After a weekend spent boosting the International Space Station into a slightly higher orbit to get ready to meet an arriving Soyuz mission on October 14, Greg has returned his attention to the chessboard, selecting a solid opening system first introduced in international play in London in the 1920s.

The Stevenson team has prepared four responses to Greg's London System: 3...Bc8-f5, 3...e7-e6, 3...Nb8-c6, and 3...c7-c5.  You can analyze the alternatives in our Java chess viewer, or click here to see diagrams showing each alternative.
