One of the comments sent in during the livestream asked about struggling with chess notation. I am one of those who had to learn chess notation twice. I began learning chess in the 1960s, when "descriptive notation" was the norm. Thus, instead of 1.e4 e5, games would begin 1.P-K4 P-K4, with each move being notated from that player's side of the board, with the back rank being numbered as 1 for each. It was common until I was around 20 years old, when algebraic notation came into being. Both systems work just fine, with algebraic being a bit terser, and arguably, it is better for the square e4 to mean the same square for both players. Another advantage of algebraic is that there was a descriptive notation for English-speaking countries, one for Spanish-speaking countries, one for French-speaking countries, and I presume others. Algebraic created a more globally-consistent way of notating games.
Nice games. And it's great to have the time stamps, that show the openings. Thanks, Eric. And best wishes from NM Mike Pastore, and your fans at the Ithaca Chess Club.
1:53:54 Eric noticing the ratings refund, he then later notices how the loss got removed from the tournament results and doesn't mention it again until 2:23:01
No matter how bad things get, Rosen never seems to lose a chess game. It's almost as if Zeus and Poseidon are hurling thunderbolts from Mount Olympus at the chessboard to make sure of it. I liked the "two pigs on the seventh" as Soltis would say.
Having the rating refunded is good but playing a cheater might also have cost him time (he might have beaten the player in less time) and might have been able to play more games, score more points, and perhaps place in the tournament. Of course the cheater may have played other games before getting caught. I guess red flags are the pace of play (never a quick move) and then accepting a draw in a winning position but with little time (not enough to check moves in a time-pressured endgame). I don't get the point of cheating...
You're the best Eric! So nice watching your videos and following your commentary and fun and happy personality. Always a treat. Thanks for being awesome. Sending you good vibes and best wishes for you on all your life endeavors!
very good arena eric. even if you are fundamentally the strongest player in the event still very hard to get a top finish. towards the end you mention ICC and reporting, currently you need to email them, if you go to homepage and pick "fair play" from bottom of page, their is an email address to use. last weekend I used that to report a technical server issue, and as I had game recorded thought best to report it so used that address, got a reply monday morning, very quick. they said in the reply "We're also working on a more formal reporting feature on the platform and hope to have that implemented soon"
Time management is my worst enemy. Was doing well in the 30 min category, approaching the 1200s, but the games felt too long. Switched to 10 min and bottomed at ~700, most losses being time outs.. Now around 900, still timing out more often than I'd like.
@@MatsMatsuo So the engine actually really likes it, but not for the reason I was originally thinking. It says Nxf7 kxf7, Rxd7 Nxd7, Qxd7 is +6 with Ng5 coming almost regardless
Damn that really was so obvious too!! I just definitely got cheated on by 1350 player in an arena too... It's so annoying, and they think we can't tell.
There needs to be way more verification the higher ranked online players are (too many multiple accounts being used also), but it seems like cheating is almost welcomed in Chess now, even at the higher levels.
They shadow banned me because I would abort pre game too much. You can tell it's a cheater when the account is 1 hr old. And can't email them to complain
What does this comment mean? I do not comprehend the meaning of this comment. Perhaps it is above my intellectual level, or maybe it is that I’ve not watched the video Eric Rosen has posted.
@@legowatto609 What they are saying is that even if you are brand new with a low elo, you can get paired with a cheater who is using the engine to play at a GM level. They aren't wrong, just not clear. :)
Gonna watch until the first interrruption ad comes up, then that's it. Predicting 4 mins max. Hella oppressive. You know Chess-Network? His vids are the best because he never allows the interruption. The content there is too valuable to allow it
It was 7 mins, not 4. Still unwatchable at that rate. Cya next time with the 5-layer adblock. You used to be cool. Imagine giving a lecture back at the St. Louis chess club, only every few mins allowing some interruption. Teaching quality plummets. As Simon Williams would say, f a duck.

every time i watch chess i'm immediately like "chess is sick i'm gonna play some chess" and then i realize i'm a noob that loses 90% of scotch games
I appreciate you Eric. Your videos are a breath of fresh air
My favorite chess streamer. Keep on travellin' up that road to GM Eric, it's a one way street at this point.
just finished the last recap and was about to rewatch while i ate my burrito, but i was pleasantly surprised by this
mm... burrito

"if I lost on time I would have lost" truer words have never been as true.

12 great games. i had 2:12 mins in when i clicked the link from twitch~! thanks eric~! 2 knights in a row~!
44:26 "I assume this happens 365 times a year" - Points to title (Daily Rapid Arena)😄
I would have liked this thrice if I could. Cheers for the chess Eric.
Already watched and commented.
@1:02:00 I was thinking of Rc6... perhaps a GingerGM move?

May I suggest either 20 minutes or 15/10 minutes rapid games as a middle ground
ERIC ROSEN IS MY FAVOURITE CHESS PLAYER I LOVE YOU MR ROSEN IM YOUR BIGGEST FAN
at 1:00:09 did you have Nxf7 to win a pawn?
what's the idea if king takes? i don't see it.

What is your video opening background? Looks like a large chess painting?
Goat
1:46:20 Bxh3 missed, twice
Oh no, I might be losing points, no wonder I can't get out of 600.
@25:32 why not R - h2 ??
just king takes ?

earliest ive ever seen a post. Less than 150 views, 6 min
What's up with all the cheaters on lichess right now. Its getting ridiculous
They banned me for 9 min because I kept aborting matches I felt were cheaters and they times me out for taking to long to make a move SMH
How tf are you gonna know who are cheaters before even playing😂@@bozbozman1575 Do you really go through someones account first? Thats so paranoid
En passant is forced
First
Eric Rosen is an International Master from the United States of America.
Eric missed so many tactics this run I’m sad
Second
Main reason I stopped playing on Lichess
They shadow banned me because I would abort pre game too much. You can tell it's a cheater when the account is 1 hr old. And can't email them to complain
Because they are on top of banning the cheaters?
It's full of cheaters out there, you can play GM level players right away when you subscribe

@@legowatto609 Eric played a cheater in the first game, and it's emphasized on the thumbnail, maybe that's why he's saying that
yeah that first game is sussy baka
People cheat.
Alot
