When Eric says "there's a line where ... he means "when I play this, it is in my opinion inevitable that ..." He doesn't mean it's theory that something happens, he just means he predicts that if he plays some move, a given sequence will happen.
It's funny I thought i'd like the chat on the screen but having had it for that game at the start of this I actually didn't like it; I think it's because I love how chill it is to watch you play chess, and seeing the chat is distracting and thus detracts from that.
Most people watching live on twitch wouldn't want the "chat thing", but I guess it helps bring a sense of community here, on your RUclips uploads. Either way, you are very entertaining Eric! Thank you for the top-notch content!
Oh man can't stop laughing at the penguin game. Look up opponent's openings, prepare a line, and then get an idea over the board and walk straight into an area where you have no prep and blunder immediately. Too funny man, and been there. Keep up the great work!
I can’t be the only one to point this out but penguins = *antarctic* not arctic. Awesome job though. I love your content and it’s really helping me on my journey to get stronger at chess.
At 25:02 you had: pawn takes g6, Knight d4 to f5 protecting the other Knight and threatening the bishop. Then take g7 with bishop and it's a beautiful trap. Watching your games is fun.
And if bishop takes bishop, attacking your queen, then you can simply go to queen takes and opponent's queen is still attacked and the same sequence may happen or at least winning the queen for a knight.
Knight G4, attacking your queen and bishop, simply bishop takes with check and then queen F4, attacking the knight and opponent's queen is still attacked. If Knight d5, trying to counterattack your queen once again, you may even consider knight takes knight, just so your queen won't let go of this very powerful diagonal, even though you'll let a queen go. At least you're a piece up and your attack is still deadly, and also, you can return the knight to E7 if needed, so that they protect each other again.
1:24:44 for any non-germans having problems with "Zwischenzug": Try to pronounce it more like ts-wischen-ts-ug (ts as in lets, "Z" is a very sharp sound in german).
I respect you mr rosen. You are an astonishing chess player, I like. You inspire me in chess, and open my eyes into thinking new ways. Don't let anyone stop you.
In game 3, you have mate in 12 that DOES start with bishop takes g7 (and interestingly I was only able to get the engine to find this forced checkmate on a higher depth), but the queen sacrifice does not work unfortunately, you calculated everything up until you give that check with the pawn, and even though the king is stranded if he takes black actually survives and comes out a queen ahead basically, the only way to continue the line right after king retaking the g7 bishop is hxg6, even though it doesn't give a check it is still forcing, even after that you don't get the queen involved right away, it's a pretty cool line to take a look at if you want.
Eric rosen thanks to time management u got lucky on time 32:20 playing (w) bishop b4 would have trapped ur queen. Sometimes it may look like queen has a way out and can supposedly go all the way back but it’s very dangerous. Queen doesn’t have to be in front of the action to be apart of it. Nice games anyhow thx for the lessons. :)
Love the videos but please make it louder! You are so much quieter than the adverts that they kill my ears, so can only watch you if I have ad blocker on
At 32:14 there is 23. Bg5, trapping the queen ! After 23. ... Nf4, bishop takes, knight takes, king takes knight and your opponent would have won a piece.
Not sure if you will see this Eric Rosen, but at the 31:12 mark, doesn't that leave you down a piece? It appears as though your queen will be trapped and the net result is black being down a knight. Here is the move order- Qg2, Kh8 (32:02) , Bg5, Nf4, Bxh4, Nxg2, Kxg2... white's dark square bishop survives.
awesome video as usual ERIC< but @32:35 why not 23. Bg5 double exclaim!!!! i am surprised it was missed my chat, you and your opponent...and I saw it without an engine...KINGHTS on the rim are dim...so are queens.. i learned this from descent coaching. thanks my friend
47:31 did Eric blunder the rook king fork? I thought he did but opponent takes pawn instead. I’m only 800 rating. If I’m missing something please tell me.
"Ok, I have to focus!"

Never change, Eric.

That line, is very cool
Eric's lines are cooler though
Ngl, expected a rickroll
32:00 Eric blunders his queen to Bg5, but opponent is not interested. Funny how both spent fair amount of time on that move and both missed it.
after Nf4, it only drops a knight at least.

I've Just noticed the same thing and checked for the comments... I even checked the game on lichess to see if I'm missing something 😊

Perhaps related to his panic at Alexa announcing a date at 35:45.
That’s quite a bold statement from Eric. Didn’t expect that from him seeing as he acts very calm, logical, and reserved
( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Not for me thanks

Could record it separately and add it in edit
The only youtuber that I can watch his videos that are up to 1hr ❤❤❤
and he's posting these daily. I'm glad i came across this channel
His voice is soothing.
Great attention span
The solar eclipse talk brought back so many memories of that year... the best year of my life 🙂
Nothing like a cappuccino and an Eric Rosen video in the morning to set the tone for the day. Love the videos.
25:56 is this rxd6 mate?, unless im missing something, i think the beautiful queen sac line would work!
i believe so
@@kylum6809 ya was about to write this
yes it is
yup
rxd6 is mate, but the queen sac doesn't work for other reasons
Probably the only person I can watch so chilled and calm for hours is you 😂❤️
and what kind of eclipse is when the sun moves between the earth and the moon?

As a frequent teller of terrible jokes, I like this one. Not sure if that's good or bad..
I think it's kinda nice to keep the chat for youtube, so we can see reactions etc
No
No

No

Eric Rosen with 10 seconds left on both clocks
47:25 "I'm getting fork" and in the desperate attempt to not get forked he makes a blunder that allows his opponent to fork him...
@Radionixix Opponent missed it too, easy to do in game and under time pressure.
was just watching some of your old vids waiting for a new one to drop, you're really good at explaining what you're doing and why
Man this was EPIC .. Congrats on 1st place
"A sicilian dragon resembling some yugoslav" (20:34)
As someone not that familiar with chess, this is such a bizarre sentence
do u know any good, safe website to play chess?
Congratulations on the hard-earned win, Eric! You played well, sir!

And you come back and win!!! What a game! One to be proud of.
AND HE WINS THE TOURNAMENT! So much fun great video.
Oh the title is "My Best Chess Tournament of 2020" of course he wins I'm an idiot. :P :D Way more fun not knowing in advance though!
51:20 Thank you for the inspiration of my lichess name: EndGamesAreTricky
If Eric had a heart attack:
"We're losing him doc"
"Get the Debfibrillator stat!"
*EKG Flatline*
Eric: "That's a really cool line"
F
Just saw the whole tourney! You’re playing very clean eric! Gm soon?
Other chess streamers: blah blah blah with fast pace talking
eric: woooooow
60 years worth of human’s time has been spent on this video. That’s basically a lifetime.
Hey Eirc, nice video! I noticed at 12:58 your opponent could have gone dxc5 FIRST to win a piece.
i dont see it? sure it forks the queen and minor piece but black just captures pawn?
Yeah, dxc5 planing Nd7 then Nf6
This is an interesting line, but i think the way out of the fork after dxc5 is to play Qa6 attacking the undefended rook on f1
Rook D6 is mate in 1, if im not mistaken 😉
I can’t be the only one to point this out but penguins = *antarctic* not arctic. Awesome job though. I love your content and it’s really helping me on my journey to get stronger at chess.
I thought that too. I admit, I had to pause and google it for confirmation though.
52:42
Eric: e5 is looking attractive
E5: Eric not in front of the stream
Eric V Alexa was the highlight for me
We in youtube land would enjoy an on-screen chat a lot I think
Me too
Eric: prepares a strategy for the next 20 turns.
Opponent: does literally anything previewed
Eric: Interesting...
At 25:02 you had: pawn takes g6, Knight d4 to f5 protecting the other Knight and threatening the bishop. Then take g7 with bishop and it's a beautiful trap. Watching your games is fun.
Better knight C5 first, which also attacks the queen, then you can go to this beautiful sequence
And if bishop takes bishop, attacking your queen, then you can simply go to queen takes and opponent's queen is still attacked and the same sequence may happen or at least winning the queen for a knight.
Knight G4, attacking your queen and bishop, simply bishop takes with check and then queen F4, attacking the knight and opponent's queen is still attacked.

Well done Eric, your games are always enjoyable.
"Banished penguin to the arctic"
"oh that's where penguins live"
No, the joke is that that's the farthest you could ever get from where penguins live.
Best line "why is my score different than everyone else's? Because of math."
1:24:44 for any non-germans having problems with "Zwischenzug": Try to pronounce it more like ts-wischen-ts-ug (ts as in lets, "Z" is a very sharp sound in german).

I respect you mr rosen. You are an astonishing chess player, I like. You inspire me in chess, and open my eyes into thinking new ways. Don't let anyone stop you.
1:08:40 it always feel overwhelming to see our favorite eric rosen on first...

Bg5 would've been a queen trap on Eric's queen, at 32:17
edit: nm there's Nf4, though that still loses a piece when the king takes back after Ng2.
Agreed, Eric missed this, but so did the opponent.
I was looking for this comment! Black ends up down a knight.
How does he provide such great commentary while also providing such great chess?
I'm always watching from the future on RUclips
57:25 Your rook wasn't hanging because if he took w/ bishop his rook was hanging on d2. P.S. Love the videos.
Nice I didn’t see that
It was hanging but taking it would lose it back
Whites rook blunder was perfect timing
Dude I don’t know if you know this but taco fall is a 7 foot five NBA player for the Celtics. I wonder if it was really him LOL.
I was thinking the same thing lol. It would be cool if it was him tho
Not just 7 foot but like 7'6. I don't watch NBA but I remember seeing him in March madness, dude was like a foot taller than all the other players
1:08:03 It's so ironic that Eric beat Andrew Tang on time, when Tang is known as one of the fastest players in the world.

Beautiful setup to win that queen in Game 6
Opponent: ___

32:32 WHITE HAD BISHOP G5 Hehehehe good thing they both missed it 😅
Love watching Eric play, how does he stay so calm in those time scrambles !!!
25:53 rxd6 is just mate. That coulve been a pretty cool line if they went for it.
Accidental gambit new oppening by Eric
At 32:14 there is 23. Bg5, trapping the queen ! After 23. ... Nf4, bishop takes, knight takes, king takes knight and your opponent would have won a piece.
good point
25:55 rook takes d6 mate in one?
At 32:33, white bishop to G5, looks crushing for black.
Yo yo yo! I’ve been trying to catch you live! How do I find the times you’re streaming?

Was so excited to watch the pengiun game, especially in timescramble and then that happened xD
This was quite entertaining, thanks for sharing!
32:32 Bishop b5 by white trapping black's queen instead of Qb4? Do I missed something??
Queens would be traded after Nf4, but black would ultimately be down a piece.
47:31 did Eric blunder the rook king fork?
I thought he did but opponent takes pawn instead. I’m only 800 rating. If I’m missing something please tell me.
Just found out andrew is from Minnesota and he went to a highschool near mine. Cool.
Hey Eric, in your game against Fooldan he/she missed 23.Bg5 trapping your queen
i love that he has the im in front of his name b/c it makes it say I'm eric instead of just his name
Yes some more quality, hey when are you live usually Eric?
What app or website are you using
Ive been waiting for a long video🙌
12:45 Oh Christmas tree 🎄😂
Long video! This is gonna be a good one!
I used the eclipse to mow my lawn because the temp dropped by like 9 degrees and it was very nice.
Eric when they play bishop d 6 u have to play bishop G3 and if the take u take with h pawn and open the file for Ur rook
When you click on your screen at the beginning and it says confusing London you know it’s gonna be good
sorry if this is dumb, but how did he do that thing where he just searched for other games with the same opening? he did it at 7:30
Yeah I think it’s the app he’s using I think it’s called lichess
Eric: In the worst case I have c4
Me: COD moments flashing back

Yes. Both missed this.
Nice games! I have to move thousands of kilometers if I want to see a total solar eclipse in my lifetime. It's worth though.
YES CMON 1 HOURS VIDEO , i can learn many things
47:32 ... and after White plays Rg3, Black can play Ne4, then after White moves the Rg3, Nc3+ still picks up the exchange.
