  • From one of Magnus Carlsen's past Banter Blitz sessions he played this cool game where he dominated playing the London System. I reedited the clip with some background music to re-highlight this awesome tutorial how to win with the London system against high rated opponents. Here, with an aggressive pawn pushing strategy. Thanks for watching, liking, and supporting!

      it's not the london system. It's the jobava-london where you go for Nb5 and reroute it to a3 later on or go for a kingside expansion to justify putting the knight in front of the pawn if a6 is played. you can check out the theory; it's interesting. In one of Gothamchess' videos, he played a tournament using this opening. It's also a favorite of Hans nieman

    One of Black's blunders was first attacking with his bishop move to A6 before he castled. He needed to castle and get his king back behind protection; along with getting his roukes supporting each other. Plus, he allowed Carlsen to manuever so many of his pieces into position for attacking the king side while pushing his pawns forward. He needed to stop that by trading off pieces to blunt the attack and getting one of his knight positioned to defend that side. But, of course, that is much easier understood in restrospect compared to while it is happening.

Bb4 is probably better than 5
Be7; white typically responds with 6.Nge2 to avoid doubled pawns, and then after the bishop later gets kicked with a3, it retreats to e7, reaching positions similar to the game but the white knight on e2 is less optimally placed than on f3.
