Sometimes I get the impression that Eric's playing strength is directly correlated with the strength of his opponent.

[@chessmates2824]

Same! I also work that way. My winrate against 2000s is only slightly less than my winrate against 1600s.

[@Michael-vf2mw]

@@chessmates2824 It seems to be especially strong with Eric... he's beaten Magnus twice, and has also lost to a 900... But yeah, I work that way to an extent as well... I actually have a win against Rosen (I'm roughly 1900-2000 strength, but was an underrated 1600 at the time), but also lose to 1400s occasionally.

[@freds_chess]

[@adeadgirl13]

Eric Rosen might not be the GOAT, but he definitely is the calmest chess streamer in the world. His videos are the only ones I watch with full volume coz he talks so softly and I know he's never going to suddenly scream and make my ears bleed. BTW The Botez sisters can do that even at the lowest volume.

[@alrineusaldore6764]

18:03 Not only did Eric see Magnus playing Qf1, he predicted it before Magnus played it and hovered his queen to take Magnus' queen right before Magnus played that move

[@kasparpaukson3543]

Hey this comment is to improve viewer engagement and get your videos more recommended. Also, 1. e4 e5 2. Nf3 Qe7! is underrated, in many positions you have a queenside castle trick, where the opponent takes your a pawn with their dark squared bishop and you can push b6 and block the bishop in unless they find a4-a5. Not to mention you have very off beat g5 and b5 breaks in some positions. The engine says its bad, but you get into very messy positions, only thing you gotta remember is that dont give the d5 square to your opponents knight and you're golden. Oh and it's name is ofc the Gunderam Defence
