Dear Kamryn, like your video and now a subscriber could you show the actual prices moving on the board as it will benefit me and new players in what is happening. ( to busy looking at the other pieces on the board at the same time) all the best

We do 800s look so bad

One of Kamryn’s strengths is that she has retained an awareness of how she thought and envisioned the board at a much earlier stage. Many of the higher level teachers have lost that connection and blaze through with excellent, but hard to follow stratagems. I really appreciate her approach.

You make me feel like I could beat a 1500 with a few tweaks to my London system opening. I'm an 800 so I will get destroyed. But, you make me want to play chess and improve with your concise explanations. Can't ask for more 🙂

I'm 1100 I play London with white so this is completely doable, I'm lazy and obsessive so I play only London with white and French with black

Don't! Becoz sometime you delayed a move and that screws up the whole purpose of the London System.

play e4 you should be working on tactics on your level. Don't avoid them

The presentation is very clear and so interesting to see a strong player looking back and critiquing their games. I found this educational and inspirational. Thanks for sharing.

Thank you for your welcoming approach and knowledge sharing! Much appreciated. You deserve a bigger audience. Keep going!

Your videos are great - so helpful in trying understand how to use the London beyond just knowing the basics

Hello Kamryn,I enjoyed your video and I look forward to part 2.Thankyou for teaching me

This channel will be huge. Very instructive. Subbed.

Very helpful. Thanks. Looking forward to part two

Just made it to 1000 elo for the first time using the London! Thank you for your videos, you inspire me to be a better chess player at 21!

Very helpful. A part two would be excellent. 👍

You're a great explainer, thank you 🎉

Great video !! Thanks , I'm also learning the London and is so nice to see such an array of possibilities!

I'm glad you mentioned not moving the same piece twice in the opening. This is how I was taught to play many years ago and you are about the only chess channel that I've seen that emphasizes this rule. This fits into the whole idea of tempos, which is another bullet point for beginners. I knew nothing about these concepts when learning the game back in grade school but when I got to high school I had an English teacher who was a 1700 (which was a big deal back then) and he taught me quite a bit about these fundamentals. So thanks for this.

Most do as it's a principle. Others might not mention it because they go into more detail and include the exceptions if you know an opening well enough that involves this. Probably others don't mention it all the time as they're focused on opening lines.

You get the points across really well....and it flows beautifully...Not boring, terrific amount of info in such a brief time!? I just love the London Opening and it’s relaxing complexity....Thanks a lot. Regards

This is the best explanation of the London I’ve ever seen.. Thankyou Kamryn! I’d love to see a similar video with your strategy to play against the London. Bravo

You're a good teacher. Enjoy your content

Love your honesty! You're a wonderful chess instructor and player! THANK YOU!!😇

Thanks so much, Kamryn - this has been really useful to help me up my game! 👍 And, Yes, a Part 2 from 1500 up would be a really interesting video to study too! 🙏

It’s been quite a while since I watched a YT video through to the end. Thanks for the thought and effort you put into making this one. I’m just starting the London and look forward to playing it!

Thanks for the tips! I’ve just started playing around with the London recently and this was super useful!

Do you play against computer or do you have an opponent?

I watched so many videos about London system and yours is absolutely the best! Thanks a lot!

would love to see your progress in other openings too! great vid :)

This was low-key one of the best instructional videos on KZread with the london system. Your analysis was really helpful for someone in the 1300's (me). Hahah. Thank you!

Thanks Kamryn. Your explanations are very helpful 👍

Very eloquent thanks for the explanations

this was a really great change of pace for chess videos. I loved it

No lie. That third game got me nervous with the opening aggression and made me realise that this happens a lot in my own games and I probably just need to relax a bit more. Because when I feel threatened like that I typically make bad decisions!

Really good video, Tx, London is my favorite opening;)

Very good tutorial, thank you very much! I will watch more of your series!

Good job on explaining your situation and how to improve . Love it !

Wow, this is gold right here watching games from different ratings is so insightful, good job you earned a subscriber

This was incredibly helpful!

One of the clearest descriptions of the logic including options not taken. Good job.

What great and honest feed back on tactics from someone that in the trenches with this opening. I love it !!! Thank you!!! I also play the london and these tactics are hard to spot but i know they are there. And you show that in a simple way!!! Thank you 🙏

Great instructions. I’m inspired to try to use the London. I’m a beginner, so this video really helps; very useful and clear teaching.

Awesome explanation! Thanks!

Great video thank you! Only started playing yesterday. Your explanations are very easy to understand i appreciate that as someone who is looking to understand the "whys" of each move. Of all the channels i have checked out yours is definitely the most informative and easiest to follow. Will definitely be checking out all your videos!! Thanks again!

As a london main this video was very helpful!

It´s great to have an explanation which is not going into so many sidelines. Thank you very much for your detailled downbreak of your thoughtprocess.

Watched your video and played my first game with real confidence (800 player playing for a couple months). Thank you!

A few weeks into chess. This is the only video that actually helped me understand the London System as a beginner thank you.

Wow so your 2000 now , very cool, yeah i would love to see part two

Thank you so much. Your Videos make the Most Sense for me. It s so clear

thanks for the really clear presentation, not gonna lie this actually taught me more, more quickly, than many of the most popular chess tutors. you have my sub :)

Thanks for this video. I’ve been playing the London for a month or so and it’s good to see games around my rating.

Being new to chess thinking, these lessons are extremely informative and helpful. Thanks.

Love your vids! Keep it up!

I very much appreciate your presentation style - it's fluid and easy to follow. I feel like some good chess players mainly present to beckon from the top while you present to actually give a hand to help others - that's an awesome attitude!

Very helpful video. You have good style. Please keep up the content

Really helpful Kamryn, thanks so much for sharing your experience. I would love to see another video like this one, liked, commented and subscribed

Very informative. Thank you

Very well explained. Thanks.

LOVE THIS !!! SUGGESTION!!! Perhaps some live streams with you playing the london and commentating as you play.

Love to see you doing another video of the effort and new strategies developed that took you to the magic 2K level. Much Appreciated

Thank you for this great work The explanation is simple and clear

Great video, appreciate your insight and personal critique.

Honestly, the best explanation of the London opening so far! Thanks Heaps

That’s great, I’m a London player also and part two is a great idea

Cringe London players

Thank you!!! I started playing chess thanks to your improvement journey video, such a fun game! Even though i’m now at 300, I’m really enjoying learning more about chess. Thanks 😊

Thanks for sharing. I'm a London player and did learn a few things just now. Good vibes

That was great, Kamryn. Thanks very much. I wish I could have evolved my game, but I seem to have got stuck at a particular (low) level years ago, so I appreciate your insights here - I think they will help my game.

Great video, thanks a lot!

Excellent coaching!

This is the first video ive seen of yours. I'm subbed. I love the pacing. Some chesstubers are extremely fast, with pre recorded board setups and they are chasing their tail keeping the voiceover/shot to camera in time and making it look live.. This is great, very concise and easy to understand.

Very underrated video I Actually am starting to understand it better great explanation

Very useful, thanks.

Wow, great video. Would love to see something for black as well. Thanks for the London examples and more important sharing your thought process

Really needed this, I've been studying fried liver lines and initially I was enjoying myself but have hit a wall, inspiring video to get me exploring the London. Hope to make your stream, you've really brought a lot of refreshing chess content and you're fantastic at conveying your thoughts - I hope this shines during the stream!

Yeah fried liver used to be my favorite as a beginner but around mid 1100 is when I noticed people started to counter it or just totally avoid it, The scotch is a great replacement for fried liver it has helped me raise my rating and personal best recently so I definitely recommend it.

The London system and Caro Kan got me to 1500 rapid. Currently learning the vienna😅

Thank you for this video. Love it.

Keep doing more London!

Thanks so much. Just played this for the first time at ~900 and it's the change I've been needing. Definitely going to learn a lot from using a real opening lol, cheers.

Just wanted to let you know you are a wonderful teacher. I'm learning the London and I've watched about a dozen different videos and this is by far the most coherent...especially for a no0b like me. Thanks!

Thx for the lessons!

Very good educational video for me. Thumbs up and thank you!

Thanks, very useful.

Thank you for the video. I feel this is a lot more applicable for

You are absolutely right!

This was very helpful

Nicely explained.

you're very good at explaining

Ty great lesson

Thx, I learned a lot ❤

Yes please part 2 Kamryn.

Thank you, I watched this last night and what fun it was playing the London system today. I beat a player 1000 ELO (I'm only 500). Great video. Such fun watching the system work like clockwork.

You are an inspiration, not a lot of people could advanced from 800 to 1500 that quickly and especially as an adult!

(New subscriber)-I enjoyed your video, it really was well explained-Ihope to see more.

Love it. Part 2 pls

I've just discovered your videos and I'm very impressed with your very clear analysis and humble approach to chess. I will make a point of watching the rest of your stuff. with regard to this video, i've been a long term player of the (sometimes maligned Colle System, the older brother of the London which keeps the bishop within the pawn chain as you probably know. I may start giving the London a whirl though, after listening to your video, as there are a lot of similar positions with the Colle and the bishop on the outside may make things a bit sharper. Well done, anyway.

Part two, please. As someone who plays the London, I would love to see it! Thank you!

Yes, please make a part two! 😃🌷♟

Woman of culture

Thank you ❤

Great content

Great video and explanations. I really like the London. I'm around 800, and the more I play chess, the more I realize why it's so good. The knight and dark square bishop are so powerful at controlling the e5 square. (with added benefit of the dark square bishop easily moving to g5 protected by the knight if there's an opportunity to attack the queen). The pyramid pawn structure is great and opens up the queen and light square bishop to the queen side, and they can also easily line up on the a4 diagonal against the king.

I'm completely new to chess at the age of 50. I am going to practice with the London opening and do what you did. I was getting so overwhelmed I think with the never ending amount of openings that I couldn't cope! Thanks for the advise.

Never really played chess (I have no ranking), but you are a really good teacher. Subbed just in case I start playing. Cheers!

"A poisoned pawn" ok now you've got my attention

Great video part 2 please
