The London System with e6 is a solid and flexible opening for White that aims to control the center with pawns on d4 and e3, while developing the light-squared bishop to f4. By playing e6, Black prepares to fianchetto the dark-squared bishop on g7, creating a solid pawn chain. White's setup with Nf3 and Bf4 allows for quick development of pieces and a strong pawn structure. This opening is often used by players looking for a solid and positional game, as it avoids sharp tactical lines and focuses on gradual piece development. The early development of the light-squared bishop to f4 puts pressure on Black's pawn on d5 and can sometimes lead to a quick attack on the kingside. Overall, the London System with e6 is a reliable choice for players who prefer strategic maneuvering and solid pawn structures.
