GM Sam Shankland is an opening specialist and is respected by professional Chess playery for authering many ideas. For example,GM Danya refers to "Sam Shankland Question"...it is not a viable move but what If play it?
I don’t understand how Eric can reach heart rates that I only reach when running hard intervals. He’s really putting his mind to work and his calm demeanour must hide a raging mind going over many ideas and positions in just a couple of seconds.
fun fact, how can you know he would have amazing tournoment or top 5 when he already lost one before eric? Lose one more of last 5 and your not even top 10
Just letting you know, you are the best chess teacher I have ever come across. I don’t know if you will ever read this, but I hope my well wishes reach you. Thank you!
Because it’s virtually impossible for older players to become GM Eric would have to quit streaming and travel the world for the next 3-4 year just to get his otb rating up to GM level and then he would still have to pick up norms along the way. Look at Levy (Gotham chess) he’s actively trying right now and failing .
That Rh3 kinda reminds me of the new famous scotch line: 1. e4 e5 2. Nf3 Nc6 3. d4 exd4 4. Nxd4 Nf6 5. Nxc6 bxc6 6. e5 Qe7 7. Qe2 Nd5v8. h4!? and there are some aggressive Rh3-e3-b3 manuevers, what can be really annoying and a7 is weak. It's a good opening to crush masters, especially if they play f6 or d6 and you're good at positional style, as you have a slight advantage
I'd assume the only move with any chance of survival is for black to put the bishop on A6 and sac it to the white bishop. At least in that line you don't trap your rook, but it all seems pretty horrible.
Rosen is fucking GOATed!! Love your content bro. I found chess in my 40s. Been playing 9 months. I'm straight trash but like fresh not yet stinky trash and that's because of you Eric!!! lmao
Its not just any grandmaster - its Sam Shankland. Wow!

"Playing Sam Shankland" heartbeat immediately spikes above 120 and never goes back down lol

His hr was 153 with Nepo right after the start recently 😂. Eric is getting used playing with GMs
Your modesty is so refreshing in the age of clickbait titles. I clicked on this thinking it would be some random GM, not a former US champion.
According to RUclips video titles, WGMs are grandmasters too lol
Shankland is one of the best prepared GMs yet eric manages to trap him in the opening. GG Eric!
"Eric Rosen should have been a grandmaster" - Hikaru Nakamura
The results on the board agree with Hikaru!
he's a GM trapped in a body of an IM
He's got some time left... maybe a friendly wager with Levy is in order for a GM title race!
@@justincaseudidLevy will never make it
"Let's see how booked up Sam Shankland is"
This guy has no fear
Lmao Nigel Short, Benjamin Bok (who barely save the game with a draw) and now Sam Shankland, this line seems to be very poisonous for unprepared GMs
Did you mean “barely saved the game”?
@@gooddognigel9992 Are you really wondering that?
Fun fact: Sam Shackland would've had an amazing tournament, ending up in the top 5, but Eric Rosen's victory cratered his chances of success.
Not such a fun fact for Sam 😄
fun fact, how can you know he would have amazing tournoment or top 5 when he already lost one before eric? Lose one more of last 5 and your not even top 10
To be fair, by losing, he got to face weaker opponents the rest of the way
Rh3 is such a huuuuuge threat while being so hard to see, of course even GM's might fall for this in blitz!
Such a beautiful trap !
Just letting you know, you are the best chess teacher I have ever come across. I don’t know if you will ever read this, but I hope my well wishes reach you. Thank you!
Eric avoided being shanked
I’m so proud of your little chess traps! - Eric’s grandmother, probably
Eric’s grandmother is a GM?
the fact that its Shankland makes this even more hilarious since he hates openings like the Jobava London
Love Sam as an instructor and as a player. His Sicilian and English courses are top notch
Wonderful game, Eric! Congrats on the rating peak!
Why is Eric not a GM? He has such a great memory. Maybe he doesn't want to change his name.
Blitz vs OTB 1.5hrs. In my opinion, I think he's one of the best blitz players around.
Because it’s virtually impossible for older players to become GM

@@Creamygoodne55 We'll have to watch @annacramling carefully. Pretty sure if she can do it, Eric can. :)
GM just means top 1k players. Not everyone can get it.

Well, Sam was flyin' over 3000 high, so he was taken down with Rosen's SAM. ;)

Sam probably fell off his chair laughing at Rh3
nope idea was obvious, but how to prevent it wasnt
If a move looks impossible, what happens if you play it anyway
Sam Shankland Question
That must be an illegal move then...
is there a opening you dont know? feel like you know everythinng. Clap-.
Your videos put such a big smile on my face. Thank you
2874, wow that’s amazing. Well done!
Well done Eric.
And you did it without a beard.
Sam's name is too normal for a chess player. He's gotta add some letters in there to spice it up
Here for the trap!! 👏👏
Wow, third game with a GM that falls into this right?
This is beautiful
c×b2 seems so natural but it was blunder
Lifting rooks, and getting swole :-)
Eric trolls grandmasters..
holy smokes
Keep it up Eric
Does it help at all if they queen the pawn after the rook lift trap?
Love the watch
Oh no Sam Shankland! Also 2874, what is this rosen rating?
Congrats!!
2 ppl that it's hard for me to understand is not a GM. Eric and Tania Sachdev. They are soooo god.
Congratulations !
how are you not a gm
2874 less go!
Amazing
There’s a video of 2 kids in a tournament, kid 1 plays a4 and Ra3 then h4 Rh4 and kid 2 scholars mates him. I need to find this video
That's not really an interesting video
The only pairing where I wouldn't cheer for Eric is if he plays Vishy. Go Eric!
You can still cheer for the underdog :) It’s not a betrayal.
Us champion
Rosen is fucking GOATed!! Love your content bro. I found chess in my 40s. Been playing 9 months. I'm straight trash but like fresh not yet stinky trash and that's because of you Eric!!! lmao
