                  Échecs: Londres ne répond plus de Vassilos Kotronias et Mikhail Ivanov
                      Pour la plupart des joueurs, affronter le système de Londres a quelque chose d'agaçant. Longtemps délaissé par les grands joueurs, superficiellement peu agressif, c'est le type d'ouverture dont on se dit que si on la rencontre devant l'échiquier, on arrivera bien à la neutraliser avec un peu de bon sens et en respectant quelques grands principes. Or, ce système est loin d'être...

It is written from White’s standpoint and covers non-g3 set-ups. Some notable exceptions are 1.c4 e5 2.Nc3 d6 3.g3, although 3.Nf3 and 3.d4 is also analysed. It should also serve Black players since the authors often discuss several alternatives to the main lines. The focus is on the modern...
