Don’t worry it’s a gambit

I love playing the Homework Gambit watching these videos!

That's one of my favorites, coupled with the responsibilities gambit!

i’ve probably fallen to sleep to eric’s videos more than i’ve naturally fallen asleep lol. so relaxing

[@GoodnightMoon666]

Eric's gentle gasp when under-promoted checkmate came is so adorable

[@TheRazeryan]

It was very great 😌

[@icampabadals]

@6:12 you gotta include the timestamp my man but i gotchu

[@DeBert]

That first game is already beautiful!

[@LastManStanding2012]

3 hours of Eric. Oh no my plans for today :(

[@specimenseven]

I'm glad you said something because I just clicked on the video and did not realize how long it was.

[@umershaikh7179]

lol I just put in my watch later and watch a few games a day... you really watch all at once?..

[@ILikedGooglePlus]

Eric has the heart of a teacher? Give it back!

[@sashaboydcom]

Eric serial killer confirmed

[@pyrokinetikrlz]

"These games are ending in crazy time scrambles".... "let's berserk back" :D

[@paulgriffin5605]

Thanks!

[@shaikhaliaman7000]

1:41:17 isn't Eric just winning a piece after Qxd6??

[@ibrahimhigazi293]

He could take the pishop i guess

[@BrieucP]

yeah I was wondering as well

[@jrmdlt]

Indeed, the bishop is hanging. After Qxd6, it's pretty much resigns for black (+7.5) : up a minor and a pawn

[@definoryan6059]

i just commented the same xD

[@afnankhan7086]

I think he didn't see that or was afraid of Rb2 Ne4 stuff....

[@johnchessant3012]

1:19:05 Eric sacks a rook, bishop, and knight

[@radosawkarwacki4386]

Interestingly, this sac is not winning. After Qxe3+, Kh1 and white survives. Kh2 loses though.

[@MatsMatsuo]

my day was ruined when i checked the engine and it says it is a bad sac because white plays Kh1 and survives with a winning position, black can't checkmate because the queen is glued to the rook on e8, if it moves without check, white's queen takes on e8 mate

[@robang3473]

01:20:10 rank 69 Eric: nice

[@weetabixharry]

I really hope Gotham doesn't find this and do one of his yelling videos.

[@thehumanpractice2985]

Wow what an opener of a game

[@PiercingSight]

1:18:49 - That's just absurd. That's gotta be one of the most insane mating sequences I've ever seen.

[@reflectivezx]

Too bad it's not winning after Qxe3+ Kh1

[@UnfoldedDoll]

1:09:30 “Knight takes, I mate. Queen takes, I lose a pawn.” 😂

[@definoryan6059]

just curious, at 1:41:08 instead of Qxd7 Kxd7 Bxd6 Kxd6, why dont you take the black bishop (Qxd6)?

[@mohamedali6035]

Yes Im curious to know why black bishop was not taken with Queen will up a piece for Eric

[@SaintD382]

He just missed it. Incredible, but true. He didn't see it for some reason.

[@Martykun36]

after opening a few tabs the title got shortened into CRUSHING GRANDMAS and it was a bit upsetting for a moment there

[@andrewdavies7720]

Another amazing 3 hrs long chess enjoyment from Eric Rosen! 😊 Wait, I haven't checked if you have gathered all of your super long chess videos in a playlist. Let's go and check.

I watch these streams at night, i end up falling asleep, and i rewatch in the morning

[@uno-theofficialcardgamebyMatel]

Didn't expect such amazing play, and all without a duck. So proud of you Eric 👏

[@emilefremont6798]

Is anyone else watching rosen to fall asleep or relax ? XD

[@TheRazeryan]

Always, but never xD

[@scoutbane1651]

Yep he's one of my go-tos for falling asleep. Love his voice and demeanor. And the fact he never yells besides raising his voice a tad when surprised.

[@dalvanox]

Dark side of Rosen: "there we go" spoken softly like a psychopath enjoying the moment of a victim's last breath.

[@ramachandra776]

Return of Classical Eric . Hope to see GM Eric Rosen soon 🙂 . The duck army's general preparing to add another title .

[@JadenYukiBruceLee]

1:41:15 why can’t you take bishop with queen?

Game 1, underpromotes to a knight with mate vs. a GM. Ok, you've got my attention (as always)

[@luccalambert9869]

[@chakonrobinson2694]

1:30:07 can someone explain why the bishop can’t be took ??

[@szaccs]

because the white king is stuck, and Qxh4 checkmates

[@Chikov2]

@1:41:08 Why didn't you take the bishop with the Queen?

[@TymexComputing]

3 hours of titled, first Oh! at 6:10 :)

[@ougi_rk]

Hey Rosen, you are getting really good those past years, do you think you could achieve the gm norms to become GM Rosen?

[@_thank_you_]

the game against Muradli 1:27:55 looked like a jackson pollock painting of a game

[@andrewzuk8721]

What program/app are you running that allows you to move pieces around prior to actually moving?

Hearing Eric likes Pumpkin Spice is disheartening.

When you're in speedy heart rate mode, my heartrate hits about 120. When you're just playing a slow easy game, my heartrate is 120. I just have a crazy high heartrate because of all the sugar I ingest xD

Not only can you not monitor dopamine levels in real-time but you can't measure them at all. We have yet to find a way to measure neurotransmitters

[@antonignatenko7776]

love 3 min games

[@johnmcdonough955]

Around 58 minutes, dopamine levels real time, not to my knowledge because of invasive proceedure. MRI and subsequent analysis is real time possible if chess board communication in a non magnetic form is possible.

[@tristanrujano]

2:50 didn’t he just hang mate😂

No since the knight protect the h7 pawn

[@gweah7821]

Didn’t watch the video but the thumbnail is pawn promotes to Knight, checkmate I guess

[@josephsalmonte4995]

Can someone please explain why it'd be hard work for Eric to complete his GM norms when he beats GM's so regularly? He's rated as high as low GM online too 🤷‍♂️

[@joshuacrane]

Tournaments-where you get GM norms toward the GM title-with classical time controls are much harder to win versus online blitz time controls.

[@Aetheriaa]

I think he explained it somewhere too on youtube on why he's not a GM yet. (here's the vid: kzbin.info/www/bejne/r6SqlKmYr7yliLs )

[@MatsMatsuo]

If norms were possible to obtain from blitz OTB tournaments, he would be a GM, but classical format is just totally different. You need some next level of chess understanding to pull out some GM performances for the norm. I already defeated a WGM, and got a draw with an IM, and I’m often playing FMs and CMs, but all on blitz online, I would be obliterated from the opening on classical format

[@josephsalmonte4995]
