      This kind of enthusiasm for making a stalemate from a losing position is exactly why Rosen has become so good at obtaining draws. I may be biased, but I've heard a lot of GMs mention Eric as being one of the best at stalemate tactics and it's precisely because he's a motivated student.

  • @cliffworsfold1994
    @cliffworsfold1994 3 года назад +37

    This should definitely be the name of the manoeuvre! When your king and queen are in the corner in a lost position, and the opponent takes the queen expecting a recapture while they premove something else. Similar to how the “Lefong” is when you play Bh6 while someone is premoving their fianchetto sequence, so you take the bishop and the rook for free

    • @rosiefay7283
      @rosiefay7283 2 года назад +1

    When I first used the Rosen Trap I was so happy to play chess that I read books about it.

    It's true, sometimes a stalemate feels more amazing then a checkmate.

    After playing a game full of bulnders I almost stalemated like the one shown at 1:12 but opponent blundered and let me win. All thanks to Eric Rosen 🔥😎

    So many times he full on hangs his rook every move just to force stalemate. Beautiful.

    The fact that he chooses to either force stalemate or repetition amazes me.
