Be prepared for the Morris Countergambit! · Training Game
The Morris Countergambit is a very scary weapon in London Player's arsenal, and it can lead to very interesting attacking positions for white if black doesn't know it. It gives white a big lead in development and a scary initiative. I knew some basic ideas, and where my pieces should go but I didn't know theory. You have to be well prepared for this gambit since many London System players play it.
