So let me get this straight TomTom232 - Three years ago you were asking RahimK for advice on how to get to 1400, and now you're capable of matching Fritz' top three moves for 36 out of 37 non-book moves in a 25 minute game?
I don't know what you're trying to achieve by this thread, but I don't believe these are your games.
These games don't feel human to me.

Even in the last one the game is won before we get out of the opening because of a well known opening blunder by black in this type of position (Qxd4??).
Originally posted by greenpawn34Earlier you said that you consider 2.Qh5 playable because it upsets your opponent, so surely the London System must be OK by the same reasoning?
A human.
Evan a Monkey would not play the London System. 😉
I know that many Black players inwardly groan when White employs an opening such as the London System, the Closed Sicilian or the King's Indian Attack. However all of these can be used by White to play for a win, and a player who plays the London System is likely to be more familiar than his opponent with the sorts of positions that crop up.
Hi Cimon.
I'm thinking this is not a very good choice to
demonstrate the joys of the London system.
The London Bishop stayed on the board all of 7 moves!
That game was at least equal in the middle game till
Petrosian who was then World Champion outplayed an
old Sammy who was I'm sad to say past his best.
Here. This is the London Bishop winning a game.
Branko - Luckas (cannot recall the year).
Black tried to get rid of the London Bishop but the King's knight
kept finding itself on unprotected squares allowing White to tactically
improved his bits by hitting it
It was then left to the London bishop to spike the Queen.
A good game this. Worth going over slowly.
White's 12th move Nxd6+! is a wonderful example of snatching
an opportunity.
Dear greenpawn
I can inform you that opening advantage is not so important for London system players (including myself) - they want to get safe positions in which they will have no risk at all (which does not mean that opponent can`t get in trouble with careless play).
About Petrosian-Reshevsky: after 15 moves Petrosian had some plus due to better pawn structure - pawn on h6 is obvious weakness.
