[@MindFlowersDotNet]

Rosen is a top instructor, I really appreciate his pedagogy.

[@brabhamfreaman166]

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.

[@DavidEmerling79]

The London is a current fad. It's not a new opening by any means. It's not altogether a bad opening but there's a reason that it has spent so long in the dustbin. Such an early development of a bishop (before any knights) to a square that is not certain to be it's best location is a weakness, albeit small. IM Eric Rosen has a lot of personal success with the London System simply because he knows so much about it. He knows all the traps and subtleties. One can do that with just about any obscure/unpopular opening. For instance, if you study the Philidor Defense enough, and know some of its hidden intricacies better than your opponent, you can turn a passive and inferior opening into a true weapon. But it won't be because the opening has inherent strengths. Any opening that involves making moves by rote memory, regardless of what your opponent does, is usually a fairly passive opening. The REASON you can go into the same setup and pretty much ignore what your opponent does is because you are not directly challenging what your opponent is doing in the opening. It's like deciding that you're always going to play 1...e6 and 2...d6 as your defense to every White opening.

[@dannygjk]

[@nathanielpeter3296]

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.

[@wordkyle]

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.)

[@diosn6909]

Nice games and really loved the exclamations!

[@jonaskoelker]

At 43:45 I like the following plan for black: Rc8 then Ba4 then Rc6 and Qc7, ramping up pressure against c2. The hope is to tie down white's pieces defending that square-which white will do, but at the cost of not having them in attacking position. Then castle and maybe Rc8 if you can break through, or keep the counterattack options open if white attacks. Maybe advance a6 to a3 in the hope of promotion one day, and removing b2 as a potential escape square for white. Other ideas include trying to trade off the white-squared bishops and maybe attacking a2 via a rook lift.

[@videoze2351]

At 9:30, after Ne4, Bf7+! is intuitively and aesthetically the strongest move- perhaps a Triple Exclam. You don't need to check computer lines to validate. The idea that a human over-the-board will get out alive is nil. After Kf7 Ne5+ it's a punish-fest (with Qb3+ if Kg8). If Bf7+ Kd7 instead of Kf7, THEN Qa4 is absolutely crushing or even Ne5+. If after Bf7+ Kf7 Ne5+ Ke8, then either Qa4, Qh5+, or even Qb3 leads to strong attacking play. If after Bf7+ Kf7 Ne5+ Ke6 or Kf6 the writing is on the wall as the king steps deeper into the fire. The Tal-like intuitive nature of the sacrifice lies in the following preconditions to a successful sacrificial tactic: 1) Black is at least two tempi behind in development. 2) Black's king will have to go for a walk and will be doomed to a naked hobo existence while stuck in the middle of the board with open lines everywhere. 3) Even after the Bishop sac on f7, White will have 2 Knights, 1 Bishop, the Queen, and a Rook coming to d1 to attack compared to black really only having the Ne4 and the Bb7 to defend- the ratio of 5 attackers to 2 defenders is a no-brainer. 4) King Safety- While Black's king will always be in danger, after 0-0 or 0-0-0, White's king will always be safe. 5) Time- After the sacrifice Black will fall even further behind in development while White will finish development with tempo via moves like Qa4, Rd1, 0-0-0, or 0-0. 6) Even if White fails to mate Black, he'll have at least an extra passed pawn in the center and a strong central pawn phalanx as even compensation from a material but mostly positional standpoint considering Black's development deficit and unsafe king. 7) From a purely aesthetical standpoint, Bf7+ is a prettier move than the ho-hum Qa4. So, to sum it all up, play Bf7+ and not Qa4 and HAVE A GOOD DAY!

And intentionally sacking material is never a good idea at the lower levels.. We do that naturally..

@22:33 the best and quickest winning line (after White's Ne6+ forcing Kb6) is 1.Nd4+ Bc6 (Kc7 2.Nxb5+ forcing Qxb5) or Ka5 then R moves or takes on b5 forking black's K and Q and White is about to go up a Queen and 3 Pawns for a Rook.

[@MilkCheaks]

32:35 It is a mistake to capture on b2 after Nc3, Qxb2, you will have Nb5, Na6 as a response (to protect Nc7+) So white then plays Rb1, Qxa2, Ra1, Qb2, (Here you could ofc make a draw, but the winning move is:) Bd3, e5(?), dxe5, and white has it good.
