@BobbyFischer0000 The "massive blunder accepted" variation of QGD is still relatively unknown at GM level. It's my secret weapon (that I use to shoot myself in the foot).
I was on the stream when toggi said "tomorrow is the day" or something like that, I saw the "7" on his name an guessed immediately it was going to be his birthday. I remembered at my job yesterday it was probably some chess fan's birthday. Happy birthday late toggi.
@@brunolevilevi5054 from the streams i've seen them, toggi seems to be a very active viewer with an emote deticated to them and over like 250 gifted subs and tons of bits Edit: they might also be a mod too
@@koyaaanisquatsi Toggi is a very old subscriber of Eric Rosen on his twitch stream regularly gifts subs to him I have been hearing his name in every stream since I started watching Eric and that's well over 2 years
At 21:06 Eric had mate in 5 , if he played bishopf3 white cant take back with the pawn because queenh2 checkmate, so white needs to give up queen and its just forced mate. nice game :D

I like how Eric is at level that he casually crushes 2300-rated players and has no problem finishing such players off while under significant time pressure.
@@RomanBelisarius i think that it is very difficult a perpetual when your dark square bishop and both rooks are defending so well the king, and deflecting the bishop can stop Qg1# but not Qxg2#
Eric, I’m no good at chess so this line might not make sense, but at 29:16 you claimed that white couldn’t play G3 because of QxF3, but if that move occurs then couldn’t white play Be4 which kicks out the queen and you cannot take because if you take with the rook white retakes with queen, forcing a queen trade or they just win the knight and then they’re in arguably a better position since they’re up material before this attack started?
At 17:40 is bishop F1 a winning move? I'm not very good at chess and don't have time to calculate before my break is over. Seems from there white is forced to take bishop and be down their queen or take rook and king gets chased until it gets to f column where the black queen and dark square bishop are protecting it surprisingly well. Anything but that seems to be queen g2 covered by dark square bishop or if they take light squared with rook you just take back with queen and mate.
Nice video as always Eric: educational and fun at the same time! What do you recommend in the Queen’s Gambit Declined, when White has a setup where Sg1 goes on Sge2, and then going with f3 intending push e4? Thanks for your thoughts!
At 17:00 doesn't Bf1 just win here? It guards g1 from the rook and there's no way for white to take the checkmating pieces. Maybe Rc8 since the bishop stops defending that square, but I think it should be okay after the rook trade and Rg8
28:40 funnily enough I actually found Nf4 and saw the idea of mate on g2. But then I saw that after e5 black's queen cannot get on either g5 or g6 so I kind of threw Nf4 out. I completely didn't see that you can afford an extra tempo with Qe6 and still have the tactics work.
"Low stress and high chess" - the best way to describe Rosen's streams!
This^
Except the tennis ones XD
Only Eric could actually make the Queens Gambit Declined an exciting opening
I can do it too. As long as my opponent plays the "massive blunder accepted" variation.
What about Charles White?
@BobbyFischer0000 thats not what they implied

@@weetabixharry That's part of my prep. Just today I blundered my queen on move 12 just to get counter-blundered on move 25 and win.
23 moves of preparation to win a pawn. Great stuff ;)

30:20 say hi to Toggi "Hi to Toggi!"
I've never been on the Twitch stream but it already seems like Toggi is that guy everyone knows :D

Absolutely insane you manage to edit amazing thumbnails, make RUclips videos, stream and still prepare such deep lines in chess.
Dedication!
Ah a fellow "philospize this" Listener
I’d like some merch with “Less Stess. More chess” and “Engine Approved.”
Eric, your “How to dodge bullets” / Matrix thumbnail is epic!! Major props.
Happy late Birthday, Toggi!

I like how two of the chapters in this video are about toggi.
Thanks for the great video, Eric!
i appreciate the work you do on the thumbnails

Lol
lmao this is gold
2:12 everytime i give up my queen in 6 moves
Hi Eric! Great prep, could you cover what to do against the lines with Ne2 followed by f3 and e4?
At 20:36 move 38 Qg5 you can play Bf6 securing the g-file
"I think we're still in my prep, actually" - Eric Rosen
-Move 84
-Eric: “Okay, still in my prep.”
Hi Eric! I was just trying to solve the puzzle. At your move no 31, Bf1 to block & then Qg1 to checkmate.
Really fun game. Super sharp and high level. Would love to see more of this type of video. Don't get me wrong, I love pawn cubes as well!
'low stress and high chess'
never stop being you, eric
“It’s nice how math works”
...Perfect
@eric more tennis streams pls =)
Thanks for playing a longer games instead of the bullets. Amazing game
Happy belated birthday toggi,

Awesome game. I also would love to watch the puzzle survival

happi birthdai toggi
17:13 didn't you have Bf1 threatning Qg1# and Qxg2# or Bxg2# unstoppable?
cause white has rook h6, making unnecessary problems
@@nuvoma2385 yes it does but they don't make a checkmate because of the rook on a8. Bf1 is pretty unstoppable
Eric didn't want to risk perpetual check I suppose

Hey Eric, loved the video! Do you know any traps in the QG for White?!
What about Rb8 at 14:25? Defending through back rank tactics
Wow op and every one is first no question but only untill they refresh😂
Cool game!!

He has awesome editing skill
17:31 i think bishop b5 is a very good move
Hello Toggi! Happy belated birthday :)
Very nice game
Let’s go Toggi!
17:22 Eric you could’ve played bishop f1
Always avoided this trap by not seeing the fork in the first place.
hi toggiiiiiiiiiiii
HAPPY LATE BIRTHDAY
At 29:24 isn’t kh3 kh1 qxf3 a faster mate? Or am I over looking something?
