Great episode, that first game was nerve-racking. You have an aggressive style that could be exploited by the really top players, but is still super high level and fun to watch too
In the final game I was thinking that you could also win the exchange AND get the queens off the board, which would simplify the position further and give you clearer lines of attack. That is, ...Qxf1; Qxf1 Bxf1; Kxf1.
(spoiler for game 1 below) I jumped out of my chair when I realised you''ll be winning the first game. Opponent first refused the draw then threw so bad. Better than any netflix series
Eric, I have a question for you. Over the course of the speed run you have said “let’s go for it” after contemplating a move or a series of moves. Sometimes not being too sure if it’s the best course of action. Do you ever/have you ever said to yourself in your head - “let’s go for it” during an over the board game?
“I don’t think I’m going to pronounce this name”
Good old deadpan Eric
"Every pawn lost is an open file" is the most Zen thing I've ever heard.
Up there with "Treat every blunder as a gambit"
I came to the comments to say exactly this 😂
THE BEARD LIVES! Keep it going Eric! Love it!
Bro was playing so fast for no reason he was up 4+ minutes.
Right??????? That was the only way in for Eric. He should've kept his cool to find good moves
Stupid humans psychology "oh he is moving fast i have to move fast too or I'm gae"

The second opponent (the draw) was banned for cheating, so it will be two rating refunds..
25:21 That username tho 😂. Eric looked visibly uncomfortable
Kind of username that makes you wonder who took the first 29

How do users get away with this nonsense? Oh yeah... dumb AI. Trust me, folks, AI will NEVER replicate human thinking or perception.

Love the Rosen play style and commentary.
The first game was an amazing comeback. Congrats Eric.
Game 1 guy turned off his computer, kicked the wall and poured a double scotch.
I recently destroyed my favorite cup for a probably less violent loss :D
By far, the politest gentleman streamer I've ever seen, so pleasant to watch!
This really got me pondering if I’m a file half open or a file half closed kinda guy
dont ever shave

Rosen strikes again! Great episode. And the ChessMood trial is dope!

Not to mention how cool it was to see you get a very playable position after Qa6 Bf1
It really is so fun to watch the dance.
Screaming at Eric to make a move is not what I expected to do here at the library
The beard! Its happening :D
you are IM for a reason eric, what a endgame
Good Eric you took my advice on the beard. Now just start lifting some iron and get jacked bro and you will transform from a pawn to a rook irl
Hey Eric! Can you play the Knight's Tango next time you face 1.d4? You got me playing it, such a fun and unusual opening for black
Been watching for years, Eric. The beard goes crazy.
Eric, I have a question for you. Over the course of the speed run you have said “let’s go for it” after contemplating a move or a series of moves.

Also, who's "let's"? Very suspicious 🤔

Did you watch the previous episode? He says it verbatim in episode 78.
Ooh I really like this question! I wonder what examples he has of questionable moves working brilliantly or terribly
@@jason1666Eric and the Beadmaster
Always a beautiful day when Eric posts 🙏🏻
Wow thank you eric. Hope they are paying u well ❤
Thanks for the holiday gift Eric.
best episode ever. that second game has high entertainment value.
Would you consider making a video how to the thoroughly read the post game analysis
Good idea 😊
Screaming at the computer sack the higher up knight
Fantastic first win 🎉 🏆
Watch out IMRosen, ohnomyrosen is closing in on you.
BEARD
We love you Eric!
Rosenbeard is dope
I wonder if Eric would have pronounced the username if it was ‘lickmybuttplease30’
First game: isn't it a better strategy of trying to flag, to play very defensive / locked up type of moves to limit your progress vs playing fast?
Eric almost *GOT* licked by that second guy. Who, you'll notice, is WAY WAY lower rated yet plays much more strongly. I'm getting Kramnik vibes here.
Another comment here says that guy was later banned for cheating.
Upvote if Eric should grow a full, mountain-man beard.
Hell naw!
The one he has here is hideous enough.
Dude this is not Reddit
Hell yaw
It’s a prerequisite for becoming a professional chess boxer.
Gm2 - they say pawns on one side knight better than bishop but how often do you encounter a player able to exploit that advantage?
I was not ready for the facial hair.
it looks good on him! has to be trimmed a bit tho
@@oiseaubaladeurI think Eric’s beard fits him so well, and honestly I hate when he shaves it
Gm1 - classic blindness bc d3 square not in either player's vision
47:43 just take the rook. You would be 2 pawns and an exchange up in a queenless game.
48:00 qxf1
Was bishop to h6 around 49mins a good move?
I’m not shaving until he does 🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️💅💅❤️💅❤️❤️❤️💅❤️💅💅❤️💅❤️😘😘😘😘😘🥰😘🥰😘🥰😘🥰😘🥰😘😘🥰
FINALLYY!! Im like an addict waiting for every episode
Valid 😂
I actually found the move that Eric missed in the first game which immediately raises my Elo by about 1000.
You have your own Elo?
Discovered fork = Dork ?
40:47 Rc1 was a try?
I thought so too. It looks like you can keep the pawn.
Hi Eric, at 27:37ish when you say it still walks into b4 after Rb1 - isn't Rxb4 a move there because of the pin?
Game 2 at the end when you went up by one pawn, you had rook g2 to protect your pawn. Any reason you didn’t do it?

Commenting in support of the beard
I support the beard
love the beard.
keep it
The Bearded One \O/
Sorry, I couldn't watch the video, I went into a chessmood rabbit hole.
I fear that beard may be becoming too powerful
At around 9mins Eric is afraid of Nb4 after Qxa5 Bxa5 Rxb6. I don't get it, to me that's just a free knight.
The bishop is on a5 at that point, so the knight going to b4 is supported by that bishop and can't be taken for free
Why do you need to react to a4 in the first game? The rook on a1 is hanging. Can't you just play Be7?
im gona check free course thanks eric maybe i can reach 2000 one day
nice first game opponent to cocky
It’s called an open file half.
Interesting
Rosen opens his wallet.
Chess mood says, hello.
Good day, he replies.
I meant to post this on video 69: nice!
@30:58 isn't e4 a free center pawn?
Doesn't look like it! The pawn is attacked twice, but also defended twice.
Err what? Bearded master speedrun?
Let's goooooooo
Beard looks great
1:00 Stafford gambit's refutation??? really???
48:00 couldn't you just take the rook?
pronounce it😂
Bishop f1 is theory, only after casteling, the idea of queen a6 is viable
Let's start a new speedrun. These games are getting too complicated.
First
no views bro fell off
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA THATS SO FUNNY HAHAHAHAHAHAHA
keep your levy rozman ahh brain rot away from the rosen comment section
Change the board theme and piece set they're awfully repulsive
Pls change your view point, it’s awfully repulsive to think everyone shares the same sentiment as you.
