Chess World.net presents Opening System: The Killer Reversed Slav System

[MrBigcaptain]

This is the Torre Attack. If not, what is the difference? It is kin to the Collie and London Systems

[MrBigcaptain]

I enjoy your videos. I can learn some ideas from you. I have been studying at Chess Tactics Server and that is a great place to learn tactics. However, with your videos, I learn more about putting together a plan and not just looking for tactics. Thank you. I am a fan.

hi everyone. Kingscrusher you are deffinatly on a certian amount of new ground. Its not a recognised oppinning, i can't find it in either rybka or fritz, both recognise the london system. but i am assuming that alot of theory would be the same as the slav, just white will be playing as black with an extra tempo, giving slight advatage to white.

king can u do a vid on what system you use for fidning moves

[samirhossain]

can u plz do a series on the london system....and how to play it against KID structures and how to play it against d5 structures

[aelarath]

Nice

[bastymanguy]

King, you forgot to mention the other purpose of White Ne5 @ 4:37 which threatens a fork at D7.

This is called the London System. Soltis wrote a small book on it, and I've seen another in USCF's sales catalog. I've been playing it for years (though not so effectively).

[kingscrusher]

Yes kind of - but I thought the London system is with Bf4. However the triangle structure is key, and so it reminds me personally of a reversed slav formation.

[effingbastard]

True, the London System is played with 3. Bf4, but it does retain the triangular pawn structure. Even in this game, the bishop quickly returns to f4. I'm a Slav and Caro-Kann player; the only reason I took up the London was to avoid having to study a completely different repertoire for white.

Very interesting! It must have been a rush to beat someone that high rated. After watching this I am seriously considering taking up this opening. Can anyone recommend other instructive/theoretical games on this opening?

My friends are getting a little too comfortable (and prepared) against my Queens Gambit so it would be nice to play a casual 1. d4 and then completely throw them off on the next moves!!

[Immortalassassin1]

Fantastic game, I will have to give this system a try, I love the QGD opening, but I think this system is pretty solid as well :D thx for the vid and by the way I"m telling all my buddies on cheescube to check out ur vids, maybe after watching ur vids they'll actually have a chance of beating me :D
