[@JacobTGrave]

Oh no my missed stalemate! 😅 Thank you so much for the game Eric, it was a pleasure to play you OTB :) Well done finding e7 in the middle game, I completely overlooked that resource, and other than that it seems like my rook endgames need some serious work. In fact, there were so many "gravey" mistakes throughout the game that I thought the video might be uploaded on Thanksgiving! Regardless of the blunders, I'm happy I got the chance to play you and I'm looking forward to the next time we face off 😊

[@gilgamesh5411]

great game! well played

[@bunpeishiratori5849]

I’m quite impressed with the way people from other countries can read and write English as well as they do. Here’s a young man from Norway and he comes across as a native speaker of English. Amazing.

[@FrogToadBug]

​@@bunpeishiratori5849Norwegians and Scandinavians in general are particularly good English speakers, I think they learn it in school.

[@metrifiko_mag]

You are a great player! Good game!

[@billsmith8397]

You're a beast man, good game!

[@evandealy3493]

Ah yes, the four basic human emotions Sad😢 Happy🙂 Omg😱 Deep gambit😈

[@henryaggerate9669]

These recaps are stressful if you don’t know the result ahead of time (like me). Eric’s commentary is ambiguous enough that you can’t tell if he won lost or drew. Solid stuff Those bishops on the h file were pretty funny

[@MaxIronsThird]

Eric already played all games, he just hasn't uploaded them yet.

[@diabl2master]

I don't find it stressful, rather exciting. It's nice to wonder how it's gonna turn out.

[@AdrianWan]

I don't even play chess but I am really enjoying these recaps. It's probably your soothing voice, good-naturedness, wry humor, and thoughtfulness. Keep being awesome, and thanks for working to make these recaps in the middle of an already intense tournament!

[@Romaoplays]

Your opponent seems like a pretty funny dude, I was rooting for him after the ‘Grave mistake’ line lmao

[@MrYourDry]

Eric Rosen for president! Of whatever country he is in.

[@CarlOfHoly]

We don't have a president in Norway. So he has to settle for king 👑

[@weakw1ll]

Probably Tahiti or sm shit

[@Thebiggestgordon]

A lot of his videos are tagged St Louis, so I think he lives in Missouri. But right now he’s doing a chess comp in Norway.

[@MrYourDry]

@@CarlOfHoly No, King wouldn't be good enough. Now we have to make him Emperor!

[@joeb4142]

Eric transcends mere country borders. He is the end all and be all who likes tea and the Stafford gambit.

[@ImaginaryHuman072889]

how poetic that you gambit a pawn and end up with a draw down a pawn at the end

[@richardlabrie515]

Funny how Eric thinks we are good enough at chess to get spoilers from the notation

[@peterhawes9680]

That missed stalemate is 'Oh no my rook' and also a sacrifice of The ROOOOK.

[@witcher-86]

thanks for the game analysis, tough fight, lovin' these recaps! Just shows how tricky endgames are even with little material

[@1a1u0g9t4s2u]

Really enjoy your recaps. Thanks for sharing.

[@lemacke2755]

omg! I talked about that draw idea at the end in the lichess chat!

[@a_wild_Kirillian]

This a very good video on endgames, thank you, Eric

[@DoubleDYouTube]

Wow, what a game. Thanks for all the recap content, Eric!

[@jamesduggan7200]

Yeah, you get into one of those marathon rook endings and come away either saying: "Wow, chess is rich and strange", or "this game is such a waste of time". Years ago I would choose the latter but lately I find myself more sympathetic with the former. Thanks, and enjoy!

[@GaryTheGray]

It was no Grave mistake that I just bought the hoodie,.

[@gammaknife167]

Hi Eric! I think there's an important endgame resource you missed. In the rook and pawn endgame (don't know the exact move, sorry) you claim you can't take the pawn on b6, since you'll lose the pawn on a3. I believe that endgame is a theoretical draw however, and a very easy position to draw at that. Your rook can sit on a7, keeping his room behind his a-pawn and keeping his king trapped on the 8th rank. Your king can shuffle to occupy the h pawn. Yasser Seirawan talks about it in his endgame book I believe. EDIT: In the endgame afterwards, I think the rook needs to hold the a-pawn that the black rook is behind, and the white king needs to stay in the bottom left corner. Trying to switch sides of the king and rook is anti-thematic I think?

[@elnekroxxiga]

Thank you for these amazing recaps, Eric!

[@darrenjohnston7817]

What a game, Eric! Thanks for uploading so quickly. Very impressive even though it didn’t turn out as an outright win.

[@msio625]

I've been really enjoying these recaps. Thank you Eric Rosen. :)

[@Salvatawr]

I love these recaps :)

[@michaelf8221]

the number of times you busted out the "Grave mistake" line this video haha

[@Chess_Improvement]

nice game, keep strong and solid play!!

[@ramons.5002]

Wow! Great game

[@ClemensAdolphs]

17:04 I thought a bug was attacking me :D

[@potato4dawin1]

Pawns get promoted when they reach the end of the board. Merch gets promoted when we reach the end of the video. I just thought that was a funny observation

[@nikitaovsov8687]

Rf8 in the final position even cooler

[@spand1222]

Im not saying this as a harassment, but i can always get such good sleeps while watching your videos, u have a really calm voice, so thanks.😇😊

[@em4six348]

Hoping that he ate his dinner before recording this one 🙏

[@trollthis]

Hopefully you're getting enough rest! Between commentating and recording upload editing and prepping planning and playing, I got tired just typing this.

[@mcronrn]

3:56 Eric didn’t prep for the top engine move (per my IPhone Lichess Analysis) and top choice by Lichess players, b6?

[@tapygar9347]

Eric is lefthanded? Wow 25:58

[@juhokarvonen668]

just had to go for the gambit😂

[@НиколайШерстюк-ы7е]

And then he sacrifices THE BIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIISHOP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@borschevsky]

Rf8 stalemate at the end too :)

[@volodyadykun6490]

What emotion is this

[@lartan18]

Surprising you havent mentioned the fire

[@rock6606]

At 7:37, is Ng3 not strong? Allows the rook check but after Kf8, two pieces are hanging. If Bg4, f5 seems like a reasonable move with the knight defending it.

[@wesamnadir665]

Next 😍 I fall in love during chess game

[@creepylavalamp]

Savage!!

[@harleykf1]

I'm pretty sure any move for black at 24:30 leads to the exact same outcome.

[@chrisgk7494]

The title should be changed to grave gambit!

[@SPIRITofHEDONE]

What's emotion is 😈

[@Jacobmathews.]

Only Eric would gambit in a classical tournament game.

[@Kellestial]

Anyone else thinks this camera angle makes him look like a deep fake?

[@psyrider666]

4.19 bishop is not protected or m I stupid somehow 🤣

[@betabenja]

16:58 sorry Eric, I'm just pausing the video as a friend is calling me. oh no, it's on the video and I have no friends. please continue. oh I need to unpause.

[@fitimismani1201]

21:25 i think u should have gone for Rf6 to cut of the enemy king going ti the pawn

[@mattriarchal]

I am torn between eric and a fellow chessbrah

[@JamesSully]

7:08 after rb3 is there not cxd4?

[@Frozen0wl]

Yeah I also thouht about the same thing. What is preventing him?

[@shadou1234567]

Probably keeping the castle option open

[@HrykoRules]

If cxd4 you open up the dark squares bishop, and now white can take on e6 because if Kd7 you can play either Rd6+ or Re7+ which is not good for black

[@JamesSully]

@@HrykoRules makes sense, thanks

[@SmolOperator]

The recent emojis strike again

[@volodyadykun6490]

Emojis strike sound like drone strike. Or student strike or something

[@joeb4142]

Lol why are you up so early? Oops VOD my bad.

[@tylermathews6788]

Not calling the video "grave mistake" was the final grave mistake

[@jjabrahms157]

Whats the next emoji?

Thank you Eric rosen for existing !! 🤍 There's no count of Gambits and traps that i learnt from you....🥀

[@jamesb8510]

Love seeing these videos every day. Classical analysis scratches a different kind of chess itch

[@cloud_chaysa6446]

First

[@mrpocock]

When you have fully decompressed after the tournament is over it would be awesome if you could do a video with a summary of your key analysis learning points drawn from your games.

[@devilbob]

07:17 Wait, What about NG3 in that position? Looks like it is white Bishop who is trapped, not black Knight. There will be something like this: ... - NG3 BG4 - H5 KH2 (F4 is worse, because you'll leave e4 square for the Knight) - HxG4 KxG3 - GxH3 And I think this is just better for the black with the extra pawn at the end

[@devilbob]

And you can't take a pawn at e6 at any point, because after Kf8 both rook and bishop will hang

[@kendragonesgamer3506]

@@devilbob rxe6 and after kd7 bxf7

[@JacobTGrave]

Great question! I remember calculating something similar during the game, but I was worried about lines like Ng3 Rxe6+ Kf8 dxc5!? (oh no my rook) fxe6 cxb6+ kg7 b7! and the position becomes unclear with my rook being trapped in the corner. Still it might somehow be objectivly good to grab the pawn, but i figured it was unnecessary to give him such counterplay and I thought consolidating my extra pawn up should be enough, and therefore completing development was my main focus.

[@devilbob]

@@JacobTGrave In that line I think it is save to play: dxc5 - bxc5 Bxc5 - Kg7 And there are no good checks, white pieces are still hanging. Tough position to fully calculate actually, better run it all with the engine, but I belive that Black will be better at the end

[@SanderBessels]

I’d rather watch a Rosen video with “grave misstakes” than a Carlsen video strangling his opponent to death, squeezing water from a stone, not even caring or trying his best, just to subtly insult, mock or disrespect his opponent. If I want to watch perfect chess, I can watch Stockfish or Alpha Zero games. Erik’s ideas are smart enough so I would never come up with them, but not so smart that it’s impossible to follow. Thanks for making chess so enjoyable every time!

[@fujiapple9675]

That's so cool that he's a long time viewer! I'm sure he has great insight in what you play!

[@JacobTGrave]

Yes, I love watching Eric, he is such a great guy! I have been watching him for about 5-6 years and we actually had our first game together about four years ago kzbin.info/www/bejne/r2LdmaaLj5iksNE&ab_channel=EricRosen. I had some idea about what he might try, and I got quite lucky as I actually predicted his prep and checked this line up until the b6-c5 idea (including Ng5 against Bf3) :))

[@rideroftheforce5245]

Haven’t watched the video yet, I’m just amazed that Eric isn’t late for dinner! 😂

[@zoe7696]

i like Rf8 more than Rg1 Rf1

[@zacharygrouwinkel1534]

I’m halfway through the game and all I can hear is Levy yelling at this guy, calling him a 600 because he forgets about his rook on a8

[@jackfarnsworth791]

No, Kd2 was a Rosen Mistake

[@LlamaBG]

promote the merch at the start of the video, bro

[@rayclay2]

have a safe and fun trip to your next destiny IMRosen~!❤😎 hi twitch

[@HighlyCruciferous]

Why offer a draw in a bad position ? Isn't that bad etiquette ?
