Hi Eric, I am a blind chess player and was just wondering if you’ve ever considered making the PGN files from your educational videos public so a blind player could follow along in an accessible chess engine? To clarify I am physically blind, not a blindfold player

I love the 'chapters' feature on TH-cam. Not sure when it was added but have only recently noticed, and 'what am I doing with my life?' really got me :')
Letting you know that i made it that far. Great tournament. I just started trying out 3|0 blitz, had been doing 5|0 for a bit. Watching phenomenal players like you helps a lot in understanding how to manage clock, how to play for the clock, and when to sacrifice good moves for fast moves. Love it, big rush
Watched the whole thing. It was awesome. I have been away from the game for 30 years so I don't understand the dirty flag or the berserk but the games were great.
Dirty flag is beating your opponent on time when they're in a winning position Berserk is just a lichess thing (as far as I know) where you take a time deduction for the chance to win bonus points if you win
@@LHommeDeCave worthy to also note that berserking is only in Lichess tournaments and only gives extra tournament points. It has no effect on rating points given or taken
I won a rapid game today where my opponent flagged and also one where I checkmated my opponent with 0.1 seconds left on my clock. That was more than enough chess for me in one day and I am rated 1200. Watching Eric flag his opponent with 0.09 seconds left on his clock and then he jumps straight into the next game and also berserks is just crazy. Heavy respect I don't think many people could do that.
I watched to the end. It's really neat to see aggressive chess on display, especially in openings I thought were slower. It helps me play more aggressive stuff and worry less about losing quickly.
Funny how he always joins late and still comes in top 5 while berserking almost every game and is disappointed in himself when he doesn't get first place. Complete Chad. He's as good as a gm in my opinion idk how he isn't a gm yet
Rarely comment but always watch your TH-cam vids. Appreciate your drive and passion with chess play. Have become a London fan and encourage many to explore the opening. 4th is still phenomenal considering the field and time
18:13 'There's a cool line. Takes, takes, Qf5, Kb8, takes. And then here, here, here Qf2 in the end. Rg1 and then Re1 I think is winning." I literally was just going to say that.
Brilliant Eric, I am learning so much from watching you play. Man your fast! I missed that trap in the London course! Thanks for the link in comments. Good luck in 21🫖 (edited)
Great videos, love your posts. You are a great teacher as well.. easy for a beginner to follow.. and thats very important. Some of the guys I try to watch on utube go way too fast for me to follow. Thanks
if you play it the right way it can be fun, but you really have to be careful - if you just play London main lines over and over then you'll probably get loads of boring games, where you don't learn sharp tactical play

How can you play chess if you are blind? Isn't chess a visual game?

"im still kind of shaking" *sips tea gently*
“Palms are sweaty, Moms Spaghetti”
57:41. Just when someone chimed in "The London is getting old, sorry", Eric showed the most brutal attack! Bravo...
Watched to the end, I watch most of your vids all the way since I found you. You have a great way of making your thought process accessible and your dry humour is the delicious meatball that spices it all up!
That "mom's spaghetti" was finesse
I love these videos with time stamped games. It’s like a box of chocolates where you can pick and choose or just eat the whole box.
Username checks out
Eric added another one for the compilations with "My time, Dah!"
What did Eric say when his girlfriend tripped? “Oh no, my queen!”
And then he moved on as if nothing happened
and then he won the love of other women
Hahahahahahahaha
Then he mate
Who did he pawn ?

57:55 That was very smooth Eric!
Really awesome to watch when he goes into lines he’s extremely prepared for. Just domination really isn’t it? Beautiful
When he checks w the pawn why not just ke7?
That dirty flag in the second game 😂
That was SO dirty
well he was winning before though
Literally the dirtiest
after the dirty queen win by his opponent this amount of dirt is ok imo
I had to take a shower after witnessing that. Of course I do it all the time in bullet tournaments 😁.
"My palms are sweaty, mom's spaghetti "
Lol
Huge respect after thay
Eric you should do a chessable course on the stafford gambit
He has like 3 or 4 videos on it, if you watch all of them it might as well be a full course
@@gabefernandez4207 I can never remember the lines I find chessable quite useful for lodging it in your memory
I can never have enough of stafford gambit content from this guy

Subscribed. Enjoy the free lessons bro

Same

Eric before 1st game: "No more slow, safe, classical chess"
Eric not more than a few minutes later: "Let's be safe, let's castle"
😂😂😂
That second flag around 55:00 was crazy!

After watching eric's game i am beating some grandmasters already.
Cool name.
Eric’s anxiety is so bad when in time scrambles I feel nervous just watching haha. But he does it for us, shout out Eric!
"Who'd you lose the tournament to?"
"Oh, just Wesley So."
Sometimes I play Rosen's videos in the background .. just like his calming voice.
57:15 "building a triangle...illuminati". You crack me up Eric!
Made it to the end. I really like your play and attitude. All the Best!
18:15 “ok we’re not going into that”

Ι made it to the end, your content is super entertaining Eric. In terms of content and relaxing atmosphere
12:50 eric i love u
So much stress when Eric is calmly explaining what he's thinking and the time is ticking down. It's like watching 24.
Watched it on TH-cam and enjoyed all of your antics as they are hilarious.
I enjoy watching these long tournament videos... Pls continue with the good content.
WOW, that flagging of your opponent at 12:07, incredible!

“Argh”! Volume level 2 to 3- “So much rage”!
Funny
36:47 Fork and a pin is a pork!
39:07 You get a 75% pawn cube! [or a pawn right angle triangle. ]
You've made pre-moving into an art form.
Funny how he always joins late and still comes in top 5 while berserking almost every game and is disappointed in himself when he doesn't get first place. Complete Chad. He's as good as a gm in my opinion idk how he isn't a gm yet
Second guy must’ve been so exited he was about to beat an IM and then he just got dirty flagged LMAO

I made it to the end Eric! I love your videos find you to be one of the most educational and informative chess streamers so thankyou for that :)
Eric "so much rage" Rosen
19:58 "I want to catch WESLEY. Ah he is so strong. SO so strong." *cheeky look on the chat* I see what you did there Eric!
moms spaghetti 12:49
Hell yeah I made it to the end. Dude you, hikaru and levy have been extremely fun to watch and very good teachers!
36:49 "it's a fork plus a pin so it's a pork" LMAO 🤣
25:21 Eric with 20sec opponent with a minute - probably playing this on time 😂
It's great how you can watch this all the way through and it doesn't feel like you sat through over an hour of chess!
So entertaining to watch this. Felt good to recognize the queen trap you were going for in that last game.
Thank you for your streams- they are quite illuminating and soothing at the same time. What program are you using to play online?
Li chess
eric: stafford is my favorite
me:okay eric that is little way too much
I legit landed on the thumbnail!😱
3:19 ~ me every time I try to play chess
Thank you Eric! Completed watching it, 4 50 am now !!
Congrats on 4th...start on time next time...good chess! You are so good with premoves! So quick, too!
Rarely comment but always watch your TH-cam vids. Appreciate your drive and passion with chess play. Have become a London fan and encourage many to explore the opening. 4th is still phenomenal considering the field and time
24:00 "So I'm just going into this hoping it's not too bad for me" is literally my rating
Mate, you are ruthless in tournament mode. I genuinely felt sorry for some of your opponents in this one! Well played 👍
i was getting nausea with hgow fast the moves you made was! i mean dude that was blazing fast.Keep up the good work!

Made it to the end. Always a chill learning experience watching your videos.
I watched till the end. Alas, the 'Rage' of one Eric Rosen is to be avoided at all cost.
Good stuff....watched the whole thing!!!
Brilliant Eric, I am learning so much from watching you play. Man your fast! I missed that trap in the London course! Thanks for the link in comments. Good luck in 21🫖 (edited)
you are absolutely a fantastic player Eric
I loved the dirty flag second game!
Watched the whole thing, in two sittings. The bishop attacks pon from the london opening. Wow.
Great finish Eric. Watched whole thing to the end on TH-cam. The for posting it.
Dirtiest flags I’ve seen in awhile brings a tear to my eye...🥲
Great videos, love your posts. You are a great teacher as well.. easy for a beginner to follow.. and thats very important. Some of the guys I try to watch on utube go way too fast for me to follow. Thanks

No amount of bleaching can clean that flag.
I really like the annotations in the video highlighting the opening :D
Great video, had no idea it was an hour until I finished the video hahaha
I always watch until the end. So much to learn!
“The whole idea is to… is to mate”
38:14
Yeeeep, just like every chess game 😅
That succession of moves at 45.34 was beautiful.
I watched to the end, and learned "dirty flag". Thank you. =)
Made it all the way to the end. Fantastic tournament! Let's gooo!
I made it this far, though I have finals coming up and you're making studying difficult!
Thanks for the timestamps!
“Palms are sweaty... moms spaghetti” lol 😂
Please do more of these!! I love watching the entire thing
Fun stuff. Yes, I watch all the way through and learned that fork and remove the defender. I'm sure I'll start noticing that now.
Love your content my dude, you seem like someone I have known my whole life,even though I don't know you irl
U can’t watch this man at night if ur tired. His voice is too soothing and will put u to sleep
That was a BRUTAL fork at 1:07:32 I felt that in my soul
Eric is like the anti-ChessBrah. Always super calm and level headed, never shows his inner rage.
44:33 You rlly faked me out for a sec
I've enjoyed watching this to the end :)
10:45 with 8.3 sec on the clock, he flagged the opponent with 57 second.
12:45
Damn I was just thinking how I wanted to learn the London but was worried it would be boring...
I felt the same about london system until I got more used to it. Now I find traps and tricks everywhere and my rating is going up 👍
if you play it the right way it can be fun, but you really have to be careful - if you just play London main lines over and over then you'll probably get loads of boring games, where you don't learn sharp tactical play
Fork + a Pin = A Pork. This is what I'm here for Eric.
