Why bother learning hundreds of complex variations when you can play a simple yet deadly opening — the London System with 2.Bf4. Over the last couple of years nearly all the world’s elite grandmasters have been employing the London System, and on this DVD Simon Williams shows what we can learn from their practice. The “Ginger GM“ takes a look at all the latest developments whilst teaching you all the basics that you need to know in order to play this opening with success. Following his first bestseller on the London System, Williams‘ new work not only updates previous analyses but is also packed with new and original ideas which can be used even at the highest level — a must for players who want results, yet do not have much time on their hands.

If you’re not a practitioner of the London System yet, in fact the only question remains: “Why Not?”

Simon Williams: Tactic Toolbox London System

The London System is becoming increasingly popular, both at grandmaster and club level. The theory of the opening is developing quickly, with new things being tested all the time. This, in return, gives rises to fresh tactical ideas which should belong to the basic arsenal of any London devotee – after all, tactics remains the be-all and end-all of the game.

On this DVD, Simon Williams shows all the complications in the London System one has to know as White, giving you the tactical tools for a successful practice — anyone who knows the typical motifs has an advantage over the board. Using the interactice Fritztrainer format which invites the viewer to answer questions by entering the moves on the screen, the “Ginger GM“, intensively and systematically, makes your familiar with a multitude of typical tactical finesses in positions of the London System. Of course, also those can profit from the exercises who don’t have this opening in their repertoire (yet) — after all, a sharp combinatorial vision is always useful in chess.
