In this video, I share my final game against GM Romain Eduoard from the Saturday Night Special Chess Tournament at the Saint Louis Chess Club. The tournament featured a $2,000 with a $500 first prize. See the analysis of my first 3 games (all featuring crazy gambits) in this video:

How did you spend your prize 💰💸?
Congrats on getting opposition at the end!
That's an amazing game
🔥🔥🔥🔥
💪💪💪💪
gg
super weird sound crack at 2:24 haha
I was the guy that said Queen C2 and not Queen C7 so thanks for calling me out as the 1 guy lol
Love your content like always. Thanks
It takes bravery to beat a GM but it takes even more bravery to post a (beautiful) loss to a GM
it’d be cool to see the game in real time after you do the breakdown.
also the delayed grob is my favorite mate now
that is the sickest mate ever. I can only hope to some day be on either end of a mate that amazing
Ha! He must watch your videos. That's classic Rosen endgame play.
Wow! What an incredible mate he found at the end. Tou-fucking-che!
Still waiting for your recap of the match against Levy
Eric got to opposition..offered a draw..
Only Eric Rosen will publish his losses … because it's too beautiful to be hidden.
Everybody loses. Just gotta take it with Eric's grace and good sportsmanship.
A little warning: there's an audio glitch at 2:25 it scared the heck out of me
I gotta look into joining a tournament but it would have to be blitz … Highest rating was 1900+or- usually 1700+ 😅
He sent a knight and two bishops to escort you to a tea party. What a stand up guy.
Great game, and a beautifull mate.
Maybe this theoretical question is not even possible, but what is the rule if a pawn move like the checkmate, here, had been subject to en passant that would stop the checkmate?
Hello from the future, Eric!
I found Eric because of the first IM not a GM tournament, and his game with Levy.
e3 is like the opposite of f3.
Anytime you play e3 it is good.
"Checkmate by moving a pawn up 2" should be a Rosen Trophy!
At least I got opposition, fair point
8:37 "and the one person who said queen C2 but meant C7" I feel personally called out 😂
Hello Eric, I haven't put the position on an engine but at first glace B-d5 looks like a good move instead of your pawn move to c6. This keeps the b2 to h8 diagonal closed. By the way, did you receive the book I sent you called "They thought for themselves"?. I am wondering if you had a chance to look at it? Congratulations on your success in the "I am not a GM" speed tournament.
Wow, what a mate, just wow.
at 4:05 "we´re both fully developed" Well you are both grown men, of course you are 😀 Cool game and awesome ending.
Eric you don't need to resort to things like playing Grandmasters for $500, if you ever need anything, I got you, you can stay on my couch. I don't want you roaming these streets with those dirty GRANDMASTERS anymore. There are many noble careers you have the chance to take son, think about your future!
A hard lesson to avoid gambling Eric 🤔
dirty checkmate sheeeesh
hey are you from niles north? i met you and ilan since i was on niles west. you ilan and sagar taught me sooo much. hope you're the same person has been a decade
3 weeks without any content, is everything ok Eric?
I am convinced that Eric Rosen will look like Bill Ackman in 20 years.
Rare move to deliver checkmate!
I miss Eric
we miss you Eric!
GREAT GAME!!!
GM Rosen vs GM Gotham
where’d u go
It's so fun to watch you and I also learned alot!.
I felt so caught when he said "also the one person saying c2 but meaning c7"
But also appreciated
does anyone know if eric is okay? he hasn't posted in a while now
Hi Eric, why ask for subscribers if you’re not going to post new content for weeks?
Eric where are you?!?
Rosen post vids what's happening! 😭😭😭
Not sure why you stopped posting on YouTube Eric but it sucks. Please come back!
What a beautiful mate though wow…
