About this repertoire

The London System is a very powerful, yet simple to learn and simple to play opening. Rather than learning a ton of theory and memorizing variations, in order to employ it successfully, you should be equipped with a solid strategic understanding of the common patterns and structures, main pawn breaks and typical piece placement.

This repertoire covers all the main lines and all the weird sidelines black could try against the London, and it should provide a full arsenal with the white pieces!

Questions about pre-made repertoires

Is Hanging Pawns' London free?

Yes. Every pre-made repertoire on Chessbook is free to add. The free Starter plan holds up to 200 moves across your repertoires; Chessbook Pro removes the limit.

What happens when I add it?

The lines are copied into your own repertoire, trimmed to the positions that actually occur at your rating. From there you can edit any move, add lines from other sources, and drill everything with spaced repetition.

Can I combine it with my own White openings?

Yes. A Chessbook repertoire is one tree per colour, so a pre-made repertoire sits alongside anything you add yourself and the coverage report treats them as one.

Train it with spaced repetition

Add the repertoire, set your rating, and Chessbook schedules every move until you never forget it.
