In recent years, The London System has exploded in popularity, and it's easy to see why:
• A rock-solid central structure
• Safe king and stable positions
• Straightforward plans—some surprisingly aggressive
• Minimal theoretical preparation required
No wonder so many club players and even top grandmasters have added it to their repertoire. But this familiarity can be used against the London player.
In this 60-minute course, IM Andrew Martin presents an unorthodox and powerful antidote—an idea first championed by French GM Chabanon and now adopted by several strong grandmasters. Instead of playing passively or falling into well-trodden paths, Black takes the London head-on—aiming to seize the initiative early and steer the game into unfamiliar waters.
This is your chance to surprise London System players and take them out of their comfort zone—right from the opening moves.
