Stockfish 15 Plays the London System vs the Magnus Carlsen Bot!

Happy weekend everyone!! Today, we have a fun little video where Stockfish 15 NNUE (3770 elo) opts for the London System (+0.10 eval) against the Magnus Carlsen Age 30 Bot!

The standard London System (1. d4 d5 2. Bf4, or Nf3 can be played before Bf4. Not referring to the Jobava London system, where Nc3 is played and f3 is on tap for White) is notorious in the chess community for being a boring and unambitious try for White. White typically gets a solid pawn structure (the "London triangle", aka pawns on c3, d4 and e3 creating a rock-solid structure), but also struggles to generate an attack at the top level.

So today, we are simply testing to see if Stockfish can improve on the London System as we know it. After 2. Bf4, we have Stockfish take over for the rest of the game. Let's see what happens!
