How to CRUSH with 1.e4 | Chess Lesson with Hannah Sayce

14:08 It is called the Intercontinental Ballistic Missile variation because White's queen comes from all the across the board, from White's "base" to Black's "base", to capture Black's queen.

[@wreynolds1995]

That's not how I've ever understood it. An ICBM achieves it's great range by essentially being launched into space, travelling in "sub-orbital spaceflight" for some time, then re-entering the atmosphere falling back to Earth (on the enemy). In the trap, the Knight is the ICBM: Ng5 is the Knight going into "space" (seemingly doing nothing important on g5, not coordinating with any other White pieces), and Nxf7 is it "falling" on the enemy.

[@InvalidSE2]

I believe it was due to the video by Bosnian Ape Society

[@trollar8810]

@@InvalidSE2 well yes lol

[@olivermccarthy456]

@@wreynolds1995 you can try to be smart all you want, that's just not correct in the slightest. its name comes from the Bosnian Ape Society, a youtube channel that originally uploaded the video that popularised the trap.

[@wreynolds1995]

@@olivermccarthy456 Okay, but why did Bosnian Ape Society call it that? (Aside from "because it was funny" - there were plenty of other funny names to choose from, why does this one fit well?)

[@ramachandra776]

Ding and Nepo are eagerly watching this video to add new ammunition to their arsenal . 🙂

[@PratyayDey]

Imagine the Inter Continental Ballistic Missile in Astana Kazakhstan.

[@waskepfc5945]

Yeah

[@f.d.3289]

hahahaha boooy on that level they know all these lines inside and out

[@johns6795]

Rosen is a great teacher. Quick and to the point. And Hannah seems to have some of the same troubles as I do with the Sicilian, Caro Kann and Scandi. Although, I am now more successful against Scandi and have found some success against Caro with fantasy variation. Sicilian I still play of the seat of my pants to get opponents off main lines...

[@t19563]

I play the wings gambit against Sicilian and French. Both opening are similar and wing gambit works against both. Infact they are so similar you can transpose to Sicilian wing gambit against French and vice verca.

[@nicros6163]

Just the lesson I wanted. Just was looking to find some of the videos of yours to play against Scandi. Thanks

[@JayVicky007]

I just discovered Hannah's channel. I hope she blows up soon. She's really good at chess and she seems like a nice person.

[@jrmdlt]

1:10:00 "A lot of people hate on the London, think it's boring but there's a way of playing it to make the positions real exciting, there are so many traps, if you are well prepared and a lot of people underestimate it too" Eric the prophet Rosen. Nepo clearly underestimated the power of the London

[@ElijahStormblessed]

My opening repertoire has a ridiculous percentage of Rosen-recommended lines and I love it

[@Speedster___]

Anyone have a video of the Danya trap at 1:00:00

[@pakasokoste]

Id like to know too

[@wahito1456]

I don't think it was a speedrun because Danya said he's yet to lose on a speedrun, or maybe it was a speedrun but Danya managed to swindle a win

[@usageunit]

I went through the SenseiDanya, OhMyLands, and FrankfurtAirport accounts in the opening explorer and none of them have the line played, no transposition I could find either. Danya doesn't even play 2...d6 in the speedruns usually.

[@pakasokoste]

@@usageunit so maybe the fide master tricked him outside of the Speedruns?

[@daisukiskrnbu5480]

21:00 Hanna: "I love sacrificing my queen." Eric: "Me too." *Sips tea*

[@archiecarlson3234]

Eric, you're my go to streamer for fun gambits to play. Thank you

[@phidybee3334]

So I just played the scandi, had my finger on the bshp sac trigger finger but I guess my opponent was wise to it as he moved his q to b6 to dodge the trap but to be honest I still got a natural attack going,was soon up a piece, Gona give the von popal gambit a holiday, thanks for sharing Eric

[@joasht.4821]

I love these instructive videos. Looking forward to more in the future. Much love Eric ❤️

[@NoobSharkey]

I remember that scandi gambit at the beginning back from some video on st Louis channel i think also by Eric, very cool idea

[@jeffstoiber]

can someone please link the Naroditsky game referenced near the end?

[@Chess_Improvement]

thank you Eric always helpful , among top chess content creators !!

[@sayafkhan748]

Thanks dear Eric for this great lesson!

[@manykindsofgeek5906]

Thanks, Eric, I WILL feel free to watch the whole video!

[@averelvirtue866]

Thank you Eric for sharing this..

[@justdavelewis]

I always go for 2. d4 against the scandi. Feels more like I take back control of the game. I like to play the William Graif line if i can get it

[@je55ejames31]

Awesome lesson, thanks Eric!! Could you also dive into the Reti Gambit for white once?

[@musashi.0]

12:43 what about g6 , there is no benefit from sac the bishop after g6 so?

[@theWebViking]

"I love to sacrifice my queen" "me too *smiles and sips tea"...but I'll never sacrifice you" - Eric "the Rizz" Rosen

[@pw7414]

thanks. i am going to try this with Nelson

[@f.d.3289]

I really love this video... What I really love about Eric is that he's a decent, calm and truly nice guy, but he shows his evil side in his chess... just like me, frankly, only that i still blunder stupidly xD

[@pepcore]

Does anyone know which game they are talking about? Where Danya played a 1200 (the smurf FM) On what speedrun was it? I would like to watch that game 😁

[@osychenko]

In the variation of Tenn. gambit with d5 there's a move Be3. Seems like a simple developing move. Then IF black proceeds to attack the knight in the next move, you can do the same trick sacrificing the knight on f7, and if the king escapes on e7, you do Bc5 check, and again the queen is lost.

[@scottgodkins2017]

I’m totally nervous as hell playing someone online. It’s strange and I haven’t been able to overcome it yet. Played in person a little bit, and much less nervous for some reason. I need to research the psychology of all that.

[@GoodmanMD]

Highly recommend then roussou gambit against 1e4

[@JonnyD000]

You and Levi once played against each other in Chatarunga, I would love to see you two play against each other in Shogi or Xiangqi.

Dang, Eric hangin' with chess beauties lately: Anna and Hannah! Thanks for uploading your instructional vids. They're very useful.

[@Speedster___]

Where is that bartholmew game trap from?

[@pianissimo7121]

Eric, will you recap game 6? Cause you know London opening being played at literally the highest level

[@scionli]

Also it was the first time in WC history that the London was played

[@pianissimo7121]

@@scionli whoa really? That is so surprising. Sure nowadays London is considered drawish but 30+ years ago was London not considered good even then?

[@josetrisan8646]

as an amateur, this video means everything to me😅

[@captainteror]

What happens in that first gambit after Na6 defending the pawn? Black has played that move every time I've gone for it

[@joshualandry3160]

The Tenison gambit is much better off the Reti opening because it gets people out of their prep.

[@thecakeredux]

The laugh about the dad-joke of the variation name was as contagious as anything.

2. f3 Scandi is funny, you could get oh no my queen similar to Stafford

[@Victor-ji1rz]

Candid question, but what does it say about me if I find all the moves eric asks before this person yet am lower rated by 300 points

[@wholepbondaritova6155]

It says you are more familiar with those kind of trappy lines. I think it speaks more about Hannah (maybe the pressure of being on a much bigger chess channel, maybe she had a few), she shouldn't struggle with such simple tactics.

[@MagnetManReviews]

@@wholepbondaritova6155 Honestly watching Hannah's streams I just think she gets nervy probably does see the moves but when you're talking to an international master you don't wanna say anything that looks stupid

[@XYZ-zn6qz]

She‘s just really underrated. She said she was 2000 online after all so she‘s definitely better than she seems Not really that uncommon for otb rating to be lower than it should be

[@hannahsayce1]

this was a couple months ago! I'm now over 1500 fide and around 2200 online :D

[@gp2776]

2200 online blitz cc will easily be at least 1800 fide. But I've seen she is from Australia so maybe not lots of fide events etc idk

Why does she acts like shes dumb shes clearly good at chess she is 2200

[@pakasokoste]

Yeah exactly, like at 22:28 onwards. I'm like 1300 and I saw the mate with Nc7 very quickly, unlike her. That was very strange to me wtf.

[@hannahsayce1]

sometimes it is hard to see things when you are put on the spot in front of an audience. It's like if you're learning a language and someone says "alright say something in that language then" and suddenly you forget everything you know 🥲🥲. Or maybe that is just me...

[@raiedfadhil6248]

Ohh…Yeah…..yeah

[@TLOU_RareRealisticViciousPlay.]

Anyways thank you for the video very intellectual man and very good at chess I’ve learned a ton from this video. But again nobody calls it the scandi just like nobody calls the Sicilian the Sicili. If we all started to do that to sound cool then what would be the point of them even having names what if we cut it down even more and call it the ani sounds silly right ? Anyway thanks

[@TLOU_RareRealisticViciousPlay.]

It’s called the Scandinavian defence not the scandi I’ve never heard it be called that in my life. I find it strange how you don’t call the inter ballistic missile defence the missi. Or the Caro Kann the cari. I don’t know if you think it sounds cool or something but it kind of just sounds like a mistake. Just call it what it is like you do with literally every other opening no need to change it 😂
