I got a stalemate trap over the board once. It was against a 1700 rated player and he was living on a +30 increment, it was a little more elaborate than your one, I had to sacrifice the queen but he had no way to stop it, and I got so excited I lost the ability to speak for the next 30 min and I was just thinking about you all the time, so thank you for that 1/2 point, Eric
I continue to enjoy your analysis of your games. When I was working in Saudi Arabia and visited Abu Dhabi, the food there was fantastic, cuisine from many countries or regions. Hope you enjoy the same. Thanks for sharing.
That would have been an epic otb stalemate! I’d love to see an engine analysis at the end of these to see any missed opportunities or where you went wrong
Was following the game live online, curious to see how your QGD panned out. I couldn't work out why the clocks weren't moving and the last few moves were missing - this explains it, thanks.
Eric you have such a beautiful way to play chess. You truly play it for the sport. Giving the other player the opportunity to finish it off and fighting to the end. What a beautiful dance! Amazing chess, love it
Thank you for another enjoyable recap. You seem moderately exhausted and mildly disheartened, but the fact of the matter is you kept it close against an experienced ~2600 GM. That bodes well for the future if you decide to make a harder push for GM at some point. Good luck in your remaining rounds!
Hey Eric what do you think about making a series of long game play like 15-30 mins in order to explain your thought process during the game in real time?
3 days ago, his other channel posted 4+ hours of the classical shield arena where he talks through 20 min time control games. It starts out too fast, but the opponents slow down and get more challenging later.
that KRp vs KR endgame you played is a typical chesstempo endgame (for the Black side to win), which would be rated around 1.900/2.000. I have played (and solved) many of those, but I wonder if I would win such an endgame if it happened in a real game. I was quite surprised to see this chesstempo kind of endgame happen in your game.
UA-cam won't let me send the link, but just go to the link Eric has put in the description and after Bg6 look at the masters database, it's the first game there
One things I'm really impressed by is Eric's mentality after a loss. I'm sure there's some internal disappointment but you'd hardly know it from his recaps. It's all about getting better for the next time and that is inspiring.
Does anyone know how I can send Eric one of my games to potentially react to or just see? I know he occasionally reacts to his subscriber's games, and I at the very least would like to get his reaction to it even if it doesn't make the channel
The position before lucena r in the lichess practice in the last practice and if the c pawn were a b pawn it would haven't been a winning endgame for black
in the space of GMs yes there are GMs that hit the rating and got the norms once and so forever have the title of GM vs the ones who are 26 27 28 hundred. the higher the elo rating gets the bigger the skill gap becomes much more so than at lower ratings. so the difference between a 2400 GM and a 2800 GM is maybe the same difference between a 1200 and a 2200.
18:37 the amount of times Eric has made this joke and explained that he didn't actually say it just makes it all the more funny haha
OH no my rook!

"he played it somewhere in 2016, so it's fresh in my mind"
And here i am thinking for 30 min what i ate yesterday.
Did you know that 2016 was 9 years ago? Feel old yet?
@@stewartzayat7526 bruh 2016 was 6 years ago lmao
@@apoorvasahoo2204 Stewart is from the future.
You guys are killing me. Haha thx for the laughs
Eric love your stalemate attempt, hope your opponent could see the fun of it lol
“I tried to react naturally and played kd2.” Lol. That got me.
Same lol
Prior to the 6:52 mark of your video, I was amazed you two were both still blitzing out your moves. Then the reveal...

I love your vicious traps and lines, I feel like you play so different from most players
Thanks so much for pushing out content. I really enjoy them late at night as I’m winding down from my day. Your voice is so calming

That endgame is on 100 endgames you must know! King cut off by two files

He'd done that already, look for "eric rosen classical games"
That's all he does
Look at his "extra" channel, there are his streams, sometimes it's not bullet or blitz
I agree, a dedicated series like that would be good

Thank you for the update!
3:05 Hi i was asking if anyone knows how he did that. i tried to do it on my lichess but it just opens another tab!
End game technique makes the whole difference betwenn masters and grand masters. You did a great game but the opponent was so strong
dude i have gotten so much better at chess from watching you play you can't even imagine
Well you also would expect a GM like Shankland to not break the rules by making an illegal move. So a stalemate trap could very well work!
Question: I cant decide between the kan or Taimanov? What are pros and cons of them? which one is better?
You did better than good that's for sure. That was an awesome game.
Love the stalemate trap at the end
3:06 how did he insert it?

Great game! I'd love to see a video on the Carlsen Kramnik game you referred to after your tournament.
Eric can you link the Magnus game you talked about in the opening?
UA-cam won't let me send the link, but just go to the link Eric has put in the description and after Bg6 look at the masters database, it's the first game there

And likewise, that he fought to the very end.
Could have easily resigned eariler
Fascinating

I believe you've shown us the Lucena position on Twitch before. Very instructive but sorry you were on the losing side. Good game, as always.
Un juego bastante complicado.
love you, eric
great game !!
Dude you are the best!!!!
Good game!
sorry you lost but there's no better way to lose than losing with good humour. gg
Well, Rd6 lost a pawn. Rxf7 didn't.
It's actually pronounced Hovhannisyan.
oh no my comment
Nice try mate, someone gotta get trapped at least once hahah
The position before lucena r in the lichess practice in the last practice and if the c pawn were a b pawn it would haven't been a winning endgame for black
He lost. No stalemate.
meming in otb chess - hilarious
Are there weak GM’s?
in the space of GMs yes there are GMs that hit the rating and got the norms once and so forever have the title of GM vs the ones who are 26 27 28 hundred. the higher the elo rating gets the bigger the skill gap becomes much more so than at lower ratings. so the difference between a 2400 GM and a 2800 GM is maybe the same difference between a 1200 and a 2200.
Hey Eric, I love your content, and your intro was great but your title was a spoiler ;)
1st lol
