In this video I have covered the main lines of the London system which arise after black meets d4 with 1...d5, the classical approach.

I have covered all the variations starting with 2.Bf4 instead of Nf3, because they are simpler to play, and give white a distinct edge in some variations when compared to Nf3.

The video is divided into two parts, the basics, in which I go over all the options for black, and how white should adjust to each one and play against each, and part two, in which I have covered the main line of the London System against d5 setups, starting with the move 2...Nf6.

In the second part I have gone into detail of two of black’s main choices, Bf5 or e6 on move 5, and have attempted to explain how important the difference between them is, and how white should approach each move.
