn't matter too much what pawns you push every position is different but just pushing pawns on this side will be op and black won't be able to stop it all since his King is already castled and his position is weak so we have shown two main ways in which the opening can go one they don't play king's Indian two they do play The King's Indian if they don't play The King's Indian we make our little pyramid prevent E5 and even make a stone wall-like position with F4 we can attack nicely on the king's side if they do play The King's Indian we will not play our pyramid but push E4 and D4 and with a long Castle so we can launch the attack on their King please note that there are many other ways they can play but these are the two main ways it will usually go you absolutely do not need to learn all the lines and Theory below 1,800 ELO to play this well all you have to do is literally get the basics down he wants to take my Pawn let's stop him with another Pawn of ours and create our pyramid you can take me but my brother Pawn will just take my place pawns together are strong together when they go Bishop F5 I like to get my queen out to B3 because now the woman targets their B7 Pawn since it is no longer defended and she is active there don't worry King I will keep myself safe and weaken their defense oh okay woman never mind go back at least he is creating some weak squares as he pushes his pawns and now it's much harder for him to advance so we got something good out from it Castle time horsey it is time that youum jump in the middle of the board we have developed nicely but he can capture me just don't worry about it he won't okay I trust you don't worry about it he said they won't take he said by by King I have to get in the middle of the board to support pory boy thank you Mr Rook now I will have two friends supporting me hello go for it now you die okay guys take a look at this since he took with the pawn now he abandoned the pawns on the left so we are going to attack them haha now your Pawn on C4 is isolated good luck defending him L out let's trade the women No Escape my love Bishop hide over here you will be safe pong it's time to attack push ity push ity push push oh Queen is under attack let's move the E3 Pawn to block the attack you can attack my Bishop but I can give you a checky check first and your King has to come out to Danger oh no but I will just Escape now how are you going to defend your C4 Pawn you pushed it there at the start of the game but it was all part of my plan to make the pawn weak it's impossible that you saw that far ahead I am C Agnus marlson Knight go take that pawn yes my king I am also attacking the queen right now haha how are you going to defend your Pawn right now L what even is that move did you forget about my Bishop cutting this diagonal it's all over for you now I resign I think you're using stockfish to cheat no bro it's just my high IQ plays guys I don't see why he resigned okay I will explain after he moves the queen wherever I can just push my Pawns in the middle of the board and with the queen and Rook on the E file and the bishop cutting the board he will either get checkmated or lose a lot of material okay guys let's summarize what we should do start with D4 and put the dark Bishop out then close off with E3 develop the Knight to F3 and Bishop to D3 make a pyramid with the pawn on C3 and Castle to safety you are good to go if they attack your Bishop with their Bishop Slide the bishop back to G3 and you can retake with the H Pawn opening up the H file for the attack if they do not our idea is to plant a knight on E5 and maybe even play F4 to protect him and we can attack on the king's side but also on the Queen's side when needed with C4 if they play something like a king's Indian after D4 and Bishop F4 you can even play E4 taking full control of the center put the queen behind the bishop to make a battery and you can long castle and attack him fully with the H pong it will take you some time to get used to to it all but if you learn it nicely you can easily Farm a lot of Elo with it man someday I want to get really good at CH but everyone thinks I'm bad because I'm just a don't worry Pon you're very valuable in this game and if you want to
