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.
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 :-)
@@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.
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!!!!
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!
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".
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.
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!
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. 👍☺️
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.
"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.
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
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.
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.
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
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 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
I'm a new player and i find i'll develop all my pieces and connect my rooks but my opponent will attack with their pawns and i get jammed up in the middle and end up behind after the opening phase. Does anyone have any suggestions?
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.

Thanks peterson
What's c B stand for
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.

Hi Harshal
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.
so wholesome.
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 :-)
One of the best teachers. Very organized and direct. Easy to follow explanations even for a beginner
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.

18:33 i think instead of d4 the best move is mate in 1 but the kid knows it better

Nice. Watched 10 minutes and it was useful! Hurrah to Eric!
Thanks a lot for your videos because these videos are the most useful things to share and talk about
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!
Loving this series so far.

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
ive been getting to the vienna gambit, paulsen attack from alekhine defense a lot
My favourate Eric Rosen.
Rosen you are amazing
Thanks Eric for the great stuff as usual.

Thank you very much Mr. Eric
My country's board one played this milnerbarry gambit against out of all people anish giri lol,he got crushed pretty quickly

@@yanair2091...And apparently a couple understood you as well, despite your grammatic error and misspelling. Be careful where you're pointing that finger...
@ 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?
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.
Nxe4 is the main line in belgrade, giving black advantage, though you need to know it precisely
At the 18:33 mark. . . . Why push the D-Pawn ? Queen takes Rook, Checkmate ?
I saw that too
Yes good point
Thanks Eric for sharing such valuable information.
Thank you for these great videos!
18:35 Queen to F1; Checkmate?
18:32 queen takes rook mate in 1?
Awesome content as always, thank you Eric🙏🏼
33:53 Be4 maybe
Vienna gambit is amazing
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.

12:24 "the pawn is defended by tactics, essentially"
i lold
Rosen should do Botez gambit
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.
why si erics voice so soothing
At 18:30 after white moves qd2 I don't understand why queen doesn't take rook. I'm confused. What am I missing?
Another great tutorial..respect 👍
Nxe4 is ok in the Belgrade. But you have to be prepared
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.
Excellent explained.
Eric is the best
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!?
Finally an amazing video!
What happens at 18:32 😂 Never "Queen to d2 or something" always play Queen d1
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?
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!
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?
Great lecture :)
At the first gambit for black ... why white didn't play something like A3 to make the bishop get back?
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.
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
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 would LOVE to see your recommendation against the albin counter gambit. d4 d5 2.c4 e5 3dxe5 d4
Very useful great stuff
Excellent!!!
18: 48 that's actually a checkmate for black by taking Rf8 if queen move to d7
18:31 Queen E2 by white is actually mate in one for black (queen takes Rook C1 with checkmate)
All of you at St louis chessclub is great teachers. ❤💪👏👍
At 18:46, if the white queen moves, then Qxf1#.
This is the beauty of chess.
One year waiting for the public Lichess study.
Someone explain, at 18:31 , QxF1 is mate right?
18:30 gotta wonder what position eric was REALLY looking at...
Does anyone have the link to these analysis?
Around 18:28 if he moves his queen to d2 queen f1# checkmate right??
18:32 why you played d4?? and not Qxf1 mate?
13:35 what about wite playng ba4? Is this working?!
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
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
How do we find the link to this study on Lichess?
Where's the link for the lichess study ?
at 18:30 isn't qxrF1#? I don't see a way to defend and king cant move
I'm not finding that link to Lichess. Anyone know where it is? He said he would put it in the description.
Thank you Eric!
I'm a new player and i find i'll develop all my pieces and connect my rooks but my opponent will attack with their pawns and i get jammed up in the middle and end up behind after the opening phase. Does anyone have any suggestions?
Resign.
year late, but also try and look at what your opponent is doing after he moves, rather than focus solely on your end of the board.
Thank you so much Eric !!
isn't it mate in one at 18:32 when the queen takes the rook ?
