Demolish The London System by FM Viktor Neustroev

FM Neustroev has an impressive 60% win rate against the London – and just 15% loss rate. Stats like these in any opening are rare, but with the dynamite inside this course, you’ll soon see how it’s possible – and how to get similar results on your own!

In this repertoire, which is a mix of FM Neustroev’s own home cooking and some of the freshest ideas from leading grandmasters, you’ll learn how to:

💥 Amp up the pressure early on and stick with it. Upon 1.d4 d5 2. Bf4, you’ll immediately go for a 2…c5 pawn break, pressurizing White’s center right away. You’ll also go on to target the weak b2 square left behind by White’s London bishop – attacking two weaknesses early on

💥 Take advantage of move order nuances. London System players often develop their pieces on autopilot for the same setup each time. Learn how to jolt them awake by adjusting your attacking plans to their development scheme

💥 Play fearlessly against the Jobava London System and sidelines. If White opts for the popular Jobava Attack with an early Nc3, you’ll be covered. Plus, learn to handle early e4 and c4 sidelines and other oddities you might come across in blitz and rapid

💥 Carry your opening momentum into the middlegame and beyond. FM Neustroev is careful to mention the follow-up plans in each line, and with a dedicated model games chapter, you can see the plans carried out to victory

And that’s not to mention the over thirteen and a half hours of video instruction, where you’ll get detailed walkthroughs by the pro coach himself. FM Neustroev has a reputation for his club player-friendly explanations and accessible teaching style, and with the London system being so commonly played, you definitely want to make sure you know what you’re doing!
