RiseAgainstDisciple u use an engine and put the position in and it gives u the best moves I don’t know if this is 100% true as I’ve never done it but that is how I would guess
Yeah so obvious, player leaving the game for some seconds then coming back after looking at the engines choices. I also had this some times during online classical games on lichess. In these cases you need to get a moderator join the game. But when the cheater has two monitors he even doesn't have to leave the game, so there you only recognize it in odd thinking times for different kind of moves (easy vs complex positions). I also had this, the opponent seeing complex tactics in some seconds. The most obvious it is, if the move time for each move is amost exactly the same. But only stupid cheaters act like this.
Spoiler alert! - "I'm sorry to my oponent" is around 1:30:00 :), game against an 1800, berserking, flagged the oponent 0,3s before his own flag would fall and last but not least after 3 moves (~ 6 plys) noticed that earlier hang a bishop. 1:30 h from the start is also worth watching but catchy title needs explanations :). Lets take a look at the rest 30 m. Regards!
Thanks ! Came here to have the answer. I began watching the vid, which is very interesting but can't watch it totally now, so your info prevents my frustration xD
Opponent has a time pressure, even though i would probably notice that, it was forgivable. But can't believe that eric didn't notice his rook was hanging.
He's completely right, choosing music styles would not please everyone, so not play music is better, as we can do it ourselves. Both clever and caring.
For future reference so people can tell. After every move from Eric, Davis would disconnect, then reconnect and play his move. Needless to say, that's a big red flag
Eric Rosen laid back soft spoken and smart. I thought that he could take the bishop at 40:00...boy I would have lost my rook. I usually can foresee his moves and when I fail...it is a learning experience. Yes I would say Eric is just about my besty. Love Ya Eric and God Bless You and Yours. Thanks for all that you do. Good Chess....Very good chess. Love to watch and think and learn. VERY COOL !!~!!!~!!
49:40 Some of the moves played from this point onwards were very suspicious. And the way he checkmated his opponent was also very suspicious, like Rxg7 is not the human response and taking on g7 with forced mate on b8 was also an option. This person played very accurately too....
I took inspiration from you today Eric, and used the halloween gambit on a guy rated about 1650 (similar rating to me) for the first time ever... I was very pleasantly suprised at how it turned out, even knowing practically no theory! Such an agressive opening.
That's also my new favorite opening online! I managed to win around 80/90% of my game with it. People are so confused with it some tried to further devellop their knights only to lose both. I even managed to trap a queen with a pawn! Thank you Eric! This and the Tennison Gambit are great weapons!
@@Silverdust4797 The plan is to take off guard the Scandi player, they most likely don't expect Nf3. In some good case scenario you can sacrifice a knight and a bishop for the queen and in the absolute best case scenario you can mate relatively quick in some sort of reversed color Englund Gambit, by attacking the queen side with the queen and the light square bishop. If things don't works "that" good you can trade queens and grab a free rook and if it don't work you can still enjoy a better position. Trading queens is also good for white in that configuration because most players around 1500 who play the scandinavian usually grab the pawn with the queen meaning they somehow rely "too much" on their Queen and they most likely have hard time playing without it so in itself it can be a purely pyschological advantage. I say that because in most games I had against scandi players they were forcing the shit out of their queen, to give free check in attempt to lock white position ignoring opening principles. If you want to avoid those annoying games just go for the Tennison.
This is the Bob Ross of chess. Watch him to learn chess or just straight up zen out. His games are all brilliant paintings, but his thought process is why we're here. Note to self: "just get all your blinking in before his end game starts."
Absolutely, I jumped when he doubled Rs instead of Rxg3+ , but figured I’d missed something (the usual case) and intended to check later. [Tristan, it’s not mate right away, but totally resignable.] Eric rarely misses such killer moves.
No. Following 1. Bc4 ... Rxg3+ 2. hxRg3 ... Qg3+ 3. Kh1 ... Be4+. That’s not mate, Shubham, as white blocks with R, then BxR+ and then QxB. White is lost, but there’s no immediate mate.

12:55 This is where White went wrong. Just because you can take en passant doesn’t mean you should. He should have just moved the Queen and pushed the a pawn
1:25:50 he plays Bishop f4, clear target and idea! bishop in front of the queen. And then what happens? They don't acknowledge it both, opponent pushes the pawn and Eric doesn't take the queen. Ok
I guess that CM match was the outlining of why IM > CM. You're simply better in endgame and time scramble even with such a vast gap of material between you and your opponent experience do makes the difference.

The board at 33:28 is very interesting. All the pieces that my very very low skilled self would deem valuable are dead and all the pawns are around XD
38:42 doesnt rook sac on g3 check lead to unavoidable mate?
1:25:50 he plays Bishop f4, clear target and idea! bishop in front of the queen. And then what happens? They don't acknowledge it both, opponent pushes the pawn and Eric doesn't take the queen. Ok
I guess that CM match was the outlining of why IM > CM. You're simply better in endgame and time scramble even with such a vast gap of material between you and your opponent experience do makes the difference.
Damn Eric really missed rxg3 at 38:38...
it would've been so good (and technically force mate but I only saw this after engine lol)
