The London System – Solid, Flexible, and Surprisingly Dangerous

A complete repertoire for White by IM Cyrus Lakdawala

Once seen as passive and unambitious, the London System (1.d4 Nf6 2.Nf3 3.Bf4) has become one of the most popular and reliable openings for White – from club players to World Champions like Magnus Carlsen.

Why the rise in popularity?
✅ It offers solid development and a clear plan
✅ It works against virtually any Black setup
✅ And it holds hidden attacking potential if Black missteps

In this book, IM Cyrus Lakdawala, one of America's most prolific chess authors and coaches, provides a complete repertoire for White using the London System.
His trademark question-and-answer format helps players grasp not just the moves, but also the strategic ideas behind them.

Perfect for players seeking a dependable and easy-to-learn opening without having to memorize tons of theory.
