1. g1f3  1... d7d5  2. d2d4  2... g8f6  3. c1f4  3... c7c5  4. e2e3  4... e7e6  5. b1d2  5... d8b6 [%c_effect b6;square;b6;type;Interesting;persistent;true] An interesting way to meet the London System. 6. a1b1 Black won't have many problems in the game continuation, so maybe White should seek a more active way to play. 6... c5d4  7. e3d4  7... c8d7 [%c_effect d7;square;d7;type;GreatFind;persistent;true] A plan that is very typical in the French Defense. Black wants to exchange light-squared bishops. 8. f1e2  8... d7b5  9. e1g1  9... b5e2  10. d1e2  10... b8c6  11. c2c3  11... f8e7 Black has no problems, but White is solid. I think it's because of these types of positions that the London System has the reputation of being a dull opening. 12. f3e1 [%c_effect e1;square;e1;type;Interesting;persistent;true] The knight heads to d3. A slow maneuvering game starts. 12... e8g8  13. e1d3  13... a7a5 [%c_effect a5;square;a5;type;Interesting;persistent;true] Gaining space on the queenside. 14. a2a4  14... b6a6  15. f1e1  15... f8e8  16. h2h3  16... f6d7  17. d2f1  17... d7b6  18. b1a1  18... b6c4  19. b2b3 This gives Black a few targets to aim at. 19... c4b6  20. f1g3  20... b6d7  21. e1d1  21... g7g6  22. f4e3  22... e7d6  23. f2f4 [%c_effect f4;square;f4;type;Mistake;persistent;true] A very commital move.
