The player with the most games (187) is Gata Kamsky. But World Champion Magnus Carlsen is also a fan of the London System – he has 45 games in the database. Replaying the games of the greatest devotees of this system will bring a lot of rewards. Also notable are, for example, the games by Nikola Sedlak and Ferenc Berkes.

London System Powerbook 2019The completely new Powerbook London System 2019 is based on games which start in different ways and belong to different ECO codes, but where in each case White plays d4 and Bf4 and also does without c4. This way of starting the game has long since cast off its image as purely an opening for amateurs; world class players such as Carlsen, So, Kramnik, Grischuk, Vachier-Lagrave, Aronian and Karjakin play the opening with both colours. The basis for the Powerbook consists of 205 000 engine games as well as 11 800 games from Mega 2019 + Correspondence Database 2018.

The games from which the Fritz Powerbook 2019 were derived are also included on the DVD.
