It’s so satisfying isn’t it! I was using it at around 900-1100 and no one was falling for it but finally got two people with it in the last couple days.
@@gardenmenuuu What I notice is that in the second move I can find nothing better than capturing that pawn and when he recaptures with queen and you attack the queen with knight, he doesn't put the queen back on d8 and puts it somewhere else so I usually exchange the queen's and I am usually more comfortable playing when queens are exchanged and I usually win
Your videos have helped me develop my own game and thinking. Mainly when you calclulate whilst drawing arrows is very helpful as i dont know notation that well. Thanks :)
Learned a ton! I play those first two moves when i'm black. I usually don't take the pawn because I'm skeptical. But now, I know what white can do lol Awesome video! Keep it up.
Recently played a game with a buddy who plays 1e4, d5 regularly. The b4 trap was devastating, he was totally lost in a few moves. Awesome and very easy to understand instructional video!
Just came across this video. I had seen the technique on other sites, but I believe IM Rosen was the first I've seen to put it out. About the trap, I really like how you explain what happens if black does NOT fall for the trap. Other people just march on as if it's inevitable for black to fall for it, but in many of my games I'm ready to spring the trap when the other person goes "off script". Nicely done, Eric. And very glad you kept at it and continued making videos.
Wow I just wanted to know how to play against the scandi and this was the first video when I searched. Crazy I just stumbled on Erics first instructional video. I love this guy and he inspired me to start chess a couple years ago and I played the Stanford gambit almost exclusively my first couple years because of him.
Omg. Was just looking for this since it's the most forceful London killing defense and I need to learn how to address it. Had no idea this would cause me to stumble into your first ever video. Way to go in building up a strong following!
Hey Eric. I already watched a lot of your videos and love the stafford gambit (even if everyone seems to know about this days :D ). I have an Opening request: Can you make a video showing the Max Lange Attack and/or Italian italian koltanowski gambit? Would love to see what you think about it and hope you know some lines here I was not aware of. Have a nice day!
Great video. A guy at my club regularly plays Scandinavian. Please note opening videos/opening traps. "Crush sicilian with Nc3" a personal favorite of mine.
Good video and explanation. If there is an opportunity, i look forward to seeing your other video on Scandinavian for White against Black playing 2. .. Nf6 followed by 3... c6. I like to understand what is white's plan. Thanks
Well done Eric if it is ur first video then 10 out of 10 you have explained the easiest way to counter this opening . How about becoming my mentor ? I am eagerly waiting for ur next video😊
Knight A6 completely prevents the fork threat which is unaddressed in this video. I'm my opinion, this is probably the most common response. Whats the best play for white in that situation?
Could you cover some ideas behind the main Fried Liver deffence line? I know the d4 push is crucial, but after the Bb5+ pawn exchange, I always hate the position. Thanks!
Sure! I actually covered an interesting line for black against Fried Liver in a recent video on the STL Chess Club RUclips Channel. It's called "Beat Fischer, Karjakin, & Kummer." I may make video expanding further on the options for black since there are a good deal of complications in many lines.
Hello Eric, I was looking for the most tricky response to the Scandinavian and I found this video very interesting, but I wondered if I can actually apply this idea to a correspondence game. I’m asking because unlike any other time control with the correspondence format you have more time to ponder your moves and your opponent would have more chances of refuting this idea. Greetings from Dominican Republic 🇩🇴🙏🏻
This didn't even get recommend to me. I searched up a counter for the Scandinavian defense and saw you pop up. After clicking on the video I hear the words "welcome to my first ever instructional chess youtube video". So cool to watch this now.
What if at 2:43 black plays Qe4 and checks? To me it seems that black can make the time to move the king to D-file and thus breaking the threat from the white knight.
I know this is a bit late, but I think the check isn’t that scary and you can just block it and the queen might still be out in the open afterwards. Plus, you will get slightly more development.
Oh wow I was just looking for videos on how to play against the Scandinavian and this popped up, I though it was a normal video until I realized it was his first instructional video.
Gothamchess just dropped an in depth guide to the Scandinavian where black plays queen H5, so now almost every one of my 1300 games is people playing this opening. Really glad I found this early video by one of my all time favourite chess guru's!
Nice channel. Subscribed! Could you go into early game sicilian traps maybe? I'm kind of more interested in what I should NOT do as black in order to avoid traps, actually.
There are tons of traps in the Sicillian for both sides! What variation of the Sicillian do you play? I'll look into compiling the most common traps into one video.
Hey I've been playing the open sicilian. Mostly the dragon variation because i like I fianchettoing my black square bishop as black. But I noticed after 1. e4, c5 2. Nf3, d6 alot of opponents respond with 3. Bc4 then I'm quite not sure what to do... Also thanks a lot =D
My opponent played Knight to a6 :( I lost on cause I couldn't remember what to do. I remembered you telling this trap briefly in a St Louis lecture, so I googled, and I was surprised to find this was your first video ever. I have said this a million times before, will say it again, I love you and your content!
2 things. 1. I almost never see QA5 be played. I always get checked and move my bishop. 2. Knight A6 seems to stop this dead in its tracks Can anyone help?
Ahhh how far we’ve come lol also it’d be funny if instead of introducing yourself as IM, you say ‘hi I’m Eric. I’m good at chess.’ Edit: REALLY good at Chess.

Eric, I was introduced to you through the st. louis chess club videos. you're one of my favorite lecturers. Please keep making videos! Thanks, Matt C.
Same!
(he did)
I have watched this like 5 times because everytime I face the scandinavian I wanna use this trap but realize I have forgotten it.
Same. Just lost by messing it up
Samw
"I'll be putting out a lot more videos similar to this". Yes Eric, yes you will.
Watched this. 30 minutes later finally someone played into it and he immediately blundered the king and rook fork.
‘I’ll be putting a lot my videos similar to this…’ 4 years later and he kept his promise and then some!!

Woaah!!! That actually seems legit response to Scandinavian 🔥❤️
I just started playing the Scandinavian. This is good to know!
I'm loving all the tactical traps on this chess channel. Thanks. I put this in the engine analysis and found that it's called the "Leonhardt Gambit."
Wow, I made an organic search for a good response and it was your first vid ever! So cool. Very good moves.

Thank you!
from this, to "Oh no my queen !"
Very useful video indeed!
5 ... na6 just solves everything
Nope, white's development with the bischop still continues leading into a very weak position for black
Good video and explanation. If there is an opportunity, i look forward to seeing your other video on Scandinavian for White against Black playing 2. .. Nf6 followed by 3... c6. I like to understand what is white's plan. Thanks
He kept his word respect ✊
Great video & opening trap!
Can you please make a video on your most played openings for both black and white?
Well done Eric if it is ur first video then 10 out of 10 you have explained the easiest way to counter this opening . How about becoming my mentor ? I am eagerly waiting for ur next video😊

4:50 and this sweety is gone 😂😂
Hello chess friends, this is Jeetendra Advani and you are watching Chess Talk.
My friend loves the Scandinavian. I am watching this at 9:30pm for a tournament tomorrow.
How did you do??
Knight a6 stops it dead though
Lol I was just looking for videos for white facing the Scandinavian defense and I found Eric’s first ever video
This didn't even get recommend to me. I searched up a counter for the Scandinavian defense and saw you pop up. After clicking on the video I hear the words "welcome to my first ever instructional chess youtube video". So cool to watch this now.
Can you make a video for the London system?

The Awakening of the Legend
It finally worked 😂 felt reaally nice
Eric, what do you suggest against Na6 instead of Qa5 to stop the knight threat? I'm coming up against this more often than not when trying this line
LOL At the first game after watching this video I crushed my opponent with this trap. WOW TY Eric

Love it
What about 5. Ka6 for Black ? It defends the c7 square and counters the trick, or is there another trick ?
the genesis of the OG stafford terror
That was great! If the opponent plays Kd8, at least there is no castling and F7 is undefended
Great trap, helps a lot in bullet
This is where it all starter
I would love to see him bring his up five years later to see how it's developed
oh my! i can't believe i found eric's first video by accident!

How do we respond if they defend with Na6?
Yeah what do you do ?
Pretty good stuff, but what do you do if black's 5th move is Na6 instead of Qa5?
Maybe a bishop counterattack with ba3
thanks a lot yaar superb graet graet you are tehbest today you are gorwning as ayoutube chess youtubeer sir superb thxxx
Welcome to the good stuff.. :)
Eric the BEAST
What about Na6?
Cool...looking for info on Scandivian and find your first RUclips!
interesting, and well found unpredictable cool trap!
Pls do a video on Phillidors defence from white perspective
What is the name of this program plz?
2:32 black can just go Na6 and it prevents the whole gambit, why is qa5 the best move? After na6, white goes rb1 and the queen just moves
Yeah Na6 also feels more natural because it develops a piece and neutralizes the threat.
This is what i thought. What do you do if he does this?
I’m going to be in a chess tournament this Saturday and I looked this up since I play d4 and….
Got your first instructional RUclips video lmaooooo
This is so cool. I just put "punish the Scandinavian" in the search and it take me to Eric Rosen's first instructional video!!!
But what if black defends the c7 pawn with knight a6?
Wow 6 years of excellence
As a very low rated player I've seen this counter to the Scandinavian once and it wrecked me. Now I'm here learning what to do if I face it again lol.
i came here to because levy just put out a video on the scandinavian so a bunch of people are probably gonna play it
same😂
I'm here 2 months later because I played 4 in a row yesterday
Might seem like a dumb question, but what ifthe king doesn't take the bishop?
Can you please tell me what software you're using in this video? :)
Chessbase!
Could you cover the bird please?
2 things.
1. I almost never see QA5 be played. I always get checked and move my bishop.
2. Knight A6 seems to stop this dead in its tracks
Can anyone help?
@@coleschemistrychannel4172 Knight A6 is to prevent the trap on C7 from working
@@AgentFlea Oh yeah lol. I must have been drunk
Wouldn't the more natural move for black on move 6 be something like Nf6?
This looks like the lateral ICBM variation in the Tennison gambit lmao.
Maestro, what if Black King doesnt take on F7?....but goes to say D8 etc.
What about if they defend with knight A6???
Ahhh how far we’ve come lol also it’d be funny if instead of introducing yourself as IM, you say ‘hi I’m Eric. I’m good at chess.’
Edit: REALLY good at Chess.
In the final position what should white do if black plays c6 ? b5 and c4 are coming and it looks shaky for white.
tfw Eric Rosen refutes the Oldest chess opening ever known
On move 6, if black plays Nf6 or Nc6, then it stops all of your attacks...
With this variation what would be the possible continuation 1. e4 d5 2. exd5 Qxd5 3. Nc3 Qa5 4. b4 Qxb4
5. Nb5 Qa5 6. Bc4 e6 7. Bb2 Qb4
Rb1 and prepare to strike G7 with the bishop maybe? Then you have a way to capture the Queen
