Opponent: "I'm playing an IM, i really wonder what moves he's thinking about right now!" Eric: "It's like a combination of a raccoon and a possum, kind of, or a beaver and a platipus.... It's kinda beaver like...."
*Opponent -* He might be thinking of some dangerous Lines... i should be careful. *Eric ~* * looking at pics of Badger * "it's like a combination of a racoon and opossum."
4:47 Eric: "OH no my Queen!" Alexa: "Your ASS on the darkest day..." Eric: "*Most priceless reaction*" That was the best moment. I am surprised nobody else seem too be talking about this. The reaction I mean.
@@Imjustgoatedsir ah, my bad. And that makes more sense. You wouldn't say that to someone even if you are a ass man. But judging from Eric's reaction, I assumed it said ass.
Such an array of random things happened so rapidly, like a series of multicoloured fireworks. Effectively sums up what happens during a Twitch stream into 8 mins.
Also important, it's specifically a windmill fork. If there wasn't the smothered mating pattern on d1, there was still the immediate f2 mate idea, so the king had to accept the discovery from the queen then accept being checked again should the knight want to go back to f2.
That was so funny not only did he watch bagers for a while online the Queen sacrifice was Outstanding for the mate! You are the man in the chessworld Eric!
6:38 The Mokele Mbembe is a line of Alekhine's Defence, typically considered dubious. It follows 1. e4 Nf6 2. e5 Ne4 - with much harassment possibility.
The Mokele-Mbembe is a cryptid from Africa. There is supposedly a secret river basin in the Congo where dinosaur-like animals exist. The Mokele-Mbembe is one such creature.
1:11 the opponent just blocked his bishop which was supporting the knight... So Eric could have taken that knight with queen without any loss... LoL 😂😂😂
When Eric played Nxd5, wasn't it a blunder? Or at least inaccuracy? Because the bishop on e3 is hanging. If white plays Bxe3 queen cannot really take that because if queen takes, then black loses a knight.
At 3:44 why can't white take dark square bishop, then black queen has to take, leaving the defence of the knight which white queen can take with a check!?
Im possibly being really stupid but why doesn’t Eric take the knight with he’s queen on move 4 as opponent blocked his bishop in that was protecting it ????
Curious to your thoughts on a trap line I was looking at from England declined, from Ne5. Logically, I see d5 happening play e3, f6, qh5, and then whatever black does next you have ng6. I think a clever opponent can trap White's written in something like 12 moves, but maybe you can see something i can't
you should google mokele mbembe. its a dinosaur that's theorized to still live in the jungles of Africa. its like a small version of a brontosaurus, and its vicious like a honey badger
At around 1:20 I paused the video trying to understand why he didn't take the knight. I thought long about it and eventually gave up understanding that it's probably way over my head as I'm trash at chess. Rosen 20 sec later "wait was the knight free?"
By the way. Mokele Mbembe is the name of a dinosaur, said to be living in the unexplored jungles of Congo. It it said to have a long neck, much like a Bracchiosaurus. Many locals tribesfolk have reportedly seen it, but it has yet to be captured on camera, so it remains a legend.
Opponent: "I'm playing an IM, i really wonder what moves he's thinking about right now!"
Eric: "It's like a combination of a raccoon and a possum, kind of, or a beaver and a platipus.... It's kinda beaver like...."
Badger tactic is unbeatable
It’s the badger gambit
I like to imagine Erics opponent checked out his stream to see what plan he was coming up with and just sees him looking at pictures of badgers
i was listening at the time lol
Hahahaha

Dude. Love this
What a badass
I think this video perfectly encapsulates Eric's channel. Gambits, trailing off to badger trivia, Alexa, crazy tactics, OH NO MY QUEEN, it has it all
Metamicrocosmistic, really.
@@KF1 That's not a real word
It lacks a pawn cube.
IS NOBODY GONNA TALK ABOUT HOW PERFECT OF A MEME IT IS THAT ALEXA RANDOMLY STARTED PLAYING DESPACITO?
"oh no my queen. this is so sad. alexa, play despacito"
Loool thats gold
He needs to get some alerts or emotes of his face from that moment 😂
hahahaha so amazing
I'd like to think Alexa was trying to warn him about losing the queen. "Slow down, Eric. Despacito."
*Opponent -* He might be thinking of some dangerous Lines... i should be careful.
*Eric ~* * looking at pics of Badger * "it's like a combination of a racoon and opossum."

But whens the among us stream?
@@Otzkar He tried it. That was refreshing but troubling to see Eric struggle with something. :P
@@Beaurisque nice can you link me the vod? I hope ha makes it into a video..
Funny how at the ending Eric didn't catch the humor of that guy
Or maybe?

yooo fellow hornets fan?

@@noceur4441 its because your main hobby cant be supporting charlotte 💀
@@jovanvranes8038 i feel you 😔. honestly tho now that rich cho is gone i have some hope
Imagine how bad does the opponent have to feel if you start looking up images of badgers mid-game and totally ignore their moves
“Oh no my queen!” While despacito plays. You’re the real queen- the meme queen.
Ah yes, the good old “I’m so distracted by what a badger is that I completely didn’t realize the knight was free” gambit
"I don't know how I'll edit it" - Doesn't edit it.
Eric Rosen: I peaked
Me, seeing the free knight on 1:10 : *confused screaming*
Me, seeing the missed mate in one at 4:45, which makes the entire queen sacrifice unnecessary: *dies from confusion*
@@maxkho00 Its all about queen sacrifices
@@maxkho00 "Oh no, my queen" is far more valuable than any mate could ever be, especially one against a player who's half your rank
Glad it's not just me who was confused by the free knight declined opening
@@georgiykireev9678 I stand defeated. Fair play to you, sir.
1:12 Eric pretending he didn't see the free knight
Its intentional. Part of the master plan
@@primalknight IM Intentional Master
Ferrari masterplan
I think he played that move kind of automatically, without paying attention to the opponent's move.
peekaboo...didnt see the knight
Eric be playing chess whilst discovering new kind of species.
7:20 Hello, Eric.
Opponent: focusing on chess game
Eric: whats a honey badger?
Alexa: despacito
4:47
Eric: "OH no my Queen!"
Alexa: "Your ASS on the darkest day..."
Eric: "*Most priceless reaction*"
That was the best moment. I am surprised nobody else seem too be talking about this. The reaction I mean.
Eyes* not ASSS😭
I thought I heard ass too 😂, but after looking it up he's says sunrise. We're just hearing the clipped end of rise
@@Imjustgoatedsir ah, my bad. And that makes more sense. You wouldn't say that to someone even if you are a ass man. But judging from Eric's reaction, I assumed it said ass.
I just found out that in my country (Finland) there is a chess player named Erik Rosendahl.
Is he in Finland!
That is an amazing fact
@@simonwesterlund2151 are you blind
Perkele
Eric is gonna love this name. The name ends with "dah!" no less
OH NO LUL
Hearing him talk about this bs while i was stressfully finding each move to do
2:55
I like how your "what is this" after seeing a badger for the first time is the same as your "what is this" for a new bizarre gambit line 😂
Such an array of random things happened so rapidly, like a series of multicoloured fireworks. Effectively sums up what happens during a Twitch stream into 8 mins.
Eric on a date.
Girl: What's your favourite card game?
Eric: Uno, my Queen.
This should be nearer the top of the comment section. Brilliant
Question 1: Can you get trough an Eric video without laughing? No, but at least there is B E A V E R
We could make a religion out of this
Alexa quiet. Alexa, STOP IT!
I'd really love to see a video for "Don't Mess with the Badger, Reversed zippity doo dah opening" soon
If you stream UNO and then somebody called your UNO first, will you say "Oh no, my UNO"
Nice job finding that smothered mate in the middle of the board.
Yeah, that was beautiful.
Hey Eric, im a new fan and I really like your streams! Keep it up
That was not technically a smothered mate.
"Wow opponent's taking a long time. They must be thinking really hard."
That's one of the sweetest mate's ever.
Also important, it's specifically a windmill fork. If there wasn't the smothered mating pattern on d1, there was still the immediate f2 mate idea, so the king had to accept the discovery from the queen then accept being checked again should the knight want to go back to f2.
Your videos are always the best man
1:27 it's a badger badger badger badger badger badger badger badger
MUSHROOM MUSHROOM
"Badger is a combination of platypus, beaver, Englund, queen's gambit" Eric Rosen 2020
Is nobody gonna mention the fact that the entire queen sacrifice was unnecessary because there was Nb2+ at 4:45 is checkmate?
damn man, you made my Alexa start talking at 2am while my wife was sleeping lol
Me: Let me focus on my game and NOT get distracted.
Eric Rosen: Let's see what BADGERS are!!! How interesting!
This video is just a compilation od reasons why we all love Eric
"Oh no my Queen" .... this is THE running gag here !! Great entertaining video - and good education too!
Dude you always trigger my Alexa whenever you say it! Result is a pandemonium that I have to deal with! lmao
Opponent at middle game: I wonder what Eric must be planning.. Hm
Eric: 3:13
That was so funny not only did he watch bagers for a while online the Queen sacrifice was Outstanding for the mate! You are the man in the chessworld Eric!
One of the most random games ever.
At least I saw a lot of animals.
Why didn't queen take knight at 1:10???
6:38 The Mokele Mbembe is a line of Alekhine's Defence, typically considered dubious. It follows 1. e4 Nf6 2. e5 Ne4 - with much harassment possibility.
"Alexa, go on"
Alexa : starts playing "go on"
My man just left a free knight at starting
1:10
Please explain why you can't take the free knight?(g5) with the queen?
I'm guessing tactics, but I REALLY need to know.
You can just take it, he missed it I believe xD
The Mokele-Mbembe is a cryptid from Africa. There is supposedly a secret river basin in the Congo where dinosaur-like animals exist. The Mokele-Mbembe is one such creature.
"What is a badger?"
that was the coolest mate ive ever seen
Enlightening and entertaining. That cracked me up.
never have i ever seen someone so fascinated about a badger
1:11 the opponent just blocked his bishop which was supporting the knight... So Eric could have taken that knight with queen without any loss... LoL 😂😂😂
"I don't know if it was the most instructive of a video" What are you talking about? I learned so much about badgers
When the opening name has more words than the number of moves
mokole mbembe is a dubious line for black in the alekhine, so that is just the reverse for white
When Eric played Nxd5, wasn't it a blunder? Or at least inaccuracy? Because the bishop on e3 is hanging. If white plays Bxe3 queen cannot really take that because if queen takes, then black loses a knight.
I think you got coordinates reversed, also knight on e4 protects the bishop on d6
At 6:50 when white moved Kings pawn to e4 why didn’t you take the knight on g5 ? His dark square bishop wasn’t protecting it
Was there like a trap?
Eric you are very comical, and of course a brilliant chess master, love from Sydney.
you know when he says oh no my queen you should think twice before taking it
No way
Hahahahaha the Justin Biener part got me so good
4:24 onwards - the pure joy!
At 3:44 why can't white take dark square bishop, then black queen has to take, leaving the defence of the knight which white queen can take with a check!?
Cause he can take back with the knight
I'm kinda glad that he got to know one of my fav animals
Damn this video was a lot of fun
Was that not a free knight @1:10 or am I missing something?
And comedy has peaked with you, Eric
Eric streaming Uno: "Uh-no, my queen!"
Came for the chess stayed for the beaver
1:18 whats wrong with queen takes knight?
Im possibly being really stupid but why doesn’t Eric take the knight with he’s queen on move 4 as opponent blocked his bishop in that was protecting it ????
1:13 made me wanna sign myself into an insane asylum
I imagine the oponent like: Oh, he is taking time, I must have made some good move cause he is thinking...
Nope, he is looking for badgers.
How can a beaver be like a platypus, nothing is like a platypus!
badgers are ferocious Eric, honeybadgers even fight lions
Curious to your thoughts on a trap line I was looking at from England declined, from Ne5. Logically, I see d5 happening play e3, f6, qh5, and then whatever black does next you have ng6. I think a clever opponent can trap White's written in something like 12 moves, but maybe you can see something i can't
*White's Queen*. Also, recommending position from white
I’ve piqued learning from your videos. I’m peaking now.
Eric "What is a Badger?" Rosen
6:30 Mokele Mbembe is an African cryptid, an alleged surviving sauropod dinosaur xD
Eric Rosen 2020 talking about badgers - 'Its like a combination of a racoon and a possum'
The honey badger donation was referring to the guy who does the Lycan Shepard puppy videos on youtube. Love that channel.
you should google mokele mbembe. its a dinosaur that's theorized to still live in the jungles of Africa. its like a small version of a brontosaurus, and its vicious like a honey badger
What a coincidence!!! Badger, and the opening name similar
Wait, at 1:11 couldn't you have taken the knight?
You didnt take knight??
im new to chess so i saw e3 by opp and the knight g5 is hanging right? why eric not take it?
i wonder
I will never look at badger's the same way.
At around 1:20 I paused the video trying to understand why he didn't take the knight. I thought long about it and eventually gave up understanding that it's probably way over my head as I'm trash at chess.
Rosen 20 sec later "wait was the knight free?"
2:00 am i see this correctly? you can do that in chess?
Oh yeah my favorite opening the Englad gambit declined reverse alekhine reverse crab reverse molecule membrane variation !!
We have badgers in the UK, but because they're nocturnal I rarely see them. The only time I see them unfortunately is as roadkill.
5:45 Zippity DUDA 😂
Isn't Mokele Mbembe the name of the legendary dinosaur-like creature that's alleged to live in the Congo (somewhere)?
“You have been subscribed to Badger Facts, your source for daily badger information. Text STOP to cancel.”
Eric not taking a free knight at 1:12 hurts my soul
Don't underestimate the badger. Pound for pound it is the Chuck Norris of the animal kingdom.
How has this man not heard of a badger before 😂😂😂
Badgers look like beavers and platypuses? This is your brain on chess

Also it is pronounced Mohkeylee Embembae.
