I'm preparing my comeback

Btw, we should play chess one time as SN arch-enemies

We can even play for sats if you want. Doesn't mean I think I'm going to win, just that I'm even willing to lose money just to play with you

Maybe I'll get an epic stalemate haha

Wait, there are variants of the London opening?

I only learned how to play King's Indian and London.

I've been following Naroditsky's opening advice -- just try different ones and keep playing the ones that work for you.
(I've won an insane number of games in the 1200-1500 range from easy quick-attack Jobavas)
