When and how you can play the London System with Black
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.
