The London System is a Queen's Pawn Opening that can be used as a common defensive strategy against black. It is an opening that can be played by chess players who don`t want to learn too much opening theory and this opening is not only played by beginners. Even Magnus Carlsen played it several times.

In this video, IM Andrey Ostrovskiy is sharing with you some of the major ideas and plans in the London System. The main focus of this video is on the basic ideas, strategies and plans for both sides in the different lines.

There are several possibilities to reach the London System. For example with the following move orders:

1.d4 d5 2.Nf3 Nf6 3.Bf4

or

1.Nf3 d5 2.d4 Nf6 3.Bf4

White builds up a rock-solid center and develops the bishop actively before playing e3 and c3. Afterwards white can develop his light-squared bishop and get castled.
