Formation of Pieces

This is what NORMALLY we want to get to when we play the London System in the opening. This part formation can ALMOST ALWAYS be formed. Let's talk a bit about this scheme: The b2-c3-d4-e3-f2 pawns form a pyramid. This is probably what makes the London System SO SOLID. We must also consider the good development that we can achieve. The dark squared bishop is outside the pawn chain and is (obviously) not locked in. The light squared Bishop is probably White's BEST PIECE, and the 2 knights also help development.
