Breaking 2200 in lichess.org Puzzles | Puzzler's Paradise - IM Eric Rosen

[@Fabroskii]

Eric Rosen is the best. He's so educational while still being friendly and accessible - no hint of egotism like some other youtube chess players. Wish I could meet this guy IRL.

[@irradiatedbadger]

Which chess KZbinrs are you referring to?

[@irradiatedbadger]

@Addict C ahh okay, makes more sense. I thought he meant kingscrusher or something haha.

[@vatsala6497]

@@irradiatedbadger yah kc is great but sometimes...all those loud chess streamers are just a bit iffy sometimes...

[@archer5614]

Great video and really instructive, in the last problem, not many IM's would admit like Eric does that the puzzle is beyond his level - good guy!

[@myself6493]

yeah after see the solution i think that too...the puzzle is hikaru or carlsen level puzzle...hikaru solve this type of puzzle regularly but I agree eric is a nice guy.even an FM wouldn't admit that so easily.

[@psychologiekanaal8415]

eric is such a nice guy. I really enjoyed this video.

[@edmis90]

I swear I'm like a snail compared to how fast the audience solved the first, easy, puzzles - but at the same time I'm like an eagle compared to how inaccurate they "solved" the harder puzzles. They be weird.

[@cimadev]

Maybe you solve these things relatively slow but see very much. In the first few, you solve them slow, and there is not much to see, and later on there will be more to see, so in the same time you see much more.

[@luizjardel5511]

the audience didnt solve anything. They were just guessing.

[@populouswonder5490]

It’s cause the harder puzzles are more step-wise. If you find one good move you find the next one easily

[@kindatim1798]

I wish I was like that. I'm really fast but not really good lol

Thanks man

[@rmendeljacobs2832]

Only listened to 44 seconds of this video so far and I'm loving everything about it! I love when you include everyone to work together and I love the idea of solving puzzles!!! This video is so amazing. Really helps me learn.thanks so much and I hope your streams can include this sometime as well!!!

Puzzles can be a fun way to improve your game. Definitely have noticed a difference after puzzles. Currently at 2264 and aiming for 2900+

[@CazzoneMagrolino]

How can you aim at 2900+? Not even 3200 Elo GMs have such a high puzzle rating on Lichess, Are you Magnus Carlsen?

[@jere3604]

[@asiamies9153]

yeah, there's like 20 puzzles rated over 2800

[@SR-ti6jj]

Such a humble and talented teacher. That last puzzle was a really interesting position. Thanks for this!

[@sage5296]

I dislike some lichess puzzles as it’s never something like winning pawns which is also very important and sometimes it’s like get 2 rooks for the queen but allow ridiculous counterplay where the other side has far easier play and you need perfect accuracy just to keep an edge

[@evi9740]

Zander Rossman I like puzzles.

[@mikecantreed]

Yea I much prefer chesstempo.

[@siralfrednobel]

what are you talking about?does it mean it dont go with engine's first choice?

In any case puzzles are not meant for to entertain but to train you.

[@antonsebastian6484]

But it is free :)

[@misterchocolate9101]

I think at 8:18 the main point was that if white move the b2 bishop, black can play Be4. Bf2 is met with Kf1

[@adityakhadilkar204]

Very instructive Eric Sir

[@raghavsh8560]

We need more eric!

[@mathaibince5843]

Please how you get this hand with showing the yellow green arrow

[@adityachaudhry7566]

34:36 bishop captures on g6 forces checkmate, unless i am missing a potential defense here.

[@alfafanet]

fxg and it seems to me black is safe.

[@turmouthmontagne4818]

Problem at 7:07 would have deserved better analysis. Kf1 move was important and the computer move was not testing.

[@taoon8327]

Kf1 when? after Re2? That hangs the bishop still

[@AlecMcGail]

53:34 getting stronger by trying to lift weights you can't pick up at first 😂

lol, i watched 20 minutes of this video and pickup up 100 more points on chess.com tactics. Nice Eric

[@creativeideas8122]

Good afternoon, sir. You are doing great ..... amazing chess video content... I have lichess puzzle rating around 2323. What you suggest? Solving puzzles via lichess or from book ?

[@queengambit9000]

eric ronsen vs eric hansen who will win?

[@SathvickSatish]

Seif Gamal same but I’m 1300

[@BrennenChua]

Wow, really? I was thinking bullet rating would be puzzle less around 200. I believe you're bound to increase your game rating sooner or later.

[@TheOmniscientAtheist]

I'm 1700 on puzzles and only 1200-1300 in actual games.

[@Picsounognosse]

I'm a 900 player and my puzzle rating is 2600

[@Lion-ee1mq]

On lichess I'm 2000-2100 tactics and about 1500 classical. I feel underrated but still.. something is wrong with my game. And blitz and bullet I straight up can't play.

[@Metamor-phosis]

Great video! Thanks for this. Love the channel!

[@simpsimps553]

At 40:40, why is there so many arrows, just show the pieces moved to make it clear. Bad teacher

[@Sough]

Not allowed to move the pieces during a puzzle

[@CouncilOfTheLostGoats]

I'm currently like a 2100 in puzzles but I have a rating of 1400. I feel like it's not a very good indicator of skill.

[@levinies2187]

At 8:12 what is the problem after Bc1 Bf2+ Kf1?

[@JJoeSilver]

It forks the rook on c5

[@levinies2187]

JJoeSilver uh yeah but your king is attacking the rook on e2

[@brettmcintyre6329]

39:00 a monster move is rook e7 which is why queen takes is too slow.

[@alfafanet]

1. ... Qxd1 2. Re7 Qxd6 And I think black is fine

[@alexanderhall8474]

Nice video could you please do a video about the catalan for White

[@TheMadrory]

5:44 This puzzle has me confused. I saw all the options, but the move order made a huge difference to the outcome. I can't seem to see ahead deep enough to figure that problem out, without using a separate board to track the moves... Does that limit me forever at 1600, or is there a way to improve the depth of my calculations?

[@itboznkgvjugjtfg]

Just be very patient, some puzzles might take hours, but explore all possibilities, triple check, evaluate, look all over the board, recognize opponents threats, search for targets, loose pieces, etc. If you fail a puzzle, dwell on what have you missed and how could have you spotted the solution. Even if you solve it correctly, take some time to let the reasoning behind the solution sink in. Sometimes it comes down to just crunching the numbers. But often in easier (and some harder) puzzles there are patterns to be found. Perhaps you could benefit from the Practice option on Lichess, by learning these patterns. Good luck :)

[@pramanverma6209]

Can someone please give me the link for the last puzzle? Thank-you.

[@sengunvolkan]

29:58 why rook went for c5 when queen could go e3 and then take black's pawn at e5?

[@arvindafaria]

Rook was hanging at e5. Had to move

[@warrenbigelow539]

46:42 Isn't the threat an attack by the rook on black's queen, with a revealed check, losing the queen???

[@megalopolik7309]

Checkmate is better than winning a queen, no?

[@achyuththouta6957]

@@megalopolik7309 It's still won. If you win the queen there's no way you'll end up losing. If you won the queen you can easily win the game considering you play decently well.

[@KumarGaurav23]

Thanks a lot Eric Rosen ... I reached 2286 puzzle rating from 2000... Keep sharing 😊😊

[@ammar_arsiwala]

what's your lichess rating?

[@kingkunta9412]

At 21:03, what happens if black just plays Kc3? And after Rxc8 Kxf2 there is no good check and black is only down a pawn?

[@kingkunta9412]

sorry meant kf3

[@VincentFarrugia]

Nice shirt!

[@334gamer9]

What is their intro music?

[@IronMaidenEE]

13:55 Rxh1 isn't an option too? Black is threatening Qxg3, and I don't see how it can be defended

[@IronMaidenEE]

ALAKTORN thanks did not notice that

[@adampeer7111]

puzzle 33:48 be4xg6 threatening mate in 1. f7xbg6 Rf1xRf8 check Kxf8 Bd4xBc5 check If queen takes, then free queen If K moves along back rank, we have queen and rook to join attack Thoughts or is the line too messy? Still up a bishop and queens on board but blacks king very exposed.

[@Reliquancy]

the only reason I still do the ones on chess.com is they keep track of your rating since you first started and you can see a nice graph, I wish they worked on that on li chess a bit

[@Reliquancy]

theres a graph on li chess too but it only shows like your last 20 puzzles or something on chess.com i can see over the years improvement

[@MichelNabil]

But lichess is free, unlike chess.com, not everyone is filthy rich to be able to afford premium membership for chess.com

[@unarei]

They have that now

[@nuclearfish2380]

14:45 puzzle. RxE4 BxE4 PD3 w/ discover check from QB6 King moves or RF2 PxNE2 with threat to queen. QxE2 THEN you PxBG5 That way, as black, you are a rook down, but a bishop and knight up. NE5 is also still an option. Is this not a better position? And if not, why?

[@SlightSmile]

2 pieces for a rook is worse than a piece - although you'd still be winning.

What is name of music on 0:20 ?

[@majinmew4694]

I know this is old but at 19:00 couldn't u move rook to C6? It traps the knight, he has no safe squares to move to. Well I guess he just plays his rook into c

[@nanni5230]

Ah nice. Rc6!! A novelty... almost. Bxc6 looks kinda bad

[@NicholasKlacsanzkyICM]

I think Lichess is much easier in terms of getting a high tactics rating than Chess.com. I tried for many months to get 2200 on Chess.com and managed at best 2160, and I got 2200 in three days on Lichess.

[@danieljensen6154]

What about at 18:00 Knight to b5?

[@hudsonperls]

No because axb5

[@kahwigulum]

My problem being a beginner is that these sorts of set ups and variations never seem to occur with unskilled opponents. They tend to play wild nonsense that feels good rather than following any sort of logic. It's difficult to learn anything because your opponents aren't followed the 'accepted' moves. And since these sorts of variations aren't covered by IM's for example, I don't feel like my game improves at all and I just lose game after game because I don't know how to respond to my opponents silliness.

[@warhag]

kahwigulum use the computer analysis and find the first move that lost you the advantage and remember that one. after some time you will see a pattern or you find many blunders that you didnt punish after doing that you will just laugh and demolish people

[@ilikecommenting6849]

You need to be a bit more honest to yourself. If your opponents are playing silly moves, you should be crushing them. If you can’t refute those silly moves it simply means that your playing strength is too low to refute the move.

[@sussymi]

8.13 after Re2 if white plays Bc1 and Bf2+, there is kf1 attacking the black rook. How does black win then?

[@rony5872]

After Re2,if bc1 then the threat is be4 with the rook and bishop converting on g2 with no efficient way to stop it, there is no mate or anything it’s just a pawn but white has so much play to go for, a far better position. That’s why the computer prefers to sac the exchange after re2 to prevent be4 by black. I feel like eric completely missed kf1 after bf2+

[@sussymi]

Fley Thanks for pointing out that be4 leads to a strong position for black. So after be4 if white makes a useless move like a3, then Rxg2+ kf1 I guess there is rh2, threatening rh1+. So instead of a3, maybe better for white is Rc4, Rxg2+ Kf1 Bf3 Rd3 Rf2+ Kg1 Be2 Rd2 Rf1+ Kg2 Bxc4 bxc4 Rxc1

[@rony5872]

Yes a3, is just a useless move and Rh2 threatening rh1+ is a possible follow up. But in the other line u gave there is a slight mistake:Rc4 R×g2+ Kf1 black cant play here bf3 because his other bishop on h4 would be hanging so if bf3 white plays R×h4 and black here cant play b×d1 because black's rook is hanging on g2 the king would simply take it. After Rc4 the best defense for black is bringing his other rook to e8 to defend the bishop on e4, if white sacs the exchange on e4 and plays r×e4 then u must play Rf2+ fist defending this way ur rook on the 2nd, kg2 and only then u can play r×e4 taking back the rook

[@sussymi]

Fley hmm isn't there a white pawn on f4 preventing Rxh4? But I agree that bringing in the other rook is still very good for black.

[@blakem.trimble9942]

The last tactic when they analyzed it and looked at it after the pawn was misplace,

I dont get it. I could solve all the puzzles easily except for the last one. But my lichess puzzle rating is 1900(blitz 1600). And the puzzles dont show their rating either

[@TimJapan]

Once I get into the mid 2200's I'm like a yoyo. Definately it get's exponetially harder

[@gauravsinghmd]

I remembered most of these puzzles. Especially the last one.

[@ashwin3233]

35:13, we could have taken the White's bishop by our bishop, bishop d4×C5 , and attacking their rook, black queen wouldn't capture it for obvious reasons and then once the black moves his rook, we can can play d6 and pin the queen to rook and the queen wouldn't be able to take our bishop because our rook is supporting it

[@JJoeSilver]

Your Queen is hanging in that line

[@ashwin3233]

JJoeSilver when we capture the bishop if the opponent capture the queen, we can just take his rook or pin the queen to the rook, and the pawn structure of black would be bad and king is kinda exposed, we are up a bishop and a rook and his king side pawn structure is spoiled while he is up a queen.

[@rommelferia3786]

[@neilh.4385]

Why are my 1900-level puzzles so much harder than these 2100+ rated puzzles?? I'm seeing the answers immediately

[@ChessJourneyman]

Could it be because of the narration - every puzzle is obvious once you see it solved.

[@TheDortam888]

I must say that as a new player to lichess (two weeks account) the tactics i had were exactly the same (in the same order) which makes me kinda doubt their voting system efficiency instead of random problem generator.

[@quelqunx7470]

I broke 2600 at some point, it's pretty tough and sometimes I spend hours, even days to calculate variations. It's pretty straight forward, just don't play until everything is figured out! (I'm only 1950 in blitz, 2000 in classic. )

[@Papapapapa78]

Lmao, I'm 2200 and I'm a 1600 ELO player 😂 puzzles do not necessarily translate to your games

[@GymChess]

It's not about breaking anything. It's about keeping it there and that's the challenge. I had 2740 and lost 500-700 points. Ever since I've been anywhere between 2300-2500 after solving more than 32,000 puzzles. Getting back to 2700+ seems impossible due to all the blunders. Everybody climbs fast in the begging. But after thousands of puzzles it's a completely different thing.

[@achyuththouta6957]

I kind of don't like that a lot of points get deducted for making a small mistake. Your move might be a good move which could still give you advantage but still if it's not the best you lose points like mad. You get like 5-6points for solving a puzzle and you solve one wrong and you lose something like 15 points. This sucks

I don't think so. I have reached 2200 (got very near to 2300 but failed to reach it) but now fairly above 2000, mostly between 2100-2200. And I think my FIDE rating could be around 1400-1500 (haven't played any rated tournament yet)

[@Danielmoen88]

@@CazzoneMagrolino . My lichess ratings are 2100-2200 across all time controls. I see too many 1500s-1600s boasting 2500+ puzzle ratings. Its meaningless in the context of an actual game.

@@MrSupernova111 I have to agree with you, my puzzle Elo is 2100 on Lichess but I don't even have a game Elo because I've never played a game. I started playing chess one month ago. Do you also have a FIDE rating? That's a pretty high ELO, you are basically equivalent to a FIDE's CM.

[@MrSupernova111]

@@CazzoneMagrolino . I find it interesting that people love doing the puzzles but not playing so much. No, I'm in the USA and my rating is years old so it doesn't reflect my current strength. I expect that my USCF rating is 2000-2100 so that might be in line with your guess. I do run into CMs, NMs, and even FMs on lichess on a regular basis but I think I need to be in the 2300-2400 rating range on lichess to comfortably say that I'm playing at NM or CM level.

@@MrSupernova111 how long have you been playing chess? I like puzzles because I like the mental calculation part of chess. I won't ever become a very good player as I'm already 24 y/o, there are so many things to memorise and there are people who basically have interlizaed this stuff as a second language since they were kids. Still, i can use chess to train my mind, everyone can calculate deep into the lines just like a GM with enough focus and mental sharpness.
