- In this video, I play a well-known "refutation" to the Stafford Gambit, but proceed to get tricked a few move laters by a new and tricky idea against RossTheBoss582 (1712). As mentioned and the end of this video, I will be attending the Vegas Chess Festival and National Open in June! Learn more and sign up here: www.vegaschess...

That comeback is all the reminder anyone needs that he is good at what he does.
I was thinking "with so much material down even he wouldnt be able to win this" and then he pulled this out
@@g0gl he is eric rosen😌😁
@@g0gl most of it with 3 seconds on the clock, I can't even move the mouse fast enough never mind the chess skill.
Hear hear.
Hey Eric! Ross here. The Bd7 line was something I've explored a while ago, after losing my queen with Qh3 on the way to connect 8. After our second Stafford game that never made it to youtube, I started digging deeper and I found a few more venomous ideas, as shown in this game. Qe2 was a blunder that you've played against Bd7 twice, which allows Ne5 and allows black to cramp white's position with Bh3. I'm glad you could get some youtube content out of this, and I'll see you at the simul in Vegas!
Gutted for you that you lost that. Stockfish was -13.0 by move 19.
Glad that I have you as a coach
You're like an evil scientist scheming in his lab
Man you threw that like a champion
@@Gush27 winning a blitz game even with odds against eric is something I doubt many non masters could do
6:10 "I'm down a ton of material, and also down a lot of time. But apart from that, maybe things are OK." Love Eric's understated style.
Lmao I was cracking up at that
Holy shit. Ngl, I laughed at "I'm down queen and 3 pawns...and down a lot of time but besides that I'm okay." But god damn you walked the talk. Absolutely savage.
I don't care what the score says, Ross the boss, you are the man 😂😂😂
I got my first stafford gambit win recently. I owe you one Eric! I'm gonna buy the goose mug for my tea.
9:45 Clear Sign that Eric goes insane Mode. No way of winning against him at this point.
Literally went holy shit, no way. Amazing.
It's insane, titled players always seem to have this ability. Like Levy, even though he deprecates his playing style and chokes a lot, or Eric who has incredible humility, if you make even one slip up in a game an IM will go Insane Mode 😂
@@bromanHenk1 that's what IM is short for
@@Luaporleafcutterant International Master
I wasn't paying as close attention in the middle, and then I hear "I think I'm playing for a win" and I had to rewind to see how he could have possibly turned that around
It´s so insane he won that
I was rooting for Ross the Boss because 1) the name and 2) Stafford gambit
Invent a Gambit :) and name it „There’s a funny line Gambit“😄
It's nice that a higher-rated player than me struggles with the same thing as myself: Converting a position when up on material value, but down on pieces in total. When the losing side protects everything, it feels like there's no progress to be made for the winning side.
Seeing higher rated players struggle with this makes me feel a little bit less lonely.
You also have to remember this is a blitz game. I'm 2200 on lichess, 1800 otb and I still have the same problem, especially with shorter time controls. Ive heard danya talk about this: Just because you're up material doesn't mean converting is elementary... at any level! When you face a strong player, especially someone stronger than you, they're not going to just roll over and die.
I’ve found that in such positions pawns are the key. Since everything is protected it’s really hard to win any more material, so you have to use pawns to soften up the pawn structure or to try to promote
@@ovietoboreoghre7501 Thanks for the advice. I'll try to apply this.
The problem is that Rossthebot switched off stockfish too early 😒
That was crazy! What gets me is that it's called a dubious opening, and yet, there are so many ways to go wrong.
" I think Qe2 is a reasonably safe option"
I've checked stockfish, and this move litteraly makes white go from +5.1 to -2.6, so troubles started from there XD
"I think I'm playing for a win now"
Stockfish says it's -5.5 for black still, despite the progress Eric made from -13.5 to -5.5.
Insane comeback, fortunately his opponent was "only" 1700 elo, I'm 1600 and would probably have lost too despite the insanely great position black had !
Wow, and what was the best move instead of Qe2?
@@VladimirPutin-wt5yh he covered that in the video
Oh yes my magical line.
Wait a minute...
Oh no!
Great entertainment, Eric.
He went from down 6 points to within the next 30 seconds wiping the whole board and check mating, awesome chess from both sides
Congrats to Ross the Boss for finding a trappy Bd7 O-O-O line. It makes sense to shield the d-file so Black can castle and keep up the attack. For White I still recommend 10.f3 and 11.fxg4 (or 11.Bf4)
Kasparov in his master class said that The most interesting combination against a queen was a rook and a bishop
That's because a queen is effectively a rook and a bishop in one piece, so the two together (sort of) act like a queen if you can coordinate them well.
What a comeback man! I was sure you lose or maybe draw, when you had 10 seconds I couldn't imagine any scenario where you don't lose. But you won! You are so fast!
That's strong opening play for a 1700. Nice prep!
Never wanted Eric to lose so bad, very well played in the endgame though
That win.... Having a completely winning position is not enough
you really are such a calm person but still such a beast at chess it's crazy to see that
Opponent was better prepared but Eric is better at playing chess.
*Blunder Blunder Blunder*
I don't like it
I avoid
But *Blunder* likes me
*I can't avoid* 😎👍
For how much Eric falls behind on time, it always amazes me how fast he can play under time pressure.
So, the student becomes the master....
"OH NO MY GAMBIT!"
You know you fed up when you're up six points of material and the IM starts premoving your checkmate.
Take Ross under your wing Eric, he deserves it. Ross definitely has a shot at a USCF/FIDE Title!
Umm, not likely...unless he's 10 years old. He's rated 1700 on lichess which is about 1400-1450 fide. You need a minimum rating of 2200 for even a CM title. All Ross did to find that line is look through previously played games in the lichess database that started out with a Stafford. It's a cool line, but he's no prodigy.
@@allanshpeley4284 Are all Titled Chess Masters child prodigies? I'm pretty sure they're not. And what I think OP means is for Eric to train Ross so he reachers 2200 ELO which is very much possible at any age in your early youths (20s and before) with hard work, studying your games, learning tactics, getting someone to coach you etc. Yeah, Magnus is a child prodigy but he's the world champion. Pretty sure normal GMs are players who worked really hard for their title(not saying Magnus didn't).
@@Sad_Chief most GMs were playing as childs and reaching FM at least before being adult. Sure, Ross could probably become NM if he trained hard (as can most ppl), but what's the point? He is just a 1700 on lichess who discovered a nice line, nothing more
I'm most enthralled by the Kasparov mimicry in the thumbnail. What a work of art :)
oh no my gambit
Just moved to vegas in the last month or so.. was considering the chess festival but after this vid i went ahead and commited. Really hope to see you there eric!
I think b5 was when black started throwing. Haven't checked with an engine, but I feel like g5 and Qf2 was the way to go.
Cheers to you Eric for that Duck of a win Quack.
Beating an IM with stafford is just insane
I'm so mad eric won that one
The way or recovering from a lost position is just insane
Get Ross back on with his more venomous ideas!
NEVER SURRENDER
(3:14) Can someone pls explain why he doesnt take the knight with his queen?
I think Bg4 attacking queen then Rd1 for black
If he takes the knight, Bg4 attacks the Queen and also opens up the rook, the only safe square for the queen is Qe3, but then Rd1 is mate. So he either loses the queen or loses the match, unfortunately he ended up having to lose the queen anyway
@@Falbow91 thankyou
so much new eric content
hey it's geocircle what up
not much
I'm just surprised that g5 took as long as it did. There were so many positions in that endgame where g5 deflects the bishop away from the g3 pawn or forces it to an undefended square that can be exploited with checks.
You are so funny. Epic with 1 second left. That's a Stafford you need to look into in more detail.
Can't believe the prodigal son later found his way home.
Once again Eric shows us that the clock is one the most important pieces
You know where this is going: he's gonna get tricked, get a losing position, but eventually the opponent will choke and he'll save it
(I have not watched the video yet.)
Greetings from Aleksey! I played against you in a tournament earlier today. Thank you for analyzing with me afterwards!
Ross The Boss choked so hard ://
Holy shit that was pure Entertainment
I feel like eric should write a stafford gambit book
Maybe Ross the Boss should write it?
omg that was so nerve racking, the last 10 seconds
What a crazy game, love it
This is a perfect exemple why experience is better than preparation!
Your prep can only go so far...
I was playing like 100 bullet games a day for 3 months and got totally burned out haven’t played in a month. This might be the video that gets me back to the board
Gotta have a life balance man!
How did your rating change though, any improvements?
@@MrDane59 350 to 900 the 900 is inflated I’m probably about 800
Bullet is not chess.
@@timothylovecock4332 What is it then?.
STAFFORD GAMBIT TIME
haha nice an opera mate trick in the Stafford. just when you think you've seen it all
Wow how the heck the game could be won from that point. Very nice game by 1700s too, respect to both
9:25 WTF 😮
At 5:57 black should have continued with Rd3 (restricting white's rook) and f6 g5 moving whites bishop away and winning the pawn on g3. Then just push the kingside pawns.
Black should just sit tight on the queenside with a6 if needed.
you should play the ross gambit
What a filthy recovery
Eric is so goated that was insane
4:03 Well played by black but moving the knight here was a mistake
Also g5 at 6:37 would destroy white's bishop
I think the point of Bd7 is to play Rd8 and play something similar to this: Nxf7 Kxf7 Bg4, d8 attacks d1, Qe2
that breathing near the end there xD Good freakin jobb eric! :D nice game.
strongest 1700 ever?....
Seriously? He played a few moves he memorized from the lichess database after a standard Stafford opening then proceeded to throw the game with a huge advantage. So nope, just a regular 1700.
@@allanshpeley4284 he played very well for like 20 moves though and had the advantage for that long, that's a lot of moves to memorize, no?
@@umershaikh7179 you're right, but he did memorize. He knows the lines Eric plays, so then prep gets much easier
that was so brutal to watch... and sad..
Respect to Ross the Boss
Got to say, I don't understand not taking knight F3. Is it because king would have to escape the same way anyway?
So, if you take the Knight on f3 with the Queen you lose your Queen to Bg4. Reason why, is that you lose the Queen if you move back to the D-file, and if you don't take the bishop it's mate in one with Rd1#.
Bravo maestro you are like Rambo in died situation you escape and beat probablly cheater. Bug respect from Serbia
When does Eric play his match against Tania in the I'm not a GM tourney?
Why didn't he take the knight man my brain is defloting here
I loved seeing this live lol
The best to respond to Stafford Gambit is by not accepting it and playing 4. d4 and I rarely lose playing that against the Stafford Gambit
Black should have kept both rooks
Forgive me for my ignorance here....but why not take the knight after 13. Nxf3+ ?? I realize the bishop and rook are coming, but even if your queen was about to be lost, you would have taken knight and bishop in the process.
Hey Eric! Its Rosen here! :)
Ross is The Boss
Hey Eric have you seen the guy on tiktok who puts up daily videos of him beating people with the stafford every day until you offer him a lesson?
Oh my stafford
6:42 i thought pawns can't eat what's beside them... Was i wrong?
I got some crazy idea tho for Ross
Time 8;12. If rosssac his queenby taking bishop then he can get pawn promotion in just 3 moves
Bro that doesn't work at all. Eric just brings his rook back
Ra7 and white wins
Does anyone know where I can donate to Eric Rosen that's not paypal specifically by chance?
Why not just castle instead of Bf3?
Its peanut butter jelly time?
0:47
Rather Bf3
Isn't f3 a good move?
Knight and Bishop both hanging
Both are good. Bf3 is super solid with no drama though.
In case of f3, the follow up moves for black are h4, (then regardless of whatever piece white captures) hxg3 and the insanity continues... (cr. Jonathan Schrantz)
Absolutely sick game. So fun
Yo Eric is a joke omg that was nuts lol what a fucking guy!
Wow That was insane !
As white a practical decision to get a playable winning position is to never take the bishop or knight, just gain space and get the king safe
What happened if he took the knight?
Bg4 attacking the queen, if queen moves Rd1#
I don't understand why he couldn't just take the knight with the queen
Just figured it out. When the queen takes, then the bishop attacks the queen, the queen has only two squares to move safely. After that, rook d1 is mate.
Does Eric drink cans of infinite optimism?? I want some of that!
oh no my queen !
I don’t understand what’s happening in the first 10 moves.
It's a well known trap called the Stafford Gambit
@@Nippleless_Cage yes. But I don’t see the traps and trouble he speaks of
Search yt for Stafford Gambit magical line
@@frequensea9434 Watch some of Eric's earlier videos explaining the Stafford gambit. That will help clear things up for you. Took me a while to understand it too.
How on earth did he win it!! Respect!!
1:50 but you saw it…
Botez Gambit counters Stafford Gambit?
Good game by Ross for sure
