hey! nice video thanks. Crazy how you can destroy some high rated players in the first 10/20 moves with the london that is supposed to be boring. Can't wait for a slow speedrun :) i would love you to have more time to really break down your thinking process in depth at every move specially in the opening and middle game. I don't have good memory of exact lines / move orders, but ideas and thinking process is easier to remember for me. Cheers!
@@AlexBanzea Hey Alex. I would really love longer games if possible, i think 15+0 is perfect. And really take your time in the opening and early middle game to really break down the position, the possible moves etc. For me the model of pedagogic speedrun is daniel naroditsky, because at every move he takes time to explain what the opponent is threatening, what are the different moves in this position, how to make a plan etc. And he only do one game per video so i think it's easier to not be overwhelmed by too many ideas at the same time and really understand the game he just played. 5+0 would still be very fast for me. I play 30+0 games and sometimes i still get in time trouble lol. Have a nice day man.

Thank you very much for another great video on the London System. Each time, I am amazed how fast you find candidate moves and how fast you calculate moves. Should I do 10 chess problems per day to improve my calculations? Maybe you can provide your suggestions/recommandations on this.
Thanks a lot! Puzzles are definitely helpful. The more the better, there is no magic number! As for candidate moves, it’s more about knowing the plans I think.
That first game had nice sacrifice tactics vs. b5 trying to close position. But even crazier complications with Nh4 after f6 and there is a whole list of absolutetely dirty engine lines with temporary sacrifices and all sorts of madness.
hi, it would be nice if you make a video one day about black playing the slav setup but with an early bd6 before we could get the ideal endgame with qb3 qb6 c5 , this is a common line online and hikaru plays it a lot but there arent really any books that cover it
example line d4 d5 nf3 nf6 bf4 bf5 e3 e6 c4 bd6! if we play the standard bg3 then 0-0 and qb3 ideas arent so strong as black has ideas of taking on g3 and then placing the queen on e7/c7 instead of b6
its possible you instead suggest 4.c4 instead and then e6 qb3 to avoid this but black has some tricky independent lines like dxc4 (played by magnus giri and mamedyarov) and nc6
@@mossps8884 that is a good line for black. I’m thinking to switch playing the simple Bd3 approach instead of c4 and if black takes on d3 to take back with the c-pawn.
Excellent series master, would be instructive too games in 10 min., the idea is opponent have more time to think a better move and have London in action with more accurated games, thanks!.
That 2100 German guys Queen play is one of the most annoying plays. There is no defined target, just punishing you if you make any mistake by unleashing devastation under your pieces.

18:22 lol that bishop is a sniper, can’t believe opponent didn’t see it TWICE!

Hey! Thanks a lot. I’m thinking to do 5+0 for the next speedrun. How does that sound to you?

couldnt agree more!
Great content Alex! As a London player myself, I am enjoying this speed run and learning a lot.
Thanks a lot! I’m really glad it helps.

Thanks a lot sir!
This is golden. Thank you so much. Best wishes for your channel and your well being.
Thanks a lot! Welcome🥂
Love the content as always
I’ve only watched a few of these tuns if yours and my game is already improving. Your style is so dynamic!
Glad to help!
These videos are hands down the best London System analysis on UA-cam. Way better than most GM instructors.
Thanks a lot sir!
Thank you. Will have to go back to your earlier tutorials on London opening.
Thank you! Some of them are actually quite useful I think!

It would be great if you can add link you are talking about direct to video.
That’s right. I will do that!

Yeah, it wasn’t very standard. Black is not supposed to push pawns on the queenside in that line.

19:43 I think he got a completely fine position here in the game... if he played something else 😅
You get the point haha
