The chess is astounding as always, but I just had a moment where the title was perfectly cut off to say "SLAYING GRANDMA" and I'm not letting that observation go without telling anyone. Thank you Eric for the amazing video (and video title)!
His microphone or his voice perhaps. And that combined with the chess sounds somehow makes the perfect ASMR with there being no distracting background music either
Sargsyan refused to offer a draw in multiple drawn positions while being up considerable time and tried to flag instead, which made Eric's win even sweeter.
It's a veritable bloodbath. A Rosen vs. Goliath classic. My favorite was vs. alexrustemov, down on time and material and somehow you pulled it off. Well done.
Just the other day I was watching one of your Tilted Tuesday video and you were struggling a bit (which is perfectly normal and understandable, considering the terrifying competion) and I thought "how nice would it be if Eric uploaded one of these and opened it saying something like "one of my best Titled Tuesday". So... Eric Rosen, chessmaster, content creator and... mind reader, as well? :-) In all seriousness, thank you for the great content and keep up the good work man!
I get that a lot when I'm down on time or even just general: You have a basic plan based on the position and that can make you blind for the opponent's obvious blunders.
Eric, I think I know why many people love to watch you teach and compete and why many want to see you become a GM someday. It’s because of your genuine calm, kind, curious, and healthy mindset. I think many people recognize how powerful these traits can be, and they believe that one does not have to be aggressive, loud, or bombastic to chase true mastery of a game like chess. Add to that your persistence to play moves and openings for the sake of their fun, and your pure love for the game and love of learning through a growth and performance mindset can be bulletproof.
Shant Sargsyan being down a pawn in the ending but playing for a win felt a bit disrespectful, but I guess when you're 300 points higher, maybe it makes sense.
From a practical standpoint, if Rustemov had sacked his Queen for the Bishop, he would have probably won on time (I think). Because Rxb2, Rxf7 and even though white has a Queen for a rook and a knight, with only 5 seconds on the clock I am doubtful white is able to convert.
33:31 I expected Eric to play *34...Qd3,* getting his piece back and clearing the way for *...b1=Q.* I don't think that works because in the end White still has the a6-passer. However: what about *34...Ba6* ? This eliminates the a6-pawn and thus threatens to capture on d3. If *35.Ba6* b1=Q* and Black has a queen vs. two minor pieces.
9:15 I stuggle with the French A LOT playing chess, until i tryed to learn some nice trappy line against it, and i discovered the MILNER-BARRY GAMBIT!!! And actually i never lost again agaist the french (i'm not even kidding) it's so powerful! And even if your opponent knows all the theory you still end up with a nice attack! I suggest to everybody who struggles with the french to give it a try!
56:34 Eric considers ...Qd6, hanging the queen. Does not see the knight for TWENTY SECONDS and almost makes the move at 56:54. At this point I realized Eric must be very tired.
After *34...Qd3* the piece count is even. If then *35.Nd3 b1=Q 36.Qd8+ Kg7 37.Qc8 Qd3* the piece count is once again even. So I don't think the problem is that Black is down a piece: I think the problem is that, even after Black re-establishes material parity, White still has an unstoppable passer on a6. This, I believe, is why the queen sac line doesn't work. Good try though!
1:12:15 maybe the back end keeps track of time to the 1000ths or more but the front end only displays to the 10ths So for example you could have got down to 0.001s and got returned to 1.001s but it was displayed as 1.0s
@@rohitranjan2767 i wouldn't go that far. It's easy to miss simple tactics in a time scramble; looks silly as a spectator, but harder to catch in the heat of the moment.

For me it was grandmas, plural! It gets me every time
just like yugioh, a boardgame is capable of sending your granma to the hospital
Rustemov game was very impressive. Tal would be proud.
Time stamp?
Yes, but Eric could have played the Qh6 / Ng5 idea earlier without g4, I think
@@turboblitz69589:00
Caught this live, but enjoyed the Rustemov game just as much the second time around, a beautiful attack
I know very little about chess but Eric has a voice and vocabulary that makes you want to listen forever.
Dalton ,, yes he speaks calmly and clearly and uses good vocab
@@clintoruss153 yea he speaks calmly with nice vocabulary
I wish I could pin down what it is that makes watching Eric such an enjoyable and calming experience. Anyway - thank you, Eric.

@@MrBaumGeo definitely those factors but we also have to give him credit as a broadcaster. Charming with a quick dry wit
He's easy to root for! Always humble and eager to learn (win or lose). Also, his love for the game is so obvious and so infectious. :)
I like how he kept trying The Rosen Trap, but everyone knows who they're playing 😂😂
Very impressive that you were able to win that Sargsyan game down 1:30-0:15 in a drawn position!
Sargsyan refused to offer a draw in multiple drawn positions while being up considerable time and tried to flag instead, which made Eric's win even sweeter.
Twitch chat is enjoyable when I'm there, but the games hit differently when you watch them on TH-cam. That was such a fun stream!

I AM Eric Rosen sounds so cool. We will find a way to make GM Eric Rosen sound even cooler. Lets go! Sirens are ringing, but not for you!
Surely RC7 at 53:25 wins on the spot?
I get that a lot when I'm down on time or even just general: You have a basic plan based on the position and that can make you blind for the opponent's obvious blunders.
When my phone connected to my car, the radio showed "SLAYING GRANDMAS" by Eric Rosen and I freaked out for a moment
The tab in my browser was squished, so I thought "SLAYING GRANDMAS" was the title.
IM not a GM... but still beats them...
First game also resembles the Noa variation of the Classical Nimzo. A very sharp, dynamic line.
Haven't started yet but your face already makes me smile lol
34:24 The rosen trap fail, in action.
Stacked lineup, and he STILL takes time to
talk (!!) --- unique and techniqued ....
o, z Pokochajkiem gra! ;)
at 53:25 there was rc7
Eric was so intent on showing us the Lucena position that he decided to eshew quick victories :)
Looking forward to the course!
Funny how your heart rate goes higher when you analyse your blunders than when you play :D
I really love the aggressive look of the thumbnail of this video 😅

Rustemov got greedy and got rolled 😂
The pressure you exerted on sargsyan under time pressure was crazy
90 HR from the 1st game... were you so hyped up or something else stressed you? :D
33:31 I expected Eric to play *34...Qd3,* getting his piece back and clearing the way for *...b1=Q.* I don't think that works because in the end White still has the a6-passer.

47:30 "I am threatening to take take take take, and then take take take" which sounds pretty manacing if we want to be honest.
Eric at 33:28, why couldn't you sac the queen for the bishop and then promote the pawn next move? Sorry if I'm missing something.
Still down a piece
After *34...Qd3* the piece count is even. If then *35.Nd3 b1=Q 36.Qd8+ Kg7 37.Qc8 Qd3* the piece count is once again even. So I don't think the problem is that Black is down a piece: I think the problem is that, even after Black re-establishes material parity, White still has an unstoppable passer on a6. This, I believe, is why the queen sac line doesn't work. Good try though!
@Saint Dufus yeah after rewatching that makes sense. Thank you!
1:12:15 maybe the back end keeps track of time to the 1000ths or more but the front end only displays to the 10ths
So for example you could have got down to 0.001s and got returned to 1.001s but it was displayed as 1.0s
Speaking of 1.d4, would you recommend 1…e6 with ideas of transposing to the French? I’m having trouble defending that opening move as black.
I can't help feeling the title and poster for the video are a bit misleading...
1:27:03 "Or maybe I just weather the storm". That's funny considering he's playing cathulu!
Cant comprehend whats happening with your arm in the thumbnail.
so glad he still won the game here bc he missed the free rook at 53:25
Ya this was so painful to watch..im vs gm and such silly mistakes
@@rohitranjan2767 i wouldn't go that far. It's easy to miss simple tactics in a time scramble; looks silly as a spectator, but harder to catch in the heat of the moment.
Eric is love ❤
I went to school with GM Holt. Kid was considered a genius by mostly everyone.
34:26 always makes me laugh hahaha
wow incredible second game
Eric can you play the Jerome against Magnus?
ERIC !! I AM 1400 !!!!!! Its my peak elo ! :D (blitz)
@53:25 - wouldn't Rc7 win on the spot?
Good tournament mate!
i am interested to slay also but I can't
What level is your course going to be geared for?
Awesome stuff. Very well done. I love your cadence and composure even when under the weather.
I saw 99 comments so i turned it to 100 😂😂
Oh my gosh,you beat a lot of high rated peoples,
Ever done an official IQ test Eric?
Sargsyan game was my favourite! Nice one Eric.
53:25 is that not just a free rook
You should make a video analysing game 2 on lichess.
Hey Eric, where can I access the courses that you make?
53:25 Could've won the rook
58.30 qd4+ then nd2 maybe nice!
1:29:11 first blood in move 19!!
You have too much ads on your videos
34:24 Rosen trap declined ;-)
Still waiting for the day eric will win Titled Tuesday
He already has :) but he never mentions it.
Hansen has gotten close a few times.
Just in time. Time to sleep to this
53:25 why not rc7?
2nd game blown away - awesome Eric
That game against Rustemov. Wow!
53:25 - why not rook C7 ?
53:25 rook c7 wins a rook?
Eric =☆GM Slayer☆= Rosen
That second game was fire.
Svaka cast beca95 👌🏻💪🏼
Gratz on such a great titled tuesday Eric!
58:26 is the pawn not just hanging?
such a throwaway
great game with Rustamov!!!
You are a GM
Good luck
Excited for the d4 course!!
haha love the thumbnail😂
Rosen, you are a legend man!
You slay, Eric!
yes eric slay
Go Eric!
First
22:42 wondering if you can play Nd5 to threaten the fork and win material in the end eventually or just equalize and not lose the exchange
Nd5 Bxc1, Ne7+ Kh8, Nxc8 Bg5 and the knight is trapped
A tournament having the lights of Magnus, Fabi, Hikaru, and Alireza should be a fantastic achievement. 🎉
53:25 Rc7 is an easily winning skewer, right?
I noticed a cool move during your game with Rustemov! 25. Rxc6! Incredible play and nice mate at the end :)
