Amazing how everyone argues that the London can't be refuted... without anyone asking the question what "refuted" means according to the OP.

Except for me @Magipi

Don't forget about your Compadre!

I totally said the London can be refuted.

I totally think I am on same page as OP on the meaning of the word refuted!

Latin Urban Gangster Definition of the word “Refuted”

Refuted means Flapping in the wind and/or fending for one’s self.

Alternative meaning to word “Refuted”

Refuted means being Rejected by a Girl which you tried asking out on date.

Thank you for the information Baby Joker!

I gain knowledge every day, essay!

King Indian defense is a super passive opening and would be destroyed by London opening. Review my games and find out how I always beat King Indian defense with Jobava London opening.

Black can certainly take measures to neutralize it and create imbalances that can lead to winning chances.

I’m not sure there is a clear refutation, but OTB I’ve seen some quizzical looks when I’ve responded with the Classical or Stonewall Dutch defense or the “Swiss army knife” of openings the Queens Indian defense.

Honestly Acc London can be refuted very easily. 1. d4 c6 2. Bf4 Qb6 and Black is winning.

Black's not winning there.

White can ignore the b2 pawn and allow Black to take it, and White is still completely fine ...

You could, but you aren’t going to avoid exotic positions that the engine will try to tell you about without going into the Englund Gambit.

Bf5 does not Refute the London. I don't think there is a way to refute the London, you just have to sit tight and wait for the game to fizzle out.
