The London Files de Vassilios Kotronias & Mikhail Ivanov
      Although the London System was first played almost 200 years ago, it lay dormant until the beginning of the 21st century.

Nowadays the London has evolved into an opening taken up by both club players and world champions. Magnus...

                                      Bird's Opening is an underrated and dynamic choice for White that immediately directs the game into relatively unexplored territory, setting Black players early problems and forcing them to think for themselves rather than having the luxury of relying on the theory of more mainstream openings. It's also a very flexible option that can lead to both sharp gambit play, such as the notorious...

                                              The English Defence (1 d4 e6 2 c4 b6) is a dynamic, counter-attacking line, initially investigated by English grandmasters. Black aims to set White difficult problems to solve at the very earliest stage of the game. Black’s play is provocative – aiming to lure White into establishing a big pawn centre. This is a risky strategy as White falls behind in development and Black switfly becomes...
