#chess #ericrosen - Hry
I love that you're always so understanding of your opponents mistakes. You never forgive them though and punish them severely on the board but never verbally. A true gentleman always. Thank you for all your explanations of why moves are suboptimal. I was amazed that you had your game published when you were so young and found such a winning combination against a much higher rated opponent.
My new years chess resolution is to reach 1000 in rapid play and blunder less (oh no my Queen is mostly not a trap with me). Thank you again for your teaching, it's a key part of my learning for this year
The most relaxing person to watch after a long day. Thanks for your videos man.
So informative and relaxing my favourite series of anything maybe thanks eric
I agree, Eric R. is great!
If you like watching chess videos to relax, you might also enjoy Chessnetwork.
I agree. Just started watching Eric and I have been returning.
Fr i watch this and sleep
That last game was savage. A graphic example of how development can crush material edge.
Amazing how he can recall a position and game he played from when he was 12 years old!
This has been the most useful series for improving at chess by far. As opposed to being obsessed with trying to nail particular openings and traps I'm playing far more intuitively and responding to my opponents weaknesses. Before I would just mindlessly try and follow a system and eventually become lost when the opponent played something unexpected. Has showed massively and improved about 150 rating points. Aim to reach 1k this year!
One of my favourite elements of this series is the patience and humility that you show all of your opponents. Even at the lowest level, and silliest moves, you would still try and explain the opponents thinking and play solidly in return instead of just speedily crushing them. Sure you still end up wiping the floor eventually, but you approach each player with the same level of respect with which you might approach a GM, and never underestimate! which is an important chess lesson within itself. Thanks Eric!
“When your pieces are in good squares, the tactics will come.”
- Eric Rosen, 2024
Bruh 😂
Well Fischer said that tactics flow naturally from superior position and it still holds true.
"And they came really fast "
"And they are coming very quickly"
And in this position they come quickly
My new years resolution is to do my first OTB tournament.
It's tomorrow so I think I'll get it done.
Good first tournament!! :)
You'll have a lots of fun
Just, when someone checks you, don't say, "Redouble!"
How did it go?
good luck!
Really enjoying this series! (Side note: thank you for making content that can safely be played out loud with kids or their grandparents in the room! haha)
You can safely put Eric or Naraditsky on CZcams when mixed company is around. That is one of the many reasons they are my two favorite chess YTs. Great edutainment. Sorry, Gotham got to pass.
@@bassmanjr100 Put it out there to Gotham, i am sure he is willing to listen.
My New Year’s chess resolution is to not quit chess, cause I have so much work to do outside of chess :(
I once felt your pain. Fortunately, I turned 67 and retired. From work, that is. Now I enjoy life's true pursuit on the 64-square pasture.
mine is to not quit chess cuz i have so much work to do AND cuz i suck LOL
Mine is to get to 1900; currently, I am 1650
I also want to do 15 minutes of puzzles a day. I hate puzzles
@@MrDanielfff777what’s your puzzle rating?
2200, yours?@@charliedarin8349
@26:10 !! Wow!!!!! Well done young Eric!
Also, I love this speedrun series
My new years' chess resolution is playing games against actual humans, instead of just puzzles and bots.
This is by far the best video series on chess having a grandmaster working his way up and explaining each decision and seeing all kind of trap on going, Well done this is great stuff
There are some other very good ones as well by Daniel Naroditzky and John Bartholomew, for example.
If you want something a little more direct, check out Chess-Network's long tutorial "Stop Before You Chop"
My chess resolution is to write all the notation for my casual games I play in person ever week and actually learn the coordinates by heart and analyze my games
You are the best Eric: There is more to chess than winning. You exemplify personal maturity and kindness...along with chess brilliance. Wish the world had more of you.
love the content Eric! I love hearing your thoughts on attacking strategies in the middle game as that is where I suffer the most. Would love to see a season 2!
My New Year's resolution for chess is to be less competitive. I want to just enjoy the game and not worry about winning or losing so much
Man, I feel this way too much. I'm not great at Chess, I'm only playing for the enjoyment of the game, but I am such a poor loser. It's hard to break the habit of responding like that. I'm gonna give it my best shot though.
@@zndrb10 nice! Keep at it and you'll only get better at losing gracefully
@@zndrb10 You can try pretending that you're playing a teacher, and if/when you lose, take it as the lesson / learning opportunity. One thing I like is I can't get frustrated at a "teammate" for making a mistake.. it's always something I myself can learn to do better.
The best chess speedrun ever made!
Eric, your long explanations are a treasure. TY.
Thanks Eric; I'm making sure to like and comment on every video in this series to say thanks for this content! Learning a lot.
Awsome! Eric, you're the best chess teacher on youtube. Solid, slow, steady explaining everything while playing. Incredible.
Love your calm demeanor. Looking forward to epi 19 and more!
Love these series, thank you Eric!
Love your content Eric. Thank you for sharing your life and passion with us.
Happy New Year, Eric. Thank you for amazing content.
love the videos, learn something everytime. plz keep up the good work!
Happy new year Eric, you absolute king. Love your streams
I can't believe it's already episode 18 of this series.
My resolution is to keep watching Eric!
Perhaps we'll see a Ponziani opening soon...
I love your videos dude, they are very instructive and offer many useful tips. the way you speak is too relaxing though, I always fall asleep when I watch you haha
Absolutely Love it!
Thank you, great teaching, as always.
Trying to get to 1000 rating this year. Had a huge drop from 730 to the 600s, so it’s a slog at the moment.
Have that same problem. Currently at 950ish and somehow manage to drop to 800.. lol. Fighting well right now though.
this year? you can do it under a week surely
I can coach u for free
@@Kcrude wait this is exactly me, from 950 to 800. im fighting for my life rn and the wins dont even feel satisying, my last few wins were dudes just blundering queens, not me doing anything cool lmao
Yes eric, nice one. Love your videos.
I plugged that last game into an engine out of curiosity, and that was a clean 100 accuracy. Good lesson for people new to chess: high accuracy does not always indicate cheating, especially if the win was very quick and the opponent’s accuracy was very low.
Thank you! Great content as usual, Eric! -- Your comment “When your pieces are in good squares, the tactics will come" reminds me of Shane Parrish who says that "To the person who is well-positioned, every option looks like a good option. To the person who is poorly positioned, every option looks like a bad option." Positioning in both Chess and life is crucial. Thanks for reinforcing great life lessons.
Love the video as always
Happy new year Eric! 🎉
31:40 is definitely a WOAH moment....savage triple fork!
I've been playing chess for 5 days after stumbling across Anna Cramling's channel. I'm failing at Blitz terribly, but I passed 800 on Rapid today, which I'm very happy with, and it's almost exclusively down to this Speedrun series, thank you!
I played only about 30 games last year but watched and studied chess for many many hours. So I wish to have the courage to play more.
That was a fun story, thanks Eric!
Happy new year!
I just looked up Eric's 2003 Niles opponent (from the newspaper clipping 26:15) on fide, Mark Marovitch. 25:42, The way Eric was talking about him i thought he'd be 90 years old. Dude was born in '61! Means he was either 41 or 42 when Eric played him! Sure that's still pretty old compared to an 11 year old, but dude! Eric made it sound like he was playing someone from a nursing home!
Maximum punishment sounds so good coming from Eric :)
great video Eric! My new years resolution is to play my first over the board tournament :)
25:54 Eric has shared this game in a lecture for kids at Saint Louis Chess Club. “9 Year-Old Eric Rosen vs. The Scary Old Guys”
This is the Perfect Video to end a Beautiful day. Eric youre Great, im really looking up to you :)
I really liked the video. Thank you.👍
Hi Eric! Often, since you´re such a strong player, you win right at the opening. This doesn´t give us the chance to enjoy your explanation of typical strategies and moves of certain openings. Maybe, when certain game winning tactics arise, it would be interesting to point them out, but then not play them and continue in the spirit of the opening (at least early in the speedrun). I think that would be the best of both worlds! I´d be curious to hear your thoughts on this. Thank you for all that you do!
If anyone is interested in the b4 move of the Scandinavian (mentioned in 11:05 game), it's called the Leonhardt Gambit and was Eric's first instructional video on YT! It's a really interesting line and I think it would be great for all players, especially around this rating where the Scandi is common, to have in their back pocket for some fun wins.
Happy New Years Eric!! My chess new years resolution is to get 2000 elo! And maybe get an autograph from you at an event in stl Two big goals!
I'd really love to break 1100 and meet 1300 this year, though I'm not quite sure how to do so. I'm finding it quite difficult to improve, even with puzzles and game analysis. But I'm still enjoying chess, especially watching your videos :) Happy New Year!!
This is my favorite series
this series is awesome! i hope you do many more! my NYR for chess is to get my Blitz to 2200!
My resolution is to be better than 50% of the active Rapid players on Lichess (~ rating 1600). I'm currently around 1300 and your calm videos are the main reason why I'm slowly and steadily improving!
I recommend adding opening name to the title. Because this is an instructive speedrun, it will be helpful for the new players and us to find these videos by opening for reference in future
@21:29 Bxf3 is afaik the mainline Scandinavian, best move evaluated at +0.9 (2nd best is +1.6). After exchanging the bishop, you eventually play e6 to get a light squares pawn complex.
Happy new year
My new years resolution is to quit chess I hate the way it makes me feel, and I'm addicted - but I'll never stop watching you Eric!
@becomeunreasonable7508 well, I can see you've already made a first step down that path (by choosing that user name). 😜
Honestly I kind of agree...some days I just lose like 5-10 games straight, many from completely winning positions, and I tilt so bad I want to cry. Seriously infuriating
@@baseket2ball12 take a break, and don't play so many games in a row
oh dear
I understand :/
Love you Eric ❤
My new year's resolution is to play more Rapid and hope I end up on one of these speedrun videos.
That last one was beautiful in its brutality. It needs a narration from either David Attenborough, or better yet Werner Herzog.
"It's unfinished development; it's still prehistorical. The only thing that is lacking is the dinosaurs here. It's like a curse weighing on the entire white position. We have to become humble in front of this overwhelming savageness, this overwhelming domination, these overwhelming knights, and overwhelming lack of mercy. Even the arrows up here in the board look like a mess. There's no harmony in the white pieces. We have to get acquainted to this idea that there's no real harmony as we conceived it. But when I say this I say this all full of admiration for the position. It is not that I hate it; I love it, I love it very much. But I love it against my better judgment."
Chess New Year resolution: reaching 1800 FIDE. Right now I'm 1650. I've just started playing classical tournaments and I've discovered a completely new side of chess, and I love it. It's a totally different game from 10 minute chess.
I love your content. I think my chess goal is to be more mindful with the games and moves i make, rather than tilting or playing mindlessly. Also, play some more scrabble please!
My chess New Year resolution is to play less OTB and start playing online. Nice seeing that clipping from the newspaper!
Really enjoying the series helping me play more calm. Currently 1080 in rapid would like to be over 1100. However my resolution is to be improve my responses to my opponent during opening. I play London and struggle to find (remember) strong development for each response
Chess New Year Resolution - meet in person with all of my friends that play chess and play a game over the board :)
speedrun series is the best
In the second game the move 6. h3 was fortuitous but to my mind that's sloppy thinking bc after opposite-side castles instead of putting the question to the notorious problem bishop it creates a hook. ofc maybe it's caveman style to play b4 and a4 while Black plays g5 and h5 but games sometimes do go that way. Thx very much for the illustrations today. I enjoyed them. : )
I know that everyone is asking it, but please make some longer vids. They are amazing :)
That last game was BRUTAL
Isnt it incorrect at 17:02 when you said "I'm not actually attacking g5", as then you would just use the Queen sack into double bishop mate you mentioned earlier.
I started playing 3 months ago, currently at 1040 elo and 1750 in puzzles, my resolution is 1500 this year and 2200 in puzzles. Thank you for the instructive and calming content
ah and I forgot my other goal: take part in at least 4 OTB local tournaments
thank you eric
This speedrun motivates me to improve and gain rating so I can outrun it.
To think I hadn't had the bell on the subscribe button selected all this time. Oh no my notifications!
That 3d game was brutal!
Planning to start playing more regurarly again.
1:27 I go with Nc6 because of the intermezzo Nd4 after Nxe4.
My new years chess resolution is to learn the Stafford so you can be proud of me
So that's the story that made eric like traps so much!
My goal this year is to reach 1900! Thanks for asking. I am teaching some kids so your course is being really helpful!
Eric talking about mating a 2000 thousand opponent at the age of 12 with so much excitement makes my soul happy.
That was a helluva mate too. Very impressive finish.
Happy new year! This year resolution is not to rage quit when I loose 😅
That last game was such a brutal slaughter..
This video should have a V2 content rating..
V2 - Strongly violent or disturbing
At 24.55 there was boden mate with Queen sacrifes. Qxc6
11:30 hey Eric, I would’ve liked to have seen the b4 line you mentioned. Wish you covered it after the game.
You taught the b4 Scandy in one of your first teaching videos. I've used it - but seemed to find little success with it. LOL
My chess goal is to get a rating so I can see where I stand. I am 63 years old and played chess in my childhood and teen years but then walked away when my friends stopped playing. I had been school chess champion at my junior high school and had been in just one non-school tournament, but it was not a rating tournament, so I never got a rating of any kind. I have just recently returned to the game after all this time and am brushing up on my openings and playing against Stockfish. I have realized that traps don't work against Stockfish, so I am looking at giving Maia a try. I have also ordered some widely-recommended books to help me prepare to jump back in, one on openings and one on mating patterns.
BTW, thanks for the look back at your 2003 game. It was a nice trap, very elegant!
Go for it! Great to have ambitious goals at 63. (I'm 69 😊)
Before I ask my question, I'd love to thank you for this amazing series. My question is in your first game, when you played pawn f5, if your opponent had taken en passant would you have taken with the queen or with the pawn? Because if you take with the pawn your opponent might check you with the queen on h5 right?
First game I saw sacing the knight to open up the king. Maybe not sound but it didn’t look bad.
gg wellplayed
In 17:00 I think you can still take the pawn on g5 then if queen takes the knight, you then go for the queen sac and bodens mate right?
Lol, nice thumbnail - that's the most f'd up position I've ever seen!
Can you elaborate on what you mean by good squares in your next video?
my resolution is simply to get good enough at chess that i'm not making very basic errors in my games. i will be happy if i'm simply bad at tactics but not making one move blunders of pieces.
I played my first online game this year :D
In the game FightingScandinavianDefense why not deflect the black g-pawn with the h-pawn to clear the bisshop-diagonal for a quicker win?
My new years resolution is 2000 rated in Bullet, Blitz and Rapid on Lichess!
If I'm playing someone that wants to go on early adventures with the queen, I usually feel more relaxed.
@5:13 broke my little australian heart 😭
