Here's why many hate facing the London System · Training Game
The London System may be simple to learn, but it's also extremely powerful and hard to play against if black doesn't respond perfectly. In the right hands, the London becomes a weapon that causes weaknesses, misplaces pieces and starts mating attacks before the middlegame even starts. I love it. It's not my main repertoire anymore but I enjoy playing it because the positions I get are seldom boring and simple.
