When you're waiting for a Round 6 recap but are blessed with a 3 hour arena instead.
I think this was pre-recorded to use as filler if the need arose, and the need arose.
I'm still waiting for the final recap from the Dubai rapid tournament
true blessing right there

Did you fall asleep before the end?
Great work though 👏
Eric should pin this comment
2:29:50 No, Eric, this video did not make it to CZcams.
F for Respect for this guy☝️
For anyone else wondering about Eric's tournament performance, it's 2866 with a 75% win rate over 32 games against opponents with an average rating of 2585.
Thank you! I was about to look in Lichess... Eric should give the time to present the final statistics
That's incredible. In FIDE most GMs are 2500+. Of course LiChess uses provisional Glicko ratings, so it isn't directly comparable, but 2866 is extremely good in any case! Some people who have looked at the data have approximated that LiChess ratings are about 125 points higher than the equivalent FIDE rating, so it looks like Eric Rosen could certainly be a Grandmaster. I wonder if he'll do the norms sometime? I bet he's probably answered this already and I'm just not involved enough in his community to know.
@@ReasonMakes The answer is that he just doesn’t really care as much as he used to about getting to his absolute peak rating and becoming a GM. He’d rather focus on other things like photography, content creation, exploring the world, etc. I personally believe (and so do many others including Hikaru), that Eric if he put his full effort into it, could be a GM. Maybe someday he will be but it isn’t a focus of his rn
I know I've been absolutely spoiled by Eric when I think "WTF, he didn't timestamp a brief description of every game every 5 minutes in a 3 hour video?!"

Eric in a nutshell: Being raided by the greatest chess player of all time, "shout out to Garry"
Magnus>Kasparov
@@boxnow8774 By far. Any version of post '10 Magnus beats prime Kasparov
@@boxnow8774 It was just a way of speech, chill. And Garry -Chess- Kasparov's name is probably the most famous in regards to great chess players.
It’s not Kasparov who streams on the channel, though, it sounded like Eric knew that.

Wooooow, what a safe with a beautiful rosen stalemate at 14:00!!
Second game and we already have a Rosen trap! This is what I signed up for! 🔥
33:10 You had Nxg4 then comes the fork, you win the bishop and the game
33:10 Eric missed Nxg4. I saw it immediately. I think I'm getting superpowers 😂
yep, that would have done it.
i have never scene such a hilarious and great tactic that only eric would find. 2:35:29 He wins a rook by pinning a rook to a rook with a rook. rofl so genius.
Incredibly interesting how this was your best arena ever and it was also probably your tamest. Almost no gambits, no crazy play, just positional, cool, chess.
I enjoy your long videos in both forms.
14:05
you got me good there
i did not expect it beforehand :)
Hey there. I want to say thank you. I’ve been watching your content for about a year and a half now. I went from losing so many games in 1 minute bullet that my rating got down to 150. After watching you I’m back up to like 600, I know that’s not impressive but when you only win 6 points a game that’s a lot of wins :) and in 10 min chess I was rated 400 or so and today I hit 1200. Thank you for the videos. I watch your stuff every chance I get and have learned so much. I’m not trying to get to your level but playing chess as a hobby and actually being able to make plans is amazing. You’ve taught me so much here on YT
400 to 1200 is an amazing improvement
@@heeroyuy298 thank you! I’m trying my best
You inspired me to learn chess, thank you. Huge fan 😀
Super cool! Hope you're loving it!
Super instructive video Eric. It's so cool how you're able to explain your ideas even in relatively tight time constraints like these 3 minute games. Usually I just watch an hour or so of these longer videos but I watched this one the whole way through.
14:05 I never get tired of watching Eric catch people with this stalemate trick!
The hilarious thing about it is that Black had plenty of time on the clock and didn't have to pre-move. All his hard work down the drain because he was too cocky and impatient.
Eric, I beat someone at a local tournament 30 + 5 in less than a minute using stafford. Thanks for your videos.
Congratulations!
@@shors5841 Thanks
Curious at what rating?
@@Ism0Lait3la she was 1300 uscf
gottem
Did not watch yet but wanted to have a better chance for you to read this: the U in German "Luft" is just pronounced as in rook. Love from Germany!
Tsoogtswang
He's not saying the german word, he's saying the english loanword that happens to come from german. There are countless loanwords from countless languages, and there's no reason for him to force himself to use native german pronunciation. That's just silly.
@@Tulanir1 Agreed. This is Merica
commenting here since this was the most recent video, keep your head high 👑 you played amazing this whole tournament despite what happened in games 8 and 9 and you are a great player. good luck for your game against Irene eric, bring home another win
2:29:55 Yep, glad this made its way to CZcams!
2:35:00 Re3!! was an insane tactic. Love it!
Definitely the best moment in this video imo, crazy ending
I can't stop laughing at "Accidentally rhyming is the first step to accidentally rapping" - 1:26:12
Eric, I have been a long time follower of yours, I still remember your first stream there was only one person watching and I was thinking:" this guy is good, why no ones watching ?". Now you have over half a million subs. Keep up the good work.
That one person was himself, hey has a funny video about it sonewehere
Yeah I watched his old streams, and he said "There's nobody watching" and it kinda broke my heart lol. Glad he found himself in a better position now.
Wow, Eric, just wow. I was on the edge of my seat in the last game, sad you lost... But overall, it is the best tournament I've ever seen from you! I learn a lot from your videos and I enjoy them a lot, specially these long tournament videos.
Oh man just when I was looking for what to watch tonight, what a treat! Thanks for sharing!
God damn, congrats Eric.. love seeing quality content WHERE U just own 'em.. nice work
You know you watch a lot of Eric when you reach "if you've made it this far on youtube let me know" on every video. Love you Eric
It's always and will be always a pleasure to see videos that length in hours, thank you !
great job on both the chess and the sponsor!! we love you!
Good performance! You're the man Eric!
YES a 3 hour upload on a Sunday night, ty Eric :)
More of these pls? :)
Eric please, i need more blitz/rapid content. Thank you very much! Youre an awesome person.
I feel proud of you. Very well done Eric !
it's always a great day when eric posts a full stream
I only watched your intro, but I'm happy for your performance. Congratz! Always love to see the longer videos with full tournaments.
This comment is kinda stupid if u like the longer vids you would watch em not just the intro but good try
the way eric smacks his lips around 14:20 at the end of the game before the stalemate is so funny its like he can taste it coming
Eric you've done so much preparation on the Stafford you know sidelines of the Petrov and the four knights really intimately. If you wrote some theory on the Stafford I would absolutely read it
I always thought it was called TILTED arena, then I realized it was only for those with a FIDE title.
Good job!
That was fun to watch.
So great. Thanks again for all the great content. :)
The recap video we wanted?
Eric: The long Sunday video you needed.
Excellent. I'm 53 so there's no hope for me getting much better than I am right now, rating maybe 1500 if I take my time. BUT---I still always learn something new watching your vids.
Never too late!
14:00 that stale to save everything nice work.
2:39 “it’s allowing takes” lmaooo i’ve never heard that one i like it
Excited for this video.
I also like Flow! Great litterature that applies to a lot creative work as well.
Just got Flow on audible. Can’t wait to listen to it. Thanks
The knight move at 44:27 must complete one of the best attacking setups I've ever seen
3 pins, rook on the b-file staring down the queen, bishop-queen battery, knight delivering a triple fork. Just stunning.
14:03 eric you dirty man that was brutal
Hi Eric! This video made it's way to CZcams. (: Thanks for sharing all the games!
39:09 Eric says a bad word! 😱😱😱
Since ever the chess boom happened. Your content really levitate my interest in chess
Eric, at 235:47 Re3 has gotta be the most aesthetic move you've ever made including the aesthetic position, that is some alpha zero square control. And all starting with Kh1!!!
Great content, Thanks Eric.
It’s been 9 days, and I need more Rosen :(
very nice how you forced the stalemate, your a genius!
its always a good day when eric uploads multiple hours of instructive goodness
I needed this.
yay for sponsorship
Thanks for making going to sleep a bit easier!💙 Tinnitus is a horrible enemy to sleep but you make it easier. Thanks again.
It did make it to youtube! Well played eric! Learning chess because of you.
The game around 2:36:00 with the back rank mate with bishop and pawns controlling the black kind was really nice. I did not.understakd why you moved Kg2 instead of Bg2 in the position leading to that, he could have given the rook for the bishop and save the knight via d2-e4. Maybe he thought he'd be more active and with some extra pawns for the piece this way, but didn't spot the back rank weakness, which is very unusual! Good games!
This video came when i finished all your videos, exactly in time
Video production lookin crispy sir!
Loved watching you in the tournament, hope you're enjoying yourself in whatever your doing since the gibalter tourney. Because I'm going through Rosen withdrawals
- Gits_N_Shiggles
That first stalemate was DIRTY!!
whenever you hear eric say “oh this is a funny line” u know it’s about to get real juicy
That moment when playing E4 is "mixing it up"... pogchamp
Your premove skills are out of this world
Seeing eric with good lighting is really unsettling
"Ok moving up in the world" 😂 -Eric Rosen
I hate Eric’s videos. It’s not fair that he makes such good content, is such a nice guy, and makes 3 hour videos. Every time I watch his long videos thinking that I’ll get bored/tired and fall asleep while watching but no. His quality is so good and entertaining that I’m here at 2:30 with school the next day watching this man play chess
14:11 you gotta be kidding me..
Stalemate should've been named after Eric
Welp, oh no my good night's sleep.
Impressive performances lately between this and Gibraltar
Eric you played phenomenal! I noticed you played more moves that slowly improved your position more than I've seen you do before. Think playing classical again has helped?
1:03:37 I think the sneaker try is Bxf7+. If Kg7 then Bxg6+ with ideas of perpetual with the rook if Kxg6, and otherwise Bxh5 clears g4 for the king.
If Kf8 then Rd8+. Kxf7 is met with Rd2. Ke7 with Re8+ still hoping black takes the bishop.
Such chess. Much proud. Wow.
“I hope this video inspires you :)” It must be good when you have to say how proud you are in the intro haha
2:29:15 "it feels i am playing against my self, this opponant does not want to resign !"
2:29:50 some made it to this point ;-)
Bro that new camera got you looking like a movie star good stuff
"Accidentally rhyming is the first step to accidentally rapping" incredible wisdom
8:17 - Eric vs FM djano hilarious ending lol :)
An hour into this video, just wanted to say THANKS for all the chess knowledge! I'm finally reaching that 1200 ELO milestone. GM Rosen FTW!
I think your return to classical chess has increased your rating. GM Rosen is coming! Now you just need the right coach to get there
Also...
"It's not delivery its Djano" 8:18
This video is older I think. So it was before hw returned to otb chess
That ranindu_chess guy was awesome ngl. Gangster tactics all the way through
From the great play in Gibraltar and great play here so early in the year, I hope this is a sign to come of a great year of chess for you!
Fell asleep to this.Woke up and continued watching .Nice video.
rosen is so good i didnt even skip the audible ad
Thanks Eric
Eric, Please put this tournament on youtube!
Hope this is leading you closer to the road to GM. Im rooting for you to get that title
There is a lot of work required to become a GM. And I doubt he'll put it in. In the end, it's just a title. Prestige...
However. If he tries to he totally deserves. Would be awesome.
@@tobsi2256 i know but i kinda hope he ends up going for it
@@tobsi2256 basically the same amount of work to get the Im title but I'm sure you knew that
14:06 Classic rosen trap. These are more enjoyable than winning checkmate
2:33:30 that "ugly" bishop is involved in a beautiful finish.
GO ERIC WE ARE WITH U 🎉🎉🎉
That's great Eric!! I also just hit my highest ever rating today.
Eric you look great bro!
It did indeed make its way to CZcams
33:09 Eric missed nxg4 followed by kxg4 nf6 forking king and bishop and transposing into an endgame a pawn up
checked the comments to see if anyone mentioned this.
Nice camera btw, you look very warm with it :)
