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:

Some nasty sound glitches on this video. 20:07 and other after 4 minutes
1st🤘😎
let's go Eric
😀
Hello eric
We're all ready for GM Eric Rosen to happen 🙂
lets go Ericcc
20:05 What is this sound ? I thought my headset was gonna blow up haha
The legend the myth the man itself Eric Rosen. 🔥
That mate was beautiful
Great game Eric . You were a good sport allowing the late grob mate to appear on the board . Most impressive was Varuzhan Akobian seeing in an instant what you and your opponent missed . 🙂
Edit :- A loss is a loss , but 500 dollars probably provided some consolation 😁 .
what does biggest upset mean?(in the prize distribution)
2:24 oh no my ears
I met Eric at the Chicago open yesterday! We all had lots of fun at the blitz tourney! It was great meeting you and watching you play live against GM Timur was so exciting! You’re very inspirational and humble, Now go n get that GM title my boy 💪
In my eyes you are the chess player whose matches are the most fun to watch! Thank you for existing <3
Thanks from the future for another great analysis!
Also, cg to winning some of the prize funds.
4:33 sorry for the dumb question, but how does the bishop move prevent the knight move?
He is French, so your pronunciation and spelling of his name is totally off.
' and I thought I was doing fine'….OH OH
Pawn mate
King mated on h1 oh lordy. Love it.
Delayed Grob had me in tears, Eric 😂😂😂😂
That ending position is beautiful
"I was happy to get opposition" lmao
Dude this Game was amazing
Mister vampire chicken – PLEASE double check for audio peaks. I listen to this on really high volume while driving and the periodic crunches were absolutely atrocious. PS – we've played exactly one game on lichess, rated blitz, and I checkmated you. Thanks for the win
what an amazing game, that's crazy ending
awesome mate
nice games eric, awesome mate
That ending! Wow!
You’re my fav Chess streamer!
Crazy that Edouard was born in 1990. Same year as Magnus, Nepo, Karjakin, MVL, Andreikin, Howell…
Jeez 2:25 gave me a mini heart attack 🤣
I really hope to play against you OTB now that I moved to St. Louis and became apart of the chess club, Eric! It's a low-key goal while I live here haha.
That ending was amazing. Thank you for sharing your chess journey 🙂
Oooh really nice end sequence. Thanks for sharing this game, Eric!
that checkmate was so cool
insane tactical sequences, thanks for the analyses as well as the stories eric
that is the most disgusting mate
wow what a dirty mate
Watching Eric is like ASMR for me
Dang sweet mate.
Eric, have you thought about collaborating with these GMs? It's gunny to think, but I would say you are easily in the top 10 of most popular chess players these days. It would be cool to see you do some work with these many really strong players who a lot of the chess world, and larger YouTube world, doesn't really know.
Damn, that was a beautiful checkmate. Can't be mad about that.
I miss Eric's videos from STL Chess Club
Each defeat brings Eric one step closer to beating GMs…
Brooo what a beautiful mate
wow he has 2700 peak rating
It's always funny to hear when a really good chess player can't recognize his opponents given that chess is a game where pattern recognition is so important, and pattern recognition is where facial recognition is performed. The only other case I've heard of is GM Larry Kaufman, who's pattern recognition skills were so bad that he wouldn't recognize his opponent when returning to the board. In Larry's case, the poor pattern recognition skills probably forced him to come up with the rules based algorithms that he later contributed to several successful chess engines.
It's possible that Eric's superior skills in teaching chess concepts is partially due to poor pattern recognition skills…
Lovely mate at the end
