Anti-London | Finding (and Missing) Some Tactics
My opponent played the London System against me with a pretty odd move order that I haven't seen before. Plus it was a Jobava. It almost got me, but my spidey senses were tingling and I played my normal anti-London moves, thank goodness!
There were some cool tactics throughout the game, some of which I missed, particularly in the early game.
1. On move 7 at 3:10 I'm worried about Black taking my knight and removing the defender of my d-pawn. Check my math on this one and see why I'm wrong... assume bishop takes knight like I was worried about, then queen takes bishop. Why is Nxd5 not scary? It's hard to fully calculate but the first couple of moves are not too bad!
2. On move 14 at 8:21 I want to attack my opponent's advanced g-pawn. This is my worst move of the game, in my opinion... even though it doesn't change the eval too much my plan is a one move blunder. See if you can the right way to deal with that pawn.
3. On move 21 at 11:55 my opponent makes what may be his biggest blunder. I give him a check, and he picks the worst way of getting out of check. What was the best move for White? (I missed it back on move 20 when I was planning this thing.)
It was a fun game... actually it's always fun to beat the London haha.
I hope you enjoy, and I'll see you next time!
