Against virtually every Black defence after 1.d4 it offers White an easy-to-learn and reliable set of lines with interesting choices between strategic or more aggressive approaches, while avoiding tons of opening theory. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eLately an increasing number of Grandmasters such as Alexander Grischuk, Gata Kamsky, Baadur Jobava, Richard Rapport and even World Champion Magnus Carlsen have played The London System. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn this light it is surprising that so little has been published about this fascinating universal weapon. GM Alfonso Romero and FM Oscar de Prado have now filled this gap. In The Agile London System they present both historical material and recent top-level examples to provide a comprehensive overview. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe authors explain the typical plans and tactics using illustrative games with clear verbal explanations, and provide lots of tactical and strategic exercises. They reveal the secrets behind sharp ideas such as the Barry Attack and the Jobava Attack and have added an exciting chapter on the especially aggressive Pereyra Attack, developed by the Argentinean master Manuel Pereyra Puebla.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Alfonso Holmes, Oscar De Prado\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 9056916890\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9789056916893\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e New in Chess\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/01\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 336\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.35lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.20h x 6.70w x 0.90d","brand":"Alfonso Holmes","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44048233365759,"sku":"9789056916893","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_74e3a4d7-affd-44c1-8f46-fe512c7deda8.jpg?v=1684994637","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-agile-london-system-alfonso-romero-holmes-9789056916893","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
