Man my problem with mouse slips was I get discouraged with my next move since I have things planned out. After watching these videos I learned not to give up right away and find a way to make it up.
Great comeback win! A lot of good lessons in there. Your commentary made it extra exciting and dramatic, especially the fortunate mouse slip. Bigups to one of my fave political pundits David Pakman for organizing the tournament.
Eric, you’re such an inspiration! I’m a new player and the way you explain things and how humble you’re makes you the best teacher! Thank you for your videos and all the best to you.
Whaaaaat I have been following your videos (mostly from the Saint Louis Chess Club channel) and Pakman for YEARS; so great to see the 2 come together haha!
Me: there’s no way I’m watching almost an hour video Also me: going back after the video to rewatch the most intense parts again. On the edge of my seat the whole time.
Why in the hockey puck would you be like, “An hour long video!? Nooooo waaaaay!!! I got better things to do with my time… Like watching 65 ten second videos! Like, duh, nah-wha-I meeEEEAN⁉️ -✊🏾🐻💚
@@peep2268 aaaaaand ya obviously missed my point… But that’s OK. Oh! And you’re wrong! It’s 10.833 minutes long ;-) (since we’re being so “testicle” about it :-)......... that’s me being defensive about my math being ALL wrong😂 SMH😊
He is better at explaining what's going on in the game than anyone else. I think it's because has a deeper understanding than the vast majority(possibly all). He also isn't in love with himself like a lot of youtubers that post on the subject. That quality of his makes him a lot more pleasurable to watch.
I tried to work it out and if he plays b3 then black plays Bxd3, white plays Qxd3, black plays Rxc3, and white can't take back cause the rook is protected, at least that's my thinking ^^
I know this is an older video but goodness it was a gripping tale, I for sure thought 1st was gone with that loss, and then you managed to clutch or straight down punish for it anyway! Love the videos, they've started to resurface my love for the game
I like chess, even not being a good player (I dont have neither the gift nor the time to improve). Thats why I really enjoy watching your play. Its so smooth. Keep it up!
Such a cool position at 17:55 - if white did Be3xa7 instead it would look so weird and awkward that it may prompt black to blunder the game with Rf8-f7 :D Love the content, thank you Eric!
24:30 white to e4 if black takes it you trade knights and gain a fork on the bishop and the rook. With midlane open for the queen and rook moving bishop onto the knights position.
15:40 Re4 is a nice alternative to what you played. kind of a rook fork, winning the exchange, or winning the centre. 28:00 Again a rook move. Rook e2 defends the pawn.
At 15:44 I have a pretty interesting move sequence starting with Ne6. If fxe6, then Qxg4 threatening Bh6. If Bxe6 then Bxe6 and after fxe6 Qxg4 still threatening Bh6 and Qxg7#. Am I missing something or is this a viable option?
19:22 bishop D3 doesnt work either. Bishop takes D3 and if knight takes, Queen pins, but if Black Queen takes on D3, pawn takes knight and White Queen stays defended by the rook
Thanks for almost getting the nakhmanson Gambit. Really waiting to see it on your video. I don't have twitch but really enjoy watching your TH-cam videos
I have a question, I don't know if you will see this but, when I start a pawn storm early, say with a4, engine says it's a mistake, then when I play something else next move, it says it's a blunder, correct move is a5...how is a5 correct when a4 was wrong.
I went 5-4 in the first tournament I tried. I got better with the time control as the evening progresses and won the last three. Openings like the London System, etc. may work well in tournament like this (openings where people walk into sudden mating attacks).
I got an ad about a woman who lost her child to cancer before the video and emotionally I really got pulled into her story and forgot about the video, and then suddenly I see a chess board and Eric saying “well anyway” and I just loled
That first loss was hard to watch, your such a good player but blitz is still blitz. Keep your opponents clock ticking not yours, think on his time not yours, don’t be afraid to trust your intuition.
Bob Ross is perfect, he should have the killing them softly in the background playing at all times. I do have one suggestion, @Eric Rosen you did a vid awhile back showing average view times and it was somewhere around 8 or 9 min maybe.. To pack as much content and shorten as many as possible. That is it. Love your channel.

Now do this for 12 hour marathon video he has in this channel
Nice analysis
Very nice of you, getting Eric to pin your comment since that's all he wants to do.
ANDROMEDA it was in this positioniero agadmatorino
29:42 "Don't resign when you have a knight" ... "Oh wait, I just dropped the knight. Argh, time to resign!"
Gold 😂😂😂
Best part hahha
Love this hahahaha
3:24 "are you Rosen?"
Eric: "yes, IM Rosen"
The name’s Rosen, IM Rosen
41:19 - Rosen has the golden touch. Even his mouse slips win him the game.
Best moment of the whole stream
That mouseslip was ridiculous
Some of his best moves are mouse lips.
Man my problem with mouse slips was I get discouraged with my next move since I have things planned out. After watching these videos I learned not to give up right away and find a way to make it up.
I mean make up for it
"There is time probably for one more game"
*proceeds to win 3 games in 5 minutes still having time to watch the game of the guy in 2nd place
ahaha :DD true dat
Lucky second guy played slower while he played super aggressive so he finished 1 more game than the second place.
I don’t often take the time to sit down and watch a whole tournament like this on TH-cam, but this was ACTION PACKED and AWESOME!
Same here
@@danielzaiser It's funny because it's true. And Eric's voice is so calm.
Totally agree Eric content is something to watch and relax
This guy is the Bob Ross of chess. Respect
I personally disagree. I think Yasser is better described as ‘The Bob Ross of Chess’
I compared Eric to Bob Ross a year ago. I wonder if others have come to the same conclusion. How often and when?
No. It is Vishwanathan Anand.
Sanjeev Khurana he might be if he streams or commentates more
LOOK UP “YASSER”
That "mouse slip" was an unconscious stroke of genius. Caused your opponent to waste time and it ended up leading to checkmate. Well done!
I wish my mouseslips were as good
@@Snoooo its always my queen
Eric Rosen: *mouseslip
Opponent: "Wait, what? OH DUDE! THIS GUY IS A GENIUS!"
Fun fact: I actually found Eric Rosen because David Pakman said he liked his streams :)
Welcome
Who is david pacman??
@@xXErr4rXx one of the most famous liberal political commentators on youtube.
@Blake Peaden Were you dropped on your head?
Me too!
"Knights are tricky! Don't resign when you have a knight."
famous last words
Great comeback win! A lot of good lessons in there. Your commentary made it extra exciting and dramatic, especially the fortunate mouse slip. Bigups to one of my fave political pundits David Pakman for organizing the tournament.
"That was a mouse slip I'm just losing a piece now, unless I'm not"😂😂😂💔
He’s picking up his comedic voice via Ben “Finegold”. The young grasshoppah’s learning from the mastah🎶🎻🦗
Eric, you’re such an inspiration! I’m a new player and the way you explain things and how humble you’re makes you the best teacher! Thank you for your videos and all the best to you.
55:58 "you are the goat"
Rosen: oh thanks, the goat... I'll take that as a compliment
lmao
41:19 when the gods of chess slightly deviate your mouse to give you the right move :D
Great games Eric, thanks for the content ! Cheers from France
I miss these long videos!! 56 minutes of goodness. Whooooh.
Whaaaaat I have been following your videos (mostly from the Saint Louis Chess Club channel) and Pakman for YEARS; so great to see the 2 come together haha!
34:16 is he saying "fossil"? I've heard Hikaru use the same term, what is it exactly? Thanks!
It's like how a fossil is hidden under stone, the rook hides behind the bishop, ready for attack on Black's queen
Hikaru uses "fossil attack" to mean "discovered attack"
It’s an xqc meme
Fossils are discovered so if a move in chess comes with a discovered attack, some cool kids call it a fossil.
Makes a ton of sense. Thanks!
Great content Eric, Keep up the good work.
"this bishop is awkward, seems like he's in a committed relationship with the queen" ahahah
Instant classic! 😅
Me: there’s no way I’m watching almost an hour video
Also me: going back after the video to rewatch the most intense parts again.
On the edge of my seat the whole time.

New to chess and glad I found this guy I'm no Bobby Fischer by any stretch but this guy explains it so well.
He is better at explaining what's going on in the game than anyone else. I think it's because has a deeper understanding than the vast majority(possibly all). He also isn't in love with himself like a lot of youtubers that post on the subject. That quality of his makes him a lot more pleasurable to watch.
So amusing watching you mouse slip to victory. Thanks for being awesome at chess with such a humble chill attitude about it.
Eric starting every game: “This is not good for my opponent” Badass haha 😎
Just went and checked the YT vid, great atmosphere on twitch, it was amazing to watch! Hope to catch you again soon!
Fell asleep during the stream..here to finish what I started!
he makes good asmr
56:00 Chat: “You are the G.O.A.T.!”
56:05 Eric: “Oh, thanks… the goat... I’ll take that as a compliment.”
23:39 "I can't play b3"
b3 is one of the top choices of Stockfish.
But why can't he play b3?
Would also like to know
Maybe it's one of those lines only engines can follow.
I tried to work it out and if he plays b3 then black plays Bxd3, white plays Qxd3, black plays Rxc3, and white can't take back cause the rook is protected, at least that's my thinking ^^
@@bienangelo9161 No, there's no line to follow. There's nothing that speaks against it. We'll never know why he thought he couldn't play it.
You’re so damn good!! I can watch these for hours.
I know this is an older video but goodness it was a gripping tale, I for sure thought 1st was gone with that loss, and then you managed to clutch or straight down punish for it anyway! Love the videos, they've started to resurface my love for the game
Yay, a new video with several games! I'd missed those. Highlights are nice but so is this relaxing content
Loving these long videos. Keep uploading these please!
Excellent performance, Eric. Nice to see attacking chess and the games are better when you don't berserk! Well done.
41:18 Caissa is with you., Eric.
Knight g1 setting up for the next game killed me 😂😂
"Knights are tricky.. never Resign when you have a Knight."
*Loses Knight*
"Agh, time to resign."
So calm, like the voice and rythum and so instructive good job
I like chess, even not being a good player (I dont have neither the gift nor the time to improve). Thats why I really enjoy watching your play. Its so smooth. Keep it up!
I love watching how he thinks while playing best chess lessons ever!!!
Such a cool position at 17:55 - if white did Be3xa7 instead it would look so weird and awkward that it may prompt black to blunder the game with Rf8-f7 :D Love the content, thank you Eric!
24:30 white to e4 if black takes it you trade knights and gain a fork on the bishop and the rook. With midlane open for the queen and rook moving bishop onto the knights position.
I fall asleep to watching your videos every night now, youre just so god damn relaxing to watch
Yea bro I feel that, helps me so much to sleep every night
Same bro, crashed on this.
Eric you constantly remind me why I cant break 2200. I love your videos. Thanks for taking the time!
At 2:57 any reason he doesn’t play Nef7?
15:40 Re4 is a nice alternative to what you played. kind of a rook fork, winning the exchange, or winning the centre.
28:00 Again a rook move. Rook e2 defends the pawn.
On the second one the opponent responds by going QxE4, you're forced to respond by taking with the Rook and then you lose the pawn anyway.
Nice to have an IM share his thoughts as he plays.
The amount of theory you know is incredible. I can't believe you're not a GM.
You are the Goat
Eric~ “....... I’ll take that as a complement” 😂
Mad respect as I watch both you and Pakman.
Always treat to watch. Learned many things
can u pls try "the nakhmanson gambit"
He already knows it
I like watching your videos. I played when I was young and started again lately. I'm 58 now lol I get by ass kicked daily, but it is still fun!
26:34 can black play Nxe3+ after Ra-d1? Sorry I'm bad at the game and I don't see a problem with this
You outdid yourself with this one, Eric. Good job
At 15:44 I have a pretty interesting move sequence starting with Ne6. If fxe6, then Qxg4 threatening Bh6. If Bxe6 then Bxe6 and after fxe6 Qxg4 still threatening Bh6 and Qxg7#. Am I missing something or is this a viable option?
19:22 bishop D3 doesnt work either. Bishop takes D3 and if knight takes, Queen pins, but if Black Queen takes on D3, pawn takes knight and White Queen stays defended by the rook
"Splay this move." - Eric Rosen
That was great fun, thanks Eric!
That was dope Eric amazing Salut !!!
42:02 You did not say "Oh no my Queen!"
I just love the way u say "ok Stafford gambit time" aahhhhh ❤️
Why dont you fork the queen and rook at 3:03 ???
You're strong as hell, I wanna play like you someday
If you work you will get there
Thanks for almost getting the nakhmanson Gambit. Really waiting to see it on your video. I don't have twitch but really enjoy watching your TH-cam videos
Great Chess Player! I watch your videos frequently.
Never expected to hear Pakman's name in this part of town
"Neff SAID"
at 48:40 there is a nice sack: bishop takes the f7 pawn. I believe this is winning for white
What's the Natminson (?) Gambit that he mentions at 4:06?
That was insane. Congrats!
Can someone explain to me why his opponent resigned at 42:53? I literally can't for the life of me figure out whv
The opponent had just lost a bishop with no compensation and thus Eric in easy winning position
Very nice run to an epic ending, well done!
"You are the GOAT" - G.O.A.T. = Greatest Of All Time.

@@paulmorphy6314 Dirty flag
Excellent games. Very thrilling until the very end!
Wish I had this calm nature in life 👍 What a legend!
41:15
Oh no no no no no
Call an ambulance!!
CALL AN AMBULANCE!!
BUT NOT FOR ME
Proceeds to checkmate
I have a question, I don't know if you will see this but, when I start a pawn storm early, say with a4, engine says it's a mistake, then when I play something else next move, it says it's a blunder, correct move is a5...how is a5 correct when a4 was wrong.
27:10 didnt this move block the rook and pawn take is just over ?
At 16:47 why doesn’t he play queen d5 am I missing something?
I went 5-4 in the first tournament I tried. I got better with the time control as the evening progresses and won the last three. Openings like the London System, etc. may work well in tournament like this (openings where people walk into sudden mating attacks).
Try Bishop to h6. 17:05 Threatening mate and the best way to stop it is to sacrifice rook (Bishop takes) after pawn to g6
I got an ad about a woman who lost her child to cancer before the video and emotionally I really got pulled into her story and forgot about the video, and then suddenly I see a chess board and Eric saying “well anyway” and I just loled
A pawns: disgusted drake face
Double D pawns: satisfied drake face
16:44 any reason why Nxb7 doesn't work?
Game 2 made me want to learn the smith-morra, it’s so good that your opponent sacks all their pieces and gets mated within 12 moves lol
2:57 what was wrong with moving knight f7?
It's only because of toggy that we were able to watch this brilliant stream 🔥
I enjoy watching your videos. Thank you.
14:03 can someone explain why he would play Nc3?
i've been watching both your guys' channels for a while. wasn't expecting this cross-overlap. great games!
so can we all agree that knight is the most annoying thing when there are not a lot of pieces on the board?
Mouse slipping into a checkmate lmao. Incredible
Congratulations Eric!!! You're really a professional player. Nice Gambits tho
Destiny got destroyed in this chess tournament
Good
Destiny strikes me as a deplorable person. Glad he's helping to promote chess though.
C.Rockstar.B independent of his political opinions, he is a creep
I watched his stream of this for 10 minutes. I have never before found watching chess to be such an unpleasant experience. Realllllly annoying.
HiveDes wait why is he a creep? I mean yeah he is a sex addict but this doesn’t make him a creep right?
that was nail-biting! what great games!
That first loss was hard to watch, your such a good player but blitz is still blitz. Keep your opponents clock ticking not yours, think on his time not yours, don’t be afraid to trust your intuition.
Put content on YT always, I love it! 😎
Can someone please explain how you are highlighting the possible moves with the attack aarows? I play on my phone is it a pc only feature?
