[@tausifayman7525]

first time i have seen Eric Rosen play a game in real life

[@tank.4496]

Yup

[@awaiskhandc4302]

Same

[@yggdrasil9039]

This is wonderful. Clear view of the physical board and the clock, no commentary, and no fancy graphics to distract from the game. This is how professional chess should be presented.

[@johnvuillemot4805]

Erm....the fancy graphics do you mean a board to give us a better view of the action? Because if every game is presented like this I'm sure less people would watch chess

[@greenrico10]

I mean a camera that close would probably be distracting

[@Mickey007]

I happen to agree with your comment. Just enjoy watching the 2 people play their game, Without all the other distractions & talking. It takes away from the Game their playing & in it's self is rather a Huge DISTRACTION.

[@richardfredlund3802]

this is great, you can see the position and the clock throughout. no camera bouncing around just a steady view.

[@PawsOffMyPancakes]

25:16 You can hear Bobby Fischer move a piece.

[@Dortchskii]

I had a good laugh at that one

[@naudiatf2791]

[@terrancephillips1825]

I knew Eric was white when I saw the London

[@mahmoudsherif2062]

So not from the hand's hair?

[@ronnihammare9866]

is Eric Rosen doing Morse code with his eyes?

[@Peter7chess]

Evgeny Sveshnikov, Grandmaster and Theorist of Chess, Dies at 71 (R.I.P) , he made significant contributions to the theory of the game, particularly the openings, one of which is named for him.

[@fizikchy]

GM Sveshnikov. A historical character! I watch all of his videos. Thanks for this video @Rapid chess.

[@Grandcapi]

GM Sveshnikov, despite his age, showed a great technique and understanding. The a pawn was the hero..

[@JudePhilips]

the first time i actually followed through with every move and knew exactly what was going on!

[@milonguerobill]

This IS a high quality video.

[@ConfuzedFx]

The engine is still reading equal until eric plays 27. Rd3, which allows b4, trapping the queen and forcing a trade with a pawn sac. Black then enters a winning endgame.

[@cheesiechess3656]

Anyone here from Eric Rosen's channel for shouting this video out?

[@haveaseatplease]

Eric exaggerated a bit in saying that he got destroyed by his opponent...

[@ConcordMass]

@@haveaseatplease yeah lol i expected a complete positional space advantage/crush or a crushing attack. The attack wasn't really crushing lol

Interesting play against London system...worth further study. Thanks for showing this game!

[@milankotevski1663]

Sveshnikov casually dismantling Eric Rosen's pet opening with some offbeat sideline.

[@nabalienalien]

What was the offbeat sideline? I'm fairly new to Chess and have started playing the London.

[@johnvuillemot4805]

@@nabalienalien bg4 is very infrequent. Usually bf5 is preferred for black as it is a much stronger diagonal

[@aakhil6609]

What I observed in the game was : The enemy troops slowly approched a bit closer towards white's army with every single move and all white has to do was to defend from behind instead of attacking. Came from Eric Rosen's channel's latest video

[@emmanuelrodriguez1693]

Go check out ginger GM. he has good opening theory on the London...

[@dionlindsay2]

It's not an English opening as in the notes. That would be 1. c4. It is a London system as stated in the title.

[@farhadahmad5840]

Two key points I think, rook lift prematurely and good-bad knight exchange

[@vrusimov]

Upon initial inspection of this game, and noting the e5 square theme of the London, I thought (intuitively) that 18. Nxc6 was a mistake. Running it through Stockfish confirmed it. I think white had to be patient and wait with 18. Nd3...for either e5 or f4...as pawn moves always leave holes behind. Otherwise, I think that I would not have allowed Bg4 by delaying Nf3 until black either played e6 (unlikely) or put the bishop on f5. Small thing but a little more flexible. Tough game though. Black was well prepared it seemed...with Bg4 and Nge7 development to really go at the e5 square.

[@noone-qu5ec]

Najdorfa6 actually magnus plays the london like that... He delays nf3

[@strings1984]

I had a feeling both sides where pushing a feeling of zugzwang arround then.

[@TCS088]

What was that loud noise in the background? Sounded like gunfire or construction. Not a great setting for a chess game. Loved the camera angle showing the clock.

[@narayandejesus218]

Anyone here from Eric's stream or KZbin Channel's mention of this game? We could just rename this video: "The Systematic Beheading of the London".

[@bowie9998]

White should not take Rxf5, Qa5 instead. And if black captured the Rook by Rxe5 then exe5 by White followed by Rxa4 and advantage for white.

[@gmchessplay9043]

Trading his good knight for blacks bad knight was a bad idea...

[@byteZorvin]

I noticed the same

[@levivriens399]

What other options does he have? Doing nothing would lose a pawn and going back would just allow black knights to become better anyway

[@eziocornor5091]

He could have forked the queen and the rook, and have the e-file for himself if the black knight took the white knight of course

[@MJ-np8kg]

Not pushing g4 and having a great outpost for the knights to control e5 was a bad idea. why ? There is simply not enough firepower to the queen side.

[@gmchessplay9043]

GAME MASTER the object of the game is checkmate the enemy king. He’s playing white, he should be thinking offensively.

[@BREAKocean]

Glad to see the pioneer of one of my favorite openings is still in fighting form. I need to try out 2... c5 against the London one of these days

[@matijaslat2100]

lefthanded?

[@janolszewski6161]

At 16:31 wasn't Rh6 better? Holding the knight and preparing to push the f pawn. White rook would be displaced and there wouldn't be much room for second rook to play.

[@gmchessplay9043]

Not only that, it opened up mating possibilities on h2 when the pawn is pushed.

[@csabahalasz2637]

After Rh6 Re5 would have been even stronger.

[@paquinho12]

That happened because white gave up the center, an early f4 would have helped to mantain the tension and therefore stop black atack on the kingside..

[@richardsmith9615]

If anyone is wondering why Black can't win a pawn with cxd4 after nbd2, it is because cxd4 exd4 nxd4 nxd4!! Bxd1 Bb5+ and Black is lost. Might be obvious to some stronger players, but a subtle idea to less advanced players.

[@hubert6786]

Sveshnikovs hands looks so young, I thought it was hands of someone else.

[@strings1984]

Why Evgeny svechnikov not push e pawn, eh?

[@saadrizwan1501]

Review this game!

[@matthieuhowell5786]

I hear squash 😈

[@chesslessons8862]

Why didn't white resign after Nxg2? It is dead lost position and black has around 2 mins on the clock, more than enough for a GM

[@jurysavchenko3713]

ChessLessons There was no button "resign" there and white continued to play I mean.

[@CCyanide1907]

14:00 Qg5 was best move there or not?

[@Rapidchess]

[@kirklucas1332]

I can hear my Dad now! Is it my move? Oh! You haven't moved. My bad.

[@noone-qu5ec]

At 17:56 black blundered here I think... g3 would win th black ♞ because it has nowhere to go... I saw it while eric was thinking for 45 seconds. Am I missing something? I haven't checked the engine yet.

[@noone-qu5ec]

Nevermind black is winning after that

[@fizikchy]

Black replies g3 with fxg3 and opens f3 square for his knight.

[@danicorban8879]

If you go down that path, you will lose the rock at e5, after pawn exchange and knight f3. Not that difficult to see ;)

[@unbeIievabIe]

fg, then Nf3 with check if white takes with any pawn and R:e5 if white takes with rook on g3

[@unbeIievabIe]

I see now even a better response: Nf3+, if Q:f3, g4! and you lose the rook. If you go Kh1, N:e5

[@rodneychristian9834]

Eric, you played Nf3 too soon before black played e3. That allowed his bishop to become active ending in the exchange of bishops, which stopped your King's side attack. Wait for e3, then play Bf3. Play c3 instead. Wait.

[@andrewt8859]

(26:54) b4!

[@Hasan...]

Too bad he can't pre-move here :P

[@p.jhodeflea789]

10. Nf1?!

[@yggdrasil9039]

White played it way too conservatively in the middle game. A pawn push in response to Black's audacious g5 move would have been in order as well as doing more to open up the h file. Black played very well though.

[@Shiva13ish]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/gWSYk398brCSiKMm16s to me Rfe1 is Eric's first mistake ; he should've played Rae1 and retain the option of pushing f4, to stall black's onslaught and establish his knight on e5. He must have regreted this move at several points in this game! Great one though, perfect camera and very instructive game. Just when I thought black was going to play e5 he went for the kill with Nh4! The years haven't tamed the Sveshnikov beast!

[@jacobstern2083]

at 19:05 shouldn't Eric have taken the knight with his rook? Wouldn't that make the other rook undefended and at the very least he gets a free knight?

[@Sosa40706]

how can he capture the g6 rook?

[@jacobstern2083]

@@Sosa40706 If he took the knight with his h3 rook that would leave the f5 rook undefended. Then if black retakes the rook that just captured the knight, white can grab the f5 rook for free. If black decided to capture the e5 rook with his f5 rook instead, white could just recapture with the pawn with tempo on the queen, and after the queen moves white can simply move his h4 rook out of the way so it wouln't be captured by the pawn. At the very least its would be a free knight. Unless I'm missing something.

[@jacobstern2083]

@Nicholas Sergay oh yeah you're right. I didn't notice that

[@pragalbhkumarawasthi1708]

Why did he not play g3 at 18:58

[@PiercingSight]

Trades rooks, loses a pawn, he no longer has center control, weakens the pawn structure around his king, the rook on h3 is trapped (can't help with the center) and it's also now unprotected.

[@commonsense5852]

gm's blunder too

[@jdtoetpz]

It provokes nf3 check, forking the rook on e5. And if you take with queen, g4 forks the queen and rook

[@VeloTerminator]

Свешникову - брависсимо за монолитную партию. а Эрику минус=насколько ж не уважать соперника, тем более гросса, что двигать 10 ходов в уже давно проигранной партии, очевидно даже для второрозрядников. Куда котится шахматный мир?

[@hubert6786]

I belive that IM rosen made a mistake according to London system of course, he should play Sbd2 instead of Nf3 in the beginning. You can play Nf3 only when black play e6, so black white coloured bishop has no funky play like Bg4 or Bf5. He played Nf3 and after Sveshnikov Bg4 he was thinking, it means he was unprepared and confused. still disappointing that Rosen is not playing the best book moves in London, he was teaching how to play that system.

[@vladimirnabokov4414]

1) You can play Nf3 (there are different approaches about how to play the London) 2) It was in 2017, you can look how he won a Arena King by playing only the london with white pieces against strong players and by playing Nf3 3) That's not because you are giving lessons about a opening that you are invincible with it, there is middlegame then and endgame then ^^

[@hubert6786]

@@vladimirnabokov4414 Hey I aldo won a tournament playing only london but it was on amateur level with rating performance 2200. I was speaking by GM Simon Williams analysis and also my thought about classic al London. I Still Think that you should play nf3 ony afer black e6. Magnus carlsen also develops first his bishop on d3 delaying his kings knight. But thats only my opinion you can play whatever you wants. We are speaking strictly about opening not middle game or ending.

[@jeffscott5312]

His highest rating was 2610 in 1994. At age 69 (I think) this year, he will naturally have slowed down a bit - it happens to all of us. I wonder what your rating is - and what it will be when you are his age. I think you should do some research into his career. He is one of the legends of the game and deserves a bit more respect.

[@danicorban8879]

Booooring! No fantasy in these two. Just exchanging and moving neutral because they had no attacking strategy. Exchanging the bishop pair just after the opening, waiting for the opponent's mistake... booooring.
