Time to call it the Stafford Gambit Rosen Variation

[@volodyadykun6490]

He plays every line of Stafford gambit

[@drunkenhobo5039]

@@volodyadykun6490 Rename them all "Rosen Variation".

@@drunkenhobo5039 that is something eric would do

[@legasius9358]

Technically, any queen sacrifice that actually works could be renamed to Botez gambit: Rosen variation

[@scheimong]

How do you deliver this "call an ambulance" line so well? It's a mystery.

[@ashleynielsen5203]

"Or maybe, I'll continue with all the fun dubious gambits"

[@wanttoplay1099]

The "ho no my queen!!" was so expressive, thanks for that Eric!

[@TheWizardsOfOz]

The opponent must have been like: Oh no my game.

[@justsomeguywithouthair5712]

That "he he" was adorbs 0:32

[@ringtail5021]

These “oh no my queen”s seem so genuine

[@thesteve4235]

When i was 1200 and got a 1900 with this in a lichess tournament, felt good.

[@grosty2353]

Well done

[@ramble21]

I'm 1800 and even though I know this one I simply don't trust people who blinder their queen similar to this because I think they're most likely doing some trap and not blundering

[@patstaysuckafreeboss8006]

@@ramble21 naw. Most of the time if there’s a queen hanging it’s a blunder. Especially sub 2000. It’s a wasteland down there

[@ramble21]

@@patstaysuckafreeboss8006 i mean if they blunder it like this, moving their knight out of a pin and taking a central pawn on e4/e5

[@kdevelopergw]

@@patstaysuckafreeboss8006 ahem, a mid 1200 player here, I often sacrificed my queen for mate or material gain, and sometimes my opponents were good enough to see it, so I don't agree with you

[@Luffy_wastaken]

The _hehehe_ tho-

[@albertbatfinder5240]

Why is it whenever I attempt to emulate Eric the Great and taste the delights of the Stafford Gambit, I end up a quivering mess 4 moves later?

[@tomaspetruz7774]

His "not for me" was so darn smooth ahahah luv it

[@literallylegendary6594]

lol drawing the arrow to the queen just makes it all the better

[@RaymondBCrisp]

When he goes, "Hehehe," all I can think about is The Elf from the old arcade game, Gauntlet. It had four stations to play, one of the first of its kind. You could be The Warrior, powerful in melee combat but slow as molasses, or The Valkerie, good with both ranged and melee weapons and average speed, or you could be The Wizard, best at ranged combat but poorest at melee with average speed, or you could be The Elf. The Elf was the fastest character on the board, and when he was a greedy s*@t by snarfing up all the loot and food, he would make a "Hehehe" sound that very closely sounds like Eric.

[@RemyWillard]

Questor the Elf must be Eric's spirit animal.

[@turgid4391]

Gauntlet was the best dude

[@DudeWatIsThis]

@@turgid4391 And Diablo is just Gauntlet with extra steps.

[@Delatroxx]

It's even more cruel when your queen is pinned by the bishop to checkmate you

[@tincraftenfreddys804]

Eric: Oh no, my entire army (proceeds to checkmate with pawns)

[@zerosummations7198]

I read this as "Oh No My Oh No My Queen Stafford Gambit Trap" and I was so confused when it didn't go wrong.

[@Jade-kv2ci]

The “hehehehe” sent me lol

[@dhakalabhiyan]

That sometimes used to happen in blitz when I was around 700-800, and it used to feel soooo good. But now in around 1000-1100, it seldom happens... But I still get such wins in bullet!

[@24KWills]

Not sure what’s a better feeling, getting this mate or getting Legall’s mate

[@JimmyBoosterCrate]

they're basically the same

[@24KWills]

@@JimmyBoosterCrate true

[@queenrosiemary]

Never stop being you Eric! :D :D :D

[@vanikulhalli1385]

Just imagine the look on that poor 1300 face

[@Hasan...]

Naa, 1300s are happier taking the queen even if they lose the King. Queen 👑 is what matters to them anyway. Their reaction could be like: "Stupid Eric lost his Queen just to get my king hahahaha"

[@JonasTamaliunas]

@@Hasan... yes, of course, they can call a Republic and keep on playing :D

[@nephandi2316]

I can't believe this one still works after all this time xD

Bobby fischer quote...👍

[@ibmicroapple9142]

>Hadn't had this in a long time Geez, i wonder why... Could be due to the publicity some dubious streamer brought upon this opening...

[@protogamer245]

Getting back to your roots, I see

[@mfbx9da4]

This is my favourite variation

[@fleurbird]

I had this exact same line twice against my co-worker

[@miguelisaurusbruh1158]

LMAO THE WAY HE SAYS "heeheehee"

[@flashgordon5488]

10292 times the mate in 1 position was reached on lichess. 10291 times black mated white. 1 poor fellow castled instead :P

[@flashgordon5488]

RIP dev_olaf (account closed)

[@SoluceWot]

I just ran into this exact same game, playing as white. I was amazed with what my opponent just did. When reviewing the game, I noticed the engine mentionned something about Stafford, then I remembered I had already seen your videos about you doing this trap... I can't believe I saw you doing this trap so many times and actually ran into it myself..

[@ndeiyaabdulai6673]

This was cold😂

[@Wesssss84]

I’ve had this one a few times and it’s so nice But I always think if I was on the other end of it I’d be so suspicious

[@Le_Wild_Cohen]

Why does he cut his time in half? What’s the point of that?

[@moss_yass]

It’s called berserking, you half your time and lose the increment but you get one extra tournament point if you win

[@TONAL03]

​@@moss_yassYou will half your increment. Not lose it.

[@oscarrickyh02]

Lol i never ever get a chance to play that line

[@rdspam]

Eric beating up on poor 1300s.

[@glxxyz]

I've had people fall for this a few times, it's also fun if they take the knight instead of Queen and end up losing their Queen. More boring but best at that point is 7. Be3 where they are an exchange down

[@sydneyharrison6319]

Eric is the cutest guy I've ever seen.

[@smippycis6285]

So he can cut his time in half? Wow

[@SRADracer]

Try it agains Giri someday

[@ADRIAN-zu8uh]

el chico quedo xd

[@anirudhgovada2753]

If this gambit is not the Rosen gambit, then idk what to say. This might not be a Rosen variation bc there are better traps that could be called the Rosen variation. Also Eric gained no rating from that but gained 3 or 5 tournament points and some pride.

[@nomer440]

Maybe if a master blunders a queen out of a pin don’t take it. Even if it’s a legit blunder just don’t take it out of respect. These should be written about in chess books

[@spencersearls3500]

I disagree, especially in tournaments. Obviously I’m not even remotely close to be playing on par with gm’s, but if I get a position in which my opponent, regardless of who it is, blunders a full queen, you’d best believe I’m taking it. I think playing differently just because your opponent is someone respected or honored is already setting yourself up for failure. It’s a good mindset to play the board and the position, not your opponent.

[@anawilliams1332]

Thats a terrible idea, if the best move is to take a queen, you should tale the queen

[@devonrutledge6118]

Even if you don't take you are completely losing, so if anything in this case it is better to take the queen and mate yourself so you can play someone you actually have a chance at beating.

[@VividBoricua]

If a piece is "blundered" to you, but leads to you getting checkmated if you take, it's not a blunder.

[@anawilliams1332]

@@VividBoricua it sometimes is. A piece may be blundered and whilst takeing it may be forced mate, it may actually significantly weaken the position if not taken

[@BryceHines-f1w]

lol!
