We are thrilled to introduce another exceptional project by GM Michael Roiz – Fighting the London System. This course is part of a comprehensive series aimed at covering all White's sidelines after 1.d4 Nf6. The second installment of the project will focus on the Trompowsky Attack and other alternatives to 2.c4, providing a complete repertoire for Black.

Nowadays, nobody considers the London System to be an offbeat opening. It can be seen on all levels - from amateur players to the World Champion Magnus Carlsen. What makes this opening so attractive?
There are two major advantages that make London so popular:
1) White's concept is based on a solid positional foundation
2) You do not need tons of computer analysis to play it since understanding is what matters
In this database, the Indian Grandmaster Abhijeet Gupta build a practical London repertoire for White. Besides the theoretical chapters, this database has Video Version, Memory Booster and Computer Practice.

In this course (based on a group lecture), GM Boris Avrukh builds a reliable and ambitious repertoire for Black against the London System. The foundation of his approach are the setups with ...g7-g6.
True to his style, Avrukh provides many new and less explored ideas, thus tremendously increasing the practical value of the suggested repertoire.
The material is divided into 2 parts - a video lecture with a running time of approx.1h and 40 min and 4 theoretical chapters.

The Trompovsky Attack and especially the London System have become quite popular openings in recent years. This should not come as a surprise. In our computer age, when most of the forced lines lead to a drawn outcome, top chess players began to look for ways to play for a win in less studied and forced openings. Veresov Attack is also an interesting try to reach fresh and unexplored positions. It can be quite dangerous if you are not prepared. GM Pavel Eljanov proposes a universal way to deal with these openings. In his concept, the main idea is to fight for the center as well as to limit the activity of White's bishops through exchanges or the threat of exchanges (and we know that the threat is often stronger than its execution).
The repertoire is based on solid positional grounds and the author is trying to offer similar setups against all three openings.
