Skillshare time ;)

Get that bag, Eric
Ads here too? Unsubscribe.
@@AKuTepion he's a content creator, and skill share is a great thing too, so why punish him promoting skillshare? It's not like any other useless online game
Eric is now a full-fledged graduate of Stafford University. The diploma *must* be accepted.
lmaooo
Honestly, he's already earned tenure
I thought he was the president of Stafford University.
Stafford University 🌲
Spend a ay with the computer on it and you will be to.
I like how Eric is reading the script when he was talking about Skillshare
You also just watched a great lecture completely free of charge so maybe cut him some slack.
Eric is simply sharing his skill... for reading aloud.
Dirty
@Kuzka I don't have a problem lol
Bro isn't this the first ever sponsor of eric rosen
I'm so happy for ya
The video when he explains the stafford is also sponsored (i have nothing against that)
He's sponsored by Audible as well.
Dubov basically plays whatever opening and does crap with such creativity that is brilliant lol
The most un-Russian Russian GM
@@ZenPossum russian GMs are usuallt reslly rigid and not magicians?
Even his name sounds like dubious
@@RahulSingh-zo7sm, du(oo)b is an oak in Russian. He is Oakov basically. Dubious enough.
It's so tempting to think of Dubov as a crummy player, in my hhead, because the only times I've seen him play were against Magnus Carlson and struggling (obviously). But this game just illustrated to me very starkly how brilliant of a player he is when he's up against anyone not the #1 player in the world.
Dubov’s coolness rating before this game: 9/10
Dubov’s coolness rating after this game: 1000/10
And here I was thinking it was over 9000. My calibrations must be off.
@@andrewkandasamy it’d only be over 9000/10 if Dubov played it against Magnus. Who knows, maybe he’ll do it one day!
Your starting rating is well off here
@@benhayes8249 for a super GM who can do one arm pull-ups IRL, for sure.
Dubov was always a cool GM
When you're so afraid of the Stafford gambit that you transpose into the french exchange
French exchange with 2 tempi down!!
@@ಭಾರತೀಯ_ನಾಗರಿಕ 1 tempo down, white begins the game up a tempo, losing 2 tempi leads to black being up 1 tempo
@@thebishopchess It's still white being 2 tempi down compared to French exchange, white should be up 1 tempo but is down 1, therefore white is down 2...
@@thebishopchess white going first doesn't count when people say up a tempo in the opening lmao, it's just the normal amount of tempo in opening theory
@@ಭಾರತೀಯ_ನಾಗರಿಕ ah, thanks for the explanation
This guy is so wholesome i cant even skip the part he talks about the sponsor -_-
Would love to see a conversation with Eric Rosen and Anish Giri, Eric speaks at -2.5 speed and Anish at +2.5 speed.
It would be like a conversation between Flash Slothmore and Judy Hopps.
at 18:23 I was wondering why white couldn't play knight b3 to defend the rook, and the reason is black can take the knight with the pawn, give up the exchange with Rxa8, but then after b2 there's no way to prevent promotion. Very cool.
*Edit b2, thanks for pointing out
I didn't even see that move, thank you for pointing that out
B7?
B2,
He meant b2
Came looking for this, very nice idea!
I love Dubov's tactics. Poisoned pawns everywhere. Over and over he turns his opponents attack into an attack of his own.
This is why Dubov is the greatest of all time
Lol and magnus is lol player?
ok
I love Dubov. Like everybody else, really :D
@@DracoVolantus in terms of style and aesthetic, dubov is far more consistent and creative. don't get me wrong, magnus is impressive, especially in his endgames. but players like dubov are the ones that make chess art.
@@DracoVolantus Magnus plays league of legends? 😳
So great to see Eric growing and getting sponsored !
I always love watching the Stafford Gambit, and this game was a lot of fun to watch. I also appreciate you showing the tactics that a Grandmaster wouldn't fall for, and why. You did a really great job with the commentary.
The title of the video should be How Dubov Beat Hou Yifan with the Exchange French
Now we know Dubov watches Eric Rosen's videos
Dubov watches Adagmator as well, he watches lots of youtube chess content.
"How many TH-cam channels do you wanna sponsor?"
Skillshare:
"Yes."
Manscaped is worse
I actually like that since these sponsers give your favorite content creaters a nice boost to make better content
You again....salute for you legend!
So here's the deal,evertime i see you i will always coment
In a 15 minute game, Dubov ended with around with just shy of 9 minutes while Yifan who is mid 2600's nearly flagged. Goddamn Dubov is strong.
Eric this content is phenomenal. I think we can all agree that you should keep game analysis videos coming.
when chess get's dubious
you know its dubov
as agadmator once said, there are dubious moves and then there are Dubovious moves
Danil Dubious Dubov the Great!
Today a boy with white played me the Stafford Gambit. I accepted it, it was the first time that I was going to face the Stafford Gambit. I was really excited and excited.
I was thinking about how to defend him ... I thought about a move for a while, and the opponent abandoned ... What a disappointment. It was my first time.
cool
That's actually part of the Stafford Gambit -- when your opponent realizes he's about to become a victim of the gambit, he may just decide to resign in disgust instead of being checkmated in disgrace.
I mean you will have other chances. You can make a computer setup in that position with your rating.
Just be happy that you got a free win.
This is why Dubov is the Mozart of chess
Very happy to see my favorite creators receive sponsorships, keep up the great work Eric!
Hey Eric!! Congrats on getting sponsored💯
Lesson learned: Always accept the stafford gambit
Gerald Abrahams in his book "Technique in Chess" mentioned a bit of doggerel verse, as he called it, that I still remember about 45 years later: "Put your rook on the line of his queen, no matter how many other pieces intervene."
These are my favorite videos from you, Eric! You’re such a great teacher. Thank you!
Dubov is so creative he can play any opening and get a decent or winning position in the end
True.
I really enjoyed this kind of breakdown. Showing the other lines and going in depth on what the advantage was really helped me understand. If this was an experimental video format I'm all for more videos of this nature. Thanks Eric.
"The only way to punish a gambit is to accept it!" - cool!
Haven’t watched yet but I already know this will be another great video Eric
Started with Stafford Gambit ended with Fork.
"you aren't the most prepared!" - Dubov
in two years most important positional ideas in chess would be pawn cube and connect four.
Well done on getting the sponsor!
Thanks to Eric for curing my insomnia with his soothing and calm voice
Dubov played this ridiculously good
Eric rosen *enters living room*
All the other gambits except stafford: This, is an intervention
Dubov is probably the most entertaining super GM, apparat from Magnus because he wins the must, but Dubov entertains even loosing. The Stanfford is just an example of Dubov’s greatness.
is this the first time Eric got sponsored?
Not exactly, he's been sponsored quite a few times.
@@mistlistel6433 oh
Oh no you’re wrong!! ;) I am big big fan of him (seen all videos) didn’t see him paid for sponsoring…Tho he does unpaid promotion of coffee..lol
He's done audible before
@@anshulraman404 he has been sponsored by skillshare and audible in the past
Really entertaining and educational, excellent video!
This is such a Dubov game.
I've been excited for this video since I heard about Dubov playing this game. Thanks Eric!! :D
Skillshare is like Google adsense now sponsoring every video
Hallelujah! Finally someone that is not a beginner that plays the Stafford!
Now the Stafford Gambit is objectively Dubovious.
When you checkmate world champion Magnus, you are not sus
Eric: I'll see you in the next video.
Me: Wait... who's watching whom here? [pulls tin-foil hat down tighter]
During the commentary, in my head …
“Zis allowz rook to a8”
“Sanks for ze game!”
😊
Another reason to love Dubov
Plot twist: Hou has a crush on Dubov and couldn't think properly in the opening
Everyone has a crush on Dubov
@@matthies8431 Well, you're not wrong.
Others: I want to study at Stanford
Eric: I want to study at Stafford
Love the way you explain all the bad things that would happen if they made the moves I would have made.
Love to see Dubov
Eric "Stafford Gambit Salesman" Rosen
Dubov is so incredible to watch
video title: dubov used the stafford gambit
video itself: this is where hou yifan actually just played the petrov
Excellent commentary. Thanks Eric :)
Its nice to see you getting sponsors
It is exactly the french exchange variation with colors swapped.
I've come to the conclusion that e5 exposes the Stafford pretty well. Inspired by that OTB game you played with the Russian fellow
What an instructional video, dubov really played chess by the book here…and eric had a great commentary, both masters
Hell of a recap very informational good job eric
According to the computer( LC0) , white is just fine and evaluation is very close to 0 (0.0x) until move 11. At move 12 white should go aggressively for c5 and the eval jumps to 0.36 for white
Actually white was just fine (also a bit passive) until move 35, 36. Bd4 was probably the turning point
ok dubov is 🐐
I don't fear any man. But that thing... (Eric Rosen's Stafford)
It scares me.
I am so happy for eric....he get a sponsor finally..💟
The ending was one long chain of "No U"
Welcome to the Stafford Gambit Declined, Reversed French Exchange variation
I believe Yifan prepared for the reversed Grob but Dubov throw her off by playing Stafford. XD
Hey Eric, you are the most cool international super master i know.
Beautiful! Thx Eric
wow I just woke up and wondered why no one plays the stafford in serious tournaments and now this I'd happening
Danil Dubov just subscribed to your channel *2 weeks later* Eric makes a video
Больше Дубова 🥰🔥 More Dubov please
Gigabyte Dubov cannot be stopped
The loss of tempo for white basically means that after move 4, black can play as if they are white, and white must play as if they are black
In 19:44 isn't Bd4 the move for white? That escapes the bishop while defending the square of black's fork threat.
He didnt link the Jonathan Schrantz video sadpepega
Oh no my exposure!
On 18:25, isn't the move knight b3 not going to lose material? If black's pawn takes the knight then white can take black's rook for free. If black takes white's rook, then the knight can just escape the pawn threat while taking back. Black's rook wasn't supported anyway, so wasn't it safe for white to play Kb3?
The fact that dubov has 10min in the game is insane
Outside of Magnus, Dubov is my favorite player right now.
Daniil Dubious
FYI Hou Yifan's last name is pronounced with a long o "hoe" (like oh low flow blow not like how now cow).
Eric finally got a sponsor
You should cover more games! I enjoyed this!
Me: Inspired by the video and played stanford gambit
15 mins later: I search on youtube How not to lose in 10 moves with stanford gambit
Great commentary and explanations. More please
18:26 Can't white play Nb3 with a discovered attack on black's rook while also defending the white rook?
Probably rg8
Great stuff Eric
Find someone who look at you the same way Eric look at the Stafford Gambit
I'm pretty sure Hou Yifan's family name is pronounced "hoe," rhyming with Zhou Qiyu's name
wow dubov actually is a eric fans
You are really talented (surely among other things) at teaching and explaining
that was a surprisingly educational game with good commentary
09:11 Was interesting (but dubious) Nxf2, followed by Nc2
Congrats Eric.
First stafford gambit irl is a win, Eric Rosen gets sponsored in the same video. Coincidence? I think not
I didn't know Dubov is a fan of Eric Rosen
I learned about tempo and initative today. thank you.
