Oh, this clears things up. I thought I was supposed to gambit the queen.
What do you think about the kings gambit my friend?
@@thecoolring6431 what else could it mean but gambitting the king
@@thecoolring6431 favourite opening if you really dont feel like playing
The Botez gambit is gambitting the queen, named after WFM Alexandra Botez
Botez doesn't play the Queen's Gambit & Vidith doesn't play the King's Gambit!
I could listen to you explaining trap lines for days on end
Me too! He has an uncanny ability to inform, entertain and make chess accessable to anyone each in equal measure.
In all my years of playing the Albin on lichess, I got the knight underpromotion trap exactly once. It felt so good.
Maybe your elo is too high... or too low...
@@Life-Sky obviously too high lmao
@@tasty9957 People at like 600 elo
1. wouldn't play the queen's gambit
2. wouldn't make all these natural moves that lead to fxg8=N+
3. If you're able to memorize even just this simple trap, you'd be beating them anyway
@@ziwuri that's what I'm saying
I always play Kf3 first to avoid all that insanity
This man might as well have traps for the bongcloud too lmfao
There's a funny line..
He does! It was just posted on his clips channel a couple days ago. lol
@@ChrundleKelly bruh
@@ChrundleKelly I would love if this would be called anti bongcloud on lichess xD
@@torben22.16 bongcloud reputed
Ah yes the advanced variation where you have your own knight in place of opponent's knight
lol
when your trap gets refuted, "Oh no! my Queen(s Gambit trap)!"
Once I saw one of your traps in an online game I said "sorry I watch Rosen too" and won the game after he replied "too bad"
that's awesome
Eric Rosen: *teaching chess to everyone*
Also Eric Rosen: “What do you call triangle with sides that all have different lenght?”
Today in a maths lesson, teaching scalene triangles a student asks “where are scalene triangles used?”
Will be showing them this video tomorrow
It is correct
triangulation is a technique that would come to mind as a useful thing that might excite them to know that they're building towards
both manmade and natural triangles exist might be a relevant statement for them
Minecraft speedrunners use triangulation. That might catch their interest.
Another example you could use might be GPS satellite triangulation
These videos make me play more creative even if I don't remember the traps.
@@ziwuri This is how I've been playing lately. It works really well for shorter games like blitz. Forcing the opponent to find the right moves even if I'm objectively losing.
i'm still waiting for the "oh no my queen, there's a funny line" techno remix
Sounds like a great idea :D
You're playing Eric Rosen, one of your favourite Chess content creators. As you make a move, thinking it's brilliant, you hear some distant words.
"Oh this is a pretty funny line."
There must be a video for positions to play "oh no my queen"
In the Stafford and the Legal trap, losing the queen for a forced mate.
@@lecobra418 r/wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooosh.... wow, you must be fun at parties
I an a 74 yr old novice.I learned a little bit about chess as a child like how the pieces moved and what the objective was. played a few games with family but no one knew any strategy so i am sure we would have lost against anyone who would have studied chess. kind of let the game go for a while but ten i got a friend who enjoyed the game. i know he has no rating but he and his family and friends played a lot of chess over the last 50 years so when we lived close we would play some and his experience proved out as he won most of the time. but as we played i got better and got it up to about a fifty fifty game. he says the way i play confused him as i was always agressive and he was on defense most of the time lol. truth is i dont know defense so i have to attack to have a chance. its a lot of fun and next time i see him i am going to try some of these gambits and see if he catches on lol. main thing for me is having FUN
In the first trap you can actually get away with only losing the knight c3 and then block the ensuing check with the bishop.
But after Nc6, White could play axb5 (pressuring the black knight and opening the A file for the white rook). I was thinking Bb7, Qxb7 and Ne7 (developing the knight and at same time protecting the rook with the Queen).
"It helps if you say oh no my bishop" HAHAHAHAHA
I should never have started playing the Queens gambit as a beginner, it's so complicated and there's soo many defenses, variations and traps 😅
Very happy I ran into your channel! Excellent commentary and great videos. Thank you!
Woah nice Eric perfect timing, just started playing against a new friend who plays the queen's gambit and these are some nice weapons I'll look into more.
Spoiling my secrets, LOL. I've caught so many people with the Albin trap. So many fish assume you can only promote a pawn to a queen. -adfost8
This is the type of content I enjoy the most! Thank You :) Huge THumbs UP
I love your videos, so informative and useful, keep up the good work
Hi Eric! I just saw this video yesterday and played the Albin counter gambit trap today as black! Made me super happy :)
Damn this is my fav thumbnail of yours so far, I'm liking that glowing pawn especially, super cool.
(Even though is probably just a flare xD)
Hi Eric!
I recently played a game of Stafford gambit and it went exacly like you explained in your Stafford video!!!
It was pretty awesome feeling!!
I am rated about 1100
@@ninjahatodi8462 nice!
Awesome. Waiting for more traps.
I love these type of videos from you!
Classics for sure, every time you talked about one I said 'oh yeah this one'. I'm fond of the 4th one because I learned it from a finegold video a month before getting it in a tournament game :D
I played a game and they played the "reverse london" exactly like you said, wow.
Damn I love your videos. Went on and tried the first trap in my first game, and the opponent easily bit the trap. Beautiful
I always play queen's gambit in my games. thanks for the tips!
Thanks fr your work Eric, bin a pleasure,
5:51 the classic "Oh no my bishop!" gambit
Eric has such a soft voice and a monotone speak you'd think it'd be hella boring to watch, but this is probably one of the most focused I've been watching a video on TH-cam. And it's about chess of all things too
I needed this one
Thank you!!
Thanks! Great 👍 stuff
Okay I didn't know single one upload more of these
My first ever opening I sat down and studied was the Queen's Gambit. Which is why I always take the declined line as black :)
Hi Eric, I am Sepp from the Netherlands, I love watching your videos. (And sometimes on stream haha). Can you tell me how to create like an portfolio where I put in openings so I can practise with them?? On Lichess by the way. Love to hear from you or someone else who can help me..❤️
Thank you dear Eric
Black doesn't lose a rook at 0:55, but he does lose a minor piece. Nc6 or Bb7 can be played to save the rook.
Doesn't that pin the king and rook
@@theelectricalengineerguy2121 fork you mean? If Nc6 QxNc6+, Bd7 blocks check and reveals discovered defense on the rook via the queen. If Bb7 QxBb7, Nd7 is a similar concept. It's not the best computer move but it's the best move to play against a human opponent imo.
I was so exited seeing Eric uploaded but then ı realized ı watched that live :(
I've said it before, and I'll say it again: Eric dude has an overly soothing voice, to teach effectively. I find myself napping instead of learning.
I hope one day there will be an officially labaled Rosen trap/variation for whatever opening/position
Last time i was this early i still had a future
I wonder when people will stop to make these unfunny (even depressing for some people) jokes.
@@LeventK when people like you will stop being triggered which makes the joke funnier.
@@LeventK some people make self deprecating jokes to cope with their depression/anxiety
@@bas8792 Thanks, makes sense.
Oof
eric rosen is one of the my motivatation and inspiration in playing chess, thanks.
this is really valuable, and he is just giving it to us ;)
i just played the first trap on someone and i've never been prouder in my life for remembering something.
Could you do one for the king’s gambit too?
I’m all about these trap videos
Queens Gambit is how I like to play white as of late! And I think Queens Gambit Accepted: Central Variation, Alekhine's System -> e4, Ne5, f3 is a trap I'm able to play quite often...
The Albin Countergambit trap is well known as Lasker trap, as lichess says @5:52 ! Could have been mentioned...
Do the kings gambit next please :D
At 18:00 when he made that triangle I paused the video and looked up what a different sided triangle is called because I couldn't remember and thought to myself that I hadn't heard scalene in a long time (and I have a math degree). I unpause the video to him asking what it's called and saying the same thing hehe.
I brought out my extra knight in a lasker trap game just cuz I wanted to play with three knights
I stick to one opening for white to learn it: 1.d4 ... 2. c4
Thank you for expanding my trap repertoire!
My games before I started watching Eric's video -: 😐😑😶
My games after I started watching Eric's video:- 😄😃😀
Since you showed up those "ponziani traps" I've seen quite a lot of people playing the ponziani, and most losing quite badly.
That Albin Counter-gambit trap is called the Laskar Trap, its the first trap I ever learned in chess.
my main opening is queens gambit for white so this video will be very interesting
I cant tell you how many times ive fallen for these.
Falling multiple times for the same trap? C'mon bro get your shit together.
@@Dunsie Lol like you haven't
Wow!
My Elo is 1800 and I play Queen’s Gambit and I hadn’t seen the Qf3 line winning the rook.
I play a similar trap as white against the French when I play the Tarasch variation
Hi twitch 😀
great content.
Nicest Thing, you saying Zwischenzug :)
17:06 after Bd3 I think dxc4 is not the move, since White can play Bxf6 and there is no trap. Instead of dxc4, Black goes Ne4 immediately.
Does the Albin counter gambit have any rich lines / thematic ideas outside the main trap line? For example the Budapest has the rook lift idea / queen putting pressure on the queenside.
I think the main idea of the Albin is to just take the Queen's Gambit player out of her comfort zone and force her to play a completely different kind of an opening. Most Queen's Gambit players enjoy methodical, positional lines, and with the Albin you'll usually end up in a very sharp and aggressive line where black is temporarily down a pawn but white has a hard time developing her pieces.
It's good to know though that white can decline the gambit in ways that'll transpose to either French Exchange or Chigorin, so you need to be prepared to play those as well on occasion if you play the Albin!
Next video please on e4 and e5 or kings gambit please sir. And love from Bangladesh.
why do you have to take the knight with check after queen trade in the reverse london line, can you not fork king and rook?
That thumbnail is excellent
“2700!”
“Wow that’s high!”
“On Lichess”
“Oh”
One dubious trap in the Bd7 line after axb5 Bxb5, you can play Bxc4!? When the bishop recaptures you have Qa4+ I had an opponent play Nc6 once 😂, what a windmill.
Best play it’s “I have the whole center and you have no pieces developed.” Though.
please upload more chess traps
Does the trap mandates that we say " oh no ! my queen" when playing it.?
11:45 How to react to KxD5? This looses a knight for white, correct?
Qc8 if queen takes rook then bishop b8. you loose the knight or the bishop and get the queen. If queen does not take develop bishop to b8 to attack the queen. I didn't use the engine or anything just taking a sec from work but I think it works or I am just missing something obvious.
Eric: says “oh no my queen!”
*5 seconds later*
*The opponent gets checkmated*
been watching trap vids for the past 3 hours
the most mellow guy
of serial killer chess
Checkmate!! "Oh no, my King"
12:59 General Kenobi!!
From Tarrasch Defense, the Schara Gambit is quite terrible for white (d4 - d5, c4 - e6, Cc3 - c5, cxd5 - cxd4, Da4+ - b5, Dxb5+ [first blunder] - Fd7, Db7 looking to take "the free rook" [second blunder]). It is very natural moves and easy to fall for it. I walk myself into it, but fortunately my opponent didn't know how to punish it
Hi, what software are you using to show these traps?
Lichess opening explorer
Just a general note : The traps wont work if u don't say "oh no my queen!!!"😛😛
1:46 what if queen is played on c7?.... It would trap the queen right?
When you started showing the reverse London trap, I was 100% sure you were about to show the bogoljubov trap. It's missing from this video :)
There is another fun trap in the Cambridge Springs (500 people fell for it):
1. d4 d5
2. c4 e6
3. Nc3 Nf6
4. Bg5 Nbd7
5. Nf3 c6
6. e3 Qa5 (The elephant trap position)
7. Nd2 0-0 (White blocks the a5-e1 diagonal with his King Knight)
8. Bd3?? dxc4! (Double attack on both Bishops d3 and g5)
9. Bxf6 cxd3 (If one Bishop runs, take the other)
10. Qxd3 Nxf6 (Black is up a clean piece.)
FEN:
r1b2rk1/pp3ppp/2p1pn2/q7/1b1P4/2NQP3/PP1N1PPP/R3K2R w KQ - 0 12
What’s the easiest way to memorize these movements?
how you have thiss games stats on rifgt?
2:00: How about Qc7 for Black instead of Qb6? Oh no, never mind. After Qxa8, Bb7, Qxa7.
New to the sub, what program is Eric using for those statistics? Someone please n thx
This is lichess, I think it’s .org but just Google and you’ll find it. It’s an open source chess site with love games, puzzles, and database stuff you see here. All completely free. Great stuff
Live games, not love
Dying @ the person saying queen takes e1 lmao
How can i play chess with my friend online on an app or a site
"and then you say 'oh no! my pawn!'"
I walked into that Slav trap as a teenager in a tournament. It ruined my chances of winning the tournament.
Hi Eric
I giggled at "King takes E1"
I don't see why Qa4 is not considered in the last position. It's not ideal, but I don't think you are losing materiel beside a bishop for a knight.
Eric rosen is the international nicest guy
