I can't stop winning with this FUNNY CHECKMATE

In this video, I host a "funny position" viewer tournament based on a strange position that was sent in by a viewer. Shortly, into the tournament, I realize there is a hilarious opening checkmate trap...

Congratulations on your 5 year anniversary streaming on Twitch Eric . 🙂

5:01 “I won in two moves.” -Hans Neimann -Eric Rosen -Michael Scott

[@djvone8172]

I love how Eric said: -Ohhh my pown, oh it's a gambit 😂

[@Hasan...]

2:26 Did Eric and his opponent both didn't see the possible fork by Knight at g2 ?? 🤯

[@CadeHXH]

Yes, also looking at an engine Eric was down 12 points from that check, black then kinda messed up by taking with bishop on e2 and it spiraled from there ( he also definitely should have just saved his rook instead of letting Eric's bishop take it). Black still had an edge though, until 3:28 where he defended his knight with the pawn, Eric played the best move after which resulted in the game becoming 0-0, a draw with perfect play. Pawn e6 from black at 4:01 was a massive blunder.

[@KHariram]

Eric did say that he is in very big trouble after moving the queen and did next move capture that knight when opponent didn't see it.

[@Hasan...]

@@KHariram Wrong... watch from 2:16 he says "I'm in big trouble" *before* he blundered his queen..! Not after blundering. He casually plays the queen into the worst place (without even saying Oh No My Queen). AND If he did anticipate the "trouble" (fork) he wouldn't be trying to pre-move taking his knight, because the knight should have forked, he should be trying to pre-move his king instead.

Thank you so much for all the videos. You help me to improve my game. Thank you Erik Rosen 🙏🕉️🙏

king is very smotherable and mateable

The audacity

[@Purin1023]

Never hurts to try lol

[@fejfo6559]

@@Purin1023 I does hurt, if a lot of people do it it makes the environment less pleasant, and makes chess less fun to play. If you get a draw like that you are using your opponents kindness and that shouldn't feel good.

@@fejfo6559 The draw button is right next to the resign button. I can tell you from experience that people often press it when they meant to resign and don't realize until a bit later.

Where is the duck

Glad i could play in this!!! I was Dagench so i didn‘t do too bad i guess

[@WW-pg1ro]

timestamp?

[@Sulhouse]

I remember watching you in 2017-2018. Congrats on all of your success

[@Cloudland117]

great video. I think chess tournaments with custom positions should be done more often and with top players.

[@ben1996123]

lol it's exactly like playing atomic chess against beginners where you go Nf3 Ng5 Nxf7# every time

[@idioticfreek]

2:23 eric should have lost his queen

[@Gush27]

1:24 Eric learns what Brazil flag looks like

[@thecakeredux]

I wonder how the lichess performance metrics work without a loss. Winning 9/9 games ended up being a 2200 performance rating, despite beating a 2600 twice (or, I guess, once in regulation time). Strange. Also, cool position, I love how quickly opening prep entered the population.

[@StrategicGamesEtc]

I assume the performance ratings are just a rating pool with only the games if the arena for input, no?

[@DeBert]

It's 500 points above the average rating of your opponents at 100%. He also played 800's, averaging 1786, so that keeps the performance relatively low.

[@fabiobertoni2580]

I feel so powerful that i found a mate that eric missed. 17:04

[@gabrielnieves9974]

He missed mate twice lol

[@31redorange08]

I'm new to chess it took me a minute to find knight to c5.

Props to axejr for contending with Eric with that opening 🔥🔥

[@theolimagameplays]

thank you for the video eric, i was depressed by my ex gf breaking up with me suddenly, and watching you play and talk so calmly is truly a therapy, much love

[@Lentsku]

11:28 for the funny checkmate game

[@irjake]

And at 13:54 he actually says the line: "I can't stop beating people with the same checkmate"

[@flippert0]

Double knight(!) fianchettos and smothered queens, nice !

[@wolffang21burgers]

17:12 Where's your mate? It was 5 seconds ago before you traded bishops.

Now add the duck to this starting position

[@willparker1404]

Eric, would you do a Duck-chess match with Gotham?? This is an official video suggestion, thank you for your service.

[@shane5657]

Eric did all of that to flex on his viewers

[@truestory3030]

Hey Eric, could you put twitch chat from the stream on your vids please? This would be so great

[@randomperson1286]

2:56 could eric have gone Na5 threatening Nxc4 as well as Nc6? If Bb5 then Nd7, and black must sac their queen or get back ranked

[@stuffstuff7725]

at 2:55 couldn't you do knight a5 then knight c6 to make them pick between a dead queen and checkmate?

[@AG-kl6ds]

Was Eric attempting the actual oh no my queen at 2:26 if opponent played kg2+

[@Lange007]

Is there any real evidence of the water level in the glass going down? Cause I can't figure that one out.

[@irjake]

What a ridiculous position, lol.

[@redbuck1385]

King is breedable in this position.

[@Not-You-Tuber]

I downloaded twitch to only watch your content.. Now all videos are subscribers only.. I can't afford subscription.. So I removed twitch, but still watch on youtube.. Thanks Eric.. ❤️❤️

funny position duck chess when though? We need ultimate quack --- uh, i mean fun!
