Hey Eric, I used to be 7th best in my state for my age in chess a few years ago, but I quit. After discovering your channel on youtube, and watching you play crazy gambits and go for insane attacks, I rediscovered my love for chess. You have inspired me to start practicing endgames and revising opening traps and theory, as well as solve puzzles and play matches every day, so that I might eventually become as good as you. Keep up the great work, you’re amazing 👍! Btw loving the upload schedule, I always stay up until 10:00pm because thats when your videos come out where I live.
@@coppermat Eh, it's impressive but certainly not outrageously so, assuming he's refer to 7th in his state's chess tournaments, as opposed to the 7th highest rated from his state. it also depends on which state, as certainly 7th best in New York is very different from 7th best in Wyoming
I'm beginning to suspect Eric enjoys making custom artistic thumbnails just as much as winning with rook & eyes odds. And why not, I'd be proud of myself too. Also, the man understands how clickable something is when it's hand made and custom.
11:00 wow this looks tough. I hope Eric finds a chance to finally castl... Oh. Right... Damn. Also, the "be grateful for what you have" had the ring of a hard-won philosophy. A crunchy life sandwich of excellence, humility, and his opponent's chewy pieces.
The Rosen with that daily upload. Your opponent did have the sportsmanship to give you some extra time to go blind. Unfortunately time also caused his downfall.
@@johansmolinski This is true. Maybe he could set up a second window spectating the game and record that one, just so he doesnt have to bear with typing.
Great video as usual Eric ! Eric any tips for inceasing ELO from 1700 to 2000? Which players' attacks were the best in chess so i can study their games?
Paul Morphy used to beat people down a rook. Eric Rosen casually beats people down two rooks, blindfolded, providing commentary and live streaming the game on twitch. Go Eric! :)
Try the London, there’s less tricky lines and it’s largely straight forward. Alternatively you could go with the spanish or italian if you think you’d be more apt for 1 e4 play
Im also at 1100 I recommend learning basic principles for common openings like first 5-6 moves for an opening. My main opening for white is Queens Gambit and for black sicilian and french defense
Correct me if I’m wrong Eric, but isn’t your blindfold supposed to be worn the other way around (i.e., that there is extra space for your eyes inside and not less)?
Your eyes already have space, tho, your cheeks and your eyebrows are forwards in relation to your eyes, the blindfold fills that space só it's harder to peek
You can try to force your opponent to trade material or if your pieces are on good squares attack and pressure your opponent as much as possible to force them to play defending moves that weaken their king alot of the times you'll be able to checkmate or win more material that way .
Come on man ! Play atleast 2000 rated players , poor 1500s they dont know abt game tat much , they're still learning , u come and beat them upload on utube, whereas the other side penguin beats avg 2500 to 2600 ultra blindfolded and he just dont care abt youtube.

Lol the joke is unintentionally dark
“Mmmm.. grey area. Wait what about grey area?”
Some black and white minors
uh oh
Petition for Eric to stick some googly eyes on his mask
Maybe a second redeem option with googly eyes
@@eduardoayala3204 that's gotta be worth more, way more.
Oh my gosh YES!!! Google eyes must have

When you sac 2 rooks and 2 eyes for the mate
The opponent: 👁️ 👄 👁️
Eric: 👄
*the opponent:
🏰 👁👄👁🏰
nice meme
15:31 Chat: Dont forget to sleep, good night!
Eric: Oh, good _knight_ ... also, good bishop
BARS
🤣🤣🤣
1:15 Eric reaches into the void dimension
reminds me of a scene from Vivarium
he reached into your room
2:53 not without a price
Wow the Pan's Labyrinth sequel looks great.
hahahahaha lol
great film eric will see me in my nightmares now
👁️👐👁️
Haha! Love that movie
Just watched it for the first time less than a week ago, was pretty good
"My opponent didn't see that" - said while blind folded...

@@danielr8257 fair
Whenever I see: oh no my... from Eric
I already feel bad for the other person
Eric couldn't, because oh no his eyes
@@Boss.Stephen lmao😂😂😂
the blindfold thing never gets old, it is so inpressive
Impressive*
@@deepslates thank you for your contribution I had no idea what they were trying to say
xD
"Good night. Also good bishop."
AMAZING

OMG Eric has the powers to control time and space! 1:15
he reached into lichess' backend

1:12 Eric leaves through the H-file
1:22 Eric enters through the H-file
This thumbnail is terrifying
El laberinto del fauno reference, good movie btw
I like how he always wonders where the blindfold is and then he finds it instantly.
Instantaneously
1:40 his opponent increased his time :)
been a couple of days since I watched some chess content, great video to come back to it
13:53 wouldn't Bc4 avoid any material loss? The g8 knight is undefended. Though it wouldn't have worked if the knight was on f6...
I don't see why it doesnt either
Eric can even store things in the Lichess notes. Savage.
I've noticed lately that your hands reflect a lot of green light, giving your hands a strange look.
Spooki szn
I think it's mould from having been in quarantine so long without sunlight.
I think he’s a zombie
Likely there is some green light from the monitor and his hands are nearest to it when typing.
"Don't mess with a rookless hippo" - Eric Rosen 2020
The biggest down side to not having rooks is that you can't "blunder" them and then checkmate the next turn. :(
why is this channel getting progressively funnier?
I cannot explain it for the life of me but him pulling his green screen down to get his blindfold has got to be the funniest thing I’ve seen tonight
"At least im not blind" said Eric with Alex looming behind him.
When he scrolled down the green screen my mind was blown - secret hidden worlds
I believe lichess has a blind mode, where you see the board and can click and drag pieces but the pieces themselves are not shown.
Would make the stream pretty unwatchable for mortals though.
@@johansmolinski This is true. Maybe he could set up a second window spectating the game and record that one, just so he doesnt have to bear with typing.
The sneak peak of what’s behind the green screen was cool
6:33 Alexa sounds like an angry girlfriend.
well that thumbnail is going to haunt my nightmares...
Alexa, you already know, or, you better know.. okay, setting a remindr for tomorr- no
Breaking News: London opening is Illuminati
Doesn't 13. Bc4 at 8:04 save the piece because of Bxg1?
rosen is doing magic in finding his blind fold
"Hmmm, gray area" made me lol
He gambled his eyes
It took me 30 seconds of silence and complete focus to realize what was wrong with the thumbnail
Your thumbnails are getting better and better
Ok the thumbnail is evolving again
Double fianchetto looked awesome.
Great video as usual Eric !
Eric any tips for inceasing ELO from 1700 to 2000? Which players' attacks were the best in chess so i can study their games?
Every time I watch an Eric Rosen video my Alexas get activated by his voice
eric bended reality to find his blindfold
Eric u make life better man keep it up
Paul Morphy used to beat people down a rook.
Eric Rosen casually beats people down two rooks, blindfolded, providing commentary and live streaming the game on twitch. Go Eric! :)
OK, I'll remind you tomorrow at midnight.
congrats for making every thumbnail really weird
No this one was way beyond really weird
Wouldn't 12. Bc4 have saved the piece?
Eric if I was to play Queen odds, 3-0, against a random 2200 blind, what would my score be?
eric's labyrinth
Eyes wide shut type thumbnail
Eric, was the blindfold chillin' today?
Oh no, my newborn child
Oh no my king!
oh no my rook! - jebaited
DAH my rook!- mated
Good night. Also, good bishop.
I m at 1100 which opening should I master??
Try the London, there’s less tricky lines and it’s largely straight forward. Alternatively you could go with the spanish or italian if you think you’d be more apt for 1 e4 play
Blindfolded Bongcloud
Im also at 1100 I recommend learning basic principles for common openings like first 5-6 moves for an opening. My main opening for white is Queens Gambit and for black sicilian and french defense
I am 2000 lichess and 1750 chesscom and i dont know any openings :(
I’d recommend the Italian, it comes off really naturally, and there are some nice attacking possibilities, such as the Fried Liver.
connect fork
How does he remember where all those pieces are?
Why my lichess chat screen doesn't have a secret safe to store stuff like Eric's?
Actually it has. You just need to find out how to open it.
Correct me if I’m wrong Eric, but isn’t your blindfold supposed to be worn the other way around (i.e., that there is extra space for your eyes inside and not less)?
Your eyes already have space, tho, your cheeks and your eyebrows are forwards in relation to your eyes, the blindfold fills that space só it's harder to peek
Whenever I tried to play any openings trap at start it feels like I'm willing. But at end game .. opponent took game😭😭😭 why...??? I'm at 1100
Endgames are tricky, a really good principle to get smooth wins from a winning opening is to trade pieces if you're up material.
You can try to force your opponent to trade material or if your pieces are on good squares attack and pressure your opponent as much as possible to force them to play defending moves that weaken their king alot of the times you'll be able to checkmate or win more material that way .
Also depends which time format are you playing, on bullet that usually happens
Green Screen? oh no my immersion
he got better at blindfold
I’m new here. He plays this game really blindfolded? That’s impressive.
It's impressive, but also surprisingly very common for chess players at not as high a level as you'd guess
Oh no, the thumbnail
WhEre IS My BlINdFOld ??
Eric, don't forget to do your staves.
I think the camera needs an upgrade!
2 rooks are worth 10 points
...what about 2 eyes?
The thumbnail is cursed.
Goodknight, Eric. :)
I'm a 1900 and I think I'm useless at chess. BikeJazz takes fucking useless to a whole new level!
when you're this early and there aren't even any good comments lol...
Whoever dislikes isn’t good at chess
That thumbnail tho lol
The best part of this video was the green screen reveal. No offense to Eric!
That thumbnail xD
Imagine getting pinned by Eric Rosen
Godny thumbnail
Hey Eric!!
Why does it always seem like Eric puts on his blindfold, and that's when people want to talk through the smart speaker? Let Eric Play.
Hi Eric!
Good game but opponent was poor
Sneaky eric, saying at least I'm not blindfolded just so people will donate :P
Could u train me please eric? Im a fan for a long timr but i dtill suck cause i keep forgetting ur trchniques
So early there's no views and 2 likes
You should draw shinigami eyes on the blindfold so you know when your opponent will meet his demise
I'm upset that you ended this vid on a joke that cheesy
Come on man ! Play atleast 2000 rated players , poor 1500s they dont know abt game tat much , they're still learning , u come and beat them upload on utube, whereas the other side penguin beats avg 2500 to 2600 ultra blindfolded and he just dont care abt youtube.
Did you realize that it's his opponent that challenged him?
He’s also down 2 rooks
Blindfold games are boring. Pls avoid.
