A Different Opening Every Game

In this full stream of the Daily Rapid Arena, I play a different opening every game. Note that I get surprised by the Alien Gambit in the game at 54:14, which was featured last month on my main channel. If you've already seen it, feel free to skip over it. All time stamps are below.

[@jadethronson9675]

This one is called the homework gambit

[@leandro8897]

😂 I'm living for this gambit. It's kinda op to be honest

[@joeybaddog398]

My main repertoire!

[@danhegner7410]

Good lord! The calculation at 7:15 made my head spin… lol

[@kolleivory2422]

For real man, i really tried to follow Eric‘s train of thought but goddamn this was spicy. 😂

[@mikebaker2436]

What's crazy is after all that... white moves the bishop and is better. 😅

[@SportsClipsCEO]

At 8:59, is that not a free bishop? Or am I missing something. Not that it really matters, position was crushing either way

[@eltsacwen2302]

Yeah I thought the same thing as you so went looking in the comments to see if someone else mentioned it

[@LordTreyHowdy]

It was more important to play connect 5 instead

[@eltsacwen2302]

@@LordTreyHowdyyeah pretty sure that’s accurate

[@5aax]

6:39 An all-timer for calculation arrow art

[@joeb4142]

“So white officially has the bishop pair. But I have the knight pair.”

[@willwhite1842]

19:43 “I could also take, take and then take, because if take then take and then take and then take… the problem is that there’s take, take, take, and then take… on b7” 😂

[@EnglishroG]

Really entertaining and instructive - thanks for posting.

[@efarmer385]

bro the mate around 1:08:55 was epic

[@rmendeljacobs2832]

lol fun games to watch, Eric you missed a free bishop 9:00

[@solomontruthlover5308]

Love your content as always, also endgames are not boring, especially the way you play them with checkmate always in mind.

[@Nippleless_Cage]

I finished right under Eric in this arena 😊 I felt like he gave me the Midas touch.

[@rhoddryice5412]

1:28:48 Thanks for the cool endgame lesson. You should make it a standalone video.

[@boftungol9423]

45:14 I don't know if I'm tripping, but I just saw if they take our queen, Knight takes f6 Kh8, Bg7!! Kxg7 Nxe8 winning back the queen with a fork. I haven't watched to see if Eric plays this but that's crazy. Edit: He didn't play it, I'm sure he missed a chance that's heartbreaking.

[@Bruhong99]

I saw that too and was wondering if I missed something!! He didnt end up playing it though :(

[@the_chess_geek]

Came to the comment to write this. Glad I could spot it

[@averydugaw4346]

"IM EricRosen is a Lichess Patron for 66 months 5 days ago" bro what is with this number 6 obsession?

[@cabooseftw1]

😊

[@pasanflo]

on 45:54 I was hoping you played Nf6 Kh8 Bg7 forcing king takes and forking everything

[@the_chess_geek]

I came to the comment section to write this It's a very beautiful tactic. Glad I could spot it

[@thetransferaccount4586]

nice caro kann games in here

[@SaintD382]

Ktahar (41:17) played more like an 800 player than an 1800 player.

[@Rasta8889]

1:51:27 Reference to Marge Gunderson, protagonist of the movie Fargo

[@tolkienfan1972]

Knight on the rim forks two forks

[@tomkelley4119]

I just hope my boy is happy.

[@ryanbreighner7408]

If you’re talking about eric l, don’t even worry about it

[@garys5175]

Rosen rocks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@nicohanley1816]

oh no my opening

[@kingberzerk]

Dear Eric, Tarrasch is pronounced with the emphasis on the first vocal and a strong last "sh".

[@nobodylovesditto]

Eric, I mean this politely. Please never mention milking the pork content again. That's a terrifying mental image.

[@kruksog]

Heyyyyy, I made nearly the same comment. Glad to see someone else noticed that amalgamation of words, lol.

[@solidcents2761]

Just in time time to catch some zzzzz’s

[@thilaksalivahanan2342]

Hi Eric please mention rapid or Blitz in the thumbnail as it gives an idea

[@mpfiesty]

So how do I subscribe for free with my Prime account?

[@EricRosenExtra]

[@liberatesweden2404]

What is the plan for today?? ❤

[@tripprolle]

Who else saw the Bg7 line at 46:00

[@the_chess_geek]

Hi, saw it

[@i9ajcoi107]

🎈 (art)

[@mstorgaardnielsen]

I think I’ve seen this before…?

[@adrianmedina8292]

Eric I need tea suggestions

[@kruksog]

Can't go wrong with Barry's Irish breakfast.

[@kruksog]

Play a scotch gambit for me sometime please.

[@kruksog]

"there was a phase where I was milking the pork content." Eric, please be careful with how you choose to use the english language. ❤

[@KironKabir]

[@ConfuzedFx]

ALIEN GAMBIT!! BRILIANT!! !! !! !!

[@prenomnom6203]

would be interested if you weren't playing against traffic cones only

[@GoneApe47]

Game 2 move 16 @imrosen missed a free bishop
