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.

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.

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

The London is the system that I want to master! Thank you for sharing, IM Rosen. This was a treasure trove of ideas.

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.)

eric killed it ! more of him please!

Very nice illustration ! Keep it up. Always knowledgeable as usual. Learning something from your video which helps to get new good ideas. !!

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.

It seemed natural play so I decided to learn more formal positions. Now studying how to BEAT London so I get keen on opponent‘s counters…

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.

Got all the questions about next moves right which is encouraging as I normally suck at puzzles.

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?

Figured out the Qa4 move, and now I feel like the love child of Magnus and Hou Yi Fan...
