      I like the London, it’s one of the best openings under 1000 alongside the Caro Kann as black, not much you have to learn plus good stable position with some development though the Advance Caro Kann is tough with the space disadvantage I think both are great below 1200 and worth learning for ANY 600-1200. Vienna and Ponziani are also top tier imo.

    For a moment i thought at 14:00 that line hangs a pawn because of dxc5 the bishop cannot take the pawn but i realized the bishops trade then the queen takes the pawn. This is probably why the knight goes to d7 and not c6 at 14:02.

    I noticed that when playing hxg3 instead of fxg3. It makes is considerably harder to your opponent to mate you in many positions i've encountered.

    My lesson I'm taking from this is take towards the center.

    I had a question about capture towards the center with pawns.. say if there was a knight on g3 and your king is castled but the f file would be an open file without your pawn there.. is it then maybe worth it to capture with the f pawn? Or what are the circumstances you should capture this way?
