Absolutely, that's what made me check.... And the last time he played was in this tournament, so he got banned during or right after this tournament....The way he slaughtered Eric Rosen in that game was insane.... Just don't see that often with players rated below him, especially non titled players.... Not saying it can't happen, but not often....
His account was fairly new also, being created towards the end of September....Mostly likely because he was banned with a previous account... I wonder if it crossed Eric mind as well... It probably did, but he gave him the benefit of doubt
I have been watching Eric for many years and this first game was one of the most interesting that I have ever seen Eric play. The fact that he lost is terrible but that actually increases the value of the insights provided.
The B knight is taught B for Bad in the mind of beginners so that the Good G knight is remembered to be the main first moved knight. G for Good B for Ba-aaaad.
I enjoy these rapid games so much more than blitz. They are way more instructive. Eric, if you are reading these comments, thank you and please continue to post them.
i just wanted to coment that was the first time ive seen you lose. im sure it happens more than i know but i was so surprised when it happened i had to comment.
“Welcome back to booty snatcher” 😂😂
Crazy, Eric's first opponent has now been banned for cheating
I thought something was fishy. The speed plus the play style made me think possible engine use

I was wondering as soon as Eric mentioned his opponent’s speed of play. The only times Eric gets destroyed is by a super GM or a cheater.

I was about to check too, it was really suspicious tbh
love the smile at the end even though you lost the game. love the content.
Yay! 2-1/2 hrs. of IMRosen rapid chess! Thanks Mr. Stafford Gambit. 👍🏻
The Stafford should be called the Rosen from now on.

I especially enjoyed the two Scandi games against the same opponent.
Awesome video Eric!
After becoming your fan, I don't remember when was the last time I played Nc6 instead of Nf6 on move 2 as black

People saying the first opponent was cheating, which is a shame because the opening was a setup that i like to play with white
Dont play too good unless you want Kramnik putting you on blast 😂
That first player was moving way too fast with some complex moves.. fishy
Indeed he got banned 😂
A whole lot of eric rosie
1st player definitely cheating
I think berzerking kill brain cell, especially playing blitz
Can't kill brain cells if you don't have any to start
Pud. Do you still say "don't hurt me" that you learned from the early Eric?
