Anti-London System (Download)

The London System, which for a long time had been the reputation of a rather harmless sideline, has developed into a very popular opening, and World Champion Magnus Carlsen is only one of many top players who plays it regularly. The London System indeed suits the modern approach to openings very well: White does not necessarily strive for an opening advantage but is content to develop his pieces and hopes to outplay his opponent in the middlegame.

However, the London System is more dangerous than it seems and if Black is not careful he can easily wind up in a bad position. Theory develops fast today, even in less concrete systems. On this DVD GM Yannick Pelletier offers Black a repertoire against the London System that you can employ no matter which opening you usually play against 1.d4 followed by 2.c4, whether systems with ...d5, systems with ...g6, the Queen’s Indian, Queen’s Gambit, Benoni, Benko, or Dutch. Thematic games explain and illustrate the theory and ideas of the repertoire Pelletier proposes. At the end of the Trainer you are invited to test your knowledge. The author pauses at key moments and asks you to find and to play the best move, after which he gives feedback. A database with carefully selected and annotated games helps you to understand and play the opening better and to counter the London System with success.

• Video running time: 4 h 50 min (English)
• Interactive training including video feedback
• Extra: Model Games with annotation by the author
• Including CB 14 Reader

    Anti-London, anti userfriendly

    Posted by Richard Rainsford Staples on Apr 30th 2019

    I've purchased chess base product before and call me strange but I expected the Anti-London DVD to have the same format as the older DVDs. I am speaking of a chess board and the instructor on the same screen rather than having a lecture by the instructor but not demonstrating his ideas graphically at the same time. While the material was good, having to click on a separate button to view the database was cumbersome. I won't be purchasing anymore of your products unless/until this issue is corrected; there are numerous other instructional products which combine visual demonstration and lecture simultaneously.

Customer Service Beyond Expectation

First of all, the chess set is beautiful. I gave it to my son two Christmases ago and he plays it constantly. He is very proud of it. So...when our dog captured the pawn and chewed it, my son was bummed. I contacted Chess Central and they said that they would work on it. I totally forgot about it and figured I'd never hear back. Today, guess what arrived in the mail? The black pawn! My son actually did a little jig. Thank you, ChessCentral.

This is by far the most impressive chess set I've ever seen!!

Now you have to know up front when buying online I generally look at the three star and lower reviews, so I ordered this set with a lot of skepticism, just sure something was going to be FUBAR,...... Boy was I wrong!! I got the set and carefully un-packed it and was just amazed. It is PERFECT!! Seems that all the every flaw that had been complained about in the three star and less reviews had been addressed by the manufacturer!! So being eager to show it off and being a good ole boy, I invite my buddies over and we all set out on the porch {now that the weather is finally getting nice out} and play from noon until sunset. I enjoy all the compliments this beautiful the set gets, and everyone loves to play on it!!

I've shopped at ChessCentral three times now, and twice I've had questions about a particular product. I don't know much about chess software. Anyway, I was shocked to receive detailed answers later that same day! I mean, who does that? Shipping was fast and well packaged. All in all, a great chess website.
