Some extra tips: Watch out for black’s e5 pawn push to force your bishop away from f4, and then e4 to fork your knight and bishop on f3 and d3. So make sure black can never successfully make that e5, e4 pawn push. They usually play Re8, Qe7, d6, Nc6, and Bd6 to allow them to push their e pawn. If you want to avoid this, just put your light-square bishop on e2 instead of d3, or make sure to take the e5 black pawn with your d4 pawn. Put your Queen on c2 if your bishop is on d3 and instead of castling kingside, wait to see what your opponent will do. I played the London exclusively from 1100 to 1650, and waiting, then deciding queenside or kingside castling allows for some enjoyable games and tactics and sacrifices on the kingside. Queenside castling allows you to attack their kingside-castled king a lot easier and more enjoyably, but it also makes your king more vulnerable to their queenside attack. Your aim in the London is to develop, castle, then stick a knight on e5. Your knight on e5 is very strong. Black will often have the following setup, especially at 900 to 1300 elo: Nc6, Nf6, Bd6. Here, you can usually play Ne5 (as long as there is no white bishop on g5, pinning your knight to your Queen. With a bishop on e2 this doesn’t matter), and if they take with their c6 knight, you can fork their bishop and knight with dxe5. If they take with the bishop, the same dxe5 forces their f6 knight away from defending the g4 square, which often has a black bishop on, which you can take with your light square bishop on e2 if they play incorrectly and move their knight first, before trading light square bishops. After their knight moves from f6, usually to d7, you can play either f4 or Nf3, depending on whether your bishop is on g3 or f4. After this, you have a partially open d file, which you can place your queenside rook on, either by just moving it, or castling queenside if you’re feeling bold. This lines up your rook and their queen on the same file. You can then push e4 or c4 to open up the e file. And of course, not castling at all is an option. Never think you HAVE to castle. The London is flexible. When I played the London, I castled kingside 60% of the time, queenside 30%, and not at all 10%.

You can't really play any openings on enemies with low elo because they usually do the dumbest moves or refuse to give up pieces so any move you make will result in trading a piece or opening up your defense. At least in my experience.

its tough because with openings like this, the london system, the moves from 500-1500 tend to be exactly the same however with more complex theories like the indian, the sicilian, the english, etc. theres so much theory behind different openings with those

If you play the E3 before you let your bishop out, then that's the Colle System.

I'm a beginner, and this has probably helped me the most. Thank you.

the London system where you agree to play like black with the white pieces completely giving up your first move advantage. immediate equality

Yes pawn to d4 is always the best opening

I move queens pawn, opponent move King’s pawn, i roast Levy

Absolute favourite opening

This is my favorite system because you can easily capture their pieces while protecting yours.

Remember when this guy used this opening and lost in like 5 seconds?

the pyramid is named london.... guess they found a way to bring it back to the museum after all

I call that pyramid the wizard tower

I recognized this! A year ago, I was telling myself, "I don't want to dwell on openings and defenses, memorizing names and moves." I still don't want to get caught up in knowing all these different approaches. Yet, having been introduced to a few systems to this point, I see the value of grasping a system that appeals to me so I can conduct a decent opening and start to "play chess." You can tell I'm not at the Intermediate level yet - but I'm working on it!

When my opponent saw my pyramid they resigned LOL.

A pyramid and a castle? Now that's a powerful kingdom
