Pretoria, South Africa, I'm 74, retired, and my wife died 2 years ago. Started playing chess against my computer a few months ago as an antidote to boredom.

I watched this video when I was first learning chess and trying to improve. I played the London from about ~400 to 1200. I then switched to almost exclusively the Jobava London. I'm now just over 1700 and I'm finding myself coming back to check out the regular London. I've never felt I understood the concepts Levy taught in this video better than I do now. Thank you Levy

Levy, I've spent all day studying both your London system videos as well as Eric's video about the London traps and it's really rewarding to watch your opponent's moves and adapt the opening to counter their moves. I'm a low rated player and haven't really had the knack of planning a couple moves ahead but playing the London system has proved to fix that issue. It's a lot of fun when you can identify the threats and adapt your game to them and it's all thanks to how simply you explain it. Thanks a lot!

Watching from the Hospital in York, England. The morphine hasn't proven to be great for the old rating but thanks for the great content

69 yo guy with cancer taking up chess again since my teenage years! I have enjoyed watching your videos for the past several months over our Maine winter. I am a big read of chess books and magazines over the years. I enjoy your pacing often and your style. I am settled in on learning the London system. I am going to review videos here and if you have anything on chessable….do you recommend any good books or reading on the London? Keep up the good work and thanks for sharing with older folks on limited income or illness that can keep us a home and inside more than most/ via Maine USA

Haven’t played in almost 30 years. Started back up and found Levy. Fantastic teaching style. Just figuring out I really never had a good understanding of the game. Age and experience makes a difference. And now I’m using Levy to actually help me be a decent player. Thanks for that! Love the game more than ever.

I'm a 1900 player, never really bothered to learn the london, i'd picked it up as an alternative to the queens gambit when it doesnt work out for me, i like to have my bishop out before closing the position to support the D4 pawn . However I've gained about 60, 70 rating points playing this. It's made a big difference to my game so far.

Tbh that rook sacrifice idea vs the Kings Indian has been one of the most usefull tricks ive learned in the past couple months. I have won many games with it, its amazing how many people fall for it. Thanks Levy!

Bangladesh, Dhaka.Thanks for such a great elaboration about the london system in just 10 minutes.Currently watching this for the 20th time ! Finally my dumb adhd brain could comprehend all these information . Finally have an opening setup to begin with . Currently at 298 elo . let's see how far i can go with this .

[MrLTactics]

I tried your strategy with the H-pawn push and captured the knight with my rook today, and it worked like a charm! Little chance for the opponent, ending in check mate very soon after :) Great content like always!

[darakdelasombra]

i must be the worst student, as soon as i play Bf4 i immediately forget everything you said :(

[liammcleod]

after watching this many times i must say, i still cant remember what to do

Watching this man has raised me 250 points higher on rapid Chess. Less mistakes, better defense and aggressive attacks. Checkmating people faster. Managing clock better.

Watch 100 times. Go play and forget everything. Go back to watch 100 times again. Am I the only one?
