Man my problem with mouse slips was I get discouraged with my next move since I have things planned out. After watching these videos I learned not to give up right away and find a way to make it up.
Great comeback win! A lot of good lessons in there. Your commentary made it extra exciting and dramatic, especially the fortunate mouse slip. Bigups to one of my fave political pundits David Pakman for organizing the tournament.
Eric, you’re such an inspiration! I’m a new player and the way you explain things and how humble you’re makes you the best teacher! Thank you for your videos and all the best to you.
Me: there’s no way I’m watching almost an hour video Also me: going back after the video to rewatch the most intense parts again. On the edge of my seat the whole time.
Why in the hockey puck would you be like, “An hour long video!? Nooooo waaaaay!!! I got better things to do with my time… Like watching 65 ten second videos! Like, duh, nah-wha-I meeEEEAN⁉️ -✊🏾🐻💚
@@peep2268 aaaaaand ya obviously missed my point… But that’s OK. Oh! And you’re wrong! It’s 10.833 minutes long ;-) (since we’re being so “testicle” about it :-)......... that’s me being defensive about my math being ALL wrong😂 SMH😊
Whaaaaat I have been following your videos (mostly from the Saint Louis Chess Club channel) and Pakman for YEARS; so great to see the 2 come together haha!
I tried to work it out and if he plays b3 then black plays Bxd3, white plays Qxd3, black plays Rxc3, and white can't take back cause the rook is protected, at least that's my thinking ^^
He is better at explaining what's going on in the game than anyone else. I think it's because has a deeper understanding than the vast majority(possibly all). He also isn't in love with himself like a lot of youtubers that post on the subject. That quality of his makes him a lot more pleasurable to watch.
Such a cool position at 17:55 - if white did Be3xa7 instead it would look so weird and awkward that it may prompt black to blunder the game with Rf8-f7 :D Love the content, thank you Eric!
I know this is an older video but goodness it was a gripping tale, I for sure thought 1st was gone with that loss, and then you managed to clutch or straight down punish for it anyway! Love the videos, they've started to resurface my love for the game
I like chess, even not being a good player (I dont have neither the gift nor the time to improve). Thats why I really enjoy watching your play. Its so smooth. Keep it up!
15:40 Re4 is a nice alternative to what you played. kind of a rook fork, winning the exchange, or winning the centre. 28:00 Again a rook move. Rook e2 defends the pawn.
Thanks for almost getting the nakhmanson Gambit. Really waiting to see it on your video. I don't have twitch but really enjoy watching your RUclips videos
24:30 white to e4 if black takes it you trade knights and gain a fork on the bishop and the rook. With midlane open for the queen and rook moving bishop onto the knights position.
I got an ad about a woman who lost her child to cancer before the video and emotionally I really got pulled into her story and forgot about the video, and then suddenly I see a chess board and Eric saying “well anyway” and I just loled
At 15:44 I have a pretty interesting move sequence starting with Ne6. If fxe6, then Qxg4 threatening Bh6. If Bxe6 then Bxe6 and after fxe6 Qxg4 still threatening Bh6 and Qxg7#. Am I missing something or is this a viable option?
19:22 bishop D3 doesnt work either. Bishop takes D3 and if knight takes, Queen pins, but if Black Queen takes on D3, pawn takes knight and White Queen stays defended by the rook
Bob Ross is perfect, he should have the killing them softly in the background playing at all times. I do have one suggestion, @Eric Rosen you did a vid awhile back showing average view times and it was somewhere around 8 or 9 min maybe.. To pack as much content and shorten as many as possible. That is it. Love your channel.

Now do this for 12 hour marathon video he has in this channel
Nice analysis
Very nice of you, getting Eric to pin your comment since that's all he wants to do.
ANDROMEDA it was in this positioniero agadmatorino
29:42 "Don't resign when you have a knight" ... "Oh wait, I just dropped the knight. Argh, time to resign!"
Gold 😂😂😂
Best part hahha
Love this hahahaha
3:24 "are you Rosen?"
Eric: "yes, IM Rosen"
The name’s Rosen, IM Rosen
41:19 - Rosen has the golden touch. Even his mouse slips win him the game.
Best moment of the whole stream
That mouseslip was ridiculous
Some of his best moves are mouse lips.
Man my problem with mouse slips was I get discouraged with my next move since I have things planned out. After watching these videos I learned not to give up right away and find a way to make it up.
I mean make up for it
"There is time probably for one more game"
*proceeds to win 3 games in 5 minutes still having time to watch the game of the guy in 2nd place
ahaha :DD true dat
Lucky second guy played slower while he played super aggressive so he finished 1 more game than the second place.
I don’t often take the time to sit down and watch a whole tournament like this on RUclips, but this was ACTION PACKED and AWESOME!
Same here
@@danielzaiser It's funny because it's true. And Eric's voice is so calm.
Totally agree Eric content is something to watch and relax
This guy is the Bob Ross of chess. Respect
I personally disagree. I think Yasser is better described as ‘The Bob Ross of Chess’
I compared Eric to Bob Ross a year ago. I wonder if others have come to the same conclusion. How often and when?
No. It is Vishwanathan Anand.
Sanjeev Khurana he might be if he streams or commentates more
LOOK UP “YASSER”
That "mouse slip" was an unconscious stroke of genius. Caused your opponent to waste time and it ended up leading to checkmate. Well done!
I wish my mouseslips were as good
@@Snoooo its always my queen
Eric Rosen: *mouseslip
Opponent: "Wait, what? OH DUDE! THIS GUY IS A GENIUS!"
"Knights are tricky! Don't resign when you have a knight."
famous last words
Fun fact: I actually found Eric Rosen because David Pakman said he liked his streams :)
Welcome
Who is david pacman??
@@xXErr4rXx one of the most famous liberal political commentators on youtube.
@Blake Peaden Were you dropped on your head?
Me too!
"That was a mouse slip I'm just losing a piece now, unless I'm not"😂😂😂💔
He’s picking up his comedic voice via Ben “Finegold”. The young grasshoppah’s learning from the mastah🎶🎻🦗
Great comeback win! A lot of good lessons in there. Your commentary made it extra exciting and dramatic, especially the fortunate mouse slip. Bigups to one of my fave political pundits David Pakman for organizing the tournament.
"this bishop is awkward, seems like he's in a committed relationship with the queen" ahahah
Instant classic! 😅
55:58 "you are the goat"
Rosen: oh thanks, the goat... I'll take that as a compliment
lmao
Eric, you’re such an inspiration! I’m a new player and the way you explain things and how humble you’re makes you the best teacher! Thank you for your videos and all the best to you.
41:19 when the gods of chess slightly deviate your mouse to give you the right move :D
Great games Eric, thanks for the content ! Cheers from France
Me: there’s no way I’m watching almost an hour video
Also me: going back after the video to rewatch the most intense parts again.
On the edge of my seat the whole time.

Great content Eric, Keep up the good work.
I miss these long videos!! 56 minutes of goodness. Whooooh.
So amusing watching you mouse slip to victory. Thanks for being awesome at chess with such a humble chill attitude about it.
Eric starting every game: “This is not good for my opponent” Badass haha 😎
New to chess and glad I found this guy I'm no Bobby Fischer by any stretch but this guy explains it so well.
Fell asleep during the stream..here to finish what I started!
he makes good asmr
23:39 "I can't play b3"
b3 is one of the top choices of Stockfish.
But why can't he play b3?
Would also like to know
Maybe it's one of those lines only engines can follow.
I tried to work it out and if he plays b3 then black plays Bxd3, white plays Qxd3, black plays Rxc3, and white can't take back cause the rook is protected, at least that's my thinking ^^
@@bienangelo9161 No, there's no line to follow. There's nothing that speaks against it. We'll never know why he thought he couldn't play it.
He is better at explaining what's going on in the game than anyone else. I think it's because has a deeper understanding than the vast majority(possibly all). He also isn't in love with himself like a lot of youtubers that post on the subject. That quality of his makes him a lot more pleasurable to watch.
56:00 Chat: “You are the G.O.A.T.!”
56:05 Eric: “Oh, thanks… the goat... I’ll take that as a compliment.”
You’re so damn good!! I can watch these for hours.
"Knights are tricky.. never Resign when you have a Knight."
*Loses Knight*
"Agh, time to resign."
Such a cool position at 17:55 - if white did Be3xa7 instead it would look so weird and awkward that it may prompt black to blunder the game with Rf8-f7 :D Love the content, thank you Eric!
41:18 Caissa is with you., Eric.
Just went and checked the YT vid, great atmosphere on twitch, it was amazing to watch! Hope to catch you again soon!
I know this is an older video but goodness it was a gripping tale, I for sure thought 1st was gone with that loss, and then you managed to clutch or straight down punish for it anyway! Love the videos, they've started to resurface my love for the game
Yay, a new video with several games! I'd missed those. Highlights are nice but so is this relaxing content
Knight g1 setting up for the next game killed me 😂😂
Loving these long videos. Keep uploading these please!
Excellent performance, Eric. Nice to see attacking chess and the games are better when you don't berserk! Well done.
34:16 is he saying "fossil"? I've heard Hikaru use the same term, what is it exactly? Thanks!
It's like how a fossil is hidden under stone, the rook hides behind the bishop, ready for attack on Black's queen
Hikaru uses "fossil attack" to mean "discovered attack"
It’s an xqc meme
Fossils are discovered so if a move in chess comes with a discovered attack, some cool kids call it a fossil.
Makes a ton of sense. Thanks!
I fall asleep to watching your videos every night now, youre just so god damn relaxing to watch
Yea bro I feel that, helps me so much to sleep every night
Same bro, crashed on this.
I like chess, even not being a good player (I dont have neither the gift nor the time to improve). Thats why I really enjoy watching your play. Its so smooth. Keep it up!
I love watching how he thinks while playing best chess lessons ever!!!
So calm, like the voice and rythum and so instructive good job
Mad respect as I watch both you and Pakman.
Eric you constantly remind me why I cant break 2200. I love your videos. Thanks for taking the time!
The amount of theory you know is incredible. I can't believe you're not a GM.
Nice to have an IM share his thoughts as he plays.
"Splay this move." - Eric Rosen
You are the Goat
Eric~ “....... I’ll take that as a complement” 😂
15:40 Re4 is a nice alternative to what you played. kind of a rook fork, winning the exchange, or winning the centre.
28:00 Again a rook move. Rook e2 defends the pawn.
On the second one the opponent responds by going QxE4, you're forced to respond by taking with the Rook and then you lose the pawn anyway.
42:02 You did not say "Oh no my Queen!"
Always treat to watch. Learned many things
That was great fun, thanks Eric!
Thanks for almost getting the nakhmanson Gambit. Really waiting to see it on your video. I don't have twitch but really enjoy watching your RUclips videos
You outdid yourself with this one, Eric. Good job
I just love the way u say "ok Stafford gambit time" aahhhhh ❤️
Never expected to hear Pakman's name in this part of town
"Neff SAID"
You're strong as hell, I wanna play like you someday
If you work you will get there
24:30 white to e4 if black takes it you trade knights and gain a fork on the bishop and the rook. With midlane open for the queen and rook moving bishop onto the knights position.
i've been watching both your guys' channels for a while. wasn't expecting this cross-overlap. great games!
I love falling asleep to these videos
I like watching your videos. I played when I was young and started again lately. I'm 58 now lol I get by ass kicked daily, but it is still fun!
That was dope Eric amazing Salut !!!
At 2:57 any reason he doesn’t play Nef7?
That was insane. Congrats!
I got an ad about a woman who lost her child to cancer before the video and emotionally I really got pulled into her story and forgot about the video, and then suddenly I see a chess board and Eric saying “well anyway” and I just loled
can u pls try "the nakhmanson gambit"
He already knows it
Wish I had this calm nature in life 👍 What a legend!
at 48:40 there is a nice sack: bishop takes the f7 pawn. I believe this is winning for white
Great Chess Player! I watch your videos frequently.
A pawns: disgusted drake face
Double D pawns: satisfied drake face
Doctor: *You have an hour left to live*
Me:
41:15
Oh no no no no no
Call an ambulance!!
CALL AN AMBULANCE!!
BUT NOT FOR ME
Proceeds to checkmate
It's only because of toggy that we were able to watch this brilliant stream 🔥
Very nice run to an epic ending, well done!
At 15:44 I have a pretty interesting move sequence starting with Ne6. If fxe6, then Qxg4 threatening Bh6. If Bxe6 then Bxe6 and after fxe6 Qxg4 still threatening Bh6 and Qxg7#. Am I missing something or is this a viable option?
Mouse slipping into a checkmate lmao. Incredible
Put content on YT always, I love it! 😎
Game 2 made me want to learn the smith-morra, it’s so good that your opponent sacks all their pieces and gets mated within 12 moves lol
26:34 can black play Nxe3+ after Ra-d1? Sorry I'm bad at the game and I don't see a problem with this
Why dont you fork the queen and rook at 3:03 ???
so can we all agree that knight is the most annoying thing when there are not a lot of pieces on the board?
I enjoy watching your videos. Thank you.
Best moment was when a mouse slip led to mate and Eric saw it!
That mouse slip was spicy
Excellent games. Very thrilling until the very end!
Incredible finish, wow man!
The mouse slip gods smiled upon you!
19:22 bishop D3 doesnt work either. Bishop takes D3 and if knight takes, Queen pins, but if Black Queen takes on D3, pawn takes knight and White Queen stays defended by the rook
That last win was as clutch as it gets
that was nail-biting! what great games!
What's the Natminson (?) Gambit that he mentions at 4:06?
16:44 any reason why Nxb7 doesn't work?
Congratulations Eric!!! You're really a professional player. Nice Gambits tho
Youre the GOAT! (Goat = Greatest of All Time), I need to study these games, see what makes them work so well, great content as always, congrats on #1
The Stanford gambit brings me joy :)
Ya gotta just feel so smug after this one 13:00
goat = greatest of all time! I knew when you said top 5 that you would get #1
Bob Ross is perfect, he should have the killing them softly in the background playing at all times.

Try Bishop to h6. 17:05 Threatening mate and the best way to stop it is to sacrifice rook (Bishop takes) after pawn to g6
