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!
@@markzuckerberg6054 Grilling meats?
@@markzuckerberg6054 what does he need to become a GM?

@@zarius3223 thanks papi
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
It used to be 100%but rip

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 UA-camr 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
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

20:13 "the pawn is pinned to the queen from behind" - chess dirty talk with eric rosen
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
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.
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
this guy is awesome! love his explanations and reasoning behind every move!
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
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.
First time stumbling upon this IM. I am loving what I am hearing! Thanks so much for your insight!
It's true that many high level players are not good lecturers. Eric here is an exception! Well done presentation.
What a simple, but informative lecture! This has inspired me to pick up London. Thanks
Thank you, Eric! I always feel nice and calm watching your videos
eric killed it ! more of him please!
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 😃
The London is the system that I want to master! Thank you for sharing, IM Rosen. This was a treasure trove of ideas.
What a nice Game you had with Simon. Thanks!
Nice Lecture on London Eric thanks to share with us
A Very interesting video delivered in a clear and understandable way. Thanks Eric.
john skelley 👁️👁️❗❗❗🔬
I love Eric, i didnt expect to watch this whole thing when i started but it was excellent and i did
Good lecturer, who knows how to explain the ideas smoothly.
Thanks SLCC.
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..
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.
Amazing class, don´t know how many times I've seen it.
Gata Kamsky is so strong!
Beautiful first game, Eric!
Nice games and really loved the exclamations!
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 are you down to practice with me as well?
@@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.
Excellent lecture. You are a great teacher. Thank you for making this video.
Amazing and insightful lectures, Thanks Eric for inspiring my Chess tactical prowess... my game has really improved
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.
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.)
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
Very nice illustration ! Keep it up. Always knowledgeable as usual. Learning something from your video which helps to get new good ideas. !!
Thanks for the great videos! When is Yasser going to do some more lectures??
The best lecturer at the club nowadays for sure!!! Keep up the great work, Eric!!!
This is a treat for chess lovers for sure. Thanks Eric!
Just started playing bullet and was recommended the London since it stays pretty consistent and am enjoying it. Great vid and very informative!
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 ?
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
Thank you dude, for this amazing video tutorial
Terrific, as ever, many thanks.
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
This guy is great!
Excellent programme I learnt more then ever in shortest period of time. Many thanks
Excellent lecture, thanks!
Good Job man. i remember and GM Bojkov to play the ''Ashwin trap''
i played kesav a few years back. cool to hear the name of an opponent
This was incredible. Really interesting games/positions. Very well explained.
It's rare to find such cool masters like eric
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.
My notes.
A great set of moves :- 16:25 , @14:00
An early c5 move from black 32:00
This man brings me joy
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: ua-cam.com/video/ulJuHiPm_fM/v-deo.html
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!
Thanks, very helpful.
Thank you eric
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.
Wow lovely tricks!! I will remember and practice this over and over again so that I will not forget it. Than u mate!
Thanks for the class
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!!
8:20 nasty discoveries you say
Very good teaching thank you.
Very inspiring video to start studying and playing London!
the first game its also a checkmate in two if you check with knight then bishop
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?
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
very sophisticated moves and very instructive
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.
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
Thanks. Im getting back into to chess and his helps
i really enjoy this lecture
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. 🎉
I love Eric he is my mind Guru in Chess
Thanks sir I like it beautiful preparation
Outstanding video layout no wasted space on my phone thanks Ben
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
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.
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
Thanks fer the siminar, and sharing yer knowledge bro, brovo, Shalom
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.
Great to see you rebound after Oasis, Noel!
Insightful. Will try some ideas in the next game
So proud of his rare win against Fabiano, bless him!
Thank you. I am a newbie, who gets slaughtered every game. Now I know why, my time will cone!
Hey Jimbo, checking in a year later. Did your time come?
@@karelhanssens9239 *cone
And intentionally sacking material is never a good idea at the lower levels.. We do that naturally..
This was the best chess video I've seen yet; kool analysis, well organized - TY 👍🏼
That first game must have been so satisfying to play and win, can see it on Eric's face. Definitely a game to remember
@ 25:50 "I am not the best counting sometimes..." 😁 You have to laugh when an IM says that.
Despite being a good lecturer he does play very well. Eric's my favorite chess youtuber of all times.
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.
He's Amazing 🔥👍gr8 of Eric Rosen
'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.
