  • 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.

  • 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.)

  • Actually at 22:22 is mate in two, with Rc5+ either Kb8, Qd8# or Kd7 Qe6# Edit: Didn't see Bc6 as a defence but I'll leave the comment just to remember which is the best continuation for black (Even tho the actual best continuation is to resign)

    • At 18:22 when the black queen was pinned then black pawn should move from G5 to G6 kicking the white queen and then black wins white night if the white night won't give check to black king and then white queen would move to G5.

  • 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?

  • I'd love to see a lecture on the Stafford Gambit by this guy. It's such an unknown opening but SO overpowered. As a low elo I tend to blunder my pieces. But with the Stafford Gambit, I can blunder my knight or my QUEEN even, yet, I still end up winning in the next few moves! How crazy is that!

  • Wonderful video, Eric! I'm just wondering what kind of setup you play against an early ...c5, because there's not much theory about it. For example: 1. d4 Nf6 2. Bf4 c5 3. d5 (I guess) Qb6 and so forth
