"I love you too, microwaved soup"
I died
and he said that with a straight face
Rip
when did he say that?
😆
Fun toddler chess camp analogy: KISS OF DEATH
Just realized that lmao
Thanks Eric, can't wait to fall asleep to this one a few times before bed
This is me everytime he drops a video longer than an hour
I am fighting sleep watching this after a lunch!

"If I sacrificed a goat for a trillion dollars, I still sacrificed a goat" -IM Eric Rosen
I jumped back to 14:53 at least four times, that was so funny. The eagerness to calculate and set up something beautiful and the dry disappointment when opponent allowed mate in one, delicious.
"I play moves and thank people for subbing with prime"
A truer statement has never been said
Came for the chess, stayed for the -ying- yin yang duck.
*yin 👍
@@andrewptob 😳 Thanks
@@RickyMartinVideos No prob
Time stamp please?

"If you launch them with enough velocity, all reptiles can fly"
Eric: "Hang on, lets calculate, Kd7, Bf6, ..."
Opponent: Moves
Eric: "Never mind" - Bang!
Opponent: Ooof
"Alexa, is a dragon a bird?"
"No, that's not true."
*Weird silence*
Oh... okay, I'll believe you
LOL
timestamp?
17:00
Hi Eric, recently got back into chess and I'm learning a lot from your videos. I have to say I love how calm and down to earth you are mate, it makes your videos so easy to watch. You're clearly a very talented strategist who has spent the time developing your game and memorizing key plays and I often find myself saying "oh that was clever!" Anyway just felt compelled to thank you for your awesome content and say hi from Australia :) Keep on keeping on
"kiss of death checkmate" is a "fun analogy for kids"
Lol underrated comment
''Oh it's classical, i have time to think.''
2 seconds later:
''lets play this''
"Are Dragons birds?"
Silly Eric, dragons are dragons.
When he looks up "bird" on Google images "except this is a squirrel... I think."
17:08
Opponent: *resignes in 2 moves
Eric: Opening too strong
Eric: “Oh it flies. So it’s a real bird.”
Penguins: 👁👄👁
I fly 😄✌
"I don't enjoy.. shouting in general" whispered Eric
Me as opponent: sweating with every move
IM Eric: Is this a duck or one of those fluffy birds?
Eric: i dont like shouting
Me: you dont say, Mr Voice of Velvet.
33:00 i really love the "lower quality" casual-ness(?) of the streams
its nothing more than needed and it feels very genuine imo
Wasted clickbait opportunity to not title this "Winning with the Sicilian in 2 moves"
17:31 bruh
Eric you really are one of my favourite TH-camrs of this moment. Love your clear explanations and when you tell about non-chess related stuff and how humble you are. Keep up the good work! Thanks!
You're literally the reason I've started playing chess. Well..you and Beth Harmon. I wish you all the luck for your future😁❤️
Tip start with the simple stuff before learing theory
@@ricardocandelarialll6622 noted :)
"I didn't even get to show my dragon". Okey, Eric! :D
Can't wait to watch this video after work! I subscribed to your channel a couple of days ago and I managed to binge-watch most of your videos since. You probably get this all the time, but you have a really soothing voice.
Slazem se, veoma opustajuci glas ima :)
I love when you play calmer games with more time to be educational. I discovered you and your channel because of the lectures you used to give at the St. Louis chess club! Love your educacional videos! Cheers from Brazil!

“I don’t think that it was a crane” while looking at the construction equipment had me dead
finally classical chess is back on the channel
Fr blitz is too fast for me to learn from his play
20 minutes is way too much time to think
@@andrewpeterson8918 It's a little too long for e-sport chess but classical is the top choice for tournament play
@@andrewpeterson8918 it's to alleviate time stress and stuff which can cause ppl to play shit moves when otherwise the game could've stayed interesting. Imo
@@andrewpeterson8918 it's a decent amount of time to play good moves but also it isn't so much that you think for 55 minutes for one move and your opponent picks up their cigarettes and goes to the bar.
David Attenborough was sweating about his job, until you asked if dragon's where birds.
Oh, that Among Us clip made my day! Love you, Eric.
For those wondering as I was, a pond and a lake are structurally the same, but ponds are smaller and are shallow enough that light can reach the bottom throughout
Ok let’s calculate. King d7, bishop c6, king c....never mind
Lol
Ohh yes!
Gonna enjoy this so much
Hi Eric, I'm from Trinidad and Tobago, just want to say I really enjoy watching and learning from your games, keep it up 👍🏽✌🏽
41:13 ERIC PLAY AMONG US
In Pennsylvania you can turn left on red as long as you're on a one-way street, and you're turning left onto a one-way street, AND there isn't a "no turn on red" sign. It's rare because most of these intersections have a "no turn on red" sign, but they do exist. I think there might be some in Philadelphia.
That triple fork!! Wow!! The whole "knight inactive, go do something" was fantastic :) thx for the moves
nice to see some classical games
in Poland there is a dedicated light on the intersection in the shape of an arrow that allows you to turn right on red.
We have that in some places in murica
16.12 when you said let me see, it opened up my Siri 😂😂😂 love the content!
Perhaps you could play slower games more often? 5 min is fine, but I actually gave up on watching bullet, because it's too fast and I have to put so much effort into understanding what's going on, that there's little time to have fun. Also I enjoy beautiful checkmates a lot more than dirty-flagging, even though the latter is funny at times. ;)
I like the new set up eric
Silman's books are good. Eric's thinking-out-loud is actually a nice reinforcement of these principles.
The triple fork was amazing. Great tactics
I am so happy my youtube hole is chess videos with Eric, Agad, or John. Its a wholesome place.
Late comment but this video is really good. Thanks for providing us with such good content
i didnt knew i needed an imrosen playing among us, now i need it
2 hour video guess I know what I'll have open while grinding items
What game you playing?
@@rantaro1871 Terraria :)
*hahahaha* Eric on Among us! oooh God how a laught. Thanks for that @EricRosen I enjoy your content a lot even more so now :P
Love that your friends wanted to give you some pity-kills xD
I'm not even 2 minutes in and "I love you too, microwave soup" has already cracked me up. Thanks as always for the A+ content
Eric is so zen..... he's seriously stress relieving.
Opponent: thinking carefully after every move.
Eric: Contemplates duck picture
That en passant thing blew my mind. Ive been playing for a while and only now did i learn about this mechanic.
3:06
Well i still dont know about it
Eric Rosen: calculates 10 moves deep on a crowded board.
Eric Rosen: What's cool is you can type "bird" into Google, and it'll show you pictures of birds.
Eric is the greatest house designer, making a house even in chess
FIrstly China also has some absolutely fantastic green teas. 1)Scarlet Robe 2)Dragon Well 3)Gunpowder green 4)Iron goddess. For a Japanese tea you might like I would recommend Genmaicha. It’s a Japanese green tea with toasted rice and popcorn. It’s delicious. Hojicha is a smoked Japanese black tea. A Chinese equivalent might be Lapsang Souchong. Very different but both types are excellent. You should also check out some white teas (very similar to green tea but with a technical difference to do with the age at which the leaves are harvested, which leads to a subtle flavour) and Oolongs (Half way between a black tea and a green tea).
Quite apart from the tea content, I also appreciate the chess! Thanks for the videos. You have inspired me over the last few months to take the game back up again and gradually get stronger.
25:45 when you get distracted in math class for one second
Started playing chess as of January this year; glad to say I found Eric Rosen.
"no, that's not true" had me dead
“I’m calculating a line where I get mated”

Hello Eric, the "yin duck" at 11:42 seems to be Malard (Anas platyrhinchos) with some type of plumage discoloration possibly leucism (also called "dilute plumage") and the white bird at 1:44:13 and 1:48:45 is White Egret (Egreta garzeta)
A big fan of your commentary and your gaming style wish you could teach my daughter.
58:00 that is a cool calculation. Nice!
Early X-mas gift, tnx Eric!
that queen sac from 56:00 was insane
Oh man I made an IM think really hard! *Eric talking about ducks*
The "Darker Duck Gambit" should become a thing. (from the photos from the walk)
Kudos, you didn't fall asleep in that trompsky game.
tea recommendations? Chai is great, matcha, bergamot, all awesome options 😊
16:43 Opponent had prepared against Bird's Opening but not the Dragon. When Alexa corrected Eric that a dragon is not a bird, opponent realised his mistake and resigned
that duck pic is Pog
The pawn house was so nice
14:30 Eric: how does that even translate?
Me: *quacks like a duck*
Opponent: Oh my god, this guy is absolutely crushing me!! I feel like I can't breathe...I think I'm getting a panic at...DAMN, he took my rook!! Crap!!
Eric: Oh, check it, there's a duck in that other duck...ducks quack funny. *slurp*
"One of those puffin furry birds". Oh yeah. One of those. LOL. Outstanding.
In Europe red means stop. Easier to remember and fewer opportunities for crashes and tickets imho.
"okay, lets calculate, king D7, bishop d6, king... never mind..."
*queen e7 checkmate noises
Kiss of death is also the term used in Magnus trainer
@33:00 on your lighting, check out James Hoffmann's youtube channel. He has a similar industrial shelving set up in the background, and uses a led strip to backlight the unit. Looks good, at least with a reduced depth of field.
I really like to listen to your voice. But love the chess too. Im new but keep improving :)
Shout to the baby!!
lmao what is a puffin' furry bird? Eric is so funny sometimes.
Shout at the baby 🤣🤣
Aye, fell through a hole 😂😂😂
not shure but i think u must have trafic arrow light that shows you green and only then you can turn on red :) at least thats how it is in my country
I just realized that calculation is the strongest weapon in chess
I'm gonna suggest Halloween until we get a yearly tournament where you try to halloween against all nontitled :D
Hello, Eric I wanted to ask how many moves you visualize in mind before playing a move ?
if you ask him on twitch he is probably more likely to see it
in germany you can turn on red when theres a green arrow next to the traffic light - so only on specific spots
germany as always trying to complicate things
Just watching you describe the ying yang duck photo you took was so hecking wholesome, you're actually socute and just made my whole day :3
Think the white bird on the background is an heron
Did I dream this, but did Eric upload a video yesterday which was taken down/deleted!? (I didn't get to watch it...was saving it for bedtime)
I don't think so
I never knew the En Passant until now 3:05
The trompowsky is so hard....you get into positions where you have no clue how to proceed and 1 wrong move and it all falls apart.
How did you take that pawn on e6 on the first game i really want to know that pls
look up en passant
Alternate title:
GRAND MASTER absolutely DESTROYS opponent in TWO MOVES playing the SICILIAN!! (NOT CLICKBAIT)
Hey! That duck is duck shaped!
