I've been a London player for several years now and gotten to the position at 2:36 many many times and I find using Magnus' strategy of leaving the bishop on f4 is most comfortable to play as well. I've seen some have a lot of success retreating to g3 and then enjoying the open h file with the rook, but black bishop taking on f4 and then pawn taking back leaves white with a very nice open e file right down the heart of the board. Sure, it costs a tempo to then move the kingside rook over after castling, but that's the same tempo gained from not retreating the bishop earlier to g3. If black then takes my knight on e5, I can recapture with the pawn and I'm back to having a fully intact pawn chain.

Thanks for helping me get back into chess

I love it when you do game analysis Eric. Wish you'd do it more!

Awesome analysis. I really love when you have normal chess content rather than chat challenges etc.

Love this video. I hope we will see more breakdowns like this of other peoples' games!

Great video Eric. Consider posting more analyses like these!

This was a tremendous game, and your commentary made it even better. Thank you

Great video, Eric! Appreciate how you analyze each step thoroughly. I subscribed and will be watching many more.

Always enjoy your instruction and analysis. The beauty of the London System is just how standard so many of the opening moves are, as you suggested. I've been in a very similar positions over the first dozen moves or so in Blitz games. Once he forced the Queen side castle, I think it really took him out of any plan he had, something that is paramount in short time games.

I enjoy you explaining games that you're truly fascinated by.

You explain chess better than any gm on KZread . Much love bro I learn a lot from you

Looks like Magnus has been studying some AI strategies which treat pawns as expendable if it pins the opponent's pieces.

Hi Eric, which chess site are you playing this on?

Welcome to Eric Rosen's new ghost-hearing show. Watch as Eric hears sounds from which origin he knows not.

I always knew that the leaving of the bishop on F4 is at tge very least decent :D

At the moment you looked up and said there was a sound in the ceiling i also heard someone knocking against the walls up my room

Eric constantly says down a pawn but also down a knight

What about this: after Qh7 (at 11:43) black captures the knight with ...fxe5, and after Qxg8 goes ... Bxb5, discovering the white queen from black rook at c8, while bishop is attacking white rook at f1.

Is this a novelty he could have saved for the world championships or is this only working with shorter time control?

@ravomino8088

3 жыл бұрын

The longer the time control is the worst the novelty is. The position isn't necessarily better for white, it's just easier to play for white, but the more time black has the less chance of making a mistake.

After White's b4, Black has e5 , giving back the pawn, which equalizes, given the opposite colored Bishops.

Eric, watching you play the Stafford has inspired me to play the Boden-Kierseritzky Gambit (basically the Stafford as white with a tempo up). The Wikipedia page says it's unsound, but the engine only finds 1 move to maintain black's advantage and 2 others that maintain equality, none of which look appealing prima facie. The only move to maintain advantage is f6! The computer may be able to play f6, but I consider that full compensation in any game below titled classical time format level. e4 e5 Nf3 Nf6 Bc4?! Nxe4 Nc3 Nxc3 dxc3 is the line to the starting position.

Had a 15 second unskippable ad with an annoying voiceover, so I muted it and went to another tab. Forgot about this video so it played all the way through. Now it's time to watch it with audio lol. Enjoy the double watchtime, Eric

I would have played Knight to D4, Knight takes then pawn takes queen takes, check with rook, block with Bishop or move king, Bishop to b5 with possibilities for Queen and dark square Bishop Although against a grand master I doubt it would be that simple, my rating is 1000 but I see this working in most rapid games Amazing video btw
