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.

18:31 QF1 checkmate. Rosen: "I don't see anything immediately wrong with this."

Eric is a very good communicator. I learn a lot listening to him.

Really liked the discussion here with the lines in the French.

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!!!!

18:32 if Qd2 it's mate in one... The kid's variation probably doesn't include king h1

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 :-)

You dont know this but your little brother does 5 minutes later: you may know the french better than me Lets goooo lil dude

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!

Really enjoy your (Eric) video presentations. Clear concise and on-point. Thank you for your time and efforts. It is appreciated.

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. 👍☺️

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

One of the best teachers. Very organized and direct. Easy to follow explanations even for a beginner

Eric you are so humble, kind, and talented. I love your videos, and admire your successful pursuit of passion !

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!

18:42 mate in 1 lol

"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 KZfaq.

More of this please!

Awesome lecture! Thank you for sharing this! 👍🏼

Thanks Eric for sharing such valuable information.

Rosen you are amazing

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".

Thank you for these great videos!

Lol at 18:47 the rook is hanging with mate and Eric is like.,.." I see nothing wrong with this. Check it with a computer..." Priceless.

Thanks a lot for your videos because these videos are the most useful things to share and talk about

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

Thanks Eric for the great stuff as usual.

Eric you are a fantastic teacher!

❤ Eric Your explanation no one can,. Excellent superb Fabulous

Thank you very much Mr. Eric

Excellent explained.

Very practical and entertaining.

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.

Finally an amazing video!

My favourate Eric Rosen.

Another great tutorial..respect 👍

Thank you Eric!

Thank you so much Eric !!

i laugh so hard when he says "alright all e4 player"

eric ur amazing keep going

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.

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!

18:50 BRUH awesome prep for going home early in a tournament

Excellent!!!

Great lecture :)

Very useful great stuff

18:32 queen takes rook mate in 1?

i would LOVE to see your recommendation against the albin counter gambit. d4 d5 2.c4 e5 3dxe5 d4

Vienna gambit is amazing

Luring pieces to squares the knight can fork is a cool tactical idea!

ive been getting to the vienna gambit, paulsen attack from alekhine defense a lot

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

Eric is the best

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.

All of you at St louis chessclub is great teachers. ❤💪👏👍

i say i love u just very gooooooode

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).-

18:32 why you played d4?? and not Qxf1 mate?

why si erics voice so soothing

18:35 Queen to F1; Checkmate?

Awesome content as always, thank you Eric🙏🏼 33:53 Be4 maybe

Aye 10/4 is my birthday Love your content

This is the beauty of chess.

Almost thrice watching this.

oh my queen!

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?

where is the link?

At the 18:33 mark. . . . Why push the D-Pawn ? Queen takes Rook, Checkmate ?

What site does he use for his lectures?

I'm not finding that link to Lichess. Anyone know where it is? He said he would put it in the description.

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. What about Icelandic Gambit on Scandinavian Defence?. will we have more lessons how to fight against it and how to play with it...

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

At 18:30 after white moves qd2 I don't understand why queen doesn't take rook. I'm confused. What am I missing?

My country's board one played this milnerbarry gambit against out of all people anish giri lol,he got crushed pretty quickly

What happens at 18:32 😂 Never "Queen to d2 or something" always play Queen d1

You forgot to share the link to the lichess studies :) Keep up this good content

Nxe4 is the main line in belgrade, giving black advantage, though you need to know it precisely

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.

Petrov against e4 my Absolute best

At the first gambit for black ... why white didn't play something like A3 to make the bishop get back?

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?

Where is the link for lichess study sir??

Hi I just started playing chess and learning a lot from you! I have a question? Why does, on 5:45, black stop white from castling when he takes the rook on f1 with his queen? Black is just gonna lose his queen after right?

12:24 "the pawn is defended by tactics, essentially" i lold

Love Eric's analyses

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 ?

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?

plz do nimzovich defence

Hi, on minute 5:00, when queen goes C4, most natural move for white seems pawn B3, is it not?

How do we find the link to this study on Lichess?

Please add London System v Leningrad Dutch

Around 18:28 if he moves his queen to d2 queen f1# checkmate right??

The bird opening!

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.

Does anyone have the link to these analysis?

23:05 i have had this position and black played c6, now if I bring the bishop to c4 he has 3 attackers on my pawn defended once. If i play ba4 then why wont black just play b5 forcing my bishop back with tempo and gaining space on the queen side
