@@KobiGamez I'll answer this question once and you should never as it ever again. I'm on mobile the top or pinned comment is shown when you click on a video.
Good game, I think it was those weaknesses on the dark squares that were crucial. All kinds of hooks and corner mates open up. And against Nepo that is no bueno.
Nope, it's required. Matter of fact, should have been disqualified. They were setting up a draw arrangement before a decision was handed down. They never had to go through, but the intent was still there, particularly on Magus' part.
No proof for this (other than seeing heartbeats during, for example, the recent freestyle tournament), but one of the reasons I think Magnus is so good is because he's calm and collected no matter how tough the situation is. Eric, have you actively tried to make sure your heartbeat is low no matter the game, opponent, or situation?
Did you get permission from Nepo to use an AI generated image of his contorted face in your thumbnail? This is the worst kind of usage of generative AI. FOR SHAME. Unsubscribed.
I think it's ethically questionable too, to use genAI at all but especially to recreate someone's likeness ... However, Eric is factually one of the most wholesome people in any kind of media, let alone the notoriously toxic chess scene. I think it's super fair and important to criticize, but making a scene about unsubbing is 1. a little over the top, I'd argue, and 2. counterproductive, since people will react to that more than to the critical message
The image is a slightly up-scaled version of his chesscom profile picture. I used some camera raw filters to try and match the color/lighting of our faces, but it is not generative AI.
@@eric-rosen Ohhhh interesting! The smoothness totally gives it that AI look. Makes sense that you wouldn't cross the line into using genAI that way though. Really glad you shared this clarification, thanks dude
This man's heart is beating out of his chest and he still sounds like a Zen monk
I can’t believe you fought against half of a world champion.
Oh snap 😂
pfft
they play best together?
The subtle "a" in the title was not lost on me.
Oh no! My sleep schedule!😴
Ian and I have won exactly the same number of world blitz championship finals!
In order to be blitz world champion, you have to *win* a blitz world championship, which he has not done!
Such a funny line, after Qg4 it looks like a caro gone wrong for black
Everybody learning where the asterisk key is today.
Ah damn, I thought Eric finally faced Nepo in mortal combat.
At 5:50, I was "ain't no way Eric will win this."
Your chillness after losing such an intense game is admirable. Chess losses can bring me into a rage like no other game
Spoiler alert next time.
Loosing against Nepo is a given. There is at maximum he is Number 16 Worldwide.
@@JonasReichert1992 you are talking like you haven't seen him win against Hikaru Danya and other top players if I'm not and draw in loosing positions.
@@B3tabyt3 Why read the comments to a video before you've seen it without expecting spoilers? It's like reading film reviews before you've seen it

Dude that thumbnail pic of Nepo looks like a wild AI generation...😂😂😂
When I clicked on this, I thought I was going to see Eric win...
You definitely played some moves you’d never play if you didn’t know it was Nepo.
the rook, which you could trade, killed you
Maybe he won’t see it….
Good game, I think it was those weaknesses on the dark squares that were crucial. All kinds of hooks and corner mates open up. And against Nepo that is no bueno.
Dat heart rate, doh
you fought and finished second. its better than third
I wanted rook c2 as well also felt wrong
10:19 rook defends g6
In the French, if you can't challenge White's central pawn duo, usually with f6, then you are likely worse.
I bet he had no idea until he read this.
Luckily, it wasn't a french defense
@ e6 Sicilian can transpose into the French, especially Alapin. In this game Eric gets French structure. So same principles apply.
Hey Eric, you posting the game vs Shankland?
A few moments later... Hr 150 😂 and the game only started
got nepoed
Amazing new blitz peak rating! 1 off from levy's
isnt he a co-champion?
When was this played? Wanna watch the game from Nepo’s perspective
"Uncanny Valley Nepo isn't real, he can't hurt you" :P
Did Nepo really ever made that face?
It‘s AI generated
No asterisk required.

@@112233JORDAN the draw conversation was clearly just an amusing interaction between friends.
Taking bets on which will happen first: Levy becoming a GM or Eric learning to look threatening.
Heat death of the universe
Damn. The shade. Lol I'd take Levy. Eric is a sweetheart.
eric rosen. more like eric GOATsen. ha.
Hi eric enjoy your videos good job
I bet he won! Edit: He didn't :(
The "Bet"-ysburg Address. Even shorter than the first one.
Seemed like Eric was intimidated, resulting in overthinking, second guessing, poor time management

If you watched his game vs. Hans, he was visibly very nervous. He still beat him.
@@alexwhimself Would he have played better, with more confidence, and/or faster if he wasn't that nervous, that's the question. Thanks.
*JOINT World Blitz Champion
*Co-Champion
For some reason
I hate these AI generated thumbnails 🤮
If it helps, it's not AI.
Co*
Magnus should’ve been champion
Chess is not fighting. Perhaps a version of battling but only of you put up a good fight.
a not the
Good point. Title updated!
15 seconds ago omg
Maybe first
So close, but some spammer beat you to it.
