• Avoiding a certain black setup: You effectively prevent the dangerous combination of c5 and Qb6.
• Risks for Black in the Bf5 variation: The popular Bf5 variation poses significant dangers for Black and can give the game an unexpected turn.

Creativity and novelties at the highest level:
The Neo-London System offers many new, creative possibilities to present your opponents with serious problems in the early stages of the game. Surprise your opponents with positions not yet thoroughly explored and refined by modern AI engines. The course provides numerous novelties and ideas and is significantly sharper, more forceful and more unpredictable than its predecessor.

60m English Anti-Bayonet

King’s Indian fans who choose the Mar del Plata attack (7...Nc6) against White’s classical system (1.d4 Nf6 2.c4 g6 3.Nc3 Bg7 4.e4 d6 5.Nf3 0-0 6.Be2 e5 7.0-0) usually aim for a complex position with mutual attacks on open wings, requiring long-term strategic planning and tactical sharpness in critical moments. Computers often do not know how to handle the arising complex strategic positions, which suits players who like to think on their own instead of memorizing long variations. However, the fashionable Bayonet Attack (9.b4) interferes with Black’s ideas. After Black’s main move 9...Nh5 the positions opens, the lines get forced and computer analysis is important again. But this DVD offers an antidote against White’s Bayonet Attack, namely 9...a5! This move leads to sound positions with very few concrete lines, in which the focus is on strategy not on tactics. Objectively chances are equal but if Black knows what to do things might quickly become dangerous for White.
