Not really, coz this doesn't involve any sorts of nasty tactic or cheap tricks rather it has a long term strategical idea on exploiting the b2 weakness. There are ways to avoid the line but this weakness is always present in the London.

@Abhishek-150

This isn't a trick opening against London which you can gambit in bullet and blitz games.. This is a proper anti-london setup with long term strategical planes which you can use in your classic games as well. Levy making video about this opening is like he's making video on how to beat Nimzo- Indian or some other great opening..

I appreciate you breaking down games. I hope you do more of this in the future. I always find your commentary insightful and enjoy hearing your opinions on their game play. Thank you

Let's go, baby. Here's to the first sponsor, I just saw your short clip of one viewer, you've come a long way, you should be proud.

Hey Eric, this is a seriously good video. I love when you analyse games like this! And congratulations on the sponsorship, what a great company to support!

Very instructive, Eric! Was happy to discover the Ke7-Ka4 idea at the prompt!

This great Eric, as always. Awesome explaining and great video. I didn't expect bishop sacrifice but awesome. Your so soothing and such a good teacher.

I'm learning the London as my first opening so this was really helpful and also I spotted 2 of the "find the move" things without pausing and I'm very proud of myself!

I love this kind of videos. Your explanation is so good! We definitely need more of these...

Really like this educational style of video, and appreciate the extra work that went into it. Thanks Eric.

Great analysis Eric! You always choose the most interesting games to show 🙌

Love the recap at the end, bringing it all together

the transition to ad from into was amazing. i love it.

Thank you for sharing this game, it was very enlightening. Love your videos, Eric!

Incredible video Eric! This was a very instructive presentation of a very great game

I must be getting used to ER, I saw the connect five before he mentioned it! Brilliant low-key analysis, love it...

I loved that intro to the sponsorship Eric, nicely done!

Very instructional. Excellent analysis and commentary. Thanks!

thanks for your videos! i enjoy watching your games/videos

This is the approach I've been using as a defense for quite a while. It just feels right for all the reasons you mentioned. Great commentary and analysis.

Excellent review. I play the London so this is instructive and insightfully so. Thanks!

Thank you so much, we need more and more of this stuff

Excellent game review! Thank you!

One thing to remember: Whenever thr the centre is closed, it's not necessary for you to castle, because your king would be completely safe in the centre.

This is exactly the Queenless endgame I go for against the London since I'm very familiar with it and easy to create a queenside passed pawn.

I love this style of content from you Eric!

Love this type of study, more of it please :)

Thanks for doing this video, really useful!

What's interesting is that literally two weeks before this video, I started playing an early c5 against the London to get the reversed QGD setup. My reasoning was that if white is going to play solidly but fairly passively, this setup gives decent attacking chances. Without seeing the video, I literally played this game, with Bf5 and Qb6, even including the Knight manoeuvre to attack the weak b2 pawn. After the light squared bishop trade and the defense of the pawn, however, I didn't play b4 over the board. I considered it but eventually didn't see the advantage because I saw the line with the white rook on the b file after I won the pawn and it didn't look too great to me. Sure, I liked my extra pawn but I preferred White's activity. In the end, I developed my bishop and castled, white started an attack on the king's side, I defended successfully and the game ended in a draw.

would love more videos like this, just games explained with ideas to play for both sides

Really enjoying these

You can never make enough of these videos. Thank you

Congrats on the sponsorship!

When I myself found the key move to undermine whites position by playing b4 I’d really wanna give props to GothamChess always referring to most forcing moves like checks, captures, attacks. That felt so good to be right :)

Fantastic commentary and the game is beautiful!

As a not very good player in chess, this is very educational and entertaining. Thank you and keep up the good work!

Loving The Art of Learning, thanks!

Thank you for sharing this

Very nice video! Thank you!

Awesome video Eric! I hope this style has a playlist. I would have checked that before writing this comment, but I'd be too lazy at that point to rewrite it.

Good video showing how to win as black after the queens are traded. I got caught in this line as white a few times before I discovered that white has 7) Nh4! instead of 7) Qb3? Once the black bishop is kicked off that diagonal (or traded on g6), white has the normal Qb3 with a slightly better game.

Very nice game. Thanks for sharing.

Pawn to b4! What an awesome move! Eric does a good job explaining moves!

Wow amazing play and idea

Congrats on the sponsor!

I rarely comment and there's so many already but I have to thank you for this video. I love your old lectures. This is just what I wanted.

'Beat the Eric Rosen Anti London system' - incoming

Thanks Eric, this video helped me with the London. It won a game against a GM in this line :)

what a useful game and commentary i really enjoy his video

Great game! Thank you!

I happened to stumble across Eric's LiChess study for this game last night. Probably right after the video was filmed. So, I missed out on the "pause the video" moments because I've already analyzed the game. But on the other hand I've got some extra insight into where white went wrong. According to stockfish White's Rc1 was the first mistake, although I'm not sure if I agree. The engine suggests h4 instead, but honestly many of the possible lines that follow are very similar to the actual game so it's not really a big improvement. Where white _really_ went wrong was when he castled. After black plays b4 white had to play Nb1. It's an "only move" situation. White is still on the defensive and slightly inferior, but everything holds unless somebody blunders later

I knew the pawn move and the tactic behind it, i feel sooo like a gm right now😂

Eric's voice is soooooo relaxing. I could listen for hours

Was able to find the b4 pawn push after being told there was a tactical move but not sure I would ever think to play it in my game.

great content!!!

What a brilliant game by black. And very nicely reviewed, thank you.

Hi Eric. I'm starting to slowly climb the ladder around 800 blitz and I'm constantly getting smashed by the London. This gives me hope :) All the best from Australia.

CONGRATS ON THE SPONSOOOOOOOR 🎊 🎉 🎊 🎉 🎊 🎉 🎊 👏 👏

This is a nice setup for Black. Sth to be mentioned is that White's main move is 6.Qb3 and not 6.Ngf3 to avoid this variation for Black. Thx for the video!

Great game!! (I had an audible credit and bought The Art of Learning) I typically play d4, Nf6, Bf4, c5 (to clear space for the Queen) but this game is brilliant. Do you think 2. c4 is a better move than c5?

I am a beginner at chess. 1 month of learning and my mind is blowing up. How many traps, tricks at openings, defenses you have to remember. Oh my goooooooooood!

I have a Question: Why exactly did White play a3 on move on move 9 rather than developing first with Be2 and 0-0. Was that necessary for some reason?

11:50 no, not "quadruple fork". You know what the correct name is, Eric.
