      It’s not unselfish because he is getting paid... and there is nothing wrong with that, he should be paid as a content creator. I think he’s very nice guy and generally nice to ppl but there are times when he is streaming in which he comes across a little full of himself while playing much lower rated opponents.

    Your demeanour is very calm, you explain chess in a way that is easily understandable. I always want to watch until the very end. It'd be really cool if you could do more lectures on your own channel. I'd be tuned in for every single one.
    Im just a 1500 player, 1600 on a good day. I use the London system quite frequently in my repertoire, and fail to notice some of the subtleties which you lectured on today. I've watched this video 3 times thid week, and seem to be having more success playing it.
    Thanks for all of your insight, it has been really helpful. Looking forward to hearing many more of your lectures.
    If you give private lectures via skype or face time, let me know!
    Thanks.

  • @zanti4132
    @zanti4132 3 года назад

    In the Robson game, since White is a piece up, can he try sacrificing a piece to get the rook out of his tomb? For example, in the position at 54:29, I'm thinking play Ra3 with the idea Bxc4 followed by Rxb3 and the rook escapes.

  • @jonshive5482
    @jonshive5482 4 года назад +3

    This is perhaps the best Eric has presented. There's nothing like describing your thought processes while you were playing the game. Downside of course is other top players may gain an advantage, as IM John Bartholomew has learned. Anyway many thanks.
    Btw at 18:20 what would happen after White's Qc1?

    • @TheJacklikesvideos
      @TheJacklikesvideos 4 года назад +1

      nothing really. play something like g5 or even b3 completely ignoring it. everything is covered and if black wants to trade off the queen for a piece, let them. they can't follow with Qe3 because it's not defended and your queen takes for free.

  • @koushikde6869
    @koushikde6869 5 лет назад +2

    Great video with nice lessons about some tricky lines and traps. One thing I didn't understand in the final game, and I don't know if I'll get any elaboration here, but still want to ask hoping for an analysis. Clocked at 51:33 of this video (final game), after Black plays bxc4; White goes for the move a3. But instead it seemed to me there was an instant move for White as c7 which wins the Rook at a8 on the spot (Bxa8 or xb8 plus Queens if White moves Rb8, also Rd8+ fails for White because xd8+ plus Queening which is also a Mate in 2 for Black). So either way White should be pretty fine and have a comfortable position to play since that Light squared Black Bishop would be stuck nearby to guard Queening square C8 for the rest of the game after losing that Rook on a8. Am I missing some obvious move or was it really a Blunder from White? Can someone please explain it?

  • @bveencamp3538
    @bveencamp3538 7 лет назад +1

    I would like to know why at 51:32 you dont play c7 with the white pawn. You are almost guaranteed to not get a queen out of it, but itt wins the black rook no matter what.

    • @SlowedReverbMafia
      @SlowedReverbMafia 7 лет назад

      I thought of that too but then I saw Ng4 threatens the fork on Nf2 winning a pawn + rook; unfortunately, that isn't quite good when white moves the rook out of the way. They other idea is Bg4+ giving the rook room to move to safety or possibly even attack the pass pawn and ultimately winning the pawn which isn't favorable for white.

    • @bveencamp3538
      @bveencamp3538 7 лет назад

      Miguel Oyler-Castrillo thats why you move the pawn first then the rook forcing the same position. Say if pawn c7, then knight f4, rook e1 still leaves black rook hanging with no compensation.

    • @SlowedReverbMafia
      @SlowedReverbMafia 7 лет назад

      again if c7 then Bg4+, white has to either move his king or block with bishop thereby giving black a tempo for the rook to escape and either move elsewhere, blockade the pawn, etc. So basically Bg4 check is the only thing keeping black from this disastrous situation

    • @eric-rosen
      @eric-rosen 7 лет назад

      Correct! c7 will simply lose a pawn to Bg4+

    That's nice. In the first game at 16:06 I would have spent some time though in the position after you played 16... Rhe8 because it wasn't really clear to me at first why white can't just play 17. Ne4 there. It looks nice, forking the queen and the bishop, trying to eliminate one of the main causes of white's headache, but it turns out black can just sac the exchange and have an absolutely crushing attack against the king: 17... Rxe4! 18. Qxe4 Qxb2 19. Rd1 Nc2+ 20. Kf1 Rxd1+ 21. Bxd1 Ne3+ and white has to give up the queen to avoid immediate mate.
