[@pawn-007]

Wait, this is chess.

[@theherk]

Say it ain’t so. This is so exciting.

[@joshuaschluter6802]

Thankyou Eric Rosen for (indirectly) making this video possible.

[@TheRysiu120]

You should rather thank highlycrusifurus. Eric had nothing to do with that

[@jordanmcmorris5248]

I still look over the old chess videos nearly every day

[@samuelhindman3022]

i'm pretty sure this guy is a grandmaster

[@xaptive7458]

This makes me so happy. I'm glad I stayed subscribed. Hope to see more chess content in the future.

[@vampirechicken]

Thank you! Risk is going to be my daily focus going forward but there will definitely be more chess to come on this channel

[@Chunes3]

I was a RISK guy but you actually got me into chess when you announced you were quitting. So thanks for that. Chess is really fun.

[@SanderBessels]

Please post more chess videos. This content is VERY entertaining!

[@boomshanker61]

Welcome back, you have been missed

[@vezquex]

King activity for 4 pawns. Totally normal compensation.

[@hritikkumar2518]

Welcome back to chess youtube.

[@Axiomatic75]

Finally. Haven't watched a video in quite a while, this risk stuff is boring to me.

[@InfernalPasquale]

He's back boyz - the Gambit King is back

[@cz19856]

I almost unsubbed but now I collect the reward of being patient

[@mcronrn]

I waited too 🤣👍🏽

[@Axiomatic75]

I was getting close to unsubbing as well, I hope he's motivated to play more chess again

[@HighLigerBimBam]

Wait? What? Chess? Is it a dream?

[@JB-uf6nn]

Black was a fool to not have accepted your alliance request!

[@Daniele.Rossini]

So good to see you play chess again Jonathan!

[@alexmesringer]

Chess is back on the menu!!

[@GaberFaber]

Boyz

[@phoenixinthetrees1446]

Seriously, I came here to check the moves to the Elephant Gambit - still playing it! - and found this. What a bonus! PS. I want more chess.

[@CatSurfer]

Finally my life can resume

[@davidkarladam]

thank you eric that you‘ve drawn your lost position, so that I can watch a chess video on a risk channel, that I didn’t even know that existed until today

[@mykolharper]

This video changed my life

[@aidenhastings6341]

I’ve been missing chess

[@chessforfun_]

I am one of the nice Anna Cramling viewers haha :)

[@bcfblack]

i like your attitude to playing games, so i watched you play risk even tho i've never played in my life; but i would love a return to more chess on your youtube :)

[@penguinabroad]

Glad you're back!! Hope you continue posting, from an Anna Cramling raider

[@TheHuggybeary]

It is good to have you back Johnathan. You were a favorite to watch. Bring more interesting chess on the table. Hope we will see you more in the future.

[@gergomeister]

It's good to have you back in the chess world 🎉

[@emmanueltorres7917]

Yes, we want more chess videos. Still remember the Stafford Gambit Magic Line vs Level 8 computer on lichess. Legendary video

[@shellsterdude]

Still my favorite chess channel...and that's saying something considering the lack of chess in a long time.

[@Tim_Ayers]

Not seen the video yet - just wanted to comment that your chess videos fuelled my love for chess -- I still play the Bishops opening because of you. Thank you for the amazing content

[@TreeCamper]

Good Afternoon VC!!!

[@vampirechicken]

Good afternoon!

[@anonymous6180]

You've done the best commentary for Eric's Madrid matches. Hilarious and awesome. Please do it more often. Love the Faustino face drama. 😂

[@michaelgoldberg4000]

JONATHAN IS BACK TO CHESS LETS GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I missed you so much welcome back

[@hristoezovski3634]

[@jacoblozano1579]

Happy to see chess as always, i hope you were happy to play!

[@fcolecumberri]

The only time I have gotten into a nakhmanson accepted was from a haxo gambit declined that trabsposed. It was like "you dodge a bullet by entering into the nuke"

[@juriinthehouse1]

He's back!

[@PhilippHagemeister]

Soon: Heeey everybody! It's VampireChicken, a Grandmaster at the game of chess…

[@watonwak]

what Risk map is this??

[@McHorsesCreations]

Omg, what a welcomed surprise! And yes! It would be pretty cool if there was more chess (not at expense of RISK though)!

[@LightVillet]

Wonderful video!

[@Ginger0616]

Really enjoyed seeing some chess!

[@EvertfromNederland]

hey wait a damn minute, this is chess! Edit: II like watching Risk the most but I have always enjoyed your chess gambit video's in the past so I'm also glad you're back to posting chess next to Risk..

[@manykindsofgeek5906]

I get confused when you don’t play the blue pieces, but this is one of my favorite maps. Thanks for bringing it back in small doses 😄

[@Jonnysh]

we want more chess

[@cotirtaoctavian4571]

This is amazing! I hope this strange map becomes a series :D !

[@benb4728]

Even if this is just an occasional thing, It's always cool to see you posting chess videos

[@chessnerd1055]

[@miroito9592]

Good Afternoon !!

[@vampirechicken]

Good afternoon!

[@sniggleboots]

I want more chess

[@komikaelb]

Love it!

[@paulm2392]

To be completely honest I like the risk better. your way funnier playing risk. your style of play is hilarious, I think the content is better. I’ve never watched your videos to get better at chess or risk but just enjoy to content. I also watch Kylted but to much dead space of him thinking strategy, a great player with great one liners, but not the same as the Chicken. Also love how you tell stories with the other players and mess up the colors constantly

[@TheAssOfBalaam]

Yes, please!

[@pawnpusher]

I can't believe he got a draw in the first game...I feel bad for Sputnik1122

[@mykolharper]

first time coming across the opening, no way i hell will i ever play it XD

[@borbug]

Missed the chess. This was fun. Everything is fine.

[@bernardducharme4085]

more chess!

[@SimonKimberly]

YES! Bring back chess!

[@3cmPandaGG]

Very cool gambit! I have been studying Nakhmanson and its wild Kd6 is the only move. No one who does not play Nakhmanson themselves will know the move.

[@xaptive7458]

I had a much stronger player play it against me at chess club and I mated him in like 15 moves. I'd say all but the last move or two were theory from the course. It's the only time I've ever beaten that guy. Sometimes people just know "oh just play Kd6 and you're better", which is true, but it's still a dangerous situation. It's like the people who just know "oh play Bxf7+ against the Traxler and you're fine".

[@sean3533]

This risk guy is pretty good at chess

[@BetaJim22]

As promised VC I'm watching and saying "nice things". I have missed this content so much ❤

[@audunhoem5773]

I love your Risk content but chess is still my favourite. I use your dubious gambits extensively in blitz! The first game had me laughing at black's endgame technique... 2400 and somehow they don't know that all they have to do is push the f pawn until your king is forced to move to the f file, then they have Rh1 at the end. Frankly, terrible. Nice stalemate trick though!

[@AdmiralAdam]

How do I watch the Rosen commentary?

[@vampirechicken]

You can watch it tomorrow at 1500 UTC (11am ET) on Eric Rosen’s Twitch channel: Twitch.tv/imrosen

[@a_wild_Kirillian]

4:55 Black is 2400 and didn't see mate in 1? Impressive. Lichess' ratings =D

[@livingroom13]

Moar chess! Moar Risk!

[@mcronrn]

Whaaaaaaat!! Hey kids!! JS, the pale blue sweater guy with the zombies is back making chess videos!! Woo hoo!!

[@JAClary]

I think this guy is a GM!

[@aib7653]

please post one game a day of chess after risk.... love your content... many hearts :D

[@NugPlug69]

I dont know anything about chess but id watch you play more chess

[@RsC777777777777]

A very odd game of Risk

[@sgrey9181]

HE UPLOADED CHESS?!?!?

[@SamuPiano088]

Woah I wonder why he went back to chess, I hope he didn't lose a bet

[@Graceclaw]

Two games Nakh to Nakh
