That day Eric added "Oh no I'm drunk" to his repertoire
Wuack
Picked the wrong day to stop sniffing glue!
Eric :- 8 weird opening traps
Me-: all my openings are weird
but the real question is, is it still theory?
I like to open with f3 then g4
@@coconuttree5045 i feel you
@@mukyumukyun wrong eric
@@mukyumukyun yes
Man now that i think about it,Eric's voice is perfect for Audiobooks.
Yeah I think he should just get a part time job as book reader, his voice just soothes the pain away
Ngl at night, sometimes I fall asleep at his videos because his voice is so soothing to the ears.
@@samshankar9413 same
@@torben22.16I think mrwhosetheboss voice is better and is recommended by viewers to make him male google assistant
@@space0015 Damn bro didn't realise only 1 guy can have a nice voice at once
Everybody gangsta til "oh yes my queen"
Yeah, when you hear Eric say "Oh no, my queen" that is the least expected thing he could say next
I laughed too hard
🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🚬
I know a couple gangsters that love chess... I thought I had a nice chess game, but there was this triple OG blood who i could NOT beat
I never thought I would see Eric simping
Been in a slump recently, I don't seem to be enjoying games. But listening to Eric and watching long analytical videos like this always perks me right up. The positive energy that emanates from this man is something I haven't seen since Bob Ross.
When he gets old, he'd literally be the Bob Ross of chess.
@@highkage9535 One of these days Eric should make a Bob Ross-themed thumbnail
Levy does that for me too.
That's high praise!
@@chrisko-pelago8753 only thing I don't think will go over well is "No mistakes, just happy accidents." Nope, those were definitely mistakes... And blunders
35:40 After knight f6, King f8, Bishop h6, checkmate
That rhyme is smooth as hell
Bars
Oh wow that's some poetic structure as well.
That Caro Kann trap was dope af. Queen sacrifices are the best
Incredible trap, the only thing wrong with it is it's such a hard position to achieve
I had the same line but I didn't know until now
Eric is such a nice person that I didn’t skip the audible sponsor
Trueeeeee this is the only time I have ever done it
i did, i saw it in other of his videos and theres no point watching it teice
5:23 All the top games won by the same guy... you are runing his strat Eric
That guy is the one who beat Eric lol
Who knew pulling an all nighter would perfectly time this video so Eric can talk me to sleep
Literal same boat bro. Gn
hope you have a good sleep
I'm a lumberjack and I'm OK
I chess all night and I sleep all day.
12:12 oh yes my queen 😂😂😂
Glad to see Eric get a sponsorship, get that money
ikr! Eric is one of the few TH-camrs who deserve ad revenue and I’ll gladly tune in lol
@@quantumblip4715 I almost skipped over it out of muscle memory but then I realized it was Eric getting money is I watched it in full
@@jwcfive7999 it doesn't matter if you watch it or not you know
"Or, what the germans call 'swischensuug'"
Every german: The what?
Somebody should teach Eric that the German 'z' is more pronounced like a sharp 's' or 'c' in English, e. g. like in 'see' or 'cymbal'. If one prepends a 't', it's getting even closer, so like 't-cymbal'.
lol you’re german thats tough 😂
@@SebastianBohn z more like the hissing sound of a snake ? or maybe " tse " im not sure if the english use tse as such. but nice try with cymbal. makes sense
For anyone interested it's called Zwischenzug
@@Evidiestv It's more like 'ts' as in cymbal, not like in snake or symbol 😉. Tricky to find an English term that fits. This is the best attempt I could find.
Man I was beginning to doubt my chess play until number 5, thank you for throwing in a nice calculation puzzle like that, made me feel good about my visualisation skills, love you IM Eric Rosen!
eric: don’t try this trap at home!
proceeds to try it over the board instead
I was so ecstatic when I managed to calculate Bb4# in my head for one of the traps
wait which trap was it?
21:50
@@katgpt thank you
I don't get it. It's already written down.
Thanks for the shout-out Eric!
I actually contacted you while I was writing the book to get your help with opening prep but I don't think we ever scheduled a session... oh how things could've been different
we need to start gatekeeping eric from our opponents because these traps will be circulating for the next few weeks
You want to play the best opponent. You have to have deeper preparation than your opponent. Never suppress the truth out of fear of be “lesser” than. Chess is about spreading the knowledge....never hoarding it.
@@remainconfident1 no I want to play trap against dumb opponent
Is that a bad thing? Now you know the traps and can play around them :b
I have also noticed that whenever Eric Rosen shows a trap everybody on lichess start playing it
@@remainconfident1 Never supress dairy, either.
Eric Rosen and Levy Rozman casually referencing each other is like two running TV series in a single universe. HAHAHAHAAHAHA
tipsy gm alekhine trap is really aesthetic
This was a really interesting and we'll constructed video Eric :) more like this would be great :)
Love it how chill and professional you are. No politics, no drama, no religion, no trash content. I am always so happy when you upload a chess video. CHESS video. Keep up the good work mate!
Shut up atheist
@@hiks6539 how do you know I'm an atheist?
Because u no like religion
@@hiks6539 I hate religion, I love Jesus
@@ja-k0 hypocrite asss colonizer shut up and go play chess 🤣
Consistently solid content and teaching, Eric. It's rare to find a keen mind that can clearly express the thought process at a pace and level that all can follow and enjoy. Thank you!
That Caro trap was amazing! I've been playing this h5 line for some time, but this is new for me. Thanks for the video Eric!
Great video Eric! I really enjoyed the stories that accompanied some of these traps, especially the tipsy GM lol
Thanks for some more amazing traps. Been loving your videos as well as all the thumbnails. Cheers for all the great work
"Oh yes my Queen!" ..... My marriage in a nutshell.
Don't be a simp
Bro it’s his wife
I actually "physically" laughed when I saw the last trap.
Keep up the good content 👌👏🏻
I've seen 7) "Du berry" trap when using the opening explorer following the highest winrate moves for white, but I didn't understand the point of Nd5 so it's great that confusion was cleared up
I haven't seen any of these traps. Loving the content, great commentary and interesting lines. Keep it up (:
Eric: You shouldn't try this at home.
Me: goes to friend's house to try the opening.
I love these prepared youtube-exclusive videos, reminds me of your saint louis lectures, so interesting, chill and professional at the same time!
Looking over my games I did play someone who it appears tried the "tipsy grandmaster" one on me, but by sheer luck I managed to avoid it and win the game due to better development.
Love this format! Education, entertainment, and puzzles!
Definitely love these sorts of trap videos! Also, my favourites were the smith-morra trap and the last one!
Thank Rosen, really needed this
You are awesome Eric. Great content! Fun openings. I haven't encountered any of them before.
Awesome video. Love the pace and excellent explanations. Thank you for putting in the time to help us all be better Chess players.
1. Really enjoyed the "oh no I'm drunk" trap. Mostly for the backstory lol 2. I haven't seen these before 3. I'd really enjoy you making a youtube series out of your old shoebox games like you did on stream the other day. I think people would really enjoy that sort of content. Seeing you rise and realizing that becoming a stronger player is always attainable, as well as going along with your passion to teach and make instructive content.
Some really interesting traps here, thanks Eric.
I didn't know any of them until now but I really liked the 7th one! Thanks alot for showing it Eric!
The Torre trap and Caro Kahn trap were my favorite. Really enjoy these trap videos.
This was a really great interesting video. Thanks Eric!
Keep up the sponsorships! Ive heard every audible add on the planet but you make me wana buy it
I've gotten the Lasker Trap once against someone and it felt so good
Fantastic content and you totally deserve a sponsor!
Very great content! I would love more trap videos
Maybe best opening traps that top-20-level players have fell into?
My favorite from this list was the first one.
More opening studies, and potential traps please! :)
German prononciation crash course:
Luft --> Looft
Zwischenzug --> Tsvishen Tsoog
The «u» is a oo sound as in room, but short.
I love all traps, would love more content, and I haven't yet seen these.
Beautiful video Eric love this content.
Bb4# is so beautiful - it's like some accelerated opera mate with the queen...
I’ve gotten so much better at chess just by seeing how you think through your videos
Great video Eric! I would love to see a video with "adaptive defenses" for black depending on different moves white makes in the beginning. Or vise versa 👍👍
I liked the Caro trap, because I might actually play this and I didn't see it even after I paused. Would love to see more videos like this.
Hey Eric! Great content! You were my introduction to the Stafford Gambit and I would love to learn the opening (unfortunately have not been able to play it hardly at all though)! With future videos such as this, you might want to consider explaining how to counter the traps?
He does show the best move for the opposing side in most of these examples 🤷
Great ⚡
Thnk u Eric
I enjoy the Légal Trap very much, especially the ''oh no my queen line''
Cool and interesting video and of course, the traps are amazing
Thank u Eric well done!
As a Torre and Alekhine player, proud to already have known about those traps in addition to the main idea of the last one.
Good content! Thanks.
congrats on another sponsorship eric! you deserve it
420k subscribers! Congrats!
The caro kann trap was really cool. I found the moves, or I guess the idea behind it because I've seen a puzzle like that before
my favorite trap was the guaranteed promotion queen sac one. that was insanely cool with the way the queen was reborn. it should be called the phoenix trap :) thanks for the fantastic content eric!!
The first trap or the caro kann trap would be my pick of the bunch, board geometry is always super satisfying
The Du Berry was my favorite trap out of this video. But the tipsy alekhine was fun to watch too thanks to the story behind it.
22:40 rip to that one sad soul who took on c6
*e
Hi Eric! Absolutely loved this video. #5 unexpected checkmate against French defense and #7 the Du Berry trap were my favorites. #5 is a beautiful checkmate and the du berry was an excellent tactical and spatial advantage
Caro Kann trap also a favorite
First one and the Last one is amazing. Thank you for this Video.
I hadn't seen any of these traps before. The Torre and the Caro-Kann ones were my favourites. 👍
Ah, awesome. Particularly loved that last one.
19:42 does not quite trap the Queen, because Bb4+.
I hadn't seen these traps before, and I really liked the last one the most.
Great video, great traps.
As a Smith Morra player... I liked the black bishop move! Will be using that also! (Would love a Smith Morra video if you ever do one) I have a book, but books are so hard to digest to dig out the traps sometimes.
When Eric says OK in between traps it reminds me of Jim Carrey as Andy Kaufman in Man on the Moon.
Very nice material. I've never seen any of these traps before! I wonder if you could perhaps do some end-game related content? I feel that my end-game skills lag far behind everything else, because most of my games (around 1800 rating points on Lichess) end early either because someone gets mated or just get advantage enough to make the other side surrender the game. Therefore when it does come to play an end-game (especially one including queens and pawns) I often get outplayed.
All of these traps are beautiful
I think I speak for everyone when I say we want a off-beat gambits video along this same structure
opening traps from eric are the reason I picked up chess again :)
The last trap is my favourite personally. Sure the setup to it is very dubious, but the queen sac out of nowhere is amazing!
I do like how Eric shows his errors with such good attitude.
Would love to see more Van Geet openings, or something similar that's actually playable in blitz or rapid
Thank you Audible for supporting the man the myth the legend Scott Sterling
I was really proud of myself for visualizing that line and finding that double checkmate at the end.
All are excellent Eric...
Great video!! X
Hello Mr. Rosen
The Caro-Kann trap was the coolest idea - especially because i am a caro-kann player.
I do have one question you may want to cover in your next video: what do you think about the e6/b6 build against 1.d4?
my man getting sponsors
Very nice!
My favorite was the Caro Kann trap, so crazy and so abnormal but so satisfying to see it work out perfectly. Haven't seen these traps btw.
"Oh yes my queen" haha that's a new one
I have encountered Du Barry trap in some other variations of Sicilian too, I think even in English attack, good to scan for it if black allows it.
I haven’t seen these before.
I would love to see a video on the K-gambit as it’s my default :-)
a checkmate where both checking pieces are en pris is spectacular
I'd love to see some stuff on the scandinavian - there's a lot of funny lines in there!
I’d love to see you do a ‘6 pawn attack’ opening
The last trap is a work of art
Also the 5th one
