The Waffle House has found it's new host.
Those board sounds are not good.
I love your voice
Eric is the only reason I love chess
I've watched this video 29 times already and can say this is a certified Eric Rosen classic
Oof pretty rough website.
Hans niemann: stockfish goes brr
23:07 that's one of Peru's top players, gives a lot of elite players trouble.
Ban all pitbulls!!! I work at a animal shelter and all pitbulls we receive are banned and illegal! We also actively search the streets here in Chicago and capture as many putbulls as possible!!!!!!!!!
Love Eric taking the delivery call while playing . The Gareyev game was great while the fishy opening guy trying a stalemate trick against Eric . 🙂
I've watched this video 150 times and I can confirm that it's an excellent video
Go to bed Eric it’s midnight
Is there a Rosen Trophy for having a package delivered during a tournament? Well played.
At 18:24, couldn't the rook go to d8 and its a win already?
Nice game against Garaaev
4:49 had me laugh out loud and wake my partner….. so classic. Awesome videos eric.
The waffle house has found its new host
first game, thought opponent was born 1942 <scans down to see Eric's d.o.b.> ahhh that explains everything
ERICCCCCC THANKS FOR THE LONG VID
Anyone else remembering that one time Eric completely lost it and smashed his whole room?
Me neither.
I love your wholesome content. Thanks for you being you. I like the Scotch. London opening is another opening I like.
the waffle house has found a new host
That Jose Martinez bishop move was absolutely sick. I thought he was Jospem (who is Jose Martinez Alacantara) but he’s from Mexico, not Peru.
The Waffle House has found it’s new host
36:16 – can someone explain why Eric doensn't play bishop x B5?
Does our hero ever panic?
Nice ai generated thumbnail background lol
Eric is so underrated
26:35 Bb8 is a beautiful move, damn.
GM is really on a whole another level.
my favorite chess background noise while working! yay Eric should narrate elevator music; his voice is so soothing!!
This is a certified hood classic
I love watching you play higher level opponents in serious games.
You absolutely could be a GM but it would be a lot of work and its funny because you see the complex stuff super easily and its just a matter of taking more time thinking out moves and then practicing end games stronger.
That second game was excellent. Id love to see the analysis because there was so much pressure and taking your time on each move and being incredibly solid eventually got it to relent and let you win a game that feels like you were being leaned on, if not technically down, the whole game.
Edit: i hope none of this comes across negatively, im very blunt with my words and youre far and away my favorite chess YouTuber (i watch you for education while being entertained, i love GM Igor Smirnoffs remote chess academy for learning because ive already watched all of your educational videos! The St. Louis tutorial on the London system is still my go to to this day and id watch anything else you made like that)
Could you do a video going over what you study for prep for a tournament? How you do it? I assume its player specific but its an interesting thing to see!
@1:15…in deep conversation with Hans Moke Niemann, concerning position…
Oh no, my delivery!
Have you ever played Knightmare Chess by Steve Jackson games? I would love to see a master play it sometime
Crccc c
If a person can play 50 games blindfolded, then he should be able to look 10 moves ahead with clarity, right? When playing a single game, Just pretend each move is a new board? Not sure if this makes sense. I'm new in chess so it astounds me when I witness high rated players show off their talents
Lol..should have had the heart rate monitor on for the last game
Eric is the Bob Ross of chess.
day 3 asking for breyer/chigorin spanish
18:29 Rook to d8 is also a good idea
“Rb5 was slightly more efficient than Rb4 as shorter mouse movement” – Eric Rosen 2023
4:50 yikes! That checkmate sound terrified me
47:36 promote to bishop
I liked the Delivery Driver Gambit Accepted game.
Crushing opponent while getting a delivery. That was epic. Great content.
51:40 I was looking at knight xc3 at this position instead of queen c7. I'm pretty sure it's the best move. This way you're trading knight for bishop and winning a pawn.
In the position at 18:30, there is a crazy move which actually works. Rd8!
more penalty poses from mr rosen.
