I agree with that. I have a friend who often plays the London, and has always played the French.

It is funny. With black your queen bishop is buried on c8, with white it is often buried on h2.

This seems like a odd thread.

There used to be a player at local town that played London system ( 1 d4 2 Bf4 against almost everything) and he always played the french vs 1 e4.

A London System player should play the Paris Defence. We only have to figure out yet how that goes.
  

The book had the effect good books usually have: it made the stupids more stupid, the intelligent more intelligent and the other thousands of readers remained unchanged.
