Quote:What do the following 5 books on the Chigorin recommend against the London System?
Play 1…Nc6
Chigorin Defense According to Morozevich
The Chigorin Defense
Ideas Behind Modern Chess Openings: Black
Unusual Queen’s Gambit Declined
Okay, I'll answer your question.
'Play 1...Nc6' recommends playing ...f5 at the first opportunity. If the opponent gets full control and domination over the e5-square, capitulate.
'Chigorin Defense According to Morozevich' recommends imitating Morozevich at every opportunity. Especially his unpublished blitz games.
'The Chigorin Defense' recommends castling queenside before move 7, no matter what White plays. Obviously this may involve some sacrifices along the way.
'Ideas Behind Modern Chess Openings: Black' recommends playing the least theoretical move possible, so that you only have to study one GM game and not thirty.
And finally, 'Unusual Queen's Gambit Declined' recommends that 3.Bf4 is a forced win for White since the domination of the e5-square will secure a fine sloughter.
