Hello this is Harshal from Pune, India. Thank you so much for sharing these secrets and novelties with us.I know it takes a lot of hard work for IMs and GMs to prepare these lines and you are sharing this for free to public is really appreciable. Also I am big fan of your style of teaching. Hopeful to see more of it.
I spend a lot of time watching chess videos and this is the first time I am making a positive comment. Highly instructive, clearly explained and completely interesting. 5 stars all day long, I look forward to more!!!!
Not only is your presentation excellently crystal clear.. but there's a certain budhist calm in your voice that makes better people of us all. Cheers :-)
Eric, you’re my favorite IM! Your videos are very practical, easy to understand, good pace and a great mix of theory but being unorthodoxed as well. Thank you so much!
@@alexg111 oh yeah I didn't consider the whole variation, I just noticed the kid interposed before Rosen suggested king h1, but you're right. Something's not right there.
Eric. You have a very nice way of teaching. Keep it up. Thanks for the videos. I'm following your videos for the past few weeks and they are really good. 👍☺️
Great content, but Rosen said in the video he would include a link to the lichess study in the description, and frankly that's a great idea. If he put up a study on lichess relating to this lecture it would be cool to link to it here!
Excellent presentation. The line against the Danish Gambit is also the line recommended by Bologan; it is a transposition to the "Capablanca defense of the Göring Gambit" - for more details, see chapters 3 and 22 of his book "Black weapons in the open game".
"And we'll leave a link in the video description". I've heard this said in several other lectures held by the St Louis Chess Club but there's never any link available, at least not here on UA-cam.
After watching this video, I forgot everything about chess and started to think about this person. His smily face, his interpretation, his awesome teaching style and his humbleness. At 17:55 when one of the student suggest a good move. He appreciated it with open heart. That's rear. Big respect for you, Eric. Stay blessed and thanks a ton for the superb content.
Well, it's white move after that so probably tried to support the rook. The point is the student wants to play bishop c6 pinning the pawn (after probably bishop d4 protecting while attacking the black queen)
@@WARUEL No. The Qd2 is a total blunder because the queen moved away from the rook, giving way for the mate in one. The student's variation probably didn't include the Kh1 so when he studied the variation, there wasn't a big threat.
Loving this series so far. The other day you also mentioned a project on openings you had been working on, and though I’m sure I will enjoy that, I’d be especially interested in a graphically intense book on tactics that I can keep on display to pique the interest of friends and family when they visit. Even if there are some already available, I’m certain you could do it better. Just a thought. Keep up the good work, Sir. Also, my wife, Nicole, is now hooked on chess. So, thank you for that. Our nightly games are a refreshing alternative to stale video games and thinly plotted television series.
Good news for everyone commenting about Eric missing the mate-in-1 at 18:32 . He's streaming right now (as of the time I'm making this comment), and earlier in the stream he mentioned that he missed it when referencing this video while playing a Milner-Barry Gambit. -Semi-related, he just mentioned he's playing a combination of the London and Bongcloud in the game currently on stream (again, as of the time I'm making this comment).-
@@yanair2091...And apparently a couple understood you as well, despite your grammatic error and misspelling. Be careful where you're pointing that finger...
On the french opening: Black's Queen C4; White's Queen D2; Black's Queen take F1 checkmate. So there is some thing wrong with the kid's line... Thank you for the course.
22:20 in Hammer's repertoire he recommends Nf3. It follows with a rather simple set up to avoid very concrete lines. Bb5 is the most ambitious but you will have to invest plenty of study not to get tricked in this line which really isn't that popular at all.
Actually this is really good chess class, unlike most of chess class that taught openings like 10-15 steps only and leave you hangs, this ones involves variations, no wonder he is good at blitz, fundamental chess is important, i know wits are also important, but memorizing this will help a lot in saving times, and its very usefull for blitz
The Icelandic occurs after C4. This line does not hold onto the pawn that way, the check means you have to respond immediately. The only similar line would be to block the check with C6, then dxc bxc... but it isn't a good gambit as black does not get to recapture.
I do not play anymore this french variation with white (e5), because i allways feared my pawn-structure and the loss of a pawn. Anyway, with black i feared something other in this situation. Maybe there are to much ghost in my mind. But i like it much better with black, most i have a nice dead while growing old, while with white...also blundering, but earlier. It is nice to see, how sharp the french can be. Never thought about that wild things, just worry about my pawn or king. That is the trouble in my head.
Eric Rosen is definitely the best lecturer on the St Louis Chess Club. He actually gives tips that we can use in our games! I’ve learned so many trick lines from him, and being a RARer, I use them to win all the time!
At the 6:00 mark, I realise it’s whites move, but why isn’t it better to try fir the queen side castling (for black) before the heavy trade? If the rook can be brought to the E-file, with the queen and B Bishop, isn’t that a better position to go for?
the iline eric shows here is common to mei i have sen that before the move bb5 is comoon to fight for an advantage in scanadavian and bc4 also but ra4 is brilliant move
At 18:30 the kid says “they play Qb2 or something, then I play D4” both the kid and Eric missed Qxf1# instead of D4. It’s literally just checkmate, they BOTH missed it
This shows how much confidence and psychology affects play hahha the kid was confident and said he prepared so Eric looks to find the possible strengths of the position
Very sympathic man, remembers me "Mr. Bean". ;-) Very good he shown all the ideas to play. But after taken with the rook, i would also done, but i am worry: Is it enough ?
12:05: "If you say takes, takes, takes, takes several times in a row, it sounds like steak steak steak steak." The commentary we're all here for.
the cringe jokes by eric. lame lol.
lol
It is actually a brilliant memory aid that seems more modest.
It doesn't make me laugh, but my stress is reduced somehow
yeah,dont be have high expect that ches player jokes
Eric is a very good communicator. I learn a lot listening to him.
You should check out John Bartholomew
18:31 QF1 checkmate. Rosen: "I don't see anything immediately wrong with this."
lol, yeah, looks winning
I‘m guessing the original, prepared line might have still been with the king on g1.
@@sanchobanana3507 that is true, he did make 2 moves for black in that variation (Kh1 and Nc6)
Came down to comment this 😂
@@saadrizwan1501 I was sure I missed a sneaky defense. 🤣
Really liked the discussion here with the lines in the French.

Hey dude really nice comment, you seem like a great guy. Take care
Harshal I agree with you and you really worded this well. It’s been a year since you have posted this but I hope you are well.

18:32 if Qd2 it's mate in one... The kid's variation probably doesn't include king h1
Can’t imagine it doesn’t include Kh1 as f4 would be illegal otherwise... either that or the queen is not on the a7-g1 diagonal
@@alexg111 oh yeah I didn't consider the whole variation, I just noticed the kid interposed before Rosen suggested king h1, but you're right. Something's not right there.
Loved this.

“I don’t see anything immediately wrong with this.”
I also saw this haha

Eric Rosen is a great teacher! Thanks from São Paulo in Brazil! He is currently the player that influences me in choosing my repertoire of openings!
Really enjoy your (Eric) video presentations. Clear concise and on-point. Thank you for your time and efforts. It is appreciated.

Nice. Watched 10 minutes and it was useful! Hurrah to Eric!

If I'm being honest, the Idiot's Guide to Chess Openings is pretty great. It's how I upped my game.
Luring pieces to squares the knight can fork is a cool tactical idea!

18:30 if Queen D2 is played black has checkmate in 1, so white has to play QF2 to protect the rook and then bishop B5 is great

Thank you very much Mr. Eric
Thanks Eric for the great stuff as usual.
Awesome lecture! Thank you for sharing this! 👍🏼
i laugh so hard when he says "alright all e4 player"
18:50 BRUH awesome prep for going home early in a tournament
At the 18:33 mark. . . . Why push the D-Pawn ? Queen takes Rook, Checkmate ?
I saw that too
Yes good point
Thank you for these great videos!
My country's board one played this milnerbarry gambit against out of all people anish giri lol,he got crushed pretty quickly

@ Mrwutevah Please tell, what error? There are no red underscores in my post. I guess I misused present perfect tense?
@@yanair2091 Correct! Also, you wrote "sad" when it should've been "said".
Which country?
Vienna gambit is amazing
Thanks Eric for sharing such valuable information.
why si erics voice so soothing
ive been getting to the vienna gambit, paulsen attack from alekhine defense a lot

Nxe4 is the main line in belgrade, giving black advantage, though you need to know it precisely
18:32 queen takes rook mate in 1?
Very practical and entertaining.
12:24 "the pawn is defended by tactics, essentially"
i lold
18:35 Queen to F1; Checkmate?
Eric is the best
Finally an amazing video!
Excellent explained.
This is the beauty of chess.
Eric.
What about Icelandic Gambit on Scandinavian Defence?.
will we have more lessons how to fight against it and how to play with it...
The Icelandic occurs after C4. This line does not hold onto the pawn that way, the check means you have to respond immediately. The only similar line would be to block the check with C6, then dxc bxc... but it isn't a good gambit as black does not get to recapture.

It is nice to see, how sharp the french can be. Never thought about that wild things, just worry about my pawn or king. That is the trouble in my head.
i would LOVE to see your recommendation against the albin counter gambit. d4 d5 2.c4 e5 3dxe5 d4
Great lecture :)
Excellent!!!
Another great tutorial..respect 👍
I'm Eric Rosen fan!
wooooo 😎
Eric Rosen is definitely the best lecturer on the St Louis Chess Club. He actually gives tips that we can use in our games! I’ve learned so many trick lines from him, and being a RARer, I use them to win all the time!
I looked at the Scandinavian line with the engine. It actually seems that black should play Nd7 rather than Bd7. Then if C4 A6 followed by B5.
At the 6:00 mark, I realise it’s whites move, but why isn’t it better to try fir the queen side castling (for black) before the heavy trade? If the rook can be brought to the E-file, with the queen and B Bishop, isn’t that a better position to go for?
I have run into the following effort to transpose to the Blackmar-Diemer by way of the French: 1. e4 e6 2. d4 d5 3. f3!?
Rosen should do Botez gambit
Awesome content as always, thank you Eric🙏🏼
33:53 Be4 maybe
Very useful great stuff
6:20 why not Bxc3 with check, if bxc3 Q takes c3 winning the rook or if K moves you take the queen and get you B out of the way?
Nxe4 is ok in the Belgrade. But you have to be prepared
18:31 Queen E2 by white is actually mate in one for black (queen takes Rook C1 with checkmate)
Speaking of amateur openings, that intro sequence was horrendous. Great video though, Eric. Superb content as usual.
Thank you Eric!
What happens at 18:32 😂 Never "Queen to d2 or something" always play Queen d1
the iline eric shows here is common to mei i have sen that before the move bb5 is comoon to fight for an advantage in scanadavian and bc4 also but ra4 is brilliant move
At 18:30 the kid says “they play Qb2 or something, then I play D4” both the kid and Eric missed Qxf1# instead of D4. It’s literally just checkmate, they BOTH missed it
Thank you so much Eric !!
All of you at St louis chessclub is great teachers. ❤💪👏👍
18: 48 that's actually a checkmate for black by taking Rf8 if queen move to d7
18:30 gotta wonder what position eric was REALLY looking at...
18:33 that’s mate in one, variation probably didn’t move king to h1
Then pawn f4 is illegal!! There was something wrong with the kids variation!
Jewish players should be particularly careful about accepting the Göring Gambit.
Sheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee-it
Oooof I’ll buy a scotch for you :)
Haha
oof
@schindler91589 you are talking behind a fake name though
I had a game that had the f file with a peice on every square
At the first gambit for black ... why white didn't play something like A3 to make the bishop get back?
18:32 why you played d4?? and not Qxf1 mate?
Aye 10/4 is my birthday
Love your content
A little bit late but happy birthday
Almost thrice watching this.
At 18:46, if the white queen moves, then Qxf1#.
One year waiting for the public Lichess study.
eric ur amazing keep going
My dear honourable IM.Eric Thomson sir please my Namasker. Which is the most important please reply me
Eric Thomson? His name is Eric Rosen.
I like 18:30. Erich moves 1. .... d4 instead of Qxf1#. It just looks funny to hear them talking about prep and ignore the mate on the board.
This shows how much confidence and psychology affects play hahha the kid was confident and said he prepared so Eric looks to find the possible strengths of the position
i say i love u just very gooooooode
oh my queen!
ah yes
Petrov against e4 my Absolute best
isn't it mate in one at 18:32 when the queen takes the rook ?
Very sympathic man, remembers me "Mr. Bean". ;-) Very good he shown all the ideas to play. But after taken with the rook, i would also done, but i am worry: Is it enough ?
