    I did not realize I was playing you rosen😂 I was your last opponent in the video. I thought you were a cheater cause I saw your 99 percent win rate when I checked your profile right before I played bishop d2 lol. I tried to play very passive the whole game because I thought I was playing stockfish. I found it strange that you played the exact ideas you recommended in certain structures but never could I have realized that it was actually you!

      Effectively you were playing a ‘cheater’ - someone pretending to be 2100 when their true rating is above 2500! Nice outcome is that you didn’t lose any rating points and you played the legendary Rosen

      I always feel sorry for speed run opponents as it IS a lie. I hope that immediately after the game you get some accolades for participating in the ruse with a personal note from the runner.

    Please don’t stop this video series! This has been my go-to reason to pick up UA-cam, always hoping you have a new video here. My humble wish, aim at 3,000! Your explanation of thinking and justification of each move is unparalleled, the tone of your voice soothing and overall this series is just brilliant. Hoping that you will continue, thank you for the series thus far 🙏🏼

      Most speedruns end around the mid to early 2000’s because cheaters become rather frequent at these time controls.

      How to smush loser chess expert level players as though they're blunderers who have zero chance is really fantastic. Rosen is so damn logical about it makes it seem simple to do.

    As a beginner and someone who doesn't really have the time to study and improve, your videos are so nice and instructive. The fact that I miraculously saw the knight's sacrifice (43:18) during your game is a proof that your advices and explanations are very valuable. They improve our thoughts process, whether or not consciously. Thanks and cheers from Paris !

    Here's a format idea; draft another strong player to play rapid games (maybe even 15+0?) and then do a speedrun commentary during the game and analyze after. Even you could have both players do an analysis from their side and post it to their respective channels as a collab. Watch the game from both perspectives.

    in my opinion going from 2200 to 2400 caters to a niche of viewers (i’m definitely not one of them) i much prefer if it’s end here and another speedrun starts with a different repertoire like d4c4 or jobava london for white and caro kann and slav for black
