This is an amazing lesson with a very cool format, where Andrea can make regular questions that we the audience would normally make, and to the people complaining about her voice, go outside, meet some people, you'll realize that some people have different, maybe louder tones to their voice and different ways to express themselves... And still are cool people... So stop complaining so much, loved this collab, keep it up Eric and Andrea!
Yeah, nothing wrong with her voice, the mic balancing is just a little off. She's got her mic at normal streamer volume while Eric has his at Eric Rosen volume.
thank you SO much for this video, as it is pretty rare to find these kind of "interactive" courses online (meaning where a master actually teaches someone in front of them, instead of just presenting like some kind of powerpoint) and as a London player, it feels good to see some recognition of the beauty of this opening
Amazing collaboration. Andrea was so helpful in playing "devil's advocate" for some of the lines. And Eric, your natural pedagogical nature and insightful instruction is truly a gift for us all. Both of you demonstrate such a motivational willingness to improve -- it's so inspiring!
Just finished rewatching Agadmator's Anti-London, Levy's Anti-Anti London and Eric's recent Anti-Anti-Anti London; and now comes the Anti-Anti-Anti-Anti London...God chess is hard!
The London objectively is a very dry opening which at the higher level is not great at all and there are many ways for black to take over the initiative.
@@faznaz7455 Except that on the highest level it was quite popular last year because the main lines of QGD don't offer much pressure either. Black gets out of the opening well.
@@paulgoogol2652 Really? There are a few lines in the QGD that are quite tricky to deal with. Both white and black have a lot of options to play and coordinate pieces. I guess i hate facing the London because of its bland and simplistic style because I don’t find the London as an opening that plays for an advantage for sure. I follow Sam Shankland’s repertoire with the black pieces when dealing with the London coincidentally because at the very least black is equal and they have easier play.
@@rahulsbhatt i used to play it constantly but lately ive been hooked on blackmar-diemer. Plus anti-london lines are a headache for me. Ive had awesome success with blackmar-diemer lately. Its objectively bad to play tho lel
@@rahulsbhatt gothamchess dropped a video on it “free elo with blackmar diemer” or something like that, but i dont play the line he shows, i play “blackmar diemer ryder gambit” specifically. Im not aware of any videos on the ryder cause i learned it by analyzing my games. But if you wanted to message me on discord i could probably link you some studies on lichess
The first time I watched this (I watch a lot of Eric’s chess videos) I admit I was a little irked by Andrea’s volume, but I’ve come to really like this video. Not just for the content, but for Andrea’s energy and Eric’s eternal patience. They both have top level channels and i wish them all the best.
Thank you Eric Rosen, really appreciate all the your contents you have been creating. This one really tops as it helps players like us who are in between beginner and intermediate level.
Andrea Botez is so wise. She catches all the nuances that Eric speaks in his lectures. Such as Bringing up how this is a "Novelty in the London" as being part of a strong refined history. She picks up alot from just a little bit of information. Truly Insightful.
Eric, superb coaching on the London and even better interpersonal technique with Andrea. I like the way you actively engaged her in ways that kept her on task. Well done!
I agree with you Andrea, it is so hard to know when the right moment is to break open the center. I have been studying this and it has improved my game tremendously.
Cool to see Eric teach a variety of ways of playing the opening rather than just to play the same system over and over. It shows how some lines of the london can be pretty sharp and it also has a lot of flexibility. The setup against the kings indian formation is sort of transposing into the 150 attack pirc, a great setup against fianchetto structures. I've always really liked the Samisch kings indian though. It has this plan of Qd2-Bh6, queenside castling or even keeping the king in the centre. I think having the pawn on c4 is pretty strong since it supports a d4-d5 push - forming a strong pawn chain and winning connect 4. Also c4-c5 in some positions, putting pressure on d6, even as a pawn sacrifice to open the c-file and weaken e5. f3 supports e4 and the g4, h4-h5 pawn push and allows the bishop to sit comfortably on e3 where it can't be harassed. After 1 d4 Nf6 2 Bf4 g6 3 Nc3 3 ...d5 is a strong response, going for a grunfeld setup. It prevents e4 and is stronger when there is no pawn on c4 to contest it After 1 d4 Nf6 2 Bf4 g6 3 Nc3 Bg7 4 e4 4 ...c5 is also pretty good, and interrupts the Qd2-Bh6 idea. I think having pawns on c4 and d4 is just very strong in pretty much any queen's pawn opening and gives you more options in the long run. I am just a beginner but that's my impression haha
Great videos on London system! Both content and Erics way of presenting it are very much appreciated! Looking forward for Erics next videos about London!
At 2:45 Nd2 is what i play, and also Carslen's preferred line. I play Nf3 on the 1st or 2nd move if i play the London, because i don't want to enter an exchange Caro-Kann with 2. Bf4 2. c5 3. e3 3. cxd4. I also like to keep more options open, and 2. Nf3 is more versatile. In the position in the video, if Qb6 you just take on c5, and it's not really a typical London, but it's more pleasant for white. That's just what i play, but i just thought i would share it Edit: I wrote this comment before i watched the rest of the video, because i know Eric usually plays 2. Bf4, but he covers it in the video
24:52 - Why can black not just play Bxc5? The only thing I can see is that White could play Nb3 with tempo and then look to jump into d4? Or just play e4 straight away again? But if e4 was coming, why not just take the pawn back anyway? I have a feeling its more to do with my first suggestion, but I could be overlooking something as I’m not that strong of a player hahah
@ 10:08 if they castle you don't want to leave the fork because after Nxd4, White is still better obviously, but White ends up with tripled pawns and an awkward Bishop and Knight. Bxc6/Bxa8 is much cleaner. (Even Qxc6 is cleaner.)
at 11:18 I think best move here is Qa5 threatening to take whites queen if they take the pawn while also threatening to take the bishop if they move their queen. If QxQa5 Nxa5 defending b7 continuing the attack on the bishop. It looks like it leads to a rough time for white too as it allows BxBf4 while creating a center semi open file further allowing an improved position for black with castles and rooks on center files and black gets to open the center kinda whenever after that.
after Nxa5 Bb5+ and after the dark-squared bishop trade, white has a really nice and quick attack with Ne5. Also, Nxb2 is not a problem as it simply opens another file for the rook to join in the attack.
hi , what are you referring to when you say you can use the engine ? is the engine a program to try out ideas ? if so where can i find it please ? many thanks ian.
That Ba6 trap has blew my mind! I've played the London for over and year and never even considered that as a move - probably explains why I'm 1600 and Eric is 2000+ lol! Thanks, Eric and Andrea!
Played the London against my mum with this exaxt Position in the Board Didnt See it. Then analysed the Game and was Like. Wow yeah that works too i guess. Then later that day Played that specific Line and Won.
Weird! I have played the London as my main opening a couple of years ago (because of the GingerGM videos) and I've encountered quite a bit of Qb6's on chess.com.
@10:08: Can someone explain why after they castle, we're taking the bishop on f4 first instead of the knight on c6? If we take the knight on c6, we're still going to win the f4 bishop after black plays Rb8, so why do we need to take the bishop first?
You're right BxN is the first key move. I think they didn't look at it deep enough. if BxB the engine says NxP(d), and there is a series of moves but White is still clearly winning.
Notes :- First trap starts at 5:05, the answer begins from 8:15, explanation starts at 9:20 2nd trap starts at 13:40, solution starts at 14:20 Solution to what if they keep copying 19:00
En el minuto 19. No debería jugar c4 directamente, para después de e6 contestar con Db3? Que pasa si después de e3 e6. C3 alfil b4 jaque? Muchas gracias por tus clases son excelentes
Alright I am just gonna ask, from 22:06 Toughest Line for Andrea thing, Queen takes b2, Rook b1, now what if Queen takes the a2 pawn? Am I missing something very obvious?
Hey IM Rosen- Thanks for the video... very helpful....any tips on books or videos to prepare for the lines you showed against the KID? I have never seen those lines before and would love to study them in detail before i play them...
I wish I could go back in time before Eric had any sort of streamer/youtube career and just hire him as a coach to teach me a better form of the London. I used to play it and then moved on because I just wasn’t getting what I want out of it and it wasn’t until this boom of chess content online did I realize some of these other cool ideas and ways to play the London. I learned it as a kid without many resources or any sort of online chess content and I really learned the boring old set up the same way every time basic approach
Bxb7 Rxb7 Qxc6+ and you're attacking the rook and the bishop. If Qd7 saving the rook Qxd6 Qxd6 Bxd6, white 1) is up a pawn. 2) has a nice bishop on d6 eyeing the c5 pawn and preventing O-O (If Rxb2 at the end, Bxc5)
That was an amazing video. I was really Inspired by your videos that is why I started my own channel and I am now posting weekly tutorial videos about chess.
Eric sir and other good people reading this you won’t believe me as I always watch Eric chess videos while doing breakfast lunch dinner and when the videos are above 1 hour or more, it’s difficult to eat more but I can’t resist watching your gameplay sir!!!! 😋
Watching a video with Eric Rosen and Andrea is like watching an old movie with garbage audio. One minute it’s stupid loud next minute you hear whispers...
Hi Eric, great job showing all the fun in the london and proving it's not just a boring system. I'm back to playing chess after not playing for 2 years (never been higher than 1000) and have been watching all of your video's and St Louis lectures. I do have one question regarding the position shown at 8:51, what happens if black plays Qa5? Am I missing something obvious? Because I've placed this position on the board and it seems like white has to take the Queen or lose his. Would love to hear your thoughts on this. Keep up the good work inspiring this new wave of chess players with your aggressive style. Greets from Amsterdam [Edit] The obvious thing I might be missing is the fact that it's a trap for blitz and not a position for classical chess :p
you would simply trade queens in that position, but you have to also think about what the queen used to guard. After the queen trade, you move your light squared bishop back to b5 to check, then take their dark squared bishop on d6. If the king moved to e7 to defend d6 in the previous move you could try pin the knight on f6 instead and try to eventually win the queen (now aligned with the king), or you could simply trade bishops on d6 instead and laugh at the fact that black now has their king on d6 and try to exploit it.
Fun fact: it's impossible to adjust correctly the volume for this video

but i am still allowed to find screeching noises annoying or do i have to go outside and scratch some windows with nails to learn about that?
I love Andrea......

and as a London player, it feels good to see some recognition of the beauty of this opening
Of course if someone is going to find every trappy line in probabbly one of the most solid opening, it's going to be eric.
The London is also Eric’s main opening so it makes sense that he knows it inside out
@@noxus7462 I thought the stafford was his main opening lol
@@grinreaperoftrolls7528 yes for black
The stafford is not always his main weapon. He usually does it against 1600+ Elo players.
Since he most of the time plays strong players, his same elo
As a London player, this video is pure gold
so much
I will be a London player soon, too if I am done with the Sicilian prep

I've played for a little over a year and when I discovered the London system it grew on me, now I use it all the time.

collab lessons are extremely entertaining!
Would normally never watch a 1h chess video but the energy and synchronicity here is very nice

Don’t let the mania fool you. Andrea has a brilliant mind. Both her and Eric are great teachers, too. I want to thank them for all their help.
I've used the Ba6 trap and I can say this is my favourite line with the London opening and i was so happy to learn and use it.
Eric, I love that you are pointing out weak squares and how to take advantage of them, this is something that I am working on.
Eric, superb coaching on the London and even better interpersonal technique with Andrea. I like the way you actively engaged her in ways that kept her on task. Well done!
I agree with you Andrea, it is so hard to know when the right moment is to break open the center. I have been studying this and it has improved my game tremendously.
If it looks like eric blunders something, he is winning the game.
I just started watching but I can already say that it's a video I dreamed of. Qb6 makes me crazy as a London player. Huge thanks to Eric.

These are great lessons. I'm killing it with the London, and going to watch the last one with you guys published.
this is the only chess lesson i watched that did not make me sleepy while watching lol

Can't wait to delve into this. Three of my favorite things in chess: London System, Botez, and Eric!
Wow, I found Ba6 about 5 seconds before Botez. I'm so proud of myself!
@ 10:08 if they castle you don't want to leave the fork because after Nxd4, White is still better obviously, but White ends up with tripled pawns and an awkward Bishop and Knight. Bxc6/Bxa8 is much cleaner. (Even Qxc6 is cleaner.)

Idk why UA-cam stopped recommending your videos in my feed. This was an awesome lesson.
38:05 What do you do if cxd4? After exd4, black plays Nd5 and the engine shows the best move is Bc1. Seems like black is better here
Eric: So this is how I would set up against the Bongcloud
Andrea: Oh yeah- I was just going to ask about the Bongcloud
eric you inspired me when i first started chess to play the london as my main white opening, and this video is very helpful so thankyou
At 38:00 you should play kc3 so you can play a3 to trap the queen effectively
Best coaching video I have seen in a while!
@10:08: Can someone explain why after they castle, we're taking the bishop on f4 first instead of the knight on c6? If we take the knight on c6, we're still going to win the f4 bishop after black plays Rb8, so why do we need to take the bishop first?
You're right BxN is the first key move. I think they didn't look at it deep enough. if BxB the engine says NxP(d), and there is a series of moves but White is still clearly winning.

I'm a bit confused. What's wrong with pawn A6 to threaten bishop. In multiple scenarios that would end bishopmthreat and force exchange, right??
Loved this session.
I have a question about the ba6 trap. What if black plays Rb8?
For the first trap shown, if white bishop A6, what if Black goes Rook B8 to cover ???
Bxb7 Rxb7 Qxc6+ and you're attacking the rook and the bishop. If Qd7 saving the rook Qxd6 Qxd6 Bxd6, white
1) is up a pawn.
2) has a nice bishop on d6 eyeing the c5 pawn and preventing O-O
(If Rxb2 at the end, Bxc5)

Hi Eric, great job showing all the fun in the london and proving it's not just a boring system. I'm back to playing chess after not playing for 2 years (never been higher than 1000) and have been watching all of your video's and St Louis lectures.
I do have one question regarding the position shown at 8:51, what happens if black plays Qa5? Am I missing something obvious? Because I've placed this position on the board and it seems like white has to take the Queen or lose his.
Would love to hear your thoughts on this.
Keep up the good work inspiring this new wave of chess players with your aggressive style.

The obvious thing I might be missing is the fact that it's a trap for blitz and not a position for classical chess :p
you would simply trade queens in that position, but you have to also think about what the queen used to guard. After the queen trade, you move your light squared bishop back to b5 to check, then take their dark squared bishop on d6. If the king moved to e7 to defend d6 in the previous move you could try pin the knight on f6 instead and try to eventually win the queen (now aligned with the king), or you could simply trade bishops on d6 instead and laugh at the fact that black now has their king on d6 and try to exploit it.
Yes I see it now, had the classic "chess tunnel vision" going on. Anyways, thanks for the explanation my friend.
I can't decide what should the volume be while watching this, help.
@@Kobra-Kyle It’s not that Eric’s mic is better, it’s just that Andrea makes every mic sound like it’s a $20 mic from walmart.
In Andrea's toughest line, Qc3, why is Qxa2 bad after the rook undefends?
most instructive hour of my life.
botez provided insightful feedback. she's a valuable cohost imo
Yesss a London video!
