I Tried Quitting Theory (Chess Experiment)

Nice, thanks. It shows you can play basically anything because -0.3 out of the opening doesn't matter, unless you are playing Magnus and then you'd lose anyway...

Thanks for posting the links.

@Benedictine Thanks for your post and the article. It was good. Sometimes, I wonder how much I need to study. I wish I didn't at all. Chess is more fun if you are playing the game without using too much theory. I understand that I need to know what to do if someone plays The London (that opening system is a royal pain in the @ss for a player such as myself). However, I think I will be able to handle it if I play enough people who use The London. :)

Cheers. For the London the set up I would recommend is d5/Nf6/Nc6/c5/Qb6 and if White takes the Queens off you can often push the b-pawn and play on the Queenside generally. Here is a game:

@Benedictine Thank you for showing me the game. I will study it and see if I can't learn how to fight back. :)
