[@drdickinson5910]

Every win the beard grows stronger

[@jamesmcfarland-si9cb]

Top Ten Eric sayings: 1) Safety First! 2) I just want to play solid 3) I just want to put my pieces on good squares 4) Everything's protected 5) Its really a prophylactic move 6) This feels more natural and gives me more flexibility 7) I don't want to do anything crazy 8) My goal today, is to just manage my time better! 9) Before you eat something you have to ask yourself ..."is it poison?" 10) ok....now its clean up time! thank you Eric!

[@imovieperson]

Don’t forget about “what to do”

[@afancypirate7754]

"Opponent wants ____________"

[@jetsyrup]

now it's time to show no mercy

[@jetsyrup]

it's not so simple

[@qayssarjrd5399]

You forgot “that’s a move…that’s also a move”. That has to be one of the top 10

[@sheawinter8886]

Hey I'm Sillysnail64, good game Eric! Unfortunately I had to go switch over my laundry half-way through the game which is why I took 4 minutes on that move.

[@Helenex0r]

How did you get so good? Any tips? 1800 rated here

[@sheawinter8886]

​@@Helenex0rWhile I appreciate the compliment, I wouldn't consider myself to be an expert on chess or chess improvement. My only tip would be to make sure you don't have any big holes in your opening repertoire. This doesn't mean learning a bunch of deep theory, but knowing enough to get a solid, playable position out of the opening.

[@MrIslah]

​@@sheawinter8886 How many opening repertoire should I memorize actually to get to that level? I mean to not get lost in the first 10 to 15 moves 😅

[@esaul17]

With snail being in your name I thought maybe slow play was your style!

[@sheawinter8886]

​@@MrIslah It really depends on what you play. For example, if you play the 1. d4 mainlines like me, you barely have to memorize anything. For me, it helped to get a bunch of games in those same positions under my belt.

[@YDAE4]

Guys our hope for a viking-wizard beard is growing!

[@jpjpJPJPG]

Consider that part of the human condition is being faced with uncertainties and worrying about their outcomes. We seek out ways to tamp down and relieve our stresses. Eric's approach is calm and collected even in a losing game, a place we all find ourselves sometimes. He explains the situation, the options, and how best to respond. I think watching these videos speaks to us more deeply than just learning chess, they soothe the psyche on a fundamental level.

[@paulphoenix2778]

Love this perspective 🍻

[@Rubrickety]

In game 2, Eric demonstrates the advanced technique of threatening to make luft.

[@keyrone77]

Hyper modern

[@DavidAnderson-m5c]

Luft makes the world go round.

[@HectorMartinez-ic7oq]

I felt attacked when you said “I wonder how many people would… and blunder the bishop.” That’s me bro, that’s me. 😢

[@LucMartinVideos]

In a hostel in deep Idaho in the middle of a awesome trip. Speedrun 78 is on! My iPad is sitting sideways, now this is freaking Christmas to spend the next 60 minutes watching your chess play. Thanks for this brother Also the “Ho no my queen!” T-shirt I ordered on KZbin … 😊Arrived! The cotton is so good, congrats for finding the right source, great t-shirt Keep it on you doing so good. Respect

[@mitchsmix269]

Wise Master Rosen with the beard coming thru. Cant wait for the gambits speedrun ✊

[@MrGunsboy]

I consider this the first actual loss in the speedrun. That other one was a mouse-slip.

[@parzingtheasian]

that man played really, really quickly -- usually an indication of a cheater. but no, he's not cheating. i looked through his other games and he also plays really fast in those as well. i have yet to see a game where he drops below 5 min on his clock, even on losses

[@lpmageman5613]

His opponent also played several mistakes according to the engine. This was just a case of the time management leading to a loss

[@abdullahamin764]

i wonder how this channel doesn't have milion subscribers !

[@LucMartinVideos]

Ok the first game was so fun to watch, I bought a coffee mug “Ho no my queen!” Great teaching. You are a great calm and skillful teacher, I travelled the world and I met many great men, you one of them.😅

[@pinkloulou1916]

You drop these speedrun episodes at a perfect time for UK audience (well, this UK audience) :D

[@keyrone77]

And this one too

[@johnblakeley4940]

Eric breaks mine and everybody’s heart every time he shaves

[@dirksmittenaar5678]

Great instuctive games, thanks for sharing Eric! Hard second game though.... Well played by your opponent.... Looking forward to the next one.

[@91Minion]

Beardic Rosen is back ! whohoo

[@StevenStJohn-kj9eb]

Oh no my KZbin ad every 6 minutes? When did that get so aggressive?

[@Lenny71993]

Raise Erics Likes! ❤

[@tushmush7298]

Eric hit em with the BRRRRRRR this ep

[@dopamine-bandit]

Thank you Eric, you've saved me from eating without youtube

[@choco1101]

Instructive games, including against opponents of very different styles of clock management.

[@BottleOfCoke]

In the second game: I was surprised to see you miss the tactic where you could sack the bishop for a full queen, but instead you gave up your queen to be up the exchange.

[@Lenny71993]

Raise Rosens Likes!

[@ReidBallardIII]

16:20- as a 1100 I'll admit I thought about it for a second and therefore I 100% would have immediately played it if I was low on time

[@RightHandShot]

Love the speed runs

[@BibendiYT]

Lookin good with the beard! Also, very instructivevideo as always, ty.

[@m1079Thauau]

Thanks for your tips on improving your audio quality! What kind of microphone do you use? 😘🍭

[@parzingtheasian]

we love bearic rosen!

[@chesscounselor]

I take these uploads as a sign to take a break 😂

[@MathewAGTales]

LETS GOOOO I KNEW MY DAY WAS MISSING SOMETHING IMPORTANT

[@samgreer8596]

First legit loss! It had to happen. Still great games.

[@milesgreenwood5036]

I'm not so sure...

[@bikedoc59]

Thanks!

[@danielkrstic9230]

Can you try a Vienna opening?

[@MrGunsboy]

Time management :)

[@abdullahmohammed20y]

I saved the video till the time of a sleep

[@Gian_sas]

bro's looking good damn

[@dapah8695]

The last opponent was definitely using stockfish

[@flotto7045]

The one where eric basically self destructed due to using 4 minutes to make a bad pawn move? Maybe they did, but just from the game we saw i don't think it looks like they did. Ng5 looks way more natural than axb5 which the engine said does keep a big advantage. How would stockfish straight up stay worse for half of the game and only win due to time pressure when Erics position finally implodes? Also i just checked and the guys a 2500 blitz player. So probably just underrated in rapid.

[@renegade_filmmaker]

Yes a new episode to relax to right after my colonoscopy 💩🥳

[@JiveDadson]

Yeah, things are looking up.

[@danielmccachern2307]

I wonder if opponent in game 1 mixed up the move order forgetting he hadn't yet played d3 before playing f4.

[@1.4142]

Last game was the first real loss since the first was a mouse slip.

[@dhyanais]

Ooooh, SillySnail because the opponent was so slow. But he played well

[@LieuweStraatman]

1:57 Niels Bojr

[@JiveDadson]

Oh no! Eric let his face grow long.

[@aaronellingsen5404]

Eric's beard ELO is 922 and steadily climbing.

[@faTTosaurus]

Your beard owes my sister child support

[@DouglasASean]

Damn I wanted to make a comment about Bearded Rosen

[@TheHeroIsRisingUp]

Do you usually root for Eric or his opponents guys? 😅

[@Gurusson-qr5np]

Waiting for you to restart this cause I'm 800 elo and this is too advanced for me

[@Toxodos]

this speedrun is taking a year, maybe you should try any%

[@JiveDadson]

Huh?

[@S1D94]

For you it'd take a lifetime ;)

[@nasirubarrie1235]

[@Lazy_crazy1]

I wasn't familiar with your beard game, it's too stronk
