You're a nice dude man, keep up with the good work for our huge semi lay community. I got to your videos through watching Ben finegold's streams a few months ago and I just devoured almost all of your content. Congrats for winning against carlsen, let's hope caruana does the same multiple times. Keep up with the good job 😊
Actually black was in trap after white played c3 2:12 you should've captured the knight Bxf3 immediately because white could've simply played Bg5 and trapped black queen and Bxf3 is too late at this point black will simply play Qd2 protecting his bishop + trapping black queen at least black would lose a piece here if he knows how to react correctly like an engine after committed a blunder move Bd6 2:28 which looks fine first
Oh at around 2:31 Bg5 and you lose the Queen 😂 Bxf3 is met by Qd2 simply protecting the bishop and Black is lost. This is a real common tactic in the Tarrasch French positions. I usally like going Ng5 in the Fort line instead of exchanging pieces as there are some very interesting tactics if black isn't prepared, so usally I meet this line after b6 and Bb7 and some people fall for it now and then.
Not quite. You move bishop to f4 and either you trade queens or he takes your bishop and you retreat the other bishop. This tactic works when the bishop isn’t on d6 though. That being said that line ends in black dropping a pawn with no compensation so it’s not exactly good for black but it certainly isn’t as bad as dropping a queen
@@Josieemon You have no idea what you are talking about. If Black plays Bf4, then White takes bishop on f4 with Bxf4, and if black then moves the attacked bishop away from f3, White then plays Bg5 again, and Black can resign.
At 21:00 I wonder if Rxe6 was the computer move or just a move that makes things more complicated. (Like a Tall move) Just seems like a blunder, considering the pin

hey Eric - really enjoy your videos. I would recommend maybe making your titles less obvious of the outcome of the game - as it's usually clear whether you've won or lost the game just by reading the title. Personally I like watching a game not knowing who will win.
It seems he mostly uploads games from twitch that were very interesting or that he won, perhaps if you prefer the mystery try and catch some of his streams
Thanks this was helpful. I was playing the birline in response to E4 but I realized if I want to play E5 I should know kings gambit and scotch theory. The French I think is a good alternative I try to play openings where I can get a good night vs bad bishop ending. I think I can do that now with this Fortnox variation. Thankyou.
13:23 I believe White could have played *16.Bg6!?* since after *16...fg 17.Re6+ Be7 18.Ba3* wins material. I actually thought that's why White played *15.b5* , to set up this trap.
What's going on here? At 25:03 near the end when your showing white winning the rook and you see black queen to D5... Ya... Bishop E4 rooks still trapped... Lol
2:30 BLUNDER. He could have won your queen with Bg5+ Edit: Eric your wrong Bg5 is not a blunder. It is a game winning move for him. I don’t know how you don’t see this.
The move immediately before it would have been a blunder with white because black could have taken d4. But after c3, and Bd6 black is just lost after 10. Bg5, Bxf3, 11. Qd2. Before c3 was played, black could have played Qxd4.
Eric Rosen Also in the basic form of the trap Qd2 is better than Qc1 because then if Qxd4 is played Bb5+ is a discovered check that wins the queen. The best continuation for black if he falls into the trap wins a knight, a pawn, and a rook for the queen.
I wouldn't mind playing you but I would -hate- to be watching you play me. I'd have to either ignore your suggested moves, thinking they were probably better than what I came up with, or let you basically play my end of the board into your traps.
Hey Eric consider putting some music with your videos because when your opponent is thinking or you are thinking and you aren't saying anything there is just silence.
eric bg5 is losing for black at eary stages of the quen superb superb black is totally lost in that position oliver new isright i also think this yaar bad game today

These videos are great, thanks for the content! I really enjoy your calm style of play and analysis.
Video starts at 0:00
Ambikeya Sangwan thx so much!
What would happen if :
10. Bg5 Bxf3
11. Qd2
Then black would be in trouble. Or am I missing something?
You are right. Stockfish says +4 for white
@@nihalzuhayar4676 You are both correct. 11. Qd2 protects the bishop on g5. White gets a queen for a rook and a pawn.

No black is not lost as after qd2 black can capture the d4 pawn with the queen
@@braydenabbott7266 Its defended by c3?
i saw that too, you beat me to the post lol

2:45 Bg5 and you can resign after nine moves already.
How about black played Bxf3?
Qd2 traps the queen
4:24 after bishop take on f3 queen c1 and white is winning
i think black can play bishop f4 and give back material to save queen
Then you simply take it with the bishop, and f3 is hanging AND Bg5 is still threatened. So p.e. h6 gxf3 and you're still down a piece.
2:30 "There's still a trap which exists...but I'll let him play a move first." Just in case the guy's watching Eric's stream.
At 21:00 I wonder if Rxe6 was the computer move or just a move that makes things more complicated. (Like a Tall move)
Just seems like a blunder, considering the pin
Rosen: I dont know many lines about this variation
*proceeds to play the Fort Knox
Thank you Eric!!! Greetings from Rome :)
4:24, no Mr. Rosen Bg5 wouldn't be a blunder. It's a winning move for White. After 10.Bg5 you're dead lost.
Isn’t Erics queen trapped at 2:45 if bishop to g5 by white
I was just going to comment that. I don't know why didn't Eric mention it.
I guess I’m 3 years late but he could’ve taken on f3

yes thx, exactly right and what i just analyzed :-) he trapped himself....
At 14:06 I yelled out "what about rook takes e6?!?!" in my empty house and then you paused and answered lol
At 16:04 why not knight to
d3 ?
At 12:01 does 16.Bxg6 work for white ?
If pawn takes on g6 whites gets a nice initiative, but after the bishop takes rook g8 is a good move i think
i like to breathe - Eric Rosen 2018

Makes me want to try the French Defense. Thanks!
At 2:34 wasn't Eric's Queen trapped If b-g5 was played? I do not see how Eric would have saved his Queen... Oh No?
Good job Rosen your videos are educational

interesting game. In my repertoire the fort knox is. Interesting to see how a chess master think!
Doesn't 10.Bg5 trap the queen????
What's going on here? At 25:03 near the end when your showing white winning the rook and you see black queen to D5... Ya... Bishop E4 rooks still trapped... Lol
If 10 bg5 bf3 what about 11 qd2? Doesn’t that pick up black’s queen?
Think the line would go:
Bg5 | Bf3
Qd2 | Bf4
Bf4 | h6
Im sure there is better but I dont see it...
@@dillonferreira3529 and after gxf3 black is down a piece, and can comfortably resign.
Why not 21..Ne4?
2:30 BLUNDER. He could have won your queen with Bg5+ Edit: Eric your wrong Bg5 is not a blunder. It is a game winning move for him. I don’t know how you don’t see this.

please keep playing French Defense !!!
10. Bg5 wins for White. Oh, no - your Queen, Eric!
You didn't even consider 11...a6 (keeping tension).
9.-Bd6??
It seems bad having your pieces trapped by being in front of your pawns.
bishop to G5 and Roasen loses his Queen - why was this not played?
Because he was playing some random patzer on the internet.
There's B:f3 removing the defender
2:30 Bg5 Bf3 Qd2 known trick in french lol
Yes I'm a fan
If Bg5 the black queen is trapped
g6 i salso a mistake eric due to bg6 hg6 re6
2:34 white can play bg5 and win the queen
Que verguenza de MI, perdido en la apertura 😂
Amazing. An IM that doesn't know Bg5 wins after Bxf3 Qd2/Qc1. And he thinks HE set the trap and even uploads the game here. Come oooooon.
🤯You're absolutely right! Didn't realize the inclusion of c3 makes a huge difference as there's no Qxd4. Lesson learned!
Thanks for the video as always Eric. Keep doing what you're doing. Lots of love from France 😘
still get a mess with white bf4
Eric Rosen Also in the basic form of the trap Qd2 is better than Qc1 because then if Qxd4 is played Bb5+ is a discovered check that wins the queen. The best continuation for black if he falls into the trap wins a knight, a pawn, and a rook for the queen.
@@rogerscottcathey Actually no, in that line Black is just down a piece for no compesation at all.
you need to grow a 'fro and get a pick.
You look a bit like garry kasparov (:

Hey Eric consider putting some music with your videos because when your opponent is thinking or you are thinking and you aren't saying anything there is just silence.
maybe it's hard for him to focus with noise? His ability to focus and be instructive is what sets him apart from other chess streamers.
