Two Rosen trophies in one move should be an own Rosen trophy! You brought me back to chess, and even better Duck Chess! You are a huge inspiration for so many people around me! I live in Austria, so that tells you a bit about your influence around the globe. Thanks for existing! :)
the memory he has is just amazing, how he remembers what he played vs. X, what he was playing for oppening at different times in his life, honestly I cant remember what I played 3 games ago.
This was super instructive Eric, thanks! Really great to hear your full thought process over a longer time frame, blitz sometimes can be a bit of a muddle for lower rated players like myself. Please do more in future!
My favorite moment was when you played the ponziani opening! I'm only rated 1000 in blitz and 1200 in rapid, but I've been watching your videos for over 2 years. For the last few months, that's consistently been my opening, and I never knew that was the name of it. I'm glad I finally know now! I love your videos Eric, you're so wholesome!Keep up the great work! I'll be there watching always!
Dude, you just made me hang my queen when you were talking about falling back down, getting up again, and thinking it was a song because I got all distracted and excited thinking you were referencing Rancid's "Fall Back Down". Super big letdown when it turned out you were talking about Chumbawamba. It's not like Tubthumping is a bad song, but it made me really happily surprised for those few seconds I thought you listened to Rancid even if it was a song from one of their poppiest albums. People I meet now are always surprised when they find out that deep down in my core I'm still the grimy punk rocker I was in my late teens and early 20s. I could see that being the case with you, too.
I am watching a lot of your content to learn how you approach these games. Or simply put, learning how to think like you. I played a talent last week, a 15-year old who only started playing chess 10 months ago but who already is better than most players at my chess club. He put me under a lot of pressure early on, but after I forced him to exchange queens I was able to change the dynamic and ultimately beat him. Very proud of that. When we analyzed the game together I noticed he approached it very different than me, and he memorized all his moves, and mine, while I was struggling to keep up looking at my notes to see what I played. 😂I am sure he will be well above 2000 rated in a couple years.
>be ~1500 >"How to beat amateurs at chess" >Perfect, I never know how to punish weird moves >The amateurs are 1700 >Cry Edit: in all seriousness this was actually a good video, it points out some of the stuff I also do that can exploited
I found the game beginning @39:08 to be one of the most instructive I've seen, and I think that I watched it just at the right time... For, as a total beginner at chess, (2 months), I have, thus far, been playing puzzles and watching a few random longer games per day, and, when I watch a video, normally, I watch it very passively, and go into a daze where I'm just seeing the whole position and not trying to think about any moves. But today, after watching the game at @39:08, I can say that something came on like a lightbulb Eureka moment, and I saw so much beauty in the game, plus Eric's commentary started to make more sense. Really an inspiring game for me! Ps, It's astounding to me how difficult super GM games are to follow. Except when the positions are simplified but even then, I find their games hurt my head!! Mikhail Tal is a very interesting player! Sorry I had a lot to say but ultimately, thank you Eric for the lessons in this video
One of the main rules I learned really early on and I still follow to this day is “if you can attack a knight with a middle pawn in the first 10 moves, you should just do it“.
Sad that opponent didn't know any of the Petrov theory against Bc5. I play 3.d4 against the Petrov and was hoping to see how Eric fights the main line!
Here is where I am at: 1. I am exclusive UA-cam. I don't use Twitch. I tried it... I don't like it. 2. I watch all UA-cam on demand on my schedule. I never watch premieres or streams while they are live. I rarely watch VOD rebroadcasts in total. I have a life. When I do watch 3+ hour unedited vod content, it is in pieces over several days or a week. I don't know what percentage of the UA-cam audience is like me (maybe I'm weird, or the majority, who knows...) I am largely indifferent to Twitch streamers moving to UA-cam with their actual streams. It won't really change what I'm doing.
Thanks for everything you do. This is yet another great vid. The game white vs Caro Kann is missing a chapter marking at around 29m45s (between nimzo and rossolimo)
Opponent plays Qf4. Rosen: Okay, so opponent wants to checkmate me. ...yes, Eric, and you want to checkmate him. Isn't that, like...the whole deal?😂 Love your content, Eric. I've never seen a video from you that I didn't enjoy, and I always learn something. Keep up the great work.
1:14:15 had a game end just like this one recently. I even premoved the knight so they should have known something was up... still left the queen hanging and promptly resigns when I take it
Fun to watch I think your opponents are over anxious they’re making a lot of mistakes and bad moves they must be nervous feeling the pressure against you on you tube I like your casual style enjoyable like the game of Chess itself
@Eric Rosen 1:04:56 ... do you have an "oh no my queen" moment with 14. .. exd3 15. bxc5 dxe2 into a fork where he either gives the queen back or loses the rook back there?
@ 30:37 as soon as black moved the knight, I would have shoved my horse onto G6; because at my level (1200), I can see a lot of people snatching my knight just to be mated by my queen.
I loved the game at 14:50 as those are the games I almost always lose because I don't know what to do when both sides have a knight, two rooks, and most, in this case all, of the pawns on the board.
At 30:55, did Eric have checkmate in 2 if knight to g6, pawn takes queen g6 checkmate. And if pawn doesn’t take them wins a rook? Or am I missing something?
Hello Eric, I don't see you play the Bishop opening much, do you know why? And how to analyse a game on Lechess on your profile or else ? is there a video to explain that ? please, thank you.
How about an opening pawn scale? Like a chess arpeggio or something. You play a4 first game, when b4, then c4 and so on until h4. Of course, when you get White.
I always like starting chess games because even against the best players you can keep up with them for at least three moves, unless it’s E4, oh no! LOL
Two Rosen trophies in one move should be an own Rosen trophy!
You brought me back to chess, and even better Duck Chess! You are a huge inspiration for so many people around me! I live in Austria, so that tells you a bit about your influence around the globe. Thanks for existing! :)
Two Rosen trophies in one move is a paradox because then you would have three trophies in one move :)
@@grantgreenberg2457getting 3 Rosen trophies should be an own Rosen trophy!
@@melle7505 Three Rosen trophies in one move is a paradox because then you would have four trophies in one move :)
I wonder how many people he influenced here in Romania
Didn't expect to see a fellow Austrian here!
the memory he has is just amazing, how he remembers what he played vs. X, what he was playing for oppening at different times in his life, honestly I cant remember what I played 3 games ago.
Thank you for existing, Eric ❤
Get on ur knees
He created us all

Existing is the strongest move in this position
🙏🏽
2.5 hours of Eric? My day just got a whole lot better
what about AFTER the video ends?
@@XstonedmonkeyzXreplay it!!
Thanks for this instructive video!
Ah! This should be good. Eric is a first rate Chess instructor.

Nice, Good luck 👍
"Oh No My Opponent" had me rolling. So simple and so witty. Most importantly, a fun jab without being disrespectful.
Thanks!

I love the heart monitor idea Eric because I'm trying so hard to calm myself while playing. This game wipes me out!
MORE like this on UA-cam please! 10min, instructional, slow where I can follow along with your logic is great!!!
Eric Rosen, you are a gentle scholar and kind gentleman. Thank you sir for your patient tutorials!!😇

Watched all 2 1/2 hours, opened my eyes to see more of what’s going on. Thank you!
Thanks Eric! I'm learning so much from these longer game videos.
Long time format videos are maximum comfy, sounds like a great upload
Wow eric, this is one of your best videos thank you so much for uploading some instructive chess. I learned a lot from this video

Already watched this VOD on twitch but I'll watch it here again happily ...can never have too much Eric "wholesome" Rosen in my life
Sad that opponent didn't know any of the Petrov theory against Bc5. I play 3.d4 against the Petrov and was hoping to see how Eric fights the main line!
the second last game was my favourite. You went beast mode on that guy and destroyed him quickly
LOL! "Now I can start munching. This knight is hungry". 🤣

1. I am exclusive UA-cam. I don't use Twitch. I tried it... I don't like it.

I'm in the same boat
@@waetla1002 I feel like large parts of the two audiences (UA-cam and Twitch) are seeking very different experiences. I could be wrong.
Me: Eating lunch and watching Eric.
Co-worker walks in.
Co-worker: "Is that Bob Ross?"
What milestone is needed to get an actual Bob Ross parody vid out of Eric? 🤔🤣🙃
That Boden game near the end was exceptional. So interesting too. That could've got its own video.
Thanks for everything you do. This is yet another great vid. The game white vs Caro Kann is missing a chapter marking at around 29m45s (between nimzo and rossolimo)
You're pretty good at this chess thing. I know it's impossible to technically "master," but I bet you could compete "internationally."
UA-cam live would be way more convenient for me for sure, definitely vote for you to go through with youtube streaming
Great instructional videos. Gutted you didn't get your smothered mate after the disco. Thanks for sharing. Greetings from East of England.
Eric - thanks for the content. Liked the Ponzioni game. Enjoyed this type of video.
Learning how to check mate in new ways from you Eric thanks so much.
Replaying 14:02 on loop just to feel something 🥲
Thanks to you I can't stop listening to it🙂
I love building model airplanes
Facts.
Get your Airfix on
Everyone has a hobby everyone has skeletons in the closet
@@chullupa oh no
@@chullupa ouch
These rapid tournaments always make for great instruction. I always get something out of them.
Eric: thats definitely a trap you fall for once and learn your lesson.
Me: that’s where your wrong
This is a lovely video to fall asleep to
Most of your "oh no" moments I took seriously
ERICCCC!!!! Thanks for the long vid!!
0:18 Oh no my opponent. =D
Thats all I need!
Opponent plays Qf4.
Rosen: Okay, so opponent wants to checkmate me.
...yes, Eric, and you want to checkmate him. Isn't that, like...the whole deal?😂
Love your content, Eric. I've never seen a video from you that I didn't enjoy, and I always learn something. Keep up the great work.
I watched to the end. Interesting commentary thanks.

very relaxing content, love this stuff
Fun to watch I think your opponents are over anxious they’re making a lot of mistakes and bad moves they must be nervous feeling the pressure against you on you tube I like your casual style enjoyable like the game of Chess itself
I thought his opponent could have made better moves for sure in the game he got checkmated with queen and knight
Always love the videos Eric. Thanks for being your great self
Excellent video Eric
1:20:27 oh no my castling rights 😆 ...where will this madness end? Oh no my queenside majority oh no my time advantage
Can you turn off alerts on the recording for UA-cam? Not so chilled video with them going off so loudly.
Great content, good sir. Very instructive.
Your videos are inspirations to me 💯. Thanks for making chess contents
Love the stafford and boden k gambits
Disco pork was a ridiculously awesome idea
I am a big Fan of 10 min games. Please more.
Rosen is gonna become a GM. Easy peasy.
Fabulous Pontianak.
Very enjoyable, thanks Eric!
@Eric Rosen 1:04:56 ... do you have an "oh no my queen" moment with 14. .. exd3 15. bxc5 dxe2 into a fork where he either gives the queen back or loses the rook back there?
the mate pattern you used in the nimzo could’ve happened by sacrificing the b pawn when white was moving around one rook
How to beat amateurs at chess: Bring along a cudgel. :)
I would definitely have played the first game as well as Eric.
Good game pawn checkmate with the Rook third game I believe was kind of a pacif game as you say not too much doubt about the outcome at any point
Eric! Love this guy! Beast mode 20foe!
@ 30:37 as soon as black moved the knight, I would have shoved my horse onto G6; because at my level (1200), I can see a lot of people snatching my knight just to be mated by my queen.
Ahh just in time to watch while I go to sleep
Watch Eric Rosen at night and Gotham during the day
@@haptictv With a picture of Hikaru Moke Carlsen in the thumbnail.
I love this type of content.
I thought there are no amateurs today because everyone follows your channel
I loved the game at 14:50 as those are the games I almost always lose because I don't know what to do when both sides have a knight, two rooks, and most, in this case all, of the pawns on the board.
15th one was a crazy one.
Eric the goat 🐐 also quack
My fav moment was your opening joke
Brilliant!
1:11:22 Woooow, Was that an actual pop culture reference from Eric Rosen?
Live stream on UA-cam is a great idea
At 30:55, did Eric have checkmate in 2 if knight to g6, pawn takes queen g6 checkmate. And if pawn doesn’t take them wins a rook? Or am I missing something?
Brilliant games
This is a POGGERS video! I love watching you! Go big dad rosen!
52:19 better move for black instead of Qf5 was Qg4 (mate in 8) eric missed this
I used to live in st louis. Thats cool.
Great video
What's wrong with him 😂..
I've discovered a disco pork...so random..I love watching him work..💪...Rosen the assassin
54:05 such disrespect
Hello Eric, I don't see you play the Bishop opening much, do you know why? And how to analyse a game on Lechess on your profile or else ? is there a video to explain that ? please, thank you.
The first few games I cannot believe the opponents played like 500 rated players.
1:02:40 knight can get to g6 via b8->d7->f6->h4
Im playing this for my gf so she falls asleep. Thank you Eric Rosen
How about an opening pawn scale? Like a chess arpeggio or something. You play a4 first game, when b4, then c4 and so on until h4. Of course, when you get White.
happy holidays
Chumbawamba appreciation let's go
Thanks
In that last game with Larshusum why didn’t you consider fxe5?
58:07 didn't white have knight takes e5 or am I missing something (after bxe2, Qxe2, Qxe5, Qxe5, Nxe5 there is Re1)
So soothing
Love rapid!
I always like starting chess games because even against the best players you can keep up with them for at least three moves, unless it’s E4, oh no! LOL
Fav game: Ponziani checkmate with 2 knights
44:56 Bg5 looks good to me. Any reason that doesn't work to deflect the rook?
I was thinking the same thing 😅 Haven‘t checked it with an engine, but I‘m pretty sure it wins material by force
Thought the same, and it's the engine's best move
