Watched the whole thing, in intervals over a handful of days. At breakfast, on the treadmill, during work breaks… There’s a mystical peacefulness about it. There’s a story, variety, drama, victories, defeats, coffee, but always relatability, empathy, humility, and the inevitable residue of learning.
Hey Eric. I started watching you pretty recently but I’ve been really binging your videos. It’s incredible how much you’ve helped me improve in such a short amount of time, All while having it an incredible time watching you. It’s truly incredible how easy and fun it is to watch you
I started dying when the Hall of the Mountain King was upbeat and nothing really interesting was happening in the chess game, then he is all like "ALEXA quieter!"
Mr Rosen I mean this as a compliment, I can sleep and have happy dreams to your content. I also watch it regularly and let it play in the background optimizing the use of your great quality of videos. Keep up the great stuff.❤
That first game low-key so instructive... two removing the defender tactics to win a piece, then the game. Eric uses the ideas quite naturally without explaining, but those are the underrated foundational skills it takes to level up. Nicely done.
Eric is a good person to help people catch up on sleep. No matter what is happening in the game, his voice is so peaceful and calm. I find myself napping when I go to watch at his site.

23:50 I remember when that song was going on in a game in a video from a couple weeks ago where it got into a really intense time scramble at the end of the song. That was very fun.
Yep.. watched the whole thing. I was sad it was ending, but it was probably time... you seemed exhausted and needed a mental break anyway! Thanks for uploading the long clip!
I decided to watch a dozen of minutes of this video and I ended up watching the entire thing...I couldn't believe 3 hours passed by so quickly. Thanks Eric, not many UA-camrs can generate that effect!
Hi Eric, I recently started watching your Chess videos and it has rekindled my love for the game... thank you for the very informative and detailed commentary. One thing I really like is your calm demeanor even in the worst of situations... I have only seen you get upset once in watching 100s of your games... keep inspiring!
Just 'cause you asked, I was in Calc 1 at the time this video was recorded. Got my Calc 2 final in three days. Thanks for the chess knowledge and inspiration!
I sometimes use your videos to help me sleep because of your calm tone... so when Hall of the mountain king arrived at its climax... I got really scared kkkkkk (I was nearly asleep). PS: I do not mean to be rude when I say that your voice is relaxing. And I watched the video when I woke up, great entertainment 👍
good overview, a lot of traps and a super fast endgame - and a very strong and fun gameplay. the most boring aspect of chess is a complicated mid game with no action, but in your games there is no such thing. it makes fun to see a unexpected move from the opponent before you and listen to your explanations for all the over moves XD
Watched the whole thing, as always. I tried to find GM Zhilgalko's side of the no respect game but he doesn't seem to have posted this tournament. Man, the guy plays a lot of blitz, with other videos on the same day (I think) and previous and next days.
3:22:15 I am one of those looking to find the longest chess videos possible :) Especially your channel it feels so calm to watch and get ideas of new attacks / openings. :) Ggs Eric.
I just got done watching the whole thing. I really enjoy your videos. Not only are you a great Chess player but you are very inspirational. As I sometime feel like giving up chess you always invigorate me to keep trying.
Eric rosen's line that will never be get old.
"If you're just joining, this is chess"
How humble.

I love how hall of the mountain king made drawing those arrows so menacing 18:10
Hahaha, yes, I had the same thought
Lmao
I loved how he started drawing more and more because the opponent was playing any moves
Listening to fast music while playing chess is the new meta, boosts your ELO by 400 points
HAhahahah i was dying, TOP quality content
Eric drawing ten million arrows as Hall of the Mountain King ramped up in intensity was extremely satisfying
1:42:40
That's a sentence I definitely never expected to hear Eric say.
23:15 the way he moved the queen is one of the funniest things I’ve seen in chess 😂

Colton H thats a lot of incredibles
@@mizzium4870 incredibly incredible amount of incredible
I am taking quite a few of his different tricks from the Stafford Gambit and used them on one of my friends...
Yeah my friend now tends to shy away from taking that night he's learned that probably 80% of the time I end up winning

1:44:27 “if I ever go fishing, I need to remember to bring this rook.”
This! ^^^^ Random comments by Eric...pure comic gold, lol
was gonna comment this too xD
Oh no my rook
I lol at that
I started dying when the Hall of the Mountain King was upbeat and nothing really interesting was happening in the chess game, then he is all like "ALEXA quieter!"
except a bunch of arrows everywhere lol
minute?
@@alebisello9106 Here you go 18:27
I died too 😂

Lol yeah that was such a great aside

Over three hours of Eric...

What piece is your of. mskssupp
I've permanently associated "In the Hall of the Mountain King" with Eric Rosen
23:50 I remember when that song was going on in a game in a video from a couple weeks ago where it got into a really intense time scramble at the end of the song. That was very fun.
Oh no, my hope!
That game is actually part of this stream, it begins at 2:58:40!
Yep.. watched the whole thing. I was sad it was ending, but it was probably time... you seemed exhausted and needed a mental break anyway! Thanks for uploading the long clip!
You are amazing man, i love how easily you make decision and you speak less and explain more, sometimes i got sleepy haha thank you for your videos
I am stealing your "speak less, explain more" line.
He gets me sleepy as well hahaha I put him on to fall asleep to
I think my life without eric rosen videos involved in my life is so empty and sad ! Much love from Egypt Eric keep up the great content ❤
1:39:39, the moment is so cool and hillarious till the end
It looked so promising and then when you notice Nxf4 your heart sinks... And then the dumb rook trap wins it anyway :D
1:42:40 "You're beautiful, too, Pimpjesus420." _stares into the abyss of disappointment_
3:10:22 All these years on UA-cam and I didn't even know about looping! Thanks Eric.
15 mg of melatonin and Eric's soothing voice for 3 hours. What a way to end a Friday night 😊
hypnopedia
I clicked through the time stamps to openings / titles that I thought interesting.
Thanks!
he makes chess way less stressful than how I play it..
fave chess streamer 🙌
I decided to watch a dozen of minutes of this video and I ended up watching the entire thing...I couldn't believe 3 hours passed by so quickly. Thanks Eric, not many UA-camrs can generate that effect!
Yeah bro me too
CAREFUL. Songs may be in public domain but NOT specific renditions or performances of the song.
Was thinking the same thing
14:16 that arrow slightly shocked me
24:19 I find that skip funny
Definitely watched the whole video with your dulcet tones soothing my newborn on her first day at home. 👌🏽
I watched it all. I know these long videos aren't the most popular always, but I'm grateful they exist.
18:11 so here's a really simple opening for all the beginners out there
The queen move at 23:19 absolutely sent me.
note to future self, this was not worth clicking
“Shoutout to your wife” - Eric Rosen, 2020
44:20
Followed by "Oh my bishop"
Man Eric is such a wholesome guy
I love how the calculations during the song actually lined up with the climax at 18:47 and 18:52 in quite a satisfying way lul

Eric is easily the best chess youtuber out there. Been watching for 3 years, and the quality of content has been unbelievably consistent.
I like how Hall of the Mountain King became "the music" in the end 😁
The endgame of 2:58:45 with that music is just spot on! Loved it!
Ur one of the few streamers who is not only good in chess but also have a good sense of humor
Exact same experience with calculus. Studied my ass off at Calc 2 and did fine then the 3rd dimension in Calc 3 blew my mind.
Just keep smiling and smiling and smiling. Mr. Rosen is definitely a good person imo.
Took me two days but did watch to the end. Hall of the Mountain King is my new lichess theme song.
Watched the whole thing and enjoyed every second of it. Hall of the mountain king was so good
I sometimes use your videos to help me sleep because of your calm tone... so when Hall of the mountain king arrived at its climax... I got really scared kkkkkk (I was nearly asleep).
PS: I do not mean to be rude when I say that your voice is relaxing.
And I watched the video when I woke up, great entertainment 👍
Same here except for the mountain king part
damn, I was about to write a coment on how Erics voice is smooth and relaxing.
This is some kind of ASMR, right?
@@luciano53688 yup, chessnetwork is great too
12:30 So basically... the crab messes with the hippo?
I always watch them all, and learn a lot too. Good commentary and quirky dry humour!
Belated Happy birthday Eric, have a good year.

I watched the whole thing :) great games and even better quotes!
Happy birthday Eric. And thank you for all your videos. You have helped my game tons. Your the best.

"thanks for the calm personality bits" - he said, incredibly calmly
Just fell asleep when the mountain king blasts at full volume thanks
8:26 Eric knows the wooden shield pog

8:25 I’m gonna die at how calmly he says wooden shield

Love to hear you think as you play
Watched the whole thing! Great to listen to while I study!
Eric your my favourite chess streamer by far. So well spoken and great sense of humour. Thank you for the content x
I don't know how, but I see the all thing. Great matches! Cheers from Argentina
This feels like watching one of the most interesting movies....👍👍
watching chess is a new way for me to fall asleep.
works like a charm every time.
though it is interesting to watch you play.
I watched the whole thing my guy! Great content as always

Finally finished watching the whole thing. Great matches, thank you!
Thanks Eric your dubious openings helped me reached 2100 on lichess blitz
Watched the whole video. Very entertaining! Thank you. Also learning a lot
Toujours super!
I did watch to the end and appreciate a lot long vids.
You are always very inspiring, thanks
When oH No mY qUeEn turns into Oh no that's not mate!
40:00 When you realise Matrix 1 is a brand ambassador of Stockfish 😂😂
Watched the whole thing! Would love to see you try-hard a full longer tournament like this one and see if you can take it all!!
Of course I watched the whole video. Thank you for the amazing content Eric!
I for one, watched the whole thing, my preference is the longer videos 🤗
so happy to see the video start with an “Oh no my..!”
Watched all of thought the week. Great games!
can we all agree that eric is one of the most non-problematic chess streamer
Hi Eric! I've watched the whole video. Thank you so much for the great content, I really like the long video's on UA-cam!
18:46 that sync tho
"oh I am feeling bad about feeling good about that" IM Rosen 😂
although im a chess noob, i would watch your vids all night. much love from the uk
That first mate around 3:20 was a bit of poetry
Watched the whole video! Great content! The song made me anxious but also made me laugh :)
I just got done watching the whole thing. I really enjoy your videos. Not only are you a great Chess player but you are very inspirational. As I sometime feel like giving up chess you always invigorate me to keep trying.
Laughed My Ass Off to Your Playing to that Music! Fun 7 unexpected, .. a bit Hilarious, Thanks, .. Mike.
When you got mated at 3:03:22 the song made it so funny
Hall of the Mountain King
Has fit perfektly to BlitzKrieg chess, since 1875.
The music was AMazing. CHESS Teaching even better. Thanks g B)
