You can't lose your King's castling right
if you don't have a King. Simple chess.
* So many appreciate King's safety
But what if your opponent forces you to promote your pawn to a king 😳
Big brain energy
@@LeventK bruh
@@LeventK Then you're lost. Unless after promotion your King regain castling rights.
@@grzesiek7358 You would promote to the other side of the board and rooks on the bottom side. So no.
Its seems too fun capturing those pawn from behind
( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Until I lose focus of the front of the horde and they crush me
Chuck Norris -> in Front :D
It's a massacre.
Yeah. This is why it is unfair. We don't have a king
random donation: " Take, take, take. Take."
Eric: "Steak. ... mhhhmm"
Eric, with literally no pieces left: "I lost?"
20:15
board to d6
White never has any pieces in the first place because pawns aren’t pieces. 😉
"I forgot to learn Polish"
-Eric Rosen.
Here I am, going about my day, and all of a sudden I get this realization. I forgot to learn Polish... What a blunder.
ja pierdole
O nie, mój polski
Eric losing to the winner of the tournament by actually one pawn: "I feel like a beginner"
When Eric told Alexa to say something nice in Polish my Alexa responded with
“You’re so strong The Rock calls you The Paper”
Be careful around scissors.
"I guess this whole time I'll be pushing pawns."

D: but thats only 1 quote
@@LeventK ye ik i was just making a bad joke
@@mappplesirrup8473 ok so lemme delete the previous reply so someone will miss the joke 😈
@@LeventK hi
What was the joke 😭😭😭😭
03:27 "Oh no my pawns..."
Oh, what to do
Lol Alexa literally said 'something nice" in Polish lmao
Right, she did:)
If you play the Ponziani opening in horde chess, is it called the Pawnziani?
Yes
LOL
😐
Eric rosen humor 101.
Get out.
Look at all those gorgeous pawn cubes
“I said ‘against the Ludwig’. Have to work on my articles” -Eric Rosen, native English speaker
As a non native English speaker i didn't know articles could be used thst way, which is strange since artikelen means the same in my native tongue.
@@catcat4697 well they can't, because Ludwig is a proper noun.
@@binarycat1237 call it Lodewijk and we can talk about it
"Alexa say something nice in polish"
Alexa translates: "Something nice" in polish
"Cos Milego"
I always seem to see white losing these. I think the issue is our intuition of capturing towards the center is a mistake in this variant, since Black's goal is to get behind the pawns and white cannot support the a/h as files easily as the other files, as they are stuck on the edge of the board. I think capturing towards the flanks is the way to go.
i saw a lot of pawns, i clicked
According to Philidor, pawns "are the soul of chess."
@@RemyWillard so is a positional player a pawnstar?
Alex ZHU genius
Alex ZHU XDDD
I'm addicted to internet pawns
I've never seen a more appropriate video in which to play Yasser Sierwan's 'Push em Baby'
"I feel like a beginner at this game"
*is rated over 2000*
Provisional rating though
A normal heartrate is 60-80 at rest for your age. Yours, a doctor with inappropriate tachycardia, which basically means I have a condition where my heart rate sometimes decides to beat at 170 at rest for no reason. A stressful chess game tends to send me into 140s lol. If yours was only 89, you're good. 😂
if it is whites move and the pawns are blocked it is a stalemate
Horde is a severely underrated game. Two games in one.
Its like, one is playing checkers and the other chess
5:48 i am pretty sure Black said “Oh no your pawn”
Eric Rosens Pawnziani opening is rather strange.
This was such a mindfrick for me after watching so any chess tutorials. It was nice to see your thought process in a different environment though! 10/10
6:25 yeah when I saw you pre move that part of the game I thought noooooo what if he takes?!
Hey Eric. I have recently started watching your content, and I love it so far. :) Btw is the reason you like horde chess that it has basically almost the biggest pawn cube possible in chess?
nice to have the video start with :)
It's so funny when youtubers are saying words in Polish. I know that they're hard pronounce for them, beacouse I live in Poland
Black didn't see that he could bongcloud Ke7 and stop your pawn from promoting so that's why he took. He thought you were queening.
No shit
Maybe he knew he was premoving
Wow...so some things in chess do make Eric's heart racing. He is so calm in all time scrambles in normal chess!
Glad to hear
22:35 never change Eric , ya never change ...
6:14 At least he finished at 00.69 time remaining... So that's an achievement. Right?
I only played 8 horde games and never won with white, and I got the general idea with black, trading minor pieces for two pawns, punishing undefended pawns and creating a breakthrough the backrank by sacrificing if necessary.
I think this variant is incredibly unbalanced but I guess it can be actually a good ways of training pawn structure and possibly pawns vs pieces endgames.
Also HordingHoldor is actually a top 10 horde player so yeah he is kinda strong.
Imagine Agadmator reviewing these games. 😂
Eric with the white pieces somehow manages to open with d5
@@chris18thseymour and at the end he'd just go captures, captures, captures, and captures, captures, captures, captures...
lichess doesn't have shogi yet, but have you tried Crazyhouse?
Are there any resources or sites where you can learn theory for different chess variants?
You can check opening book for it on Lichess.
Love your vids Eric - QUESTION? Moving into the end game, if you have a choice to swap off Bishops (all 4 still on the board), is it better to end up with 'like' or 'opposite' colored bishops?
In my opinion (but take it with a grain of salt) if you are better off than your opponent in some way, e.g. a material advantage, a stronger position, a pass pawn etc., then probably "like" is better. It allows you to nullify your opponent's bishop by either preventing it moving where it wants to go, or defending squares it wants to attack, and leaves less chances for your opponent to get the upper hand. Of course, the reverse is also true - if your opponent currently has what seems to be a possible advantage in a similar way, then trading for "opposite" bishops could allow you more chances to come back. It allows you to control key squares your opponent may need to convert their advantage, and allow you to do so freely without much resistance: such as restricting their other pieces, being able to freely attack pawn chains rooted in your bishops colour, prevent the king from moving in to active squares, and to prevent promotion on squares of your bishop's colour. All of those could be met with counterplay from the opponent's bishop if it were of like square. Of course though, it depends on the exact position, but these are useful things to think about when considering a trade. There are of course also other people who could offer their own perspective too, and theirs may be very different!
3:57 - I'm not sure that you could get them to cooperate. Plus it sounds like it'd bee one of the more painful variants.
Wow that was cool to watch! Atomic next? :)
15:00 „coś miłego” means literally „something nice”
The number of pawn cubes in this video is satisfying
I think that Alphazero would hate horde
"oh no my pawns" you're too much, gm rosen
a HORDE - coś miłego.
17:30 he could have captured the knight because if the rook took on h3 then he wins the queen
What? A chess variant I'm better at than Eric? I thought that was impossible! But I guess he plays a couple more horde games and surpasses me in no time. Already in this short video he figured out things that took me weeks to discover. What more can I say, Eric is just awesome! :)
what's your rating in horde chess?
@@dominiks5068 Usually around 2000, slightly over, slightly under. Not that high rating (I zerk a lot, and I shouldn't), but I regularly beat the first guy to whom Eric lost and the 1600 guy to whom Eric almost lost. But Eric just started playing horde, he will be really great really soon if he keeps playing it, I'm sure of that! The last guy, Hording Holdor, is pretty unbeatable, though, he would be a fitting final boss for Eric in due time! :)
Played yesterday it was a lot of fun
Coś miłego, is literraly "something nice" translated :D made me laugh
Hello Eric - over here in the UK, the BBC have caught up with chess streaming and have a short video on their website featuring "three of the world's top chess streamers" - Levy Rozman, Qiyu Zhou and Anna Rudolf. But no Eric Rosen!
damn, how could they missed our king
How did they also miss Hikaru?
I’m from UK and just watched it lol
Seems like they made good selections. Levy as a more hotheaded figure, qiyu just having fun and Anna super wholesome
Anna is like the female Eric in the sense that she is big wholesome so at least there's that
Horse is the best! Glad to see you playing it! RAR approved!
The trick is nit to build strong center... Coz it already is but is to strength the a b and g h profiles, that's what I think 🤔
My favorite chess variant!!!
he really activated my alexa at volume 8 just to say "something nice in polish"
Horde chess is my favorite variant.
Thank you for inspiring me to play horde! I have now become the 2023 Horde World Champion due to your inspiration ^_^
It’s like watching a horde of zombies slowly advancing devore everything in their path 😆
I must not be watching Eric Rosen, because this guy was not at all in any joy of connect 8 and a central pawn cube.
Horde Theory = Push 'Em Baby 12" Remix
Chess zombie mode! Nice!
woah you said egg at 23:03
17:50 here instead of f4??, could have played fxg6 attacking Black's queen, and after Qxg6 or Rxg6 h4
Polish : „Coś miłego” - means sth nice
Something cute
@@easytiger6570 it would be coś słodkiego
@@Aciek25 Something sweet
@@easytiger6570 Yeah if you're using google translate then stop. Just stop. I'm polish. It means something cute. Although it can mean something sweet.
@@TechSupportDave You do realise sweet can be used as cute in English to?
6:38 60-100 is the normal heart rate. Butt in the ICU, 50-150 as long as they're not passed out or distressed.
Is that an algorand mug?
"What to do..."
Btw when you asked Alexa to say something nice in Polish she literally said "something nice"
me when Eric's first opponent plays a5: Do you know En Passant?
More horde or other variants please!!!
He’s got stacked pawns
WOW. King left wiNZ as pawns zilch. Seems like chess should be like this sometimes. Especially when stalemated.
“I fell like a beginner at this game”
-International Master Eric Rosen
This is insane.... Guess I'm gonna try this myself :D
We want more horde!!
Why not push the pawns on the back rank earlier to keep it tight
Coś miłego to you too Eric!
Respect for Jenderal Soedirman
Taking pawns from behind 🤔😏
First game you could have attacked the bishop and rook to make a queen.
The tumbnail is basically a soviet charge
Horde theory is literally just take whenever possible and stop the opponent from getting on the back rank lmao... Harder then it looks!
Genuinely can't tell if Rosen is really chill or really depressed
Okey after watching Sinamon vs mindhunter horde matches, this horde video is coming... Basic?
Oh no my pawn
Man, Eric is spending a minute just thinking about a very simple and non-important move where 8 better moves are possible. Then he has no time left and loses on time. That's the worst time management I've seen in any game.
Jenderal Soedirman
Eric should try anti chess , so many crazy traps !
Pawn cubes
dont pretend that you dont know how pawn moves ...when you look at 2021? its clear its not first time you play horde :)
5:50 Why he moved that pawn?
He pre-moved g4 because he thought black was going to move his king to e7 (preventing a successful promotion). It was a blunder but he only had 3 seconds so he couldn’t really wait to see what black was going to do
i just played a game with the computer at horde chess and it resigned!!! :D
1:16 im highly disappointed u didnt en croissant
0.69 seconds left. nice
14:57 Coś miłego :)
Isn't horde impossible for black?
What do you call a corporation that’s really good at chess?
A brand-master
I laughed more than I should have at this hahaha
Oh No, My (Would Be) Queens!
Lets play hand and brain: I say Pawn
He won connect-16! At least 16
