Hi, Eric! Nice recap of the game vs my sister. I have to say you played very well and deserved to hold a draw. Painful blunder in the end but hope you will recover soon. Wish you good luck in the remaining games!
I played chess in high school in the 1970's, the chess club was just started in those days in Indiana, we had one girl on the club, and she was a valendictorian too. I do not ever remember ever losing to her as I recall. IT SUCKS LOSING TO A FEMALE CHESS PLAYER OF ANY AGE. IT'S A GUY THING THAT GIRLS DO NOT UNDERSTAND. And I do not believe that any girl could, except maybe Judit Pulgar of course, if you know what I mean.
@@capasapa1980 Of course, I'm just being silly. Though, in reality, you can't get time back. To each their own. Listen the way that gets you the most for your time.
When you know there's only one winning move, you can see Ra3. But those only drawing moves are the hardest ones to find. Great, instructive video, Eric!
Her move g4 was really informative. It didn't look like there was anything in the position before that, and then suddenly there were multiple weaknesses to exploit and to have to protect.
This is a brilliant end game! Thanks for sharing this, Eric. You played REALLY well! It takes a different kind of player to own up to blunders and gracefully talk about them in a video like this. More power to you! And best of luck for the next games :)
You've set the bar for other commentators. They need to be willing to show their losing games as well as their winning games. What an incredibly instructive video! Carlson and others are definitely showing how superior endgame knowledge distinguishes top players from the pack.
Awesome stuff Eric. These are super tough games, and take its toll. We all really appreciate you recapping them for us all. Love your work. Win, lose or draw it’s always super enjoyable and educational watching you brother 👍
Sincerely hope I get more recaps like this; you should definitely play (when you can) a few classical tournaments. It's a joy to see these and are instructive and supportive to weaker players who, experience all too frequently, the failure of analyzing a game and realizing how poorly one played, but also the joy of learning from improvements and moments. Just wonderfully awesome!
You have my respect, sir. Few people are able to hold up their errors in public and use them as teaching examples. But you also have my respect for being a very strong player.
Fantastic video, and fantastic series. Always appreciate you taking the time to recap these videos after probably mentally exhausting yourself playing chess.
I saw the Rh4 idea instead of getting the King closer and was feeling great when Eric played it. I was silently self congratulating. But that turned out to be the blunder move that loses the game! Oh dear!
This was a heck of a game and a pretty tough game for Eric Rosen to lose after putting up such strong resistance against a much stronger player. As the saying goes, "so near and yet so far." I don't guess it seems like much compensation for Eric, but this game did give him the chance to show his considerable teaching abilities in the post mortem. And for his demonstration of those teaching abilities here he deserves high praise. Also as we saw, Eric was well prepared. After all it isn't every day that one can make a Grandmaster think for five or six minutes on move 4! Mariya Muzychuk played very accurately. Her play was outstanding in every respect, the mark of a very strong Grandmaster, even if not a so called "super GM" a status I suppose is reserved only for 2600+ FIDE rated Grandmasters. Lastly, in addition to everything Eric Rosen explained here, possibly also painful for him was the fact that unlike the game position, sometimes king, rook, f-pawn, and h-pawn can only draw against king and rook. Clearly however this king, rook, f-pawn, and h-pawn against king and rook endgame was not one of those two pawns down rook and pawn endgames that are in fact drawn positions.
Fantastic game! Sorry you feel defeated, but honestly your loss probably taught 50,000 people a life lesson (1 being you :) Plus not like you got beat by a 1,200 lol. Wonderful videos, rest well brother. Thanks for the really high quality videos!
20:23 I thought Ra1 with the same idea to come behind the pawn with Rh1. It's a good example of the Tarrasch rule: "your rook belongs behind the passed pawn, no matter if it's your pawn or your opponents pawn."
Only two chess players I would like to meet in real life. I don't understand chess enough to have interesting conversation about chess but would love to meet Peter Svidler cos we can discuss cricket at any level and Eric just because he is probably the nicest person to pick up a chess piece...
You are one of the most respect inducing player I know. Chess is tough. Don't let the result disappoint you too much, it took most of us a while to see the move and appreciate its power. My point is, your chess is much better than a lot of your viewers', and to most of us, it is simply fantastic. It is humbling to see such great play explained by such a great player, and against GM Mariya Muzychuk of all people. If it wasn't for GM Pia Cramling, she'd be the captain of the female team.
Bro, phenomenal analysis! You caught my interest with that 3rd move order but from the looks of it its easier to play as white. Thanks for testing out this opening for us! Cheers!
Very good game, Eric, and great idea to try to take her out of her wheelhouse in the opening. She really is an amazing player and you played well. Keep 'em coming.
I was watching this game live on Lichess with the engine analysis going. It was very close to a draw until the position at 25:52, where you missed the move Ke6. As soon as you missed that move, the engine immediately changed the score to +50 or so, for white. Too bad, as it looks like you played another near-perfect game up to that point. Great recap, as always. I can't think of another chess streamer (or TH-cam-er) whose analyses are so enjoyable and easy to understand. And, congratulations on your progress so far in this tournament. Let's go, men's team!
love the instructive videos Eric ..much more informative than watching you bullet where I have to play the video in 1/10th speed just to keep up....and even then......lost like a puppy.....my pause and play buttons on my remote are worn out due to you
I’ve known about this channel for a few years but haven’t really checked it out until recently and I gotta say that I wish I dropped by a lot earlier. I now bestow upon you a subscribe and turning on notifications, keep up the good work 🤝
If it's any consolation, a brilliant player had to find a brilliant move in order to beat you. (Probably more accurate to say: several brilliant moves.) I watched this video right after watching Matthew Sadler's analysis of the 1936 Capablanca-Ragozin endgame, and it's another reminder of how fascinating and complex these rook-and-pawn endgames can be.
These recaps are really helping my chess, clear explanations and just the right amount of sideline analysis. I didn't find her brilliant move (incredible move), but at least found the stalemate :)
5:40 yes, after Re8 there is a fork on c2, but then you can just take the bishop and if knight takes either rook, you will have traded your rook for 2 pieces which tends to be better. What am I missing?
@@invisible4ever but if Bishop takes the knight, you take back with the pawn and open up an attack on white's queen so White can't fork there without losing a full queen, but I think I already got it. After the knight takes the rook on a8 and rook takes back, the queen infiltrates on e7 which is very bad for black.
I like your outlook on this tuff loss. When I watch Gotham recaps. He's so pessimistic and I always feel like he gives up too early too. You at least tried and see this as an opportunity for improvement. My buddy is a outstanding golfer holds course records all over the state. I asked him what's the difference between him and others. Two things when he hits the ball he's not trying to get close to the hole he's trying to make it. And most of all evert part of the game is important most ppl work on there drives if anything the short game is the most important or the end game
@@jedinxf7 i mean it is too ambitious to play stafford against a former womens world champion but i had never seen him play sicillian before so i was surprised
I think move 18 was the problem. I preferred the pawn rook fork. I SF'd which led to a draw. However, I do applaud your attacking instincts. Great content, keep it up.

Love the way Eric is able to play both sides of the board. Truly is the people's favorite. If there was an award for character, he'd win it.
Eric thank you for the content, I enjoy watching your videos especially this week while I sit at home with Covid!
Best of luck for the rest of the tournament
This recap is so informative. Thank you! You worked so hard to keep the game balanced and it almost worked.

Thanks, Eric, for this analysis. Endgames are the weekest part of my amateur game and this was so instructive.
Thanks for sharing your very instructive thoughts (and feelings) in this game.
Excellent commentary: thank you very much, Eric.
You're an inspiration!! I always wait for your videos and I watch them to the end. I always learn something!
I like how you answer the questions you think people will have. "The reason why I didn't do X is because after A B C, then D and them I'd be worse"
Fantastic video, and fantastic series. Always appreciate you taking the time to recap these videos after probably mentally exhausting yourself playing chess.
Eric, come back! I want to see your recaps for the remainder of the tournament! :)
These games have all been fantastic to watch through. Top work for still showing the analysis, even with those heartbreaking moments!

A terrific game; really enjoyed watching it and your post game analysis. Really sorry you lost; but to a strong GM….not such a bad days work.
Don't be heartbroken over this, but rather grateful, this is a very instructive game about how one can really take the edge in the endgame!
that king wanted to help out so badly, he broke the browser neo-style
Interesting if white pawn had been on the Seventh Rank (h7 at 19:09) it would have been a draw. very tricky calculating bc it's deceptively simple
when will be the recap for GM Pia Cramling?

Wow, that rook move was devastating.
Do you have videos that explain which each opening is? And breaking down “openings” “mid game” and “end game”
Mariya really put on an endgame clinic. Very well played
Where is Eric? I miss his videos
Maria 'Miss Tactics' Muzychuk strikes first! It is awesome when two strong tactical players unleash their tactic visions in the game.
22:21 lmao, can't take that move seriously ever again
Thats why she GM and Levi no!
The endgame is the most underrated area of chess study by far.
Yeah, I learned something. Never ever behave too confident. Crazy, what a difference between an IM and a GM lays within.
Hi eric! You’re my inspiration to play chess
You are excellent! thanks for sharing!
So gracious in defeat. Well done Eric!
Nice title choice, Eric
Thanks Eric! You’re so nice!

@24:58 why can't the black rook take the pawn?
you win the pawn but its still a losing endgame for black
What a great game. That’s heart breaking
Great video! I loved it! Very instructive! 💣🔥💯❤
Extremely instructive game, and great endgame lesson (even if it was at your expense)
Really shows that when players are both very good, it's the endgame that proves the better. Great game anyway, good luck next game!
