A complete White repertoire in the Accelerated London System (1.d4 & 2.Bf4): handling early ...Qb6 and ...c5 counterplay, ...Bd6 systems, the main lines, Nimzo/QGD structures, the King's Indian and Grünfeld, and the early ...Bf5.
Honestly, this one is a tough one. You won't win in 8 moves like some of the other openings. But if putting your queen out on the second move sounds interesting, this is the opening for you.
f7 is the whole story. Bc4 eyes it from move 5, Ng5 sets it up, and Nxf7 ends the game with a queen-and-rook fork. Trade two pawns for full development and the a1-h8 diagonal — if Black gets greedy grabbing pawns, they walk straight into it.
If you click this, you're gonna make a lot of enemies. People hate London players because the opening is so solid and Black can do pretty much nothing to counter.
