As Black
Beat the London and Quiet Systems
White wants a quiet game. Hit d4 with ...c5, line up ...Qb6 on b2, and make it less quiet.
Against 1.d4 d5 2.Bf4, White's bishop has left the queenside.
The target. After ...Nf6, ...c5 and ...Nc6, the move ...Qb6 hits b2, where that bishop used to help.
The quiet cousins. Against the Colle, bring the bishop to f5 and trade it. Against the Veresov, ...Nbd7 and ...h6 keep things simple.
