In this live chess coaching session, I teach a simple black opening repertoire to David Pakman. David is a political commentator (host of the @David Pakman Show) and has recently been invited to the second edition of Chess.com’s PogChamps (a chess tournament for popular streamers and online personalities). To prepare for the event, I showed him the basics of the Sicilian Dragon (against 1.e4) and the King’s Indian Defense (against 1.d4).

London Opening 8-hour video course:
I know this video old but I been looking for this. How to go about D4 openings when playing S.A.D. thanks
Pakman is a clown.
Didnt know David was a Chess player!! 👊😎
One of the best explanations….. Thanks Eric for such a gr8 video.
For anyone who can maybe answer me I'm curious, how does one know in a kings indian set up if they should play e5 or c5 ?
If you beat David Parkman in chess he will label you antisemitic
Hi Eric, new to chess here, just started around 3 months ago. Can I ask how people get you to coach them? Would it be possible if I asked you to teach me a thing or 2 about chess please?
nice one there
Pakman the political patzer, I mean greedy grifter.
this was a really helpfull video
Did bro just say King"s Indian seem's easy…simple ideas…few variations and less memorization???? 💀💀💀
One of the best black openings I've been shown. Simple and pretty much universal in applying.
"As White I have some training in Vienna and Ponziani" ……oh dear……….
Can you really call this Sicilian without C5? You have the dragon structure but it’s not a true Sicilian without C5 clamping on the d4 square
The amount of patience Eric Rosen has for chess … it’s just incredible. What a teacher 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Watching it again…
I like your tutorials. Where's your livestreams? Twitch?
Basic openings for black > Sicilian dragon😅
This is a great instructive lesson, thanks Eric
thanks for the video Eric
For the sicilian dragon, what if they go pawn to e5? do you commit to kings indian with pawn g6 or do you have to ditch and pawn d6
I know this video is 2 years old and it's highly unlikely you'll even see this but I'd really love it if you could make more videos like these, this is one of the only videos I've been able to easily digest and learn a specific opening, it's the best video I have watched for this purpose. I think it helped you had someone else who was a relative beginner to explain it to also who could ask questions like "What if his pawn takes here…" for example. Some other IMs/GMs will just tell you specific lines that never get played at my level with little explanation behind the moves themselves and will say something like "every other move is bad" but then not explain exactly how to punish those "bad" moves because to them it's just obvious but in some cases is a complicated (or at least non-intuitive) set of moves.
