The London System is being played by an ever increasing number of
players, and its easy to see why. Against virtually every Black
defence after 1.d4 it offers White an easy-to-learn and reliable
set of lines. In the process, White has interesting choices between
strategic or more aggressive approaches, while avoiding loads of
opening theory. Ideal for players who dont have much time to study.
Creative elite players such as Alexander Grischuk, Baadur Jobava,
Richard Rapport and even World Champion Magnus Carlsen have the
London in their repertoire. Following the enormous success of The
Agile London System, the book he co-authored in 2016, Oscar de
Prado revisits his favourite opening. The general focus is less on
theory and has a more practical approach although he does present
recently played games and some important theoretical updates. De
Prado avoids long and complicated variations and concentrates on
explaining straightforward plans, clear-cut strategies and standard
manoeuvres. If you follow De Prados lessons you are unlikely to
face surprises or to emerge from the opening in a worse position,
and you will learn to make the right middlegame choices. Studying
this book is the most efficient way to acquaint yourself with a
flexible chess opening that is easy to learn and hard to counter.
