@ajcon3874 Жыл бұрын

I like the London, it’s one of the best openings under 1000 alongside the Caro Kann as black, not much you have to learn plus good stable position with some development though the Advance Caro Kann is tough with the space disadvantage I think both are great below 1200 and worth learning for ANY 600-1200. Vienna and Ponziani are also top tier imo.
