Last week we had a look at the first game of the match between Tan Zhongyi and Lei Tingjie. Their fifth game is at least as spectacular and also deserves a closer study. Black came up with a highly ambitious approach to tackle the Zukertort-Colle System. Aggressive pawn play, subtle positional manouevring and precise calculation brought Tingjie Lei a fully deserved ticket for the World Championship match.

60m The London System

If you are looking for a new attacking plan against the popular Queen’s Gambit, then this download is for you. Completely new ideas after 1.d4 d5 2.Bf4 turn the solid London system into a serious weapon. New approaches and Fritz analyses will catch out an unprepared opponent. Henrik Danielsen used this system to win the Icelandic blitz championship in 2011. Some strong GMs and IMs didn't realise the danger before it was too late. Even after Black’s best defence White will be able to fight for an advantage. After watching 60 minutes you have a total opening plan against the Queen’s Gambit.

Robert only says "not the strongest move" for black' [move 12] but declines to elaborate in that direction at all, giving only better lines for white. Great analysis and entertaining, for white, if inconclusive, as I play The Caro Kann. A common happening, with opening coaching, I think. Not exactly giving any full picture, for the benefit of the excitement. But if you don't have your own powerful resources, then one can become swayed, one way or another, pretty falsely.
