In this Beginner to Master Speedrun Series, I try to climb the rating ladder while providing lots of lessons about chess along the way. In this episode, I play 3 highly instructive chess games that feature some nice sacrifices.

#chess #ericrosen - Hry
Getting mated after investing no more than 30 seconds of your time shows a clear path to improving.
10:44 "that’s a little bit too exotic for my liking". You know a plan is dubious if even Rosen finds it too spicy.
hehehe "dubious" total Rosen terminology
It’s really looking like you’ll make it all the way to 2000 without a single loss. Really puts into perspective the skill gap between a master and these more advanced players
And not even a single draw…
True but most of the games are now very competitive and the only difference in a number of them have been Rosen's ability to handle severe time pressure.
yeah also he made some mistakes just opponents missing to punish him
@@danielward7008yeah but he’s only really in time pressure from explaining concepts and playing in more safe style as opposed to his more aggressive style . he could straight up blitz these players if he wants
Dont speak too soon, hes had some extremely close calls even in some lower level games. Agreed that its extremely impressive
So a nearly 1800 rated player, blunders mate with 9m30s remaining in a 10 min game!
You underestimate the pressure of a grandmaster
@@jamesmclanders9875who's the grandmaster
@@jamesmclanders9875 ehhhh, firstly it's a speedrun account, so they don't know who it is, they just think its a 1700 player. And secondly, (as good as he is) Eric is an IM, not a GM
This one was much anticipated! Funny how I felt relieved this video there was no nail biting. Looks like your more advanced openings will lead to some quicker wins for awhile! So fun to project onto my big screen and watch your games. Best chess content available and what a nice guy!
38:45 If you accidentally click the scroll wheel (not scroll it, but actually press it like a button) on the wrong spot of a pane of the browser, you might lock the resizing. Should be able to unlock by clicking the scroll wheel again.
That last game was great for me because I play the Botvinnik System A LOT... and never knew it is a Sicillian Dragon reversed. You played thru positions I've seen colors reversed many times before and it was pleasant to see many of my positional choices validated by you. That attack at the end was was a very trypical Botvinnik system Kingside attack. But that beautiful simple h5 that let you activate the darksquares Bishop into the attack... that's the move I want to find when I play my games.
Spoiler block.
I hope you run into Tyler1 😅
that'll be epic!
We were promised the Bob Ross of chess and got the Darth Vader of chess 😭
Darth Ross. Oh no my Jedi knight!
@@davidanderson_surrey_bcunderrated comment lol
All hail the dark lord of killstreaks
38:33 rook takes knight on f3 was an amazing move ;) congrats , well played
Glad to see you not retired
Episode 47, finally! This is my favorite content right now.
Thanks for the new upload.
These speedruns are my favorite.
So much to learn from this series. Thanks for sharing.
Best content on youtube. Maybe a poll about what your rating will be when someone ends your streak?
assumes the streak will end
Great comment! "Inviting all your friends to the birthday party. Everyone is having a good time"!! Thanks for the great laugh!!
This was definitely the quote of the video for me too!
reminds me of the game I played earlier.. it was my opponent's birthday.
yeah absolutely hilarious... was rolling on the floor i couldnt contain myself
sounds like Eric's been watching Alex Banzea videos lol
47:01 🎵Everybody's going to the party
Have a real good time
Dancin' in the desert
Blowin' up the sunshine🎵
Was so happy to see this vid, thx Eric!
Thanks for another episode Eric. Loving the content!
Rosen these videos are awesome keep it up
THIS HAS BEEN SO FUN AND FASCINATING, ERIC, YOU DO SPEED RUNS BETTER THAN OTHER CREATORS BY FAR, THANK YOU SIR, LOVING IT!!
You're my favorite chess streamer and I have so much euphoria whenever I get a notification you've posted new content. Thank you 💜
6:43 when you hang your king, look for a better move
I think he meant after Bd2 and exd4 then Nd5. But it confused me too for a minute
@@joostvanrens ahhhh i see now
Great video. Thanks Eric
3:03 You talked about Bxd4 Rd4, and I, as a 1400 player, immediately thought of e5 and discarded that. Lesson is always try to look further.
thank you for sharing these. so informative and i love a strong powerful pawn~! they always have hopes of becoming a queen~!
The first game is a good example of how an online player can get to nearly 1800 without thinking. Just play quick, provocative moves and assume your opponent will miss any winning chances. And, Checkmate is not a thing!
These speedrun videos are so good
Thanks Eric!
Another speed run!!!! Hooray, my day is good
it keeps baffling me that an almost 1800 doesn't see the check mate coming in your first game
Eric Rosen, Thank you for teaching me the purpose of moves in chess
42:18 if Kh1, could you not force mate with Qxe4+? Only legal moves would be Rf3, which just temporarily blocks the queen, and Qg2, which results in Qxg2#.
Fourth time trying to watch this. Seeing you play makes me want to play
This is my favourite chess content on CZcams right now. Last game .. Rxf3 instead of .. BXh3 makes the difference between an intermediate player and a master with so little time to think. In a classical game I would probably find the white response qf2 after … BXh3
You mentioned in a past video that you used to play the Moeller attack when you were younger. As a player of the opening myself, I’m curious about why you stopped? I’ve been curious about switching to the quieter game/d3 Italian, but not sure why one would make the change.
Probably depends on your level. My rule of thumb is to ask myself "Have I gotten a worse position out of the opening in the last 10 games at this rating level?" If the answer is no, I usually carry on. The only reason to change is 1. Getting worse positions consistently 2. Getting bored, less thrill from opening 3. Broadening your horizons (types of positions, playstyle). I played the Scotch Gambit for a long time, still do, but eventually I took up the more solid (and still wacky) Italian Game knight attack as an alternative.
Another speedrun. Oh no my morning!
Really liked the first game. I'm pretty low ranked ELO but manage to follow all the tactics.
Eric, I love the series. For the first time in the whole series, you did something "at a master level" without me quite understanding the theory behind it...Rf8 x Kf3 in the last game... Just wondering what exactly went on in your head to trigger that "intuition" since you've explained every move logically in the series thus far. I would never have thought about that and it seemed risky.
Hi Eric! Another great episode.
Have you ever encountered/studied the Bellon Gambit? I stumbled upon it while looking for common inaccuracies from Black to punish in the English - computer likes white but it does not look easy to play!
You could ask Anna Cramling to make a video on it if she hasn't already. Certainly some of her videos already feature the player who discovered the gambit.
Great games
My favorite series on yt is back!! I do have a question this time: the opponent had c7 in the end, but why can't you take the pawn with the queen? And play Ba6 after?
Eric for President
Very curious if I could have done any better...in game 2...at 12:08 b6 weakened the pawns and you could have attacked immediately with Be3. The pawn was pinned on a7 and thus the b6 pawn was dead. It could not move or it would create a double kill on a7 and it was not protected. If the rook moved then a7 fell.
But ...Bb7 protects the R, so unpins the a-Pawn, and what has White gained?
I think that Rxf3 in the last game is the first time this speedrun Eric's play cannot be seen as just a "lucky beginner" from his opponent's point of view.
Nice a long video! 🤟🤟🤟🤟
Great games Eric! Also, your third game timestamp is a little bit off 😄
Yey! Finally!
love seeing Eric unretired from chess
Thats a gross winning streak!
32:00 looks like Mr. Beast. Protect the king and keep it :D
I have official retired from my dream i never had of becoming a grandmaster
That checkmate in game 1 is some 800 level blindness from the opponent.
You say that but it was an impressive tactical blow by Rosen. An 800 wouldn't have found it.
rosen chess is good
12:16 What about Be3, attacking the pawn on b6?
In the last game the guy left his rook and knight undeveloped and that doomed him. When he moved his queen on to the square his knight needed to develop he was nearing catastrophe. The next pawn move was the straw....Had he used his knight to attack your pawns and gotten his rook off of the diagonal of your black bishop he would have had a fighting chance.
"I just won connect 5". Awesome
20:30 I think it would make more sense to take with the knight here so you’re up the exchange.
That runs into pawn takes Bishop b4 with an attack on the other rook. You have to create a threat to keep the initiative.
Fully into Eric Rosen chess again - I don’t know why but I’m loving this series
Too bad there wasn't a heart rate monitor for getting the UI stuck.
I hope you never lose.
I think in game 1 7. D5 would’ve been good no? Because if cxd5 8. exd5 black doesn’t have time to play e5 because you would be threatening checkmate with qxf7.
22:31 Why not Nf7 fork pawn and king?
At 12:08 how does black defend the pawn after Be3?
Ah wait just Bb7, I thought I found some tricks lol
Oh no, my sleep!
lets goooooo \O/
17:47 imma play bishop e2
The bookmarks are a bit off on this video, especially for the last game.
Game one, Magnus calls it the Norwegian rat?
I think you clicked the mouse wheel by accident there.
Lesssgoooo
12:57 Why not Kxh5?
Oh no! My work!
My noob mind can't comprehend why black doesn't just take the bloody pawn at 08:57 and just takes the rook afterwards xD
Bd2 would block the check and defend the rook with the queen -- it's discovered defense!
@@eric-rosen yep, then the queen would have to move and the pawn would take the knight
22:13 I think ya missed mate in 2
I thought you retired from chess! Lol
The winning streak goes on❤️♟️
How the frock does a 1700+ play a game like the 1st one... I never run into such an easy win at 1500+.
Yes you do, you just aren't good enough to punish them.
Everyone has a brain fart now and then.
Idk what is happening to me, i gained 150+ elo in like 2-3 days.
I feel like i am doing something wrong. I am not used to win so many games like this.
😂😂😂😂
Checkmate in 11 for a 1786 ELO player? That had to hurt, especially with a Scholar's Mate!
Game 2: I'm proud to say that I felt f4 was the correct move when Eric instead played Rf3. Stockfish shows that as +4.7, compared to +2.7 for Rf3. After f4, if black played exf4, then e5 follows, sacrificing white's rook on h3. (Oh, no, my rook!) Bxd6+ comes next, and if Kd7, the Bxe7, Kxe7, exf6, and he can't take back the pawn or he will lose his rook to Nxh7+. They are completely equal in material, but white has two passed pawns and is about to grab black's a pawn as well. (Yes, I did see this without the engine.) Eric's next two moves brought him down to near even, so this was not his best set of moves. I'm ready to take Rosen down! (Yeah, right.)
The opponent was stuck in playing blitz in rapid. Only used 30 seconds of his time in a 10 minute game.
Checked on you after a while and it seems like you have abandoned Lichess? Disappointed
39:30, If you encounter that bug again, just click on the border between the board and the notation to fix it.
