@@kurosakiichigo7475 i agree, but for getting a lesson from him you would have to pay him directly, this way thousands of people get the lesson for free, i think it's still nice of him
This is by far the most instructive and helpful French defence video for 1100-1200 in my opinion being in that range myself. Not too fast or slow, so far the best lesson for me AND I HAVE WATCHED AN AWFUL LOT. learned more on this one video then the many others put together. Thanks you
So grateful for what you do Eric. Incredibly helpful stuff, feels like direct instruction. Credit to Mr. Gordon for being a great student and allowing us to benefit from this!
Nice video! Eric is a very good teacher as you can see in this video! About a month ago, I beat a WFM. If it wasn't for Eric's chess lesson several years ago, I don't think that I would have beaten the WFM.
What a god. Already the best instructional chess player in the business & he publishes one of his lessons to YT. Thank you Eric for improving our chess & making the field more competitive all around.
As a French Defence player this was very insightful. Also loved hunting the white Bishop, and learning more tricks. My favourite version is the Rubenstein, follow up with Nf6. So this covered the other popular ones, exchange and advance! :)
Played my first master otb last night at my chess club in blitz (chuck diebert) and won thanks to the fact that I've been able to study heavily and immerse myself into chess content. Thanks Eric!
@@arya6085 he has a video or two where he explains the two main opening traps. I am talking about an instructional video on ponziani openings like he did with the french in this one. He plays the ponziani really often and i think a lot would like to see some opening variations on it
Phil is right. At the 1200 level, just go as long as you can without hanging a piece and you'll probably win. Your moves don't have to be particularly good just as long as they don't lose obviously and immediately
"Just give them time to blunder" Phil nailed it. I've noticed that up to like 1400-1500 you don't have to do anything but play solid chess and just wait. More often than not they start to play too aggressively and end up blundering a piece or two
Ok, there is now way this nice man is a 1200 player. I’m like 600 and I’m seeing the moves Eric is asking about with no hesitation and this man is blundering away his queen?! Anyway, I love Eric’s videos and I thank him. I hope he gets $ from UA-cam!
2 views, 52 likes. UA-cam is drunk again. Anyways, love the video! This was very informative. I'm more of a Pirc/Modern/King's Indian Defense guy, but I'm thinking of picking up the French as my 2nd opening as black. I have a pretty low rating though, I don't know how far I'll be able to climb with this opening. xD Edit: Nevermind. When I came back, the view and like count was pretty much boosted up. xD
Below 1500 elo you shouldn’t try to learn openings... First, you should learn how to defend and attack and not blunder your pieces. Unless you can do that, there is no point to learn opening lines.
Eric you should probably cover the french exchange lines and the setup when white throws in random checks with bishop b5 and queen e2. If Phil somehow reads this, it's a fairly simple and intuitive set up as well which is super solid, pawn c3 against bishop b5, and bishop e7 against queen e2 and then you just develop fairly normally and then castle (hoping to eventually break open on the queen side, similar to the advanced variation)
Eric is so nice for giving out this whole lesson for free. Such a humble and generous guy !
I know right?
To be fair he earns money from this video. Some people's entire career is giving lessons on things on UA-cam
The video is monetized, but I agree.

Thanks you
I agree and think the same!
"Every pawn lost is a file opened"-IM Eric Rosen
👌
Unless they’re stacked
@@plantzhaih4015 That still is a file opened. It might not be because the pawn was lost, but its original lane is open.
Why does this have so many upvotes?
1) He‘s said it many times already
2) If I watch the video, why do I need you to repeat something he said?
@@Hannwes true
Rosen: *does a video**
Me: I'm inspired, i'll play chess
Also me: *looses 200 elo**
You should master the tempo
Inspiration is a lie
@@LeventK lmao Dewa_Kipas' bs
You have to keep playing! Try to play 1-3 games a day, do 20 minutes of puzzles, and always review your own games
@@protestthebread1046 this comment was just a joke, but thanks for the recomendation
this is an amazing and relaxing time for me after all the college work. thats for the content eric
It’s great randomly seeing Phil get a lesson. Brings back memories of the WSOP days and the poker boom.
So grateful for what you do Eric. Incredibly helpful stuff, feels like direct instruction. Credit to Mr. Gordon for being a great student and allowing us to benefit from this!
I love the French defense and thanks Eric for making a video on it
I haven't finished the video yet but check out Eric's StL lecture a few years back on openings, he gives some lines for the black side as well.
"If he wins this game then he can be compared to Tal or Morphy
If he loses then he can be compared to Pogchamps participants"
lmao touché

Phil Gordon's one of the good guys. His books are very funny too.
Much, much, much, much needed
Bravo Eric, Bravo Phil , I enjoyed both of you so much !!
I really love these sorts of videos. Thank you so much Eric!
Love your content keep up doing it so that we can get better at chess
Wicked video, super informative and Eric is encouraging as always!
Eric please consider making a lesson on ponziani opening variations
I think he's done some ponziani stuff before
@@arya6085 he has a video or two where he explains the two main opening traps. I am talking about an instructional video on ponziani openings like he did with the french in this one. He plays the ponziani really often and i think a lot would like to see some opening variations on it
That's easily the best video on the french I've ever seen!
awesome! i was in stream when he happened to first drop by to watch you live
excited to watch this

46:10 erics facial expression be like : interesting move, wouldn't have thought of that . Following the famous oh no, I just lost all my pieces
46:10 I love how I had the same reaction as Eric
This is soo good!!!
Man I was recently learning the French, this is just in time
French Defense begins at 25:14
Eric I love you for this, I have an OTB tournament tomorrow and I'm planning on the French, I'll definitely learn something new from this, thanks!
Good luck
Would love to know how it will go.

Phil Gordon!? Damn Rosen! Two great commentators in this vid! 💯
thank you for the frenchie tutorial 😁
I play advance french with Nge7 instead of Qb6, works for me. Also If after c5 c3 Nc6 Bb5, Then Qa5 gets some advantage
if he likes castling queenside, maybe recommend scandinavian as black vs e4?
Oh, I was watching to see how to Eric teaches, didn't expect to see a line I didn't know beforehand
I'm French and I'm trying to learn my country's defense, thanks for the help I definitely will enjoy this.
Such a dumb reason to learn a defense
@@wsemenske rude, let him do what he wants without judging
@@wsemenske Atleast I have a reason to learn it
Thank you Eric
Please provide some analysis in the Milner Barry gambit lines from whites perspective
Dewa kipas vs gothamChess
Do fan god stats make sense ??
What do you think
"If wins this game, he can be compared to Tal or Morphy..." That really did make me laugh out loud. :-)
When should i start playing blitz.. I always lose on timeout
@35:20 He missed b4. Threatens bishop pinned to Queen
Please make a best opening video for black its hard when playing black
Can someone help me: what would have been wrong about Knight f2 for black at about @14:13 forking the rooks? Why dont they talk about it? 😁
A rook will simply pin the knight to get out of the fork with prospects of winning it
@@relentless5275 Ah! Thanks!
A perfect video for me
Isn’t 39:58 mate with qh8
Eric: Here's some great insight.
Phil: Yea (as if he knows it already)
everybody gansta until white opens up with gambit AND tempo
Can we get 0 dislikes on this video?🔥
Noone dislike this video let's make it unique😎
Let's do it!
I play the french and Qb6 is my mainline. Bruh now nobody is gonna fall for it anymore.
I study the french over and over, but people avoid it. Rarely will I play 6 moves in the french before it goes down a sideline
MARK

1 hour video
Says he was not disappointed by content
*video posted 9 mins ago*
@@ahmedalihussain5366 have you ever been disappointed by an Eric Rosen video? 😉
7:17 - I would've probably played Qe7 there, what do you think about that move?
he suggested it later
Qe7 is much better as he said late rin the video, because it prevents Re8
Is this poker Phil?
look at Eric man, so inspirational
Didnt know Jack Nicholson played chess
Their rating is around 1200 but they played like 1600.. Good Game👍

For me it is all games and fun untill i play a real game xd
Yey
player is 1000. He is a beginner. I am 900. I guess I am trash =D
Your vidoes are wonderful but your pronunciation of "Luft" is not. Remember it's the same word as in Lufthansa.
I just went on lichess and played e6 against 1.e4. My opponent resigned immediately. He lost 60 elo.
Says 2 views, but 16 comments. Lol
Too late for me there are over ten comments
Poker player called Phil who isn't Hellmuth is just disappointing
The poker player was driving me crazy with "I remember now." Isn't chess about *understanding* rather than *remembering*?
Understanding basically is remembering concepts.
@@BlacksterVFX The "poker guy" here was trying primarily to memorize lines/moves.
