Hahaha

[@ErenMortel]

It’s amazing to be introduced to chess at such a young age, become an international master, and yet still be able to say, “I have never seen this line before.” Chess is truly spectacular

[@jamesbell1613]

True but that first one just showed he's human.

"There's someone asking for tricky english lines" Well, I know one : How much wood would a woodchuck chuck, if a woodchuck could chuck wood?

@@georgewashingtonballs5603 but it's mine and it's original and I hope Eric reads this and says it on stream please let's make it a thing

[@ploopybear]

Bro that's easy anyone can say that

[@alexmondro5377]

These are almost as tricky as saying “oh no my queen!”

[@GaryTheGray]

I never get these exact positions in real life, but I have seen a lot of board positions that remind me of some of your games, and it most often becomes a matter of board position and patterns. I find your KZbin and Twitch to be very instructional.

[@anzsai]

Didnt know the frontman of Oasis also plays chess....

[@joshhutsko5113]

At 5:45 why cant White knight to e8. Queen Hass him in check. Black king moves to g8 then white queen slides to g7 for mate isn't that the best move?

[@ArcG3]

Woah that's my name in the bottom right. I wonder if Alexa still remembers the answer to 53 factorial. Good thing you asked her loud enougj this time.

Good job on creating a quality chess videos and a wholesome chess community, at the time of my commenting there are 201 likes and 0 dislikes. I don't think I've ever seen a youtube video before with 0 dislikes. But you can't deny that minature is one of the best of all time. Does this mean that 6. Nge7 is losing by force?

[@HejneMiro]

I get the 4 knights english center fork all the time in rapid

[@zennxd941]

5:27 Does Qh4 lead to forced mate aswell or does black have a way to wiggle out?

[@jim2935]

i think the problem is h5

[@topunluky8084]

0:49 Why didn’t black take queen with knight ????????

[@ooSHINIES]

It's pinned to the king. White has bishop on b5.

[@perry_ellis]

Where are you streaming, can't catch you live in twitch dude

[@JamesJoyce12]

magnus played the bongcloud [magnus var] today in the final in game 1

[@abhijeetgore310]

Unique content

[@deepnarayanbanerjee4348]

Its very good

[@AquaticSkipper]

What tournament was this game played in? I'd love to watch it with commentary and can't find it anywhere, even searching databases etc

[@Cahnehg]

The Hikaru Magnus game he talks about was in the Chess 24 Legends of Chess iirc, it’s online and unrated so I doubt a database would have it. A twitch stream might have archived it but finding the whole game with commentary might be hard. chess24 might have it as well

[@AquaticSkipper]

@@Cahnehg thank you so much, I had a look into that and didn't find it but I'll dig deeper now and see

[@anvb5a1]

As the saying goes, queen on the rim is lol!

[@IsatrancI]

0:46 Nc6 0:49 Qxd5 ?????

[@eddiepooh5621]

Why not Nh6 on move 9? Wouldn't that be discover check then slide the queen to g7 mate because the knight defends the queen now

[@johnmeo1532]

Knight can take queen to eliminate the piece making the discovered check. The other line he showed with the black king going to g7 only works because the discovered check is actually double check, meaning the king can ONLY move to get out of check.

[@eddiepooh5621]

@@johnmeo1532 oh yeah that makes sense

[@talyanghibu3423]

6:03 Qh4 also works right!?

[@ankitjaiswal5616]

No because once pawn goes h5 it kills the forced mate and the game continues normally

[@Kreamations]

Why not just pawn f6 in the first one

[@ej9975]

@Kreamations pawn is pinned to the king

[@skridalthcrevasse2388]

Mr. Eric Rosen, when doing mental calculations of plausible/possible lines, do you mentally visualize the chess pieces in 2-Dimensional form, as is the case for numerous virtual chess games, or in 3-Dimensional form, as is the case for in-person gameplay?
