I don't get the hate for london players. it's better than having someone do a shitty sac that's unsound on move 3, then have to refute it in a fucking blitz game as a 1400 player.

Found the London player

not really, Blackmar–Diemer Gambit and Hyperaccelerated Dragon/Modern defence player.

I'll go down to like -1.2 eval in the opening and not give a fuck and blame the engine for being a conformist.

Sound like something a London player would say

I can't tell if you're serious but just in case, both OP and I are just kidding. You are on /c/anarchychess after all.

I play the English opening with the horsey behind the little guy, then improvise from there... Is the English opening related to the London one?

I don't know if it can transpose into the London very easily, but I might be wrong.
