[@rmendeljacobs2832]

[@Idothingssometimes]

I have been playing chess since 2021 and I am very close to reaching 1600 rapid it’s honestly been a blast keep the chess coming!

[@RunningGag1987]

You’re the best chess pro! Keep it up

[@paulphoenix2778]

“it’s a Christmas Eve tragedy” 😭🤣

[@tomdixon1213]

Stockholm syndrome, where hostages end up sympathizing with their captors.

[@Kyle-nd4gz]

Man, BackyardProfessor went on tilt after that second game against Eric...

[@thetransferaccount4586]

nice one there

[@hahaha-fw5ng]

ok but the thumbnail

[@mohammadabushanab8703]

What about it?

[@EricRosenExtra]

Editor's note: The position in the thumbnail comes from a game in this stream.

[@christofferreyes8084]

Making 4 queens very instructive😁

[@rmendeljacobs2832]

can the editor shed some light on why this is streamed dec 24 and it was published a month later? I'm guessing because the main channel's editing is prioritized?@@EricRosenExtra

[@EricRosenExtra]

Extra Channel videos are generally published every two to three days. Eric often streams more frequently than that, so there ends up being a backlog. Paid Twitch subscribers may access all the vods immediately at twitch.tv/imrosen. Hope that helps!

merry christmas eve

[@forceward]

Shout out to HeyitsmeEric for making Eric happy in the last hours of 2023

[@kasparkirschbaum7588]

[@Wiipodicus]

chicken fried rice + rosen combo 😏😏😏😏😏😏😏😏😏😏

[@Tristanthompsons]

48:00 big black center

[@williamtenholder3391]

Some music during the games would be nice 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@spindoctor6385]

I dislike the more draconian time restricted games. After a certain point, it is barely even chess. Chess should not require any hand eye co-ordination.
I am not saying 3+0 games are not entertaining but they are not real chess.

[@kylekylekyle505]

Ok

[@mikebaker2436]

They are real chess if players know 10-15 moves of theory.

[@spindoctor6385]

@@mikebaker2436 That makes it even worse, it becomes a game of memory. If one guy has a line prepared well to 12 moves he will get smashed by a guy who has the same line/s memorized to 15 moves. There is no time to think and work out what the best move is, especially if it is some obscure line where something like f6 is the only move that can save you but it doesn't become evident for another 4-5 moves.
