Discover the Neo-London System – a creative and improved version of the classic London System! With the move 3.c3 and later Bf4, the Neo-London offers two decisive advantages:
• Avoiding a certain black setup: You effectively prevent the dangerous combination of c5 and Qb6.
• Risks for Black in the Bf5 variation: The popular Bf5 variation poses significant dangers for Black and can give the game an unexpected turn.
Creativity and novelties at the highest level:
The Neo-London System offers many new, creative possibilities to present your opponents with serious problems in the early stages of the game. Surprise your opponents with positions not yet thoroughly explored and refined by modern AI engines. The course provides numerous novelties and ideas and is significantly sharper, more forceful and more unpredictable than its predecessor.

The Queen’s Pawn games are a series of openings in which, after 1.d4 d5, White does without the advance c2-c4 in the early stages of the game or even completely. This may mean less pressure being put on Black’s position, but in return White is mostly able to deploy his forces without disruption. One very popular system, above all among amateurs, is, e. g., the rapid development of the Nf3 and Bf4, the London System. White’s setup is apparently simple: e3, Bd3, Nbd2 and c3 are meant to follow. If necessary, h3 will create a retreat square on h2 for the Bf4, so as to be able to avoid a threatened exchange after ...Nh5. An additional attraction of White’s setup is that it can be employed not only after 1.d4 d5, but against almost all black setups after 1.d4.
