#chess #ericrosen - Hry
Eric I love how you don't kowtow to the CZcams recipe, it's awesome to see somebody just trying to help people try to learn chess without acting like a cartoon! You're a good dude man.
You could be talking about Levy huh? Lmao
@@sapwoodwildwood5843 maybe with screenshots and titles but that's the limit. His actual content is amazing. Ask yourself why you're hating
@@jakemiller255 ask yourself why you are hating in the comments to begin with. you don't have to compare creators in order to express appreciation
@@DudeWithTheNose While I agree with you, he isn't actually hating. Calling someone's behavior cartoon like when they do infact behave like one isn't really hating. But you are 100% correct that comparing creators is bad, the difference is what makes each of them entertaining.
Please try solving this chess puzzle. It's almost impossible to win with white.
5r1r/p1p1R3/1pkN1R1p/2p5/4N3/4BK2/q7/8/
White to play.
Have fun!
I have tried myself but I can't find a way to win.
I could easily watch a full episode of Eric pronouncing the opponents names
Need that supercut yesterday
@@Jahjaga Then why didn't you ask me yesterday? I kept IM-ing you how bored I was.
When you put yourself in time trouble it really emphasises what a massive advantage your endgame knowledge is. Most people at this rating are probably panic moving but you know the patterns so well. Gives you way more freedom to take time in the opening and middle game.
Haha I was 2nd opponent in this video. I didn't realize it was you!! If I knew it, I would be play more solidly. Instead I was little bit in tilt mode. Thank you for the game anyway😂
We're speedrunning the speedrun!
I really respect your self assessment and honesty. It's nice to know even the greatest chess players need time to process move orders on the Evans
Eric is FAR from greatest...
Oh no my productivity!
+40:25 "It's still tricky" ... especially when you don't play Ra4 to win the Queen. haha
Yeah, I didn't see Nxd5 for White during the game, but I was screaming for Ra4.
Yeah that seems like strange oversight from an IM
Looks like my wife and kids are going to have to wait a little bit longer for me to come home
Shame on you. Get your wife and kids into chess then it could be family night. If they refuse, then it’s time to consider another wife
Oh no my familial relationship! Now, i will have compensation in the form of a board game, but all endgames are going to be worse for me
My wife and kids have been waiting 41 years for me to come home. I got up one morning, boarded a train to the coast, jumped on a boat, left the country, and never went back.
Real talk, go be with your family. The video isn't going anywhere.
Daddy we’re hungry 🥺
Your videos are to tier Eric, so relaxing and instructive. And the way you analyze every line really helps.
In the Evans Gambit game, Rosen comments on move 9, "I might already be in trouble," but he was actually OK. On move 10, he did put himself in real trouble, as Rosen pointed out after (saving me from typing it all up), but his opponent missed it, blundering his own rook instead. Another bullet dodged.
I am definitely going to be putting some study into the Evans Gambit now.
I am pretty new at chess and the only opening I learned is Italian followed by both fried liver and Evans gambit for 2 different scenarios but though fried liver came up a few times, Evan's gambit never came up which makes me very upset.
Similar thing happend to me also. I was playing a scotch game while my opponent played a move I didn't know. The position was complicated, I thought I was in some trouble and then just blundered a move after. Checked with the engine after the game, I was actually doing fine before the blunder.
“I really ought to watch my time”. Yeah, you .. oh ssh ..- gotta go to work.
best chess content ever!
Nope.... gingergm has that title.
I am very much enjoying this series, thanks for putting it together.
Eric playing at this rating is so much fun to watch cause he calculates what GM-level play would look like but is constantly taken off guard by the opponent's play, gets into time trouble and then starts premoving a complicated endgame strategy like a 2600 rated player.
Except not at all
We are being spoilt lately with these speedrun episodes!
spolit for choice
These episodes are so helpful at showing a lot of the small things that go into every calculation.
When the speedrun is over you should really consider making an openings streaming DL series. Not playing opponents but showing openings and analyzing with your engine. Maybe showing the top 2 or 3 lines per opening and the best replies. I would totally buy that! I bet a lot of your viewers would.
41:40 Black king cannot catch your pawn until it queens here! You could have gained a few seconds here by pre-moving. But nice games!
Yeah why didn't he just do that?
I noticed that too. I'd guess Eric just didn't really have much time to count the squares.
Thank you so much for all of these episodes!
40:18 Does Ra4 win the queen?
I think so, I also reacted to that, and he didn't take it up in the analysis either. But I think it would win the queen
It wins whites queen
Yes
Yeah and a pawn I think
Yeah 👍🏼
ERIC, WE'RE LOVING IT MAN. EVEN TO THE POINT OF WATCHING THE ADVANCED SERIES MORE THEN TWICE! SUCH FUN SHARING A SERIES LIKE THIS WITH FRIENDS AND CLUB MEMBERS. KEEP IT UP, AS FOR SO MANY OF YOUR SERIOUS FANS, THIS IS OUR MOST FAVORED CONTENT!!
This channel is so solid. Only subscription. Keep it up, Eric! Going for 200 🚀
thank you for the lesson! the example of a kingside attack in game 1 was very instructive for me.
Happy Sunday! You’re killing it, Eric!
Honestly the time scrambles are entertaining and intense. Keeps my eyes glued like "is he gonna lose his first game???" So much on the line lol. Great video as always!
same here
Since I first watched his streams, and in high elo games as well as these, I've always been impressed by how Eric can go from slow, deep calculation to blitzing out moves in the endgame.
I have to imagine it throws off opponents who have grown comfortable with their time advantage.
The Grand Prix attack win was a master class.
Eric,you have incredible endgame technique! Thanks for demonstrating .
One of my favorite videos from you. You're an awesome chess mentor
Beautiful game that last one. Thank you so much for doing this Eric, watching you play and talk about chess gives me a warm feeling inside, like there is good in the world. I can't really explain why but I think I see it in other people's comments as well. Much appreciated in these dire times. All the best to you!!
I was very very bad at chess before encountering these videos. The first time I've seen these was the time I indeed tasted the sweetness of chess. Now I'm addicted to chess and your videos, Eric. Thank you! It's 2 am for me but can sleep without finishing this episode haha
Okay 👍🏼
Okay
Bank holiday weekend complete 😂 thanks Eric. Love the vids!
Another good episode. Thank you.
Your chess feels like an asmr, but with the complement of strategy thinking. But cool anyway
Rosen: "I'll have to manage my time better..."
Rosen: "Checkmate with 5 seconds to spare..."
What an episode man!!!
The best Chess series on CZcams right now!
For the Evans Gambit I recommend the Stone-Ware system, instead of Ba5 it is Bd6, h6, Qf6 Nge7, etc.
I really like your videos thank you!😊
Love this series
Love you Eric! ❤
That first Grand Prix game was such a beautiful attacking example!
Please make a guided meditation video Eric, that would be amazing! Maybe on soundcloud or a second youtube channel. :)
Smell the flowers… blow out the birthday candles
Rosen with a minute left is scarier than Rosen with 9 minutes.
Honey wake up Eric dropped another speedrun episode…. Oh wait I’m dying alone
Third game was closest and also the most classic opening. I wonder if that means anything.
Thanks for this speed run and other videos. Thoroughly enjoying your videos. Quick question: Is there a way to show the move number in your chessboard display? Thanks.
My favorite series
It's getting so interesting - every episode from now on i am in fear of you loosing the winning streak - and actually i think you are gonna loose your winning streak by loosing , not by drawing .
Still very entertaining content - thanks for it! :)
@40:13 After King A6, Rook A4 pins the Queen?
I see I am not the first to mention this. At 40:18, could Eric have played Ra5 to win white's queen?
1000th like. Rock on with the attacking chess
At 12:34 rf3 is the best move and forced mate. Ng5 is not forced mate
We need to start placing bets on which episode he's going to lose on time. I remember 12 or 8 seconds left felt really close about 3 or 4 episodes ago. Now we've had two episodes in a row with 5 seconds left. So lets say 5 seconds every 4 episodes? Im guessing episode 50. Although, if he starts busting out advanced openings, that could reset the clock.
g-dammit rosen, you keep releasing these videos on late night, seeing you win with few seconds to spare is not good for my heart.
Danya has a cool episode about the evens gambit "Beginner To Master | Chess Speedrun | 1420 | Grandmaster Naroditsky"
The bishop has to go back to E7 in the Evan's Gambit. A5 is needed for the knight.
Just curious, looking at a lot of these videos I see that you mention playing the Moeller attack a lot when you were younger. Is there any particular reason you switched from this opening variation of the Italian? As a player of Moeller attack myself, I've often contemplated introducing the quieter game/d3 setups, but I don't understand why one might do this, or when a player might consider making the switch. Any help regarding this matter would be greatly appreciated. Thank you. You are awesome!
On the evans gambit game, bishop takes f7 ahould have been found rather easily as a desperado was required since he didnt have any way to protect both the rook and the bishop. Perhaps makes the follow up tactics easier to see after seeing which way you get out of check
That was a nice Grand Prix.
3rd game: Ra4 close to the end is win the white Queen (white Queen was on a5, white King was on a6)
I just enjoy all your games!
Great games and score is insane they are also playing strong at that rating...
such a weird conversion there :D Why not just run with the g pawn when the opponent only has the king all the way on the queen side, that would be so much easier to premove.
Good question
How do you get this good at end games. The last end game would have taken me 5 whole minutes to execute
Kudos Eric for drawing arrows without looking 👍
Hi, great video as always. Thank you.
Against Maggadon, on move 13, Eric, you played pretty quickly ( as you often say about your opponents, hehe ). Instead of automatic pawn recapture on f5, why not flicking in Bh6 right then? It seems good, and after checking, is even recommended by stockfish, for what it's worth ( even considering black's next move : Kh5 ).
Since you didn't comment on this move, I don't know if you even considered it, and rejected it in your mind.
Cheers, happy chess everyboy.
Matthieu
Im around 1500 rating and that hybrid London/Queen's gambit is how I love to play as white. Its objectively not great, but gets everyone out of lines they know immediately.
Eric, my heart rate has been going crazy watching these last few episodes! What’s the over/under on your win streak? I’m hoping for 200 at least!
Hmm... Napkin math suggests that a 200 win streak would put Eric at a speedrun ELO of around 2200. This is well within occasional upset territory, so not loosing a game or two before this would be quite an accomplishment.
“Gingnosen” makes me think, “Oh no, my ginseng!”
Speaking of the Evan’s Gambit, when you get to the 2200 games, you should collaborate with @agadmator who has been recording some of his rapid games.
After Ka6, I was thinking Ra4. 😊
On that last part of the last game, the white king was outside the square right? (what's up with that square rule that no one cares about?) Because it seem like a complicated way to promote using the 2 pawns, when the g pawn could have just run up the board... Nonetheless, great content as always. My favourite.
142 wins, no draws, no loses and your rating is still 1700! How is that even possible?
I started the speedrun at a non-provisional rating of 400 (Chess.com did a rating reset). This allows the rating to increase at a slower pace.
Oh yeah!
17:39 what about black bishop to c3 to take pawn with check? If opponent blocks check with bishop, take pawn on e5 or snag the rook?
43:51 It is the same tactic of your game with Susan Polgar
(the 13th minute of video with title of "10-year-old Eric Rosen vs Women's World Chess Champion Susan Polgar")
Watching your clock run down is bad for my mental health, even after cheering you on for four years and seeing it happen on a regular basis. As always, great content.
Why in end (with low on time) you didn't go pawn h7 --> h1 only... The white king didn't have the chance to catch the pawn.
Yes, wondering the same thing.
Eric, FYI your videos often start with your first word or two cut off. Suggest a slight delay between when you hit record and when you start speaking. Also, love of content!
45:13 Instead of trying to mate, I'd play Ra4 winning the queen for the rook. Then the white rook has to guard the king, and there should be not much resistance to get a second queen.
In the first game Eric, did opponent have rook a8 - f8 to prevent forced mate?
What would you do if the opponent played bishop to b5 during the Evans gambit game. At the 19:40 timestamp.
I thought I saw you could’ve played pawn f6 a few moves before you did - not sure tho
At the beggining of the video:
“I’ll try manage my time better”
5:05 Eric mention BH6 (wich is a great move, agressive, just the point that needs more work on his personality)
5:38 He second guesses his BH6
7:09 He finally decide for BH6
8:41 He couldnt hold that attack vibe for too much and retreat with BH5, when he could’ve move KE5 or KH5 and puts more preassure.
Ne5 hangs a night and Nh5 wasn’t even a possible move.
Not disagreeing that much, just to mention K is King and Knights are generally indicated with N; so Ne5/Nh4, and also Bg5 btw; and I assume you meant Ne4 instead of Ne5 (Nh4 also loses a knight btw).
@@simi104My bad bro, i mean Kinght to H4.
@@baoboumusicDidnt know that. Thanks for the information. And yes, Ne4 was the correct mention.
@@baoboumusic u right, i always mess that up.
At 25:42 white takes your knight on D5 and you talked about which piece to take back with but you both missed what should have been his follow-up move, Q-A4 check, winning the bishop on B4. I thought that was white's reason for taking your knight at the time.
11:13 Ne8 looked interesting instead of Ne4.. attacking the Queen and threatening checkmate. The knight is uncapturable due to back rank checkmate. Black would have to play Qh6, and then you could follow up with f6, attacking the g7 pawn 3 times, that looks crushing. Although black could also respond to Ne8 with Qd4+ first, so maybe the most precise move in the position is c3 to stop Qd4+, threatening Ne8 next move.
I was looking at those exact moves myself but then I saw after Qh6 and f6, black could play Qg6 and go for the trade with the next move being Bb7 threatening checkmate if you move the queen away instead.
43:35 i saw it in about 3 seconds BUT only because you made it known... queen trap
Wow the knight taking on d5 is so easy to miss, when you see the queen is basically trapped you might see it
Can you play the Bishop's opening?
I think it's worth considering switching to 15+10 for this series. It gives enough time to be very instructive while still being rapid.
I think even 10|5 would be better, and 5 secs per move in those time scramble endings, would be plenty
24:05 Why does the opponent not play Queen a4 and win back the pawn instantly?
Evans gambit op
Please make the search +- 50 - regardless I am loving the videos :)
Im surprised Eric has not had any cheaters yet . I'm so low rated I get notices often. Unless Eric has beat a few engines already
Watch game 3 in episode 43.
Opponent offered a draw after 2 moves, undevelopped his pieces in the opening, defended brilliantly and blundered in time trouble.
Very suspicious.
How high of a rating are you going to go, Eric?
Does anyone else find Eric talking in your head when you play?
" 37:10 night f4 feedback on that idea? (Beginner here)
I’m a bit disappointed that you did not say the rating of your opponent. I didn’t know if your opponent was strong or weak. Their rating is cut off on my screen.
Rating was 1700+ . more or less the same as Eric's rating on screen, which you could see maybe
Finally the opponents are getting decent
