Beat Good Players with the London | Games to Know by Heart - IM Eric Rosen

This guy is a very good lecturer. Better than many gms.

Eric the IM has beaten: Magnus, Hikaru, and Fabiano, he needs to go easy on all the super GM's

Fun fact: Eric has a 66% win rate against GM Magnus Carlson. Not a joke.

I wasn’t a fan of Rosen's early lectures: looking back, though, I think he has really grown into this senior instruction role. It's nice to see a young, talented, knowledgeable player mature into an excellent teacher. His preparation was always exemplary, but when the audience failed to fully engage, historically he came off as a bit awkward and isolated. Now, however, he just resorts to his strengths: prep, tactical and positional acumen and an all-around nice guy now fully in control of his sessions come what may. This video is another lovely example.

Just played this and immediately beat a computer level I have been stuck on for awhile, thank you.

The first game was absolutely beautiful. I’ve been trying to experiment with gambitting pawns for initiative and I learned a lot from your game and enjoyed it thoroughly.

So many teachers fly through moves that they understand but beginners or even intermediate do not. You understand the small structures and are able to explain their relevance. I love watching you teach. Thanks!

London became so popular these days that it has lost it's surprising effect, but the system itself is still brilliant, simple and deadly.

Rosen is a top instructor, I really appreciate his pedagogy.

i love how happy he looks explaining the trap and such really made it much more enjoyable to learn it :) love u eric!!

Thank you for a beautiful presentation of the London. It was very clear and concise---Made simple and easy to follow. Eric Rosen is an excellent teacher.

It's true that many high level players are not good lecturers. Eric here is an exception! Well done presentation.

The London System is hatefully annoying. I'd like to see a video about how to play AGAINST this thing.
