"Do you like fish?"
Eric: *Stockfish 3 PTSDs intensifies
I rofl on this ghahahahaha underrated
Did he lose to stocktopus 3?
Stock fish 3 just triggered my thoughts like 8 times in a row
4:34 he stays away from the exotic fish, but enjoys the average common stock fish
Oh a video with the most beautiful person in the chess community and.. above him is Anna Cramling
Veni. Vici. Liked.
@@thisbevibhor lmao, well played
definitely agree.
Incorrect!! Ben Finegold is not featured in this video.
lmao i was gonna say its eric until i read the full comment
Eric will be such a great grandpa with all the stories and traps and a voice that can put literally anyone to sleep
I swaer
And hopefully he'll be a GM by that time.
33:42
Anna: "I like seeing traps."
Eric: *"MMM"*
19:14 " i love sacrificing "
Eric Rosen: ooo
The webcam flipping made this so funny!
Such a perfectly timed edit hahaha.
It's also very funny at 33:42
Now he's becoming the embodiment of anarchy chess
Do you like fish?
I don't like octopus, dolphin, whale (none of which are fish)
Google "there's no such thing as a fish" ;)
Weird he didn’t mention not liking submarines.
what are octopi
@@baoboumusic holy hell
@@moresnqp A cephalopod
Literally just started playing the Ruy Lopez, this must be a sign…
Same man, was starting to run into trouble in my Italian games
@@bostoncrab4pple I think we’re living the same lives
Same with me
Same man. Started with London.. learned a few traps and now onto this one. I'm only 700elo but just a v casual player
@@UpperGroundNGU don't play the Ruy Lopez if you're 700. It's a super positional, grinding opening. (Yes, I know I'm parroting gothamchess, but it's true in my experience.) Learn the Vienna and the Scotch. You'll do so much better, I promise.
Me: Gets inspired, somehow manages to hang queen on move 1
Are you me
Wow finally i found someone that plays like me
On move 1? That’s impressive
cap 🧢
Finally a worthy opponent , our battle will be legendary.
Anna is the reason why Scandinavia consistently tops tests in reported happiness.
You mean people are Happy because of her or she is Happy enough For everyone?
@@niske A little of this, a little of that. Leaning a little more that but a little bit this.
@@rage2904 dude my dyslexic brain is having trouble reading this
@@lilpizzarolls7829 just pretend he wrote “Yes”
@@lilpizzarolls7829 ... respectively
I have never seen Eric blush like this while talking to her (except ofcourse when someone accepts Stafford Gambit)
Underrated comment right here 👆
@@abhishekks1668 true
35:29 never knew Eric saying "noobs" would be so funny XDD
haha yeah, he looks so awkward saying this bad word... gods bless him
I love the collab with Anna, you both have incredible adorable personalities
gay
So?
@@WhoTFisChedda It’s ok to be gay, buddy.
@@WhoTFisChedda Are you hiding something from yourself?
@@earthwormsim8068 nah Slim Anus you ?
I enjoyed this a lot. Anna’s smile and enthusiasm really lightened things up. Of course Eric’s preparation, knowledge and memory are legendary.
48:21 Anna’s reaction is legit everyone when Eric shows us a trap
*slowly rotating on chair*
*lightly headbanging*
"Yah!"
Anna is fricking adorable!
I really enjoy watching them together it's a nice mix of Eric's calm deminer and Anna's happy and excited personality.
Just as a heads up to everyone watching this video and thinking that they'll play the Ruy Lopez and trap all their opponents and win instantly. I've been playing the Ruy Lopez for 5 years now and it's actually a great positional opening with super solid fundamentals. You're not going to trap people. But you will get very dynamic and interesting middle games that will improve your overall chess! Use this video as inspiration for picking up the opening, but only a little bit of it near the end will actually be relevant to your games.
@AdarshS PVishnu it's one of the only openings I've stuck with the entire time! I learned it as basically a beginner (after a brief experimentation with the Italian and king's gambit), and am now around 2300 lichess.
@@michaelf8221 maybe at 2300 these traps probably don’t work, but at like 1600 down I could easily see most ppl falling for half of the traps in this video
@@TransparentEclipse The issue isn't that people won't fall into the traps. The issue is that all of these traps are in sidelines that nobody ever plays. So you're unlikely to even get near the trap. If you're close to it, then yeah at 1600 I'm sure your opponents could fall into it. Getting there is the issue!
@@michaelf8221 I mean, I assumed this was implied, that u would reach the position, but even if it wasn’t implied there are only so many lines in the ruy Lopez, and most of the common moves a6 kf6 etc have plenty of traps in them, so I doubt it would be impossible or even unlikely u could reach these positions more often than not as both white and black, especially at lower elos where ppl just try to emulate opening theory without actually knowing how to play the position.
@@TransparentEclipse one of the rare times that both parties are correct
erics voice is eerily calming its scary
Don't fight it... Let it take over your mind...
he needs to do audiobooks
I still stick to my Bongcloud opening
"I don't know. I was just naming fish" 😂
Whale
Dolphin
Octopus
:D
@@Galardomond hilarious 😂. Just starts naming animals in the ocean hahaha. Eric is the best
Casually names 2 mammals
Eric's videos are so educational and instructive, thanks for all this content Eric
Eric this video was pure masterclass, explaining everything from early opening traps for both sides all the way into the deep theory, kudos!!
Amazing content!! Very instructive with well-explained concepts!
I love those collabs! Hours of traps to learn
Zero over-hyped screaming, zero intensified staring, zero click bait thumbnail, zero self venting. Yet one of the most useful and meaningful chess content to exist out there.
hmmm, i wonder who you're talking about XD
To be ordained into anarchychess you must watch this video on loop for 24 hours straight with only one five minute bathroom break.
50:05 "This is still... so-called, like... umm... what's the term... theory!"
this was the worst Ben Finegold impersonation ever, Eric XD
Me, who already plays the Ruy Lopez:
_I'm four parallel universes ahead of you._
Lol
@@Krabbzy italian masterrace haha

@@Krabbzy the simp opening
Thank you for your service
Great video, love it! I hope I'll be able to memorize some of those nice traps...
Brilliant. I am transitioning from d4 and c5 as my main openings to freshen up, spanish looks fantastic.
Only in the first minute still, but great choice of collab! Anna has great energy, and the Ruy Lopez is such a common opening that everyone needs to learn about it. Well done!
The thing I love most about Eric is how he not only shows how to play certain openings as white/black, and the traps you can do, but also goes over different lines as the opposite colour (e.g. black in Ruy Lopez, or white in a Stafford), and shows how you can defend against those traps, and also gives you traps you can use against it.
And I actually do feel inspired to go and try the Ruy Lopez in future games now.
you inspire me to be a better uncle, teacher and generally a better person
These videos are great to play along with on a tablet and analysis board
thanks for this amazing content!
Had a checkmate like the one at 28:00 really early in a game recently and i was so proud of myself
There's also a fishing pole variation in the Modern Steinitz which Valeri Yandemirov often used: 3...a6 4.Ba4 d6 5.0-0 Bg4 6.h3 h5., where White can fall for 7.hxg4 hxg4 8.Nh2 Qh4. I've had that and the Noah's Ark Trap with Black on several occasions. (And I agree that the c3 gambit is a good antidote to the Noah's Ark Trap). Really liked your coverage of the trap against the ...Nge7 line (with the knight/bishop mates after "Oh no my queen!"), I wasn't aware of that one.
Thank you I have been studying this for about a month
I’ve always been a fan of the exchange variation to get that long term kingside pawn advantage, it’s easier than learning all of this other theory but recently I’ve been forced to expand my opening repertoire so this is nicely timed, thank you 🙏
Dr Lasker liked it.
Disgusting
This video will inspire me to play the first two moves of the ruy lopez!
And then play Bc4, as you should
good work man Thanks for sharing
At first i thought this ws a 10 minute video but then i realized it's 1 hour! I was so happy. Thank you Eric for amazing educative content
What a wholesome duo
nice refresh of ideas, thanks guys. Anna is so cute and adorable. So is Eric :)
I like how Anna seems so distracted and not listening all the time, but is still spot-on with observations and conclusions whenever Eric tests her.
I really enjoyed this one. Those were some pretty clever moves, and it was quite challenging to find the right answers :)
Are Eric and Anna the two most wholesome people on earth?
Take a shot every time Eric says "I'll show one more trap..."
wow i drbk alot oky nhow wit?
I love playing the Ruy Lopez so this video is an absolute favourite of mine
Love these long opening vids.
Anna's smile is so beautiful.
It's too big for her face haha :)
Started playing ruy lopez this month, had good success
This is the type of video we need, but dont deserve,
anarchychess vibes paired with the prettiest and cutest chess streamer there is, together with anna cramling, love it
This video is tha kind I'll need to watch more than once.
best collab ever.
Out of all the chess coach type videos on TH-cam, Eric is by far the most helpful
Amazing content as always eric. What programs do you use to study a game and search common moves at the same time?
Great!!
Am I the only one who was like "a dolphin isn't a fish!" lol
Really fantastic video.
thank you Eric!!
love this video, both are so cool.
Awesome video!
Amazing video just too good
4:55 the moment Anna's happiness vanished
I love the knight and bishop mating combinations. I notice a trend of black getting punished when they develop their knight to the 7th rank as opposed to the 6th rank.
Cramling bouncing around, with such a big brain chess is music to her ears
Best Ruy lopez video on TH-cam
I dont know why or how, but if you one day come to galicia (an spanish province) and dont try "pulpo a feira" o "pulpo a la gallega" (in english would be... duno, galaic octopus or something like that) im reporting you to the authorities (jokes aside, its really good, what i like most is at the end when there is nothing left and with bread you can put it down the plate with the oils and spices, its awesome really)
As a noob who relies mostly on being relatively solid with London and King's Indian, I have to say this video motivates me to finally diversify a bit. It just seems so fun and dynamic.
I have been playing the french with white recently. Try it out, it's a ton of fun
@@nathanrobbins2440 you can't play the french with white buddy
@@lt422 sorry I meant the english
Two of the nicest people to ever teach chess. If I could only pick two coaches, it be these two.
Thank you
Daniel Naroditsky teaches very clearly too
Eric: *says anything*
Anna: *nods vigorously*
Oh no my queen, on his stream 🥺🥺🥺
He really is the protagonist of Anarchy Chess
Bless him
That "do u like fish" went right over his head lol
I'm not gonna lie , this helped me A LOT for my school tournament.
My man
Also: at 48:20, the terms 'poisonous' and 'trap' are extremely misleading, because after Nxd4 and Bd5, Black can protect the Knight on c6 with Qd7, and after Bxe4 - then follows d5, attacking the Bishop. Now you can sac that Bishop or retreat, if you retreat, then e4 will follow and now you'll lose the Knight (unless you prefer losing your Queen)
Anna is the best...her inner beauty is shines through with an uncommon radiant smile
Eric is cool too
I play the Ruy Lopez every times, it's incredible how it is so cool !!!
I play the George Lopez
I play the Joe Lopez
I play the Ronald Lopez
There are always lots of cool, new traps to find in the spanish! Are there any cool traps in the nimzo-indian you could share?
Thanks for the lesson! I was just about to google Ruy Lopez
Holy hell
Eric: shows one of the most popular 3rd moves in Ruy Lopez and asks what to do here for black
International Master Anna Cramling: Oh, haven't seen this before😅😅
“On, what is this, move 3?” I see Eric has been reading “Who’s Turn is it?” By Grandmaster Finegold.
Must take the opportunity to say that your videos and the ones of Daniel Naroditsky are the best to learn! That you for that!
I'm so terribly inspired to play the Roy Lopez now, thanks Anna and Eric!
Not sure why but i straight out started laughing at the question "do you like fish?" and then Eric explaining his preference in fish.
The Ruy was the first opening I really tackled, before switching to d4 structures. Actually had a decent repertoire back when. Maybe I’ll have to revisit it
5:28. There is a clutch move in this position which I bet only a few players will find, though I'm only a 600 elo player. Instead of Nxe5, you play pawn to g2 which disallows the move Qh4, threatening mate. Its true that you end up losing a knight, but atleast you didn't get checkmated meaning the game continues equally in material to both sides (Black and white). But if you are good enough you'll surely end up winning material and hopefully also winning the game later on.
Noah' Ark Trap: White looks strong with Bxf7 (after c5). How would you continue for Black?
Only OGs will remember the original title being, “This Video will inspire you to play the Ruy Lopez”
Me (400 player): Great I am inspired to play the Ruy Lopez! If Eric can do it I can! (Continues to get crushed 20 games in a row) “ I hate chess”
Just focus on not hanging all your pieces before you study openings too much
Don't play the Ruy Lopez if you're sub ~1500! It's a grinding, positional opening. Also, like the other guy said, at 400 you don't need to know openings per se, just opening principles.
If you really want to use a traditional opening, learn the Vienna and the Scotch.
Levy Rozman advises not to play it until you're like 1700. It's also why I don't play the Sicilian.
I see guys! I’ll definitely have to learn a lot more before watching videos of Rosen who has practice Chess for many years and thinking I would win applying it to my games. I will definitely play more standard games with easy positions and beginning openings. 👍🏻
@@nostxlgianostxlgia6878not to be like, "no! You're wrong again," but you can absolutely apply his principles. Just play pretty much any e4 opening than the ruy.
You and Anna make a beautiful pair😍
Nice
I’d like a video like this for the giocco piano or even just the Italian in general, it’s the main thing I play with white.
16:26 why not Qh5 check winning back the knight?
Edit: just realized knight can cover on g6
eric after checkmating opponent after 57 moves:
"this is still theory"
