The London System: Essentials (Black Repertoire)

By Theo van Stratum

A Black repertoire against the London System (1.d4 followed by an early Bf4). Covers the classical ...c5/...Nc6/...Bg4 set-up, a King's Indian-style ...g6 fianchetto that meets the bishop with a central ...e5 break, the well-known ...Qb6 trick that harasses b2 before White can tuck the queen's knight away, and a simple mirror plan with an early ...Bf5 of Black's own.
