	There's always the Gruenfeld/Catalan approach even if you play 1..d5: 1.d4 d5 2.Nf3 Nf6 3.e3 g6 1.d4 d5 2.Nf3 Nf6 3.Bf4 g6 This is probably a good way to outplay a weaker player without a lot of knowledge of London/Colle theory. It's not that you need to learn much theory whatever line you choose, but there's more to learn in the standard recommended lines than many people seem to suggest. For instance, White has several good independent ideas with 2.Bf4 that are sometimes overlooked by Black players. In fact, many London players consider the 2.Bf4 move order to be more accurate. These nuances are probably less of a concern if Black plays 3..g6.

	Then 1.d4 d5 2.Nf3 c6 might attract you. After 3.e3 Bg4 Black wants to play a Stonewall with the bad bishop outside the pawn chain. Black will then have excellent attacking chances. After 3.Bf4 Qb6 and 4...Bf5 is most interesting.

I play QGD or (Semi-) Slav so your options arent in my repertoire, but thanks for your answer (I should have said that in my first post, sorry) Btw: I thought the Pseudo -Chigorin is a good option for white if he plays London System?...

	Hi guys! I am playing 1.d4 d5 with black but a lot of people play against me Colle or London System. I have never looked up theory about these two openings, I just play normal intuitiv moves. My question is now, are there any aggressive variations for black to meet the Colle/London System? Thank you
