@DanielKingChess You quoted Ding Liren as calling Ra2!? a ‘cannonball’ move. I think this is a reference to Chinese chess (Xiangqi) where as well as Rooks there are Paos (Cannons) which fire like X-Rays over the heads of the next piece. Ra2 has an X-Ray quality to it :) @FIDE_chess

@dgriffinchess The London System is named after the London tournament (31/7-19/8/1922) where it was played as a solid alternative to main lines with 1 d4, 2 c4 in the later rounds.
