The reason I subbed to Eric in the first place was coming across a video of his where he posted a loss. That humility of his and his ability to turn games like this into teachable moments really earned my admiration. Plus he's so adorable when he's salty.
Wow :) That's me! First of all, sorry for the dirty flagging, and secondly I have to say that I prepared this line in Stafford and wanted to test how it is working against Eric!
@@leadnitrate2194 In fact, I was really lucky to find that! I didn't saw that in advance, and found it in the game because every other move was losing! I was actually thinking about Qxf8 and playing with two bishops first!
Was waiting for this video for a long time. Not only it gives me the answer to best line for a Stafford game in which I got crushed, but also as always I fell better after watching. You have the highest ratio of skill over humility of all chess players I know. Love your content and personality.
for all of you struggling against the line eric's opponent played with e5 d4 and Be3, a tricky move is c5 where most people will play c3, allowing cxd4 cxd4 and Bb4+ with a devastating attack, I recommend looking deeper with an engine
Eric must be the most positive guy in the world. No matter the situation he always finds something positive to say. "At least that wasn't rated though". Down material: "At least the king is safe" Blundered something: "At least I'm up on time".
5:02 Rook takes pawn is a blunder isn't it? After bishop takes rook, white has threat of Rxe8 checkmate. Even if you trade a pair of rooks first, the threat is still valid. So you can't take queen bc of checkmate, and the bishop is protected so you would be a whole rook down. Someone please comment if I miss anything.
Yeah, looking at it now, it's loosing a rook for a bishop. However if bishop takes d4, and white takes bishop, rook takes rook i think is winning. But it depends on what white moves, rook takes pawn can work depending on white's move.

Hi Eric, one question...Stafford gambit...after 5) e4-e5, Nf6-e4 the White plays Qd1-e2 (is it the best move?) What's the best move for the Black in this position?
3:29 a better move would be to take the white queen with the bishop. White bishop takes black queen attacking the rook. Black bishop that took the queen takes the white bishop and checks white. If the pawn takes, you take it back with the black rook and it will be out of danger. If the pawn doesn't take and the white king moves out of check, then you take the pawn with your bishop attacking the white rook on g1. G1 rook takes g2 bishop. Then you bring your black rook to e2 protecting the bishop and out of danger.
10:21 i think you could have gone bishop D5 to protect your queen and take his queen, but i'm not that good so might miss something about this move lol
Black was the one who ran out of time. This means (to prevent forcing draw by running yourself out of time) White wins if they have the possibility for checkmate. It's fair to argue (With subjective common sense) that White *couldn't* checkmate, and thus, it'd be a draw.
5:09 opponent could have played 29. Ba7+ , trading away a bishop but winning a rook. (Yes, I was following along with an engine, and yes, I know this is rapid :-) )
I like Rosen and I love the Stafford and as a kinda beginner I find that the Stafford works enough times for it to be a lot of fun..but..flagging is sooo boring. Maybe I am just too old but I would actually rather lose than go through this...
Me binge watching all variations of Stafford gambit so I can learn Meannwhile Eric just keeps on making new variations but doesn't remember the correct line and still wins
I believe that this loss is the same thing that happened to Magnus Carlsen in one game when he ran out of time. According to FIDE rules, if it's possible to get mated with the pieces that are on the board, then it's a win for the opposing side. If black didn't have a pawn, then it would be a draw, but if black would place his king on a1, then he could get mated, so it's a win. I'm curious what would happen if white had two knights, and black would ran out of time, because in theory, black could get mated with tho knights if he wanted to
I found an unbeatable chess challenge. Even you can't pass it. Its on watch dogs the video game. Survival Chess level 10 in the east side of the loop district, by the piers. I challenge you to get 3 stars on this challenge.

thanks for the after game explanation. interesting to see your train of thought.

This is why you play with increment, kids
That losing reaction hahaha, love how you paid it tribute by zooming in on it!
@@tomdaley6463 Im sorry eric but im not interested in marketing spam. wth
It's a fake account

My earphones are little loud but they are perfect for Eric streams.
losing that first game is the most emotional I've ever seen Rosen get
3:27 DANGER LEVELS!
That's the most rage we will ever see coming from Eric.
"bishop is enough mating material" nah, you are mating material
This is the most Eric Rosen title I have ever seen and I’m all for it
Last time I was this early Tal still had his queen
Damn, the game became so fast near the end I couldn't even follow.
3:29 a better move would be to take the white queen with the bishop. White bishop takes black queen attacking the rook. Black bishop that took the queen takes the white bishop and checks white. If the pawn takes, you take it back with the black rook and it will be out of danger. If the pawn doesn't take and the white king moves out of check, then you take the pawn with your bishop attacking the white rook on g1. G1 rook takes g2 bishop. Then you bring your black rook to e2 protecting the bishop and out of danger.
My god I learn so much in just 5 mins of ur videos
Unbelievable dude 👏
dude i love so much his chill vibe
My god that first loss caused Eric to go into a frenzy!!
Eric Rosen: "This is a cool move. Nevermind".
10:21 i think you could have gone bishop D5 to protect your queen and take his queen, but i'm not that good so might miss something about this move lol
My brain is playing tricks on me. For some reason I imagined Eric's blitz rating to be natural log of eight. Almost, but not quite.
Ah, happens to us all
Surely the existence of Eric's pawn on the board meant it couldn't be called a draw, no matter what pieces Eric's opponent had?
Black was the one who ran out of time. This means (to prevent forcing draw by running yourself out of time) White wins if they have the possibility for checkmate.
It's fair to argue (With subjective common sense) that White *couldn't* checkmate, and thus, it'd be a draw.
5:10 opponent should have played bishop a7
5:09 opponent could have played 29. Ba7+ , trading away a bishop but winning a rook. (Yes, I was following along with an engine, and yes, I know this is rapid :-) )
that "errrrr" should be on miniclips of Eric Rosen
this is why increment exists lol
This always works “When enemy attack your Queen, You Also Attack his/her Queen!”.
But then you realize that his queen was protected while yours was hanging, and you end up losing a piece at the end of the exchange.
The noises remind me of Gollum formerly known as Sméagol.
Hikaru?

Flashbacks of Magnus vs Alireza
Eric, your reaction to that loss was priceless, great video.
i was actually waiting for him to cover this move
At 12:10, isn't Qg4 mate in 1? Or am I missing something? I don't see why you would play Qh3 then Qg2
5:10 Ba7+ discover check to win the exchange :)
in move 19 why didnt he play bishop d5
@ 3:35 Does Qd7 rather than QxB still win material?
Man that was intense Rosen is an amazing chess player
Stafford gambit are so op that it getting bombarded left and right rn
white missed a nice skewer at 2:40 with bishop to h5
How would he even get the bishop to h5? And what use would he have of him there?

Man I was looking for this video
At 5:08, the opponent had bishop A2 move and trap your rook right Eric?
isn't Queen E2 on move 6 (instead of Pawn D4) also refuting?
Just a bit confused on move 21, coz he didnt have to sac his bishop, he could have just moved bD5
I like Rosen and I love the Stafford and as a kinda beginner I find that the Stafford works enough times for it to be a lot of fun..but..flagging is sooo boring. Maybe I am just too old but I would actually rather lose than go through this...
In 33rd move white missed very simple tactic Ba7+?
White blunders on move 29. If BA2+ white wins the rook and goes up the exchange.

6:31 that missed bishop trade though
@@tomdaley6463 fake Eric has arrived, interesting... 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔
Why did white win? I thought time out vs insufficient material was a draw. Is it because you have a pawn making it theoretically possible to mate?
Oof he answered
5:09 Ba7+ and white wins right?
Eric, what font do you use in thumbnails?
@EricRosen, at 3:28, isn't Bd5 still trapping the queen???
Bd5 alllows Bxd5 cxd5 Qh3, but perhaps that would have been better than what I played!
How do you divide the time bar into sections like that?
Wouldn’t White be winning with Ba7 at 5:10?
The dirtiest of dirty flags.
