Hand that covers the soul

"The London is a system that is 1. designed to teach you to avoid openings, 2. it allows you to play a very safe structure at the expense of entirely giving up on fighting for the center, which is absolutely destroying your chess understanding at the very core, 3. it allows you to play the same structure over and over again which means you are learning one stupid system instead of learning how to play chess, 4. it doesn't have the slightest chance to give you any advantage in any openings at all, 5. it's designed for you to survive instead of actually fight and win."
