  1. Please make a t shirt with: 'that pawn looks tender'

  2. Thanks for another great video to fall asleep too. And I mean this in a nice way, your voice and games are so calming 😊

  3. I believe backwards MagnusCarlsen's offical name is Bizzaro Magnus.

  4. those 3 words every girl wants to hear:
    "Stafford Gambit time"

  5. 1:08:37 I've never seen a player so skilled at creating stalemate possibilities as Eric. He has tricked so many people into stalemate he deserves the Stalemate GM title.

  6. Finally found out what gg means, it's geriatric gangbang…

  7. At 14.11 i don't understand why he didnt go Queen takes pawn instead of trading, can somebody please explain for me?

  8. Eric Rosen playing bad is still 10x me playing my best
