This guy is a very good lecturer. Better than many gms.
Lourenço Teixeira Menezes
Such a nice & down to earth guy!
He is great but not as entertaining as Ben finegold
Truth hurts.
I also agree and follow his channel.
Yes, he is very communicative
Eric the IM has beaten: Magnus, Hikaru, and Fabiano, he needs to go easy on all the super GM's
in a bullet game. But Eric still great tho!

Fun fact: Eric has a 66% win rate against GM Magnus Carlson. Not a joke.
Yeah. Joke 😁
He won a best of 3?
NefariousPorpoise He’s played him 3 times, and won twice. All of them in bullet, and one in bullet 960

I wasn’t a fan of Rosen's early lectures: looking back, though, I think he has really grown into this senior instruction role. It's nice to see a young, talented, knowledgeable player mature into an excellent teacher. His preparation was always exemplary, but when the audience failed to fully engage, historically he came off as a bit awkward and isolated. Now, however, he just resorts to his strengths: prep, tactical and positional acumen and an all-around nice guy now fully in control of his sessions come what may. This video is another lovely example.
Oh, yeah, Starbucks take note: the only CZcamsr more deserving of sponsorship than Rosen is IM Fins - John Bartholomew.
lmfaoo Bartholomew
I get a real Charles Boyle vibe from him xD
I think his twitch streaming and regularly instructing that online audiences translates to more confidence in front of a real crowd
@@marcushendriksen8415 Who’s Charles Boyle? Nvm - I FGI. Have only seen couple episodes of Brooklyn 99
20:13 "the pawn is pinned to the queen from behind" - chess dirty talk with eric rosen
Just played this and immediately beat a computer level I have been stuck on for awhile, thank you.
Awesome!!
Computers tend to do pretty bad against this for some reason, it’s really weird
@@achintya4094 I think it's because it isn't about material, it is a very fast developing opening, so if the computer is just calculating point value it will lose.
lmao
@@dylanxu1764 you will be the next WC
So many teachers fly through moves that they understand but beginners or even intermediate do not. You understand the small structures and are able to explain their relevance. I love watching you teach.
Thanks!
Eric Rosen is definitely my favorite lecturer on your channel.
Please more from him!
Also the live matches he Played on lichess once were sooo entraining
You should make this a series.
Jesuz the Butcher agreed
Thanks for the kind words, Jesuz the Butcher!
Jesuz the Butcher agreed
He has a channel
This comment aged well
The first game was absolutely beautiful. I’ve been trying to experiment with gambitting pawns for initiative and I learned a lot from your game and enjoyed it thoroughly.
Rosen is a top instructor, I really appreciate his pedagogy.
It's true that many high level players are not good lecturers. Eric here is an exception! Well done presentation.
London became so popular these days that it has lost it's surprising effect, but the system itself is still brilliant, simple and deadly.
Квант-Сёрфинг ❗❗❗
Квант-Сёрфинг is
depends what you consider surprising. It has now become a standard D4 opening with lots of theory behind it, but still lot to be discovered. Consider something like the Spanish opening which has been around for more than a hundred years and still is played very commonly. But still it has a lot of theory to be discovered
Very True
"London opening is deadly" = you're rated below 1600
Thank you for a beautiful presentation of the London. It was very clear and concise---Made simple and easy to follow. Eric Rosen is an excellent teacher.
i love how happy he looks explaining the trap and such really made it much more enjoyable to learn it :) love u eric!!
:)
@@eric-rosen Yoo it’s Eric !!! Hi Eric 👋
I smiled during all the video cuz everything was so clear, thank you Eric Rosen you are a incredible person
this guy is awesome! love his explanations and reasoning behind every move!
The London is the system that I want to master! Thank you for sharing, IM Rosen. This was a treasure trove of ideas.
I play this opening because of this video! You have really enhanced my playing Eric! Thanks so much for what you do!
Zazu Ishtar Great to hear 😃
Thank you IM Eric Rosen. I have had a difficult time lately and you have improved my understanding and play several fold. Please keep posting.
What a simple, but informative lecture! This has inspired me to pick up London. Thanks
First time stumbling upon this IM. I am loving what I am hearing! Thanks so much for your insight!
The London System is hatefully annoying. I'd like to see a video about how to play AGAINST this thing.
Caio Rolando lol true
As someone who plays the London, I'm glad to hear that it's considered annoying (no offense). I would also love to see a video of how to play against it though, so that I can have an understanding of what my opponents are trying to do.
Honestly i've been struggling when black plays a King's indian position against my london.. but an early c5 does the job.. and put a knight on e4 that's a pain to deal with unless you wanna play f3..
Solid play.
It's a really good and solid opening.
Caio Rolando I actually gave a previous lecture on some games where black crushes the London. You can watch here: czcams.com/video/ulJuHiPm_fM/video.html
I love Eric but can’t get over him using his thumb for the mouse
If you don't like that, you'll hate what he can do with the Stafford Gambit ;-)
why did you make me notice why
WHAT
What a nice Game you had with Simon. Thanks!
I love the music in the start. Give s this feeling of seriousness and sets us into the tone, like we've come to the sacred halls of an amazing place.
The channel sure is awesome.
At least these lectures from back then were.
I feel so..and make brain more focus to ready input for knowledge..
eric killed it ! more of him please!
Thank you, Eric! I always feel nice and calm watching your videos
Amazing and insightful lectures, Thanks Eric for inspiring my Chess tactical prowess... my game has really improved
I just began to play chess and absolutely love it! Relaxing, definitely makes you think strategically, dignified and a game fit for a king or queen.
Minecraft is a game which is fit for a king or queen.
Decades ago (early 80s) I played the London System and had a lot of success against club level players. Better players than I am would attack on the queenside and smash me. Lots of tactics. (Note: I developed this opening on my own without much information. I used to play the Colle System but always disliked my Queen Bishop being undeveloped, so I started playing it to f4 and then followed Colle System tactics. This is my only instance of originality as a chessplayer.)
I love Eric, i didnt expect to watch this whole thing when i started but it was excellent and i did
Best instruction vid I've watched, as a fairly new student. Several repetitions of one theme, each with a different outcome. Repetition helped imprint the London opening, the variations made it interesting, and I liked the pacing too. Nice work
A Very interesting video delivered in a clear and understandable way. Thanks Eric.

Damn it man it's o frustrating sometimes because I study all these openers and traps but when I go a game I always lose :(
Add me on lichess Ashcraft I will practice with u. And ignore that dumbasses comment

@@eddieash6189 thats a man right there!

Not all heroes wear capes 👑
Ya mate. Gotta memorize them bleh. It's weird cuz just simple thinking will get you really far. Learning theory is kinda lame.
Good lecturer, who knows how to explain the ideas smoothly.
Thanks SLCC.
Amazing class, don´t know how many times I've seen it.
Gata Kamsky is so strong!
This is one of the only players in the world to have a positive win rate against Hikaru and Magnus. That is saying something. Listen to him carefully
Not against hikaru anymore
@@tunahanculcu4111 at least Eric is a nice guy, whereas Hikaru is a toolbox.
The best lecturer at the club nowadays for sure!!! Keep up the great work, Eric!!!
Very nice illustration ! Keep it up. Always knowledgeable as usual. Learning something from your video which helps to get new good ideas. !!
Excellent lecture. You are a great teacher. Thank you for making this video.
10:17 Ben Finegold was also present at the presentation to correct Eric Rosen neglecting his Queen, i mean his student! Good job educating the young minds!
Nice Lecture on London Eric thanks to share with us
This was incredible. Really interesting games/positions. Very well explained.
Excellent programme I learnt more then ever in shortest period of time. Many thanks
Nice games and really loved the exclamations!
i played kesav a few years back. cool to hear the name of an opponent
Beautiful first game, Eric!
That first game must have been so satisfying to play and win, can see it on Eric's face. Definitely a game to remember
Thanks for the great videos! When is Yasser going to do some more lectures??
Ironically I played a game on Lichess to practice the London System, but I got black and my opponent ended up playing the London against me XD and we got to a very similar position to the board at 13:41 but instead of playing h6 I played g6 instead. I felt like this was the better move as it completely nullifies the threat of Qc2.
I ended up winning my match :3
I was about to comment the g6 move for black. But I wanted to see if somebody already mentioned it.
@The man in the mask you’re not very nice
Just started playing bullet and was recommended the London since it stays pretty consistent and am enjoying it. Great vid and very informative!
Got all the questions about next moves right which is encouraging as I normally suck at puzzles.
My notes.
A great set of moves :- 16:25 , @14:00
An early c5 move from black 32:00
Good Job man. i remember and GM Bojkov to play the ''Ashwin trap''
Wow lovely tricks!! I will remember and practice this over and over again so that I will not forget it. Than u mate!
I am new to Chess having played less than 50 games before starting Online Chess recently. I tried London last week when all I knew was 2nd Move by Bishop… I won next 6 games! It seemed natural play so I decided to learn more formal positions. Now studying how to BEAT London so I get keen on opponent‘s counters…
Some things are explained perfectly. But when it comes to endgame he tends to say 'here its just over' when I still need like 4-5 moves. As I watch all the learning videos for getting better at end game. I tend to f'ck up there a lot
right? i’ve noticed that’s a kinda a common theme in a lot of instructional videos
@@poierbear1
They see it immediately and often forget beginners still have a hard time in this position.
Also the class in front of who they lecture are often a higher level than us already
@@MusicPlaylistsChannel yes but a beginner needs to play a lot to master the endgame. Nobody can teach how to play an endgame. And the videos are supposed to teach the theory and theory only lasts till middle game
Just do puzzles, they can teach you endgame
There is no shortcut for the endgame and it is crucial if you want to improve your results. If you play tourneys then you better have a solid foundation in the endgame. No need to get a big book but you have to devote yourself to the basics.
I like this IM. Very easy to listen to and easy to learn from. Thank you IM Eric Rosen.
This is a treat for chess lovers for sure. Thanks Eric!
A actually came up with a trap i ended up employing in a game with a friend, the trap was with the london and i won his queen in under 12 moves. It made me so happy as for a long time we both knew he was much better than me, the london is my savior. I love this opening
Best lecturer ever! Traps in the opening are amazing, I won like 5 games on my latest tournament just with Nc3 closed sicilian traps :) Keep going man!
Josef Růžička Thanks!! That’s great to hear!
Awesome!!
Exactly what i needed as i play the London a lot, good stuff Eric, love it
Patrik Černý čech? :D
Michal Döme zdravíčko, slovák😁 som rád že nie som jediný kto sleduje takto
Aby taky ne, vzdyt toto jsou skvela videa :D
Taky tak, pánové ;) zdravím z Brna
Ako dlho hrávate ? A ELO ?
Last game was just too beautiful. 👌I gonna try playing London from now on these lines. I used to play London but as i didn't got that good results I quit it and started playing scotch gambit now I think I can play London against strong higher rated players thanks for this lesson
Was able to get a game almost exactly like one in this lesson and it completely crushed. Love your content man I’m not great at chess but you make it easier
8:20 nasty discoveries you say
One of the most entertaining chess videos I’ve seen in a while. Thanks. Never played the London system (as white or even against it) but going to try it and will analyse with Houdini
, CE
The first game for black I have never seen them play that. The second variation is way more common.
But I’ve never had the opportunity of that awesome win.
Very inspiring video to start studying and playing London!
The last few days I’ve been watching Eric’s lectures or games every time before I go to bed. Not just a good teacher, but seemingly a really nice guy!
J. 🎉
This guy is great!
This was the best chess video I've seen yet; kool analysis, well organized - TY 👍🏼
It's rare to find such cool masters like eric
@ 25:50 "I am not the best counting sometimes..." 😁 You have to laugh when an IM says that.
the first game its also a checkmate in two if you check with knight then bishop
Just over a year since Eric published this, wish he'd update it with some more miniatures from some of his blitz games, really fun to watch.
very sophisticated moves and very instructive
My respects to IM Rosen. His teachings are quite good if we consider that he is just a human being. He is not at my same level in chess (3600 rated), but he is very clear to teach mere mortals.
10:38 did it even matter if you went bishop or knight first ? the outcome would still be check mate ? knight to C7. black knight takes. bishop F7 checkmate?
Excellent lecture, thanks!
Well, seems like I've been playing the London for the past year without knowing it. Lol
There's a Svidler banter blitz where he falls for the Ng5 trap at 26:35, loses the f7 pawn... and then goes on to win the game. I think he plays a6 in response to Ne5.
I'd love to see a lecture on the Stafford Gambit by this guy.
It's such an unknown opening but SO overpowered. As a low elo I tend to blunder my pieces. But with the Stafford Gambit, I can blunder my knight or my QUEEN even, yet, I still end up winning in the next few moves! How crazy is that!
Very good teaching thank you.
Actually at 22:22 is mate in two, with Rc5+ either Kb8, Qd8# or Kd7 Qe6#
Edit: Didn't see Bc6 as a defence but I'll leave the comment just to remember which is the best continuation for black
(Even tho the actual best continuation is to resign)
At 18:22 when the black queen was pinned then black pawn should move from G5 to G6 kicking the white queen and then black wins white night if the white night won't give check to black king and then white queen would move to G5.
I play the london all the time after learning it from gingergm.. really cool ideas and games thank you!!
Same here
+koustav well yah cause if you want the rest ya gotta buy the day vay day vay day vay day vay day
Avuvos 👁️👁️❗❗❗
Same here. I found Williams DVD to be pretty damn comprehensive.
Outstanding video layout no wasted space on my phone thanks Ben
Terrific, as ever, many thanks.
At 10:50, there is another mate in two: Nc7+ Nxc7 Bxf7#, as the queen on d7 is pinned.
Nice find!
Also bishop to f7 then knight to c7 if I'm seeing this correctly
Lol my bad didn't watch till after I commented lol
actually thatis is the 1 i saw first:D
I saw this one first too haha
Wonderful video, Eric! I'm just wondering what kind of setup you play against an early ...c5, because there's not much theory about it. For example:
1. d4 Nf6
2. Bf4 c5
3. d5 (I guess) Qb6
and so forth
Ryan Winter after 3. c3 cxd4 4. cxd4 we have an exchange Slav and it sucks if you want to have an asymmetrical position
I would play 3.e3 as it can transpose into many lines I showed in this video. If 3...Qb6, then Na3!? can cause some issues for black.
czcams.com/video/bAAo5g4myZM/video.html cehck this video out by ginger GM where he talks about how to deal with black playing an early c5
Actually the standard approach in London is nf3 in move 2 witch is a lot easier to face but c3 should work
Lol yea I faced thatbefore
Thanks fer the siminar, and sharing yer knowledge bro, brovo, Shalom
'if you listen to any finegold lectures what move does he always say?
Always play king B1' hahaha finegold has a very effective way of reminding everyone of this important move.
Despite being a good lecturer he does play very well. Eric's my favorite chess youtuber of all times.
So proud of his rare win against Fabiano, bless him!
Thank you dude, for this amazing video tutorial
Figured out the Qa4 move, and now I feel like the love child of Magnus and Hou Yi Fan...
"bollock chess is one minute chess" - this videos subtitles
I just want to say that thanks to this video, I have managed to beat Magnus 9 years old. May seem trivial to some people, but it feels like a big achievement to me. Thank you Eric Rosen.
that's actually a great achievement considering the botez sisters lost to magnus 10 year old pretty recently
Thanks, very helpful.
Great to see you rebound after Oasis, Noel!
As a non chess player, that's 47 minutes of my life I'll never get back.
Why did you watch it 🤔
@@shyamkrisharry That was the joke. Most people are fooled by click bait and then claim they lost the few minutes of their life doing so. Here's a weird guy (me) who supposedly was fooled but kept watching the whole video and didn't know when to stop. Funny, huh?
