“My brand is tea and calmness”... *flags an 1800 with 60ms in the bank*

I can't even play bullet. The fact that he berzerks on a 1 minute game is just wild to me.

11:26 - 'Yeah, I am very happy. Rook is smiling, knight has a friend' :)))

Eric is such a nice guy. You get the feeling he'd be a pleasant guy to hang out with.

[@bluething1429]

Eric @28:03 : "I was much better, then I was maybe worse, then I think was losing and then I was better again, and then I was winning. I almost flagged, but then I mated" Me: "I was losing then I flagged"

[@ApathyLight]

I mean 8:52 ....

What a roller coaster

[@daredbreast]

[@daredbreast]

and before that "probably just gonna sac the exchange " whilst simultaneously doing it then comes "its not okay" "maybe its not okay" "maybe its okay though" "woahhhhh its not okay" "ah but maybe im fine"

"I feel bad but also kinda good" "what to do"

[@daniellozinski]

This is so true!

[@Tombsar]

Congratulations! Some really dirty flags there.

[@mmartel]

Congrats! And thanks again for the super fun steam. My two sons love chess so much in large part from being inspired by your videos. They even say things during their games that you say. Keep up the great family friendly streams!

[@CourtneyBryceHilton]

15:09 - “Why am I so bad at chess?” - (everybody felt that)

"The best way to queen a pawn is to push a pawn" -IM Eric Rosen

[@umbra3069]

12:54 i love how he starts talking like a narrator

[@claasbehrens2554]

Eric, you're awesome, man, hands down. You make enjoying chess, learning and being inspired by chess so easy! Thanks a lot! Greetings from Germany

[@sandrogioselli3261]

Eric comes naturally so Ive watched this video in one take and it was so relaxing

[@SkepticalMantisCHANNEL10]

I was watching this at half speed so i could have more time to understand the moves, Eric sounds sooo funny when he is slowed down. He sounds like a slow guy struggling to understand chess, but then he wins all the games lol.

[@rexyrex536]

Love watching your games n learn from it a lot thnx

[@nmt9711]

6:34 "my pieces are nice..." *is up a full queen on the board*

[@lemoaj8315]

OMG the first 3 sec was Epic lol

[@angryangelant9519]

Well played Eric, great chess as always!

[@maximgem7292]

I'm gonna binge all your lectures SLCC uploads if they do. Haven't checked yet but if there's any definitely binge watching them

[@kenhaley4]

Wow. I watched some of this at 1/4 speed and still couldn't follow everything (although I'm nowhere near the level of any of the players here). But I was still mesmerized, and watched to the end. Great tournament, Eric! What amazes me is how calm you seem to be throughout. And, how do you play through the annoying hahahahahah interruptions and the like?

[@sujatasharma8560]

Congratulations Eric sir for coming 1st once again!! 👏👏👏

[@leerobbo92]

Eric, your thumbnail game these days is immaculate!

[@mynameisbarrett]

Brilliant tournament play

[@daniellozinski]

It’s amazing to watch, Eric is such a talented player. He oozes class too, I would love to see him become a GM. I’m sure he can’t be too far off really.

32:06 White could have tried *22.Nf7+* , when Black must either give up the exchange or accede to a draw after *22...Kg8 23.Nh6+* .

[@binyaminsfez4450]

Somone have a good books of opening and defending please?

[@aimeduquet4879]

Game #3...wow

[@brianstark1527]

"The best way to queen a pawn is to push a pawn."

[@lemonsys]

So that 3rd game is a win because it’s theoretically possible for black to be mated, even if white could never force it? Seems like a weird rule

[@timothyLucasJaeger]

It's a draw in USCF, but a win in FIDE. www.chesscincinnati.com/wp-content/uploads/Comparison-of-FIDE-and-USCF-Rules-2018.pdf top of page 11

maybe when it flags it should check the analysis for a "mate in X" and declare a draw. (if x = 1 or 2)

So you lose no time for premoves on lichess and a bishop and king isn’t a draw. Cool.
