When and how you can play the London System with Black

intermediate
Stjepan Tomic (Hanging Pawns)OpeningLondon system

The London Sytem is an opening you can play with both colors. Here is when, why, and how you can play it with the black pieces.

London System for Black

NOT possible against e4 or the Queen's Gambit

Possible against:
- Reti with b3
- English that transposes to a Reti
- King's Indian Attack
- Reverse Dutch
- Reverse Queen's Indian
- London System
- Nimzo-Larsen

The London System as part of your repertoire with black is best paired (in my opinion) with the Semi-Slav against d4, and the Caro-Kann against e4. The reason being that you'll basically always play the same pawn structure, making the plans, ideas and patterns similar in all three.
