No it was a miss mate. If Rd8 was played then h7 would be played. Opponent brought his knight down putting Eric in check and eric moved closer to the knight so if rook went to D8 eric would have take the knight.
Feel like it's easier to spot the 1500s because they are extremely materialistic and go round gobbling up every "undefended" pawn completely unaware of tactics.
Eric: Oh no! My opponents were rated 2300 and 1900. I feel so bad. Me: I would be feeling the complete opposite of bad if I could dissect players of that calibre.
game one and we’re already in my home turf. my dad is a religious 1.g4 devotee so I always play 1…f5, since the goal of black is to equalize, right? so if my opponent (read: dad) plays the worst move in his position, I should play the worst move in mine.
Mad props for not dedicating your time and effort to covering the ‘scandal’. While you may have missed out of some mad click-bait bucks, youve proven your integrity is not for sale and some of us noticed. Stay true dawg, stay true (picture me bouncing my left arm and clinched fist off my chest in a BAMF gesture). 😄
As a suggestion, the chapter names (or whatever they're called) shouldn't include the rating spoilers IMO. You'll see them unavoidably if you do anything like pause or change the volume.
04:22 - would black horsey to G2 check be fine there? Because after white responds to this with king E2 to defend queen, other black horsey goes to where the other horsey used to be to check white king in its new square ...
Great Video again Eric - you're basically my therapy at this point! Just letting you know that theres spoilers for the ELO in the timestamps/chapter titles. Still fun though
When a video of Eric comes you know it’s worth your time. Ya gotta thank This guy for his efforts in making us All calm. Love you Eric. Also u recognize rookymove by rookymistakes
Hey Eric, recently started watching some of your videos. Great stuff! The calm composure is brilliant, and then you throw in something like 47:10... been a while since I burst out in laughter from a YT video 😂
Not sure if there’s a better way of doing it but I felt like the chapters on the video spoiled some of the fun in terms of trying to guess their rating as well.
I'm just here for the heart
Eric has a lot of heart. Eye of the Duck.
Not for Chess. Not for Eric. Got it
Pin of ?
nothing just an avg cannibal
@@brbcrew9957 Pin of heart
Eric destroying opponents with gambits followed by feeling bad about underguessing is just so characteristic of this channel
No it isn't
@@sarcastaball Eric being wholesome and Eric being chaotic at chess are literally the two most Eric things about Eric. It’s very characteristic
Honestly it's hard to judge your opponent when you absolutely demolish them like he did in both those games.
Right
@@Thebiggestgordon And also Eric crushing.
Im so glad TH-cam exists so people like Eric, with skill and quirkiness can be appreaciated
The last 20 seconds of that Halloween Gambit were absolutely ruthless
2 games in, I'm loving the accidental roasts with the 1600 and 1555 ELO guesses 😂
Lichess ratings are overrated
Then the same guy passed him at the last minute, motivational roast
"My opponent's rating affects my playing style" - i think in Zen mode Eric can give many grandmasters a run for their money . 🙂
Yes I think he’s over cautious when playing GMs especially OTB.
I gonna sleep. Thanks for playing dumb gambits to make me feel comfortable.
you're welcome :)
Did the opponent miss a mate in 1 at 41:00 with rd8
yes
Oh wow lol nice catch. Goes to show you that even the best players can easily make mistakes especially when time pressure hits
No it was a miss mate. If Rd8 was played then h7 would be played. Opponent brought his knight down putting Eric in check and eric moved closer to the knight so if rook went to D8 eric would have take the knight.
@@lmntrix9113 No it was a mate in one, watch again.
Eric: "There's a funny line"
Opponent: "Oh no my game"
Lol
Zen mode is when the chess just speaks for itself.
This joke is getting way overused, but it fits well here. Nicely done, lol.
42:38 you know it's coming
:)

Great Video, always love an Eric Rosen TH-cam video to make my day ❤
Eric and opponent missed mate in 1 at 41:01!
Feel like it's easier to spot the 1500s because they are extremely materialistic and go round gobbling up every "undefended" pawn completely unaware of tactics.
Not like I'm any better mind you

what a great run in zen Ty Eric so exciting and fun to be a part of. 🖤
I enjoy the 5:00 minute (or longer) games. More opportunity for Eric to share his thought process.
yes me too! personally the 10 minute ones are my fav :)
True. Maybe I’m just slow brained but I struggle to follow along with 3 minute blitz games let alone bullet
Lol just finished watching the setup chess video and then this dropped.
"Oh no my rook. Oh no your queen." at 1.5x speed was great
34:38
Eric, you are my favorite chess streamer. Keep up the great work! You are a legend in the online chess community!
Knowing your opponent's rating makes you play more cautious! It truly is zen mode.
Dirty stalemate clutch 😂
Rosen on gte: "oh I guessed too low I'm so sorry 🥺😭"
Gotham on gte: "you're a 2200??? Hahaha you're so bad LMAO git gud 🤣🤣😂"

Looks like he changed it

I waa heading to sleep but now I need shift my schedule by an hour .
‘Where’s my Mate?’ Eric Rosen’s chess-based dating app coming to the Play
Store in 2023.
I want a t-shirt OH NO YOUR QUEEN
Eric should do a Gambits course on Chessable. I would be all for it!!!!
Feeling sorry for the stalemated guy's keyboard
"Rooks do not like being fianchettoed"... I think there's some new merch in this somewhere.
Great Video again Eric - you're basically my therapy at this point! Just letting you know that theres spoilers for the ELO in the timestamps/chapter titles. Still fun though
The style of this video was so amazing I just had to watch the whole thing all the way through
Another seemingly baiting title that just delivers.
Great content, thanks Eric!
People tend to play below their rating against a titled player I think.
Daryl Carson been real quiet since this dropped.
Every opponent is 1500 against Eric
40:59 opponent missed mate in one

Not sure if you read this, but you have been my favorite chess TH-camr for years!
Enjoyed the stream on Twitch. Good luck with 600K.
You are my hero.
41:00 he missed mate in 1. - Rd8
this stream was cool
Eric is the epitome of Zen mode - always chill, never brash.
Shout out to all 600,000 subscribers! Welcome to all future subscribers!
This is my ideal video format Eric. Thanks so much!
GothamChess copy
"I'm 2300 and awesome at this game. I wonder what Eric thinks my rating is"
... " maybe 1600 "
Damn.
That first game was nuts
Thanks for your uploads eric, you make my days better ❤
@44:42 Why not Rxg7? Isn't that the whole point of putting the rook on the g file? Afraid of Bh4+ in response? I'm confused
Love the Mr. Gambit Joke lol. Is it popularized by Ben Finegold lorewise?
That Queen's pawn grob early rook g3 maneuver was so hilarious and cool
There's an early a4 line in the Alekhine like that iirc
I love you and your content! It makes my day!
They didnt take the rook because after you wouldve taken back the bishop with the queen their own rook would be under danger
Any time Eric plays is Zen mode for me
Anyone know what the point of that time slash is? Why is he intentionally slashing his time? Any benefit, or just to make it harder?
5:17
Question: Doesn't Ng2, Kd2, Nhe4 work?
Am I dumb or was Rd1 mate at 41:01 ?
Same, pretty sure it's mate
great zen mode games today lol
the halloween gambit game was real hard to follow very complicated game
Love you Eric!
rosen plays chess with heart
As Mr. Gambit, I can confirm the Alessin gambit was named after me
41:00 after Nd6, h4 doesn't white have Rd8#???
Why was black able to castle at 15:20? Wasn't it cut off by the white bishop?
Pretty sure the elo guesses were correct, lichess ratings feel very inflated
I agreed with every guess 💀
Gambits are fun to watch until Eric plays.
Min 43 made me jump from the seat! Unexpected!
Actully they were underestimating you.
Minute 30:00 halloween gambit, amazing end!
Pulled out that searching for Bobby Fischer line!!!! TRICK OR TREAT!!!!! LOVE IT.
"Rooks do not like to be fianchettoed..."
💔
lol the segmented video ruins the suprise
How was rxg7 overlooked at 44:40?
Named after Mr. or Mrs. Gambit 😂
If you would have traded the queen in 5:30 you could have played d3 with the knight and win the bishop or the rook with a fork
you can split up your audio in ons and use twitch vod tracks in the obs settings so you can listen to music but it wont be saved in the vod
it always surprises me when big streamers don't know how easily you can stream music to twitch without having music in the vod or local recordings
Great Video, commenting while you're still streaming :)
Eric you should play FPS chess, would be a banger video
Not sure if there’s a better way of doing it but I felt like the chapters on the video spoiled some of the fun in terms of trying to guess their rating as well.
This man just can't lose. While normal people resign when there's no hope, my man here stalemates with a scary high success rate
15:18 - I am newer to Chess, but how is the opponent allowed to castle when Eric has his bishop on g3?? Would that not restrict the ability to castle?
the rook can move through an attack . its the king that cant
Oh no my Weekend!
That halloween gambit come back was SICKKKK
You'll get 600k for sure, love the vids, keep it up!
32:30 was the black’s knight trapped? eric missed it
2300, i was thinking a 600
48:11 Oppenent missed mate in 1
Was the first one a polish
That Halloween Gambit game was absolutely beautiful
42:54 Nasty. I like it!
eric rosen is sollid player!
