It was great video, I really want to find this, but what should I play, when my oponent will play Nf3 at third move

The problem is with many systems on youtube, it assumes that white won't play D4 Knight f3 Bishop F4. If we play 2...d5 the setup is gone, if we play 2...c5 play go back into the london, we may be committed to something beyond our typical D4 defense.

I think wasting time on Ne7 and Nb8 when they're awful moves which you're not recommending is really wasting time, especially as someone wants to get to the heart of the content. You can focus on what to do if White deviates, but beyond that it's just a total waste of time to discuss bad moves which you don't recommend and have it take more than half the video before you get to the point. This issue is compounded by a lot of repetitiveness. Being more direct and structured will help you a lot. Also, "3...d5 is the refutation of the Ponziani," no it isn't. The Ponziani is absolutely equal. There's no advantage for anyone. Just a lot of extremely complicated lines where anything can happen.

what about the move order with Nc3 first before the bishop comes to c5?

Good video of a simple and logical anti-London system. Worst that can happen is game transposes to a Benoni or Benko, where white wasted a tempo on useless Bf4.

Actually, after 1. d4 Nf6 2. Bf4 c5 3. c3 Qb6 White has a dangerous gambit after either 4. Nbd2 or 4. Nf3. This has to be covered before recommending Qb6. I'd rather just play 1. d4 Nf6 2. Bf4 c5 3. c3 e6 4. Nf3 b6 5. e3 Bb7 6. Nbd2 Be7 Black has a dynamic position and doesn't have to trade queens with a symmetrical pawn structure.

11:45 fork K and Q, Nc3+

What’s the name of the data visualization tool used to make this video?

Wow...this is the BEST setup so far I've seen agenst the Jobava... I've played some of these moves 45 years ago but I'm not a GM so I'm ALWAYS the STUDENT...EVER LEARNING...ONE CAN NEVER STOP LEARNING IN CHESS... fhanx man I LOVE YOUR DEFENCE AGENST THE JOBAVA...👍🏽

If any1 wondering this opening is called Agadmator's Anti-London System

You are talking but not moving

At 11:46 when white plays Ke2, why not black play Nc3+??

On 11:57 isn't taking the bishop a blunder or a mistake due to queen c2 (I know I'm late to this video but hope you respond im really trying to learn this)

Doesn’t white have promising compensation after 4. c4 (in the 3. e3 line), after black grabs on b2 and a1 (what else?)?

This video should be titled How to beat or draw the Vienna when white avoids the main lines 1. e4 e5 2. Nc3 Nf6 3. g3 1. e4 e5 2. Nc3 Nf6 3. f4 d5 4. fxe5 Nxe4 5. Nf3

21:14 Although it's a Benoni structure, it's actually a well-known theoretical position which usually arises from the Trompowsky attack. Namely 1.d4 Nf6 2.Bg5 c5 3.d5 Qb6 4.Nc3!? Qxb2 5.Bd2 Qb6 6.e4 d6 7.f4.

Love the diss on London players lol. Also, I was really surprised when you said we were already 20 minutes in. You are very entertaining!

Go blue hail to the victors

"cross" instead of saying "takes" or "captures" is something I've never heard of before, especially in my own notation I use a colon ":" not "x" for capture. Very weird.

Thank you so much! I've been looking for lines like this for a long time.

imagine i actually met nearly the exact scenario you've taught in 2 of my game like immediately after watching this is this rare?

Petition to call it the brexit variation

17:30 why can't white just play Nbd2, completely undermining the point of rook on the second rank?

In the first line, with e3, White should meet Qb6 with c4.

Why did he believe you? Ha ha!

Thanks!!

Subbed w notifications, this vid was super helpful and I’ll be watching ur old vids, hope you get a chance to come back soon

Great to hear how you think about chess

Thank u sir

Yes this is a student from the chess4life online camp, but I’ve really gotten into the grunfeld, but I’ve heard some positions are solved, can you show us these positions in detail if possible?

3.c3 from 08:40 to 20:20

At 15:38 you turn on the engine and it says that the position is dead even despite the fact that black is down TWO pieces. You go on to say that it's much "nicer" for black to play. I would disagree with that assessment at the amateur level. I'd much rather be white and be UP two pieces because I'll bet that black's "compensation" for being two pieces down is something only a computer could capitalize on. In a game between amateurs, in all likelihood, the player who is UP two pieces would eventually consolidate and then black would slowly start feeling the pain of being two pieces down. You then say that you think "most strong players" would prefer to be black. I'm not sure what you mean by "strong" but if two 1600s were playing that position, I bet that white would win a vast majority of the time.

The best anti-London teaching video I have seen-very complete but concise-Thank You!

Would you consider putting out any update to this video with the latest data?

Very interesting side line but as every youtuber coaching chess does, you also fail to mention the strongest variation for white. After 3.e3 Nd5 4. Bg3 Qb6 white has the move 5. c4! which is a very powerful counterattacking move. if you take Q:b2 white plays 6. cd5! Q:a1 7. Qc2! Your queen is trapped and white has an obvious advantage. Black can try 5... Nf6 and after 6Bd3! the position is maybe playable for black but he has to know a lot of forced variations to avoid getting a lost position. For example, after 6Bd3! black cannot take 6... Q:b2? as after 7. Ne2! Q:a1 8. Qd2! his queen again gets trapped and his position is worse.

This is a great antidote to the London. Do you have any tips if they play 2.Nf3 instead of Bf4?

It works

Great video! How to access the lichess database? thx

I dont even play chess but this was nice to watch 👍

Finally

Noice

Who says 'cross' instead of 'takes' ?? sounds all wrong.

This is really great, everyone plays the London now (not me) so this should help a ton.

Man can u get to the lines a bit faster. It’s too much frivolous chatter in between time for no reason. It’s no way I’m watching another one of ur videos. Im 6 minutes into ur video and I don’t even want to continue.

Great game! Nice calculation and fighting chess. Love to see it
