Currently recovering from surgery, binged the whole series during the 12 day no upload and was all caught up💪🏽 now two uploads back to back it’s my lucky day
Get well soon
Get well bro
@@jaydub2971only replying because one of my nicknames is ' dubjay '
Have a good day!
Good recovery!
feel better big dog
Eric is my favorite RUclipsr.
I've found myself playing games using a lot of similar explanations to myself.
"This just looks natural." and "I'm opening up the E file." and ends with the ever popular "Oh no my checkmate!" as my opponent wins.
Ok, that might be the funniest comment on all the youtubes..
Hahaha
Oh no my sleep!
"Everything should be under control now" 25 seconds left, check mate feels far away. Eric would make a good airforce pilot or heavy machinery operator.
Amazing watching Eric hold against stockfish in the middle game and find mate in the time scramble against a 1700. Very, very interesting🤔
Okay, let's do the procedure
I was thinking the same thing until I looked up their account and saw the evaluation. Good defense but didn’t have any good attacks.
@@angelo1267he literally played the best or second best move for the entire middle portion of the game.
The evaluation is skewed by the beginning and end.
Wait, say again. Against Stockfish or against a 1700?
@@ArturoSubutex a real mystery
Leave it to a patriots fan to cheat lol 31:26
last guy was 100% cheating btw up untill move 38 (and the horrible opening obv.)
That does seem to be a pretty common tactic with players who aren't playing honestly. They start out with dubious openings, and then play top moves most of the time.
I'm no Vladimir Kramnik, but it's also pretty suspicious when someone takes a forty five second break after move three or whatever.
@@MrOttopants On top of that, dude completely changed his account name/picture after this game took place, definitely didn't want the attention.
Totally agree. And they closed their account after. Ha! Eric was so professional in not calling it out.
Congratulations to Eric to holding on while facing all these top moves in the middle game against GreekPatriotsFan... nxa5, dc, nc3, a4, castles kingside, qd3 ,b3, e4, qd2, ba3, rc8, qxa5, bxc5, qd2 (first top move when evaluating), nxd6, b4, kg2 (first top move when evaluating), c5, a1 (first top move when evaluating), a6 (first top move when evaluating), h3 (first top move when evaluating).... Also, here are 3 critical top moves from GreekPatriotsFan in the early middle game: f3, nc3, ne2. Congratulations to GreekPatriotsFan for finally getting the EVAL down to 0 against a 1676! Unfortunately, time scrambles are tough. Stunning game!
It was a little fishy, wasn't it?
@@EddieDubs a little stock fishy
@@xanboyyy You said it, man.
Changed their name to eminemthegoat1234
Think that last guy was botting you? Throw the opening, offer draw, and then go up a pawn on you with unending good moves?
Yes, definitely a cheater
two speedruns this week, you're spoiling us!
Eric this series has helped me improve an insane amount. Thank you for the great content!
Last oponent deserve a medal! just owerlooked that unnecessary pawn loss. I'm really enjoying this slow speedruns, they have a lot more quality and explaining, thnx a lot!
bro crumbled when he didnt have time to let the engine run lmao
Ok buddy 🤡@@MyBiPolarBearMax
last opponent deserves a medal shaped like a fish.. a stockfish. or maybe shaped like an engine.
@@alexm495my exact thoughts lol - guy was making the perfect move every time until the end but Eric isn’t suspicious because his mind is a computer lol
@@scottw502 Eric might've had a hunch but is too nice to say it in the vid. Sadly his first loss in this speedrun might happen to a cheater.. if so hopefully we can figure it out and correct the scorecard..
Life lesson by Eric: "If you can move forward, then you are not truly backwards"
I'm imagining Eric posing for all these thumbnails lmao. Good vids love the stuff
That last game was one of the best of the speedrun. I honestly thought he was trolling you at first, but that turned into a real blood match. I continue to be amazed at how calm you stay with less than 20 seconds. When I get down to a minute I start panicking and blunder my pieces. Well played.
What a weird opponent in the last game. "Hey let's draw, wanna play again?"
prob a cheater.. see other comments here..
Watching this series and listening to your thought process has helped me a lot.
I feel like I have a better framework for making better long term decisions on the board in any given opening.
Another one! Feels like Christmas
Just perfect. Thanks from Slovenia.
Game 2 was great! Loved the almost only pawn instructional position.
Yes, thank you! Lots of good lessons.
Enjoyed every SR video and now that you're at about my level they're even more interesting and instructional :- )
Keep em coming Eric! ❤
I'm just waiting for the video, when you say: I'm rated ... right now and when I peaked at this I started playing the Stafford Gambit.
This content gets me through any number of detergent adverts. Thanks !
Your pronunciation of "Umut Balkan" is just amazing
What a nice surprise... two speedrun episodes in 3 days!! Happy Day
Thanks again, Eric! Wow, that last game was a cliffhanger!!
Whoa I’ve never been this early. Thanks so much for this series Eric!
I'm really enjoying this "Beginner to Magnus Speedrun."
That first game was both inspiring and totally discouraging. White played a game I would aspire to and still just got steamrolled.
I created a chess club/program for youth at my local library back in 2012. We just got started up again in April 2023 after a hiatus for a couple years.
So I've been using the first 30 or so games in this series for some beginner instruction. It's sometimes just helpful for beginners to see a pretty simple game played solidly from beginning to end.
They are pretty happy whenever I bring up a Rosen speed run game. I also share with them some of the anecdotes that Eric gives about his rating and his play at their age. It gives them the understanding that they can learn and become good at a game they enjoy playing.
Lets gooooooooo!! Best partnof the day
Thanks Eric Rosen 😊
Best training on RUclips.
GO Eric!
Damn I thought 1700 might be impossible for me when I saw the last dude play toe to toe against an IM even with that joke opening. Seeing people say he was cheating kinda brings relief to my mind
Knight g5 in game two was quiet yet a thing of beauty 28:00
woke up early to take my roommate to the airport, can't go back to sleep now. Keep up the good work Eric
The last guy could have recognized you and wanted to draw because he was scared, idk if it's true, but it is possible.
This episode of 52 minutes felt like 5
2 vids back to back! LFG.... best series
I'm inclined to believe the last opponent was cheating, mostly because his name is "Patriots fan"
Late night special! Lets go!
12:18 "Not a configuration you see every day" indeed 👀
wow. The game with the patriots fan was great.
Hey eric, can you please play the stonewall?
hes trying to play very reputable openings only and i feel like stonewall is one of the weaker openings
Eric mentioned that in a future speedrun he might do more attacking and even dubious openings, like Stafford. So remind him when his next speedrun is.
There was something fishy about that last game. I can't put my finger on it.
Great games as always. I'm so curious why the third opponent offered a draw!
12:15 am. Perfect timing 😉
the last game was the best
I love you Eric
last game was tough nut to crack
Nice
In the first game, can you explain why you didn't play Qe5 before trading the bishop for knight? It would give pressure towards the pawn and you can always trade the knight for bishop later.
Just seemed surprising since you just said you wanted to hold onto the bishop pair.
Midnight Rosen!
Gambit my sleep. Got good compensation.
Creepy crawly knight!
Eric Rosen and my rapid elo is racing with each other
Slowly, slowly, the temperature is rising.
"I want to keep the bishop pair long term". Then proceeds to trade off both bishops for opponents' knights 😅 Strategy changes quickly in the game of chess it seems
thank goodness it doesn't take 134 straight wins without a loss to reach 1600 IRL
Another episode already? It must be the “speedrun video uploading” speedrun.
And as I gazed upon his latest RUclips upload, I remembered the line from the Hindu scripture, the Bhagavad Gita…‘I am become IM Rosen, the destroyer of sleep.’
Apologies for spamming but it would be cool to consider changing the settings in searching for a game - possibly Leo of +- 50 or even 25?
I love positional games like the first game you played Eric 👍🏻 nice work!
Do Jobova London one speed run episode!!
so the takeaway from the last game is that the opening doesn't matter
chessable course against 1.d4 when? :o
Last game seems like master vs master showdown, my noob mind couldn't understand what's going on. I would blunder away that game way sooner.
It least the king charged and died an honorable death in the first game.
Me: performing a sleep gambit
My happy place.
at 1:43, cant black go Nxe5, Qd4, Nd3? and then white cant take on e4 or f2. what am i missing
Last game, is there king h3 to win h4 pawn? Can h4 be defended?
I saw that too, but I think Eric liked the idea of opening the file for his rook and then bringing his queen over and attacking
So you finally encountered a cheater. (Last opponent)
2:55 how is the king pinned?
In the earlier sequence, at around 2:35, he has 2 attackers on the center pawn (knight and queen) and only one defender (opponent's knight).
2 attackers vs 1 defender would normally mean you can take safely, but after everything the queen would be on the same file as his King, so when the rook moves to the file, the queen is pinned to the king.
Moving the queen puts the king in check, and can't take the rook as it's guarded by the opponents queen.
@@whitecrayon3281Thanks, I missed him say "from the previous position."
Please make some Paco sako (peace chess) content.❤☮🕊
There was a video I saw the other day about a guy who created thirty different bots with different priorities. He then had them play a tournament against each other.
One of the bots was programmed so it would avoid all captures unless totally necessary. It was like pacifist chess.
134 game winstreak? very suspicious!!
49:25 Taking a draw on the second move is about as boring as riding the eagles to Mordor.
Riding eagles to Mordor would have been incredibly exciting for a brief period whilst the Eagles murdered the hobbits and took the Ring for themselves...
how to dislike that dude
Spanch open
25:25 A knight on the outpost does not necessarily have to have the support of a pawn. it is true that it must not be attacked by opponents pawns or other minor pieces.
1661 Gotham....
How many ladies are here watching Eric?
At least one.
I think.
it looks simple. I Simply lose
Why are my comments disappearing?
Love the series and love Lichess. One thing that i find odd is that even though it is very obvious by your winrate/winstreak that you are playing opponents that are below your rating, Lichess isn´t giving you progressive more difficult opponents to get you to your actual rating.
