English Opening vs Dutch Defense

[@jstkamukwamba3674]

14:37. I have never "met" anyone as modest and considerate as this guy. I mean he didn't need the rest of the world to tell him it might be inappropriate. WoW. And you'll notice this trend if you watch most of his videos. Great guy.

@Христо Луков have you ever heard of trypophobia?

[@ivosirakov1278]

Христо Луков не знаех, че ген Луков се интересува от шах

[@Josh-ed3sf]

its annoying. because his personality is the most likable in the chess world, but his chess content like the Stafford stuff, is the most aggravating

[@GeigerPancake16]

8:50 It's 50$...... Yet another distraction Lmaoo

[@truebeerus]

3:59 "I think Knight takes g6 is just crushing there"... 2 seconds later ... "My dog is so excited"....For a second there I thought how can a dog be excited for a chess game!

[@Murphskii]

That’s hysterical

[@jackweatherhead8171]

Damn Eric, that jacket looks good on you.

[@baptistebauer99]

If I'm your dad, does that make Nakamura your grandpa? Had to laugh at that xD You'll soon beat him Eric, just don't play bullet with your trackpad

[@nicholashartnett8444]

Thank you for cutting to the analysis and leaving it in Eric!

[@jstkamukwamba3674]

12:59 I had to click my screen to check if he really did it 😂😂😂. Bad manners Eric.

[@BigGov74]

Always funny when I watch on KZbin and he says “maybe this will go on KZbin” yes Eric it did

[@Factsnotfox]

I've recently started exploring the English Opening, and I'm just now seeing this video. Playing the Dutch against the English is very logical as it avoids many of the gambit lines the Dutch often runs into, or at least avoids book. I am particularly interested in the Botvinnik variation of the English, but it looks like that doesn't work against the Dutch.

[@paulo94xd]

So is Rxb2 the answer to the puzzle? Or am I missing something? (I was thinking: ... Rxb2, Rxb2 Nc3+, Kb3 Ba4#)

[@btsboy9347]

Yep that's what i got.

[@danno1800]

Thanks

[@kendriclin3290]

Right on track Paul Kruithof I got the exact same thing!

[@MichaelNeuss]

Puzzle Rush, Rook on the eight rank take the pawn with check, rook takes rook, then knight check, king has one legal move, then bishop on the side and check mate

[@PiracyAgreement]

Still waiting on you to get back. I've solved the puzzle

[@DraoxxMusic]

Missed a tactic @ 7:10 19. pawn takes with check, opening up the g-file 20 rook to g1, winning the queen

[@cnisp7198]

i mean even though you have to lose the queen in order for black to have optimal chances, you can just go kf7 after gxf5+

[@bregandaerth2529]

Awesome vid! I've learned so much from you. Thank you!

[@MjrLeegInfidel]

Bring in the dog, bring in the dog!

[@styot]

I'm still waiting.

[@carterd7720]

No I’m allergic

[@canwegetsubswithonlychesscomme]

At 7:17 didn't you miss gxf5 followed by rg1 if he doesn't move his king

[@MatsMatsuo]

i was so focused in bringing the knight to e2, closing up the diagonal to castle and f4 would come with a tempo, probably Eric thought the same, but this is good for sure, althought f4 still a nice move, i mean, there are a plenty of good moves for white

[@NortinhoFB]

Gxf5 Kf7 ??? What to do from there? Looks like black is escaping with his king for some pawns, looks winning still tho

[@canwegetsubswithonlychesscomme]

@@NortinhoFB you take another pawn on e6 with ckeck and then you attack the queen with the rook and you have an important attack with queen bishop and open g file rook

[@kendriclin3290]

@EricRosen for the puzzle of the day is the move Rxb2?

[@amrabdellatif9956]

I wanted to see the dog !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@kolymorph]

Amr Wahdan 🐶

[@chriskryptonite2481]

eric, im tryna figure out why black did not move his king to f7 to avoid easy checkmate

[@edmis90]

3:36 I want to make a joke about that natural line but I just can't think of anything :(

[@ParthParikhP]

At 12:22, why is Kf7 the only legal move? Why can't Bxf5?

[@Damnfam536]

because the king is under check by the g1 rook

[@ParthParikhP]

@@Damnfam536 oh yes i completely missed that thank you!

[@biilashkasra9636]

im always have problem with dutch but this game very good to me thanks eric . i enjoy and learn a lot , again thanks

[@chrisellis5860]

Looking sharp Eric and nice win

[@Tinybabyfishy]

Eric how do you keep your deadpan delivery? I need to know! I have a pretty dry sense of humour but like...I am in awe

[@yazkh9612]

Finally, English opening.

[@jamesw9930]

Good to see you back on KZbin

[@JorgeEFM]

After Bf4 Nh5, what to do with the Bishop? Bg3 then?!

[@vengo9283]

Nice hair cut Eric. Looking sharp and clean.

[@mikkeleriksenklokkerud9565]

omg that barking

[@chuy27arts]

I am an e4 player but you just make me want to play d4 or c4 so bad

[@kylecobb9982]

Your dog is wonderful. What's his/her name?

[@wildexperiense]

13:25 made me laugh, then I realised how retarded I am, and laugh again. (I laugh at first, thinking there are only 10 legal moves, nope there are 20)

[@abrahamovalle5320]

Love ur vids man

[@smrtfasizmu6161]

This is about how my games go when I try to play the Dutch. There are always so many weaknesses in my position, in this game you could see how Eric Rosen easily forced black to have a dumb backwards e pawn and win the e5 square, later he simply jumped with the Knight to the kingside and pushed the h and g pawns exposing how weak the squares near the black king are. I tried to play the Dutch several times and I almost always have a feeling that this can't be a legit opening, I always end up with weak squares in my camp that are hard to deal with. The only reason why I won some games in the Dutch is because crazy tactics would pop up (I once even saced my queen for mate in the Dutch). But still, I don't understand how is this opening even playable.

[@pretzelogic2689]

Hear the dog... Be the dog.

[@rezaamirpour562]

niiiiiceeeeeee dear rosen

[@eduardovasquez2689]

I'm a confused man but, I see Eric, I need to know nothing more.

[@deadlysilent7120]

Nice outfit what its called?

[@kneejo-tube]

Move 27: why does black not play ...Bxf5?

[@rsaman3639]

alpha male crushing souls on the internet, wish you were my dad

[@cerebros3671]

The English is one of my favorites.

[@BAD.BOUCHER]

Thank you

[@therbeeo5364]

I like the Dutch vs English!

[@3724paradox]

11. Ng5 would have been a crazy variation.

[@althompson3085]

Would like to take an English course from you.

i can hear youre dog, you are a great tutor :)

[@franciscomeza4381]

My favorite opening!!

[@amend_shadow2597]

Why didn’t black take the Knight with the bishop at the end he had 3 pieces defending.

[@carterd7720]

Amend_shadow maybe because it was checkmate?

[@mskcrc]

Yo Eric, the longer hair looks good! keep it!

[@enlightenedwarrior7119]

How close to gm are you sir?

[@drumetul_dacic]

Well, he lives in Saint Louis, and there are quite a few GMs around all time of the year, so I would say pretty close. Maybe 1-2km away. Or even less.

[@ipudisciple]

@@drumetul_dacic He didn't ask how close to *a* GM, just to GM, which is based in Detroit, so about 530 miles by road.

[@juanseberino5456]

Is your dog named blue? you sound really sound like the blues clues guy.

[@Wingspan183]

Damnit I wanted to see the dog

[@herrschnupke4044]

Dammit, I had to turn this off. My neighbor has a dog, who starts barkink like a kalashnikov as soon as he is alone at home. My neighbor sometimes leaves his dog alone in the morning. Haven't felt in love with this sound yet...

[@profd65]

I have a similar problem. I hate living in apartments.

[@honkskillet]

I feel bad for your neighbors. Go shut that dog up!

[@additionaddict5524]

Wait, Eric has a dog?

[@djsalud9946]

So you did do the analysis after all hahaha

[@cielregister8828]

this looks like a Paul Morphy game

[@leomarland3471]

Guys guys guys We all know the best opening is pawn to a3

[@dralawikawa4758]

Very nice game,,I wish you feel many roles in the English, opening, splitting English opening anglo variation,And english two king plezz

[@rustedcorpse]

I understand every line.... except "I can't show the dog. Have to respect the people who are allergic..." We know that allergies aren't based on sight right?

[@chengzhou8711]

I enjoy the Dutch defense against 1.d4

[@calebtaylor854]

Why no doggie in the vid. Much disappointed. Woof woof

[@eric-rosen]

Stay tuned for the next video!

[@GaryTugan]

hmmmm...would rather SEE the dog than hear his constant bark. Cool video otherwise!

[@amuricuh6143]

[@cocolee7644]

Creeper aw man

[@Knif3Point]

Your energy seems low.

[@stevezturner7052]

I can hear the dog barking the whole time, very annoying. Such is continue to talk about it. We are here for Chess.
