I turned it off and then listened to Sammy the Bulls podcast while watching.

This is an amazing lesson with a very cool format, where Andrea can make regular questions that we the audience would normally make, and to the people complaining about her voice, go outside, meet some people, you'll realize that some people have different, maybe louder tones to their voice and different ways to express themselves... And still are cool people... So stop complaining so much, loved this collab, keep it up Eric and Andrea!

thank you SO much for this video, as it is pretty rare to find these kind of "interactive" courses online (meaning where a master actually teaches someone in front of them, instead of just presenting like some kind of powerpoint) and as a London player, it feels good to see some recognition of the beauty of this opening

@@paulgoogol2652 Really? There are a few lines in the QGD that are quite tricky to deal with. Both white and black have a lot of options to play and coordinate pieces. I guess i hate facing the London because of its bland and simplistic style because I don’t find the London as an opening that plays for an advantage for sure. I follow Sam Shankland’s repertoire with the black pieces when dealing with the London coincidentally because at the very least black is equal and they have easier play.

Not just for the content, but for Andrea’s energy and Eric’s eternal patience. They both have top level channels and i wish them all the best.

collab lessons are extremely entertaining! Would normally never watch a 1h chess video but the energy and synchronicity here is very nice

Only 20 minutes in and this is awesome. I learned the basics for the london and this video is opening my eyes to how deep this system can really get.

Been looking to switch it up with my London. This was fantastic content!

Thank you Eric Rosen, really appreciate all the your contents you have been creating. This one really tops as it helps players like us who are in between beginner and intermediate level.

Those coaching videos are so instructive, thank you very much for the good content.

Great videos on London system! Both content and Erics way of presenting it are very much appreciated! Looking forward for Erics next videos about London!

Eric, superb coaching on the London and even better interpersonal technique with Andrea. I like the way you actively engaged her in ways that kept her on task. Well done!

Thanks for the editing work you put in here. It shows, and is much appreciated.

I just started watching but I can already say that it's a video I dreamed of. Qb6 makes me crazy as a London player. Huge thanks to Eric.

Eric, I love that you are pointing out weak squares and how to take advantage of them, this is something that I am working on.

These are great lessons. I'm killing it with the London, and going to watch the last one with you guys published.

I've used the Ba6 trap and I can say this is my favourite line with the London opening and i was so happy to learn and use it.

Eric is so nice sharing all his secrets to everyone Love❤️ from India

Cool to see Eric teach a variety of ways of playing the opening rather than just to play the same system over and over. It shows how some lines of the london can be pretty sharp and it also has a lot of flexibility. The setup against the kings indian formation is sort of transposing into the 150 attack pirc, a great setup against fianchetto structures. I've always really liked the Samisch kings indian though. It has this plan of Qd2-Bh6, queenside castling or even keeping the king in the centre. I think having the pawn on c4 is pretty strong since it supports a d4-d5 push - forming a strong pawn chain and winning connect 4. Also c4-c5 in some positions, putting pressure on d6, even as a pawn sacrifice to open the c-file and weaken e5. f3 supports e4 and the g4, h4-h5 pawn push and allows the bishop to sit comfortably on e3 where it can't be harassed. After 1 d4 Nf6 2 Bf4 g6 3 Nc3 3 ...d5 is a strong response, going for a grunfeld setup. It prevents e4 and is stronger when there is no pawn on c4 to contest it After 1 d4 Nf6 2 Bf4 g6 3 Nc3 Bg7 4 e4 4 ...c5 is also pretty good, and interrupts the Qd2-Bh6 idea. I think having pawns on c4 and d4 is just very strong in pretty much any queen's pawn opening and gives you more options in the long run. I am just a beginner but that's my impression haha

I really appreciate the efforts you take making informative content

Another great educational video. These are my favourites. 👍

Andrea Botez is so wise. She catches all the nuances that Eric speaks in his lectures. Such as Bringing up how this is a "Novelty in the London" as being part of a strong refined history. She picks up alot from just a little bit of information. Truly Insightful.

I agree with you Andrea, it is so hard to know when the right moment is to break open the center. I have been studying this and it has improved my game tremendously.

Best coaching video I have seen in a while!

Loved this session.

I really like the video. Very well organized and really interesting content.

Thanks I love the london system and I learned lot from this video great content

best video you can find for london preparation ...😍🙌

Great one

most instructive hour of my life.

do you have more lessons about london system? thanks.

At 2:45 Nd2 is what i play, and also Carslen's preferred line. I play Nf3 on the 1st or 2nd move if i play the London, because i don't want to enter an exchange Caro-Kann with 2. Bf4 2. c5 3. e3 3. cxd4. I also like to keep more options open, and 2. Nf3 is more versatile. In the position in the video, if Qb6 you just take on c5, and it's not really a typical London, but it's more pleasant for white. That's just what i play, but i just thought i would share it Edit: I wrote this comment before i watched the rest of the video, because i know Eric usually plays 2. Bf4, but he covers it in the video

excellent eric!!!

Thank you!

Wow!!! Just did the Rosen Trap!!! Bishop A6!!!

This is beautiful chess at display it is so satisfying to watch.

Thanks Eric! I'm a London Player and learned a few things.

Idk why KZread stopped recommending your videos in my feed. This was an awesome lesson.

Eric's voice is so as satisfying ❤️

That Ba6 trap has blew my mind! I've played the London for over and year and never even considered that as a move - probably explains why I'm 1600 and Eric is 2000+ lol! Thanks, Eric and Andrea!

Hi sorry i'm pretty new, when you say "engine", whats the exact engine / website you use ?

So good

@Eric Rosen when do you use this engine you speak of?

Wow, I saw the tactic way before Andrea, I must be a master.

Big fan sir

I'm a bit confused. What's wrong with pawn A6 to threaten bishop. In multiple scenarios that would end bishopmthreat and force exchange, right??

At 38:00 you should play kc3 so you can play a3 to trap the queen effectively

@ 10:08 if they castle you don't want to leave the fork because after Nxd4, White is still better obviously, but White ends up with tripled pawns and an awkward Bishop and Knight. Bxc6/Bxa8 is much cleaner. (Even Qxc6 is cleaner.)

38:05 What do you do if cxd4? After exd4, black plays Nd5 and the engine shows the best move is Bc1. Seems like black is better here

I wish I could go back in time before Eric had any sort of streamer/youtube career and just hire him as a coach to teach me a better form of the London. I used to play it and then moved on because I just wasn’t getting what I want out of it and it wasn’t until this boom of chess content online did I realize some of these other cool ideas and ways to play the London. I learned it as a kid without many resources or any sort of online chess content and I really learned the boring old set up the same way every time basic approach

hey! i have question.. what to do when enemy bishop goes to Bf5 and at the beginning black didn't play C5?

this video is awosome 🙃

botez provided insightful feedback. she's a valuable cohost imo

great!

19:11 I think black has Bxa2 here after c4, and whichever piece you take back with, Bb4+, and white either has to move the king or block with the knight, but then Ne4 from black and you can’t defend the knight

I have a question about the ba6 trap. What if black plays Rb8?

What if Queen B6 during the Ba6 trap, after Ba6? Went over the line on the analysis board and it looks like black is -3.5 in that variation.

Yeah... High level stuff!!!

Does this Qa4 Bb5 trap still work if they don't play c5?

im 30 seconds in and this is intense, Andrea actually let Eric talk/teach... Together this solid commentary so far... 1:15

24:52 - Why can black not just play Bxc5? The only thing I can see is that White could play Nb3 with tempo and then look to jump into d4? Or just play e4 straight away again? But if e4 was coming, why not just take the pawn back anyway? I have a feeling its more to do with my first suggestion, but I could be overlooking something as I’m not that strong of a player hahah

YES

23:05 - why does'nt black Queen take pawn a2?
