The London System: Essential Theory

IM John Bartholomew is back with a new opening course! This time collaborating with our own FM Daniel Barrish - the man behind the Short & Sweet series - to bring you a brilliant new repertoire.

The London System: Essential Theory is like the Short and Sweet course - and then some. It's a complete repertoire for White starting with 1.d4!

It's our big upgrade: a full opening system researched with all the latest lines for those of you who like to play positional, but punchy chess.

The London System with a punch

John and Daniel specifically recommend it to two levels: newer players who have some initial experience with the open games AND to stronger players who want a reliable strategic line that still has a sting.

The course includes:

- 114 trainable variations and 20,000 words of instruction
- 10 model games to grasp the theory from
- 30 tactics based on the repertoire

No stone is left unturned as John and Daniel bring you our most up-to-date London System course yet just in time for the World Chess Championship match in... London.
