    eric rosen has such a friendlyy voice, combined with his competence and politeness, he should be considered the best chess teacher on the internet.

    Comparing Rosen's lecture here with Friedel and Feingold, I like Rosen best. He tries to instruct more. Feingold just cracks a bunch of jokes and whizzes past important moves. Friedel tries to instruct, but sometimes makes fast moves, forgetting that his GM thinking is blowing past us. This is a really GOOD lecture on endgames!
  • @RodMacNevin
    This was a great lecture. It was presented clearly by an expert who obviously took the time to prepare.
  • @dsysk
    I must admit sometimes I watch chess videos to get me in bed time mood.. but this one kept me awake!
  • @Aizen343
    Elegant, instructive, good rythm and dense. A lecture to review, study and gain real usefull knowledge along the board play. I got to say, this is as gold as Finegold. Or Yasser, Akobian, Johnathan in teaching level.

    I like how the thumbnail has Eric Rosen drinking from his cup as if saying "Mhm, they did messed up gud."
  • @evhwolfgang2003
    4 minutes in and he already fixed part of my game. I have been walking the king up next to the pawn and just trying to find a new tactic after each opposing move.

    46:38 Also note that Qa4# requires you to move the queen over a shorter distance than Qb6# - and it ends the move closer to the clock!

    I revisit this video every few months and I always fall into every trap.
  • @RAMKUMAR-fk2cy
    One of the best endgames lectures I have ever seen... thank you so much Eric we love you
  • @cothren6504
    This the best I have ever seen--his calm voice makes this easy to understand.
  • @Cr0nUs1340
    I hope to see more lectures from IM Eric Rosen!!

    Fantastic video! I'm going to have to watch this multiple times. My only comment, as a beginner, is you used this odd sounding word quick quickly a lot and I kept missing it. Thanks to comments below I finally got it - zugzwang - just in case anyone else was wondering.
  • Of all the chess videos I’ve watched over YouTube I really think this is the most useful one. There are so many videos regarding openings, traps and tricks. But if you’re playing someone around equal skill level you’ll eventually reach an end game. I think this would be the most practical place to start to study.
  • @afbdreds
    It's kind of cool to know he watched other videos before giving this lesson.

    OH NO, my lecture! How did I miss this one?! Great, thanks!
