First chess streamer I've ever watched. The only chess streamer that improves my own game. Watching Hikaru, Magnus, etc. Makes me worse (specifically when they play blitz, or don't explain anything. I'll face loss after loss after watching them, lol.) IM Rosen explains his entire thought process. Really appreciate him.

I know you enjoy interacting with the Twitch chat, but this non-stream game was way more focused and entertaining. Rock on

I love these games. Just amazing how it seemed like White made a crushing attack appear like pulling a rabbit out of a hat. All from a vague notion of wanting focus to be on the king side and Black's choice to move king side with the queen. Amazing.

Me: "Oh, a new opening variation that might help me trick my opponent and win." Also me: "I played this couple times before not knowing what I was doing and lost big time."

Hello Eric. Thanks for the instructive game and congrats for the win. Did you record the post game analysis? If yes I would be interested in seeing that too.

Appreciate you boss

I was look at the lichess database and up until Qf3 you were 3/4 of all of the games in existence that played that line lol

Extremely nice gem of a game. 26.g5 e5 27. Rf6 (or your Rh6) Qxg5 is the kind of sequence i can see but stop calculating too soon. The quiet retreat of the rook back to the first/second rank to create unstoppable threats along the g-file is quite simple and elegant and just over the horizon of my calculation in such a quick scenario. Highly instructive. Thank you and kudos!

What happens in the Jobava when the black bishop plays an early b4? 1 - d4 d5, 2 - Nc3 e6, 3 - Bf4 Bb4.

29:42 Isn’t Qe5 just completely winning after Nf6? Am I missing something or is Eric missing a free piece in that calculation?

Jobava and Jodaddy too

when you play h4 if he doesn’t play h5 and doesn’t make the castle, you still play h5 where he’s going to take the knight, in which case are you willing to sacrifice the rook by taking the knight in h5? answer me please, what would be a good continuation for white after the sacrifice of quality? I'm Brazilian and I love your videos. I train my chess and my English at the same time. kkk

Quick question, if you took with the bishop and he pushed f6 couldn't you just take his knight in b8 and be up an exchange?

what sound pack is that he uses??

Chess always seems easy to Eric Rosen 😂

g5! Noice!

Eric! I don't know if you read comments, but I need your help very much, I am playing the london and people just play e6 b6 d6 Nf6 Ne4 type of moves and following it up with f5, any help?

I thought that it was the jobava-prie (after the French GM); credit were credit is due.

This is the whole point of the Jobava System: It has Nc3 played as early as move 2 or 3. In the typical London System, it is the pawn that occupies the c3 square. One idea of Nc3 is combining it with the powerful bishop on f4. if c5 is played carelessly by black, White can get the initiative with Nb5 threatening Nc7. It forces black to play Na6 and Black's pieces gets too uncoordinated. The knight on b5 can't even be easily dislodged in this structure type. Another idea of Nc3 is it threatens to play e4 early on should Black wants to transpose to Pirc or KID lines. Subtleties.

Moving qf3 was a mistake in the beginning.

You mama London

How many times have you destroyed a player while their queen sat out of the game on a5?? You kept expecting him to move his queen to Siberia. And when he didn’t you put your knight there???

I'd castle and Rook G1 to begin an expansion on the king side

g5!!

After a nice opening set up...black goes really wrong with 10...b5? He never really recovers after this. While it is easy to simply cite the engine...with Nfd7 or Nbd7 as the higher rated alternatives, IM Rosen correctly identifies the impending weakness of a move like b5 (the knight on c3 may reach an even better one on c5, although since the c-file was not open, it might have seemed like a reasonable approach. The problem is that even if black can run off Nc3 there is still the issue of e4, where white can simply flick in f3 and then there is no recourse for black but to start swapping pieces or play e5 (hard)...or even better (easier) c5. The triangle system, while solid, requires some vigilant, opportunistic work by black to get the better results. Black had to be ready after white misplayed the queen to f3. He wasn't.

Comments Few players have played the London system against me, an opening I'm not familiar with and not to fall into traps I tend to play something out of the ordinary hoping to confuse my opponent. After d4 d5 Bf4, I play e5 to attack the center. Just found out, this is the Mason variation and only found one game where this was ever played. Falke, Johannes vs Limberg, Philipp Any advice on this defense?

The video format of a large chess board and Eric's small talking head with no background clutter is great. Circa 2024, I thought it was his new format compared to last week's ugly format of Eric against a white wall & the chess board being the same size as Eric's video. But actually this is from 2020! His chess talk is fantastic but his video format has regressed into more ugly.
