Críticas:

-Most readers will welcome the fact that the authors have included a wide variety of alternatives, and looked at them with such a critical eye. The London is no longer a plodders 'system, as with so much GM interest it's becoming as critical as many erstwhile noble openings. This will be the reference work on the complete London System for years to come.---Glenn Flear, Grandmaster and author of 'Starting out: the Open Games'

-If you want to sharpen your repertoire with the London System, this is your book.---Florian Jacobs -Max Euwe Centre, Amsterdam -

-Encyclopedic in scope, offering readers a complete London-style repertoire, and often with multiple options (..) An objective book that maps out numerous paths forward for the Londoneer.---John Hartmann -ChessLife Magazine (US) -

-An opening that is very popular at the moment has finally gotten a good book (..) A real standard work.---B. H. Wilders -Nederlands Dagblad -

-This one easily has the more in-depth coverage [than 'Winning with the Modern London System']. There are recommendations against all of Black's replies (..) The book concludes with a very interesting chapter on the Pereyra Attack. It is easy to see this sort of rapid attack working like clockwork at club level.---Sean Marsh -CHESS Magazine (UK) -

Reseña del editor:

It is not difficult to understand why the London System is such a popular chess opening with club players all over the world. Against virtually every Black defence after 1.d4 it offers White an easy-to-learn and reliable set of lines with interesting choices between strategic or more aggressive approaches, while avoiding tons of opening theory.Lately an increasing number of Grandmasters such as Alexander Grischuk, Gata Kamsky, Baadur Jobava, Richard Rapport and even World Champion Magnus Carlsen have played the London System.In this light it is surprising that so little has been published about this fascinating universal weapon. GM Alfonso Romero and FM Oscar de Prado have now filled this gap. In The Agile London System they present both historical material and recent top-level examples to provide a comprehensive overview.Romero and De Prado explain the typical plans and tactics using illustrative games with clear verbal explanations, and provide lots of tactical and strategic exercises.The authors reveal the secrets behind sharp ideas such as the Barry Attack and the Jobava Attack and have added an exciting chapter on the hyper-aggressive Pereyra Attack, developed by the Argentinean master Manuel Pereyra Puebla.
