I love the Stafford, Stafford doesn’t love me

[@pierrepetitcolas2349]

Hello Eric. i'm a young french retired who really likes chess and who try to learn english with you !! I watch a lot of your videos without subtittle and i try to understand what you say !! i'm am really enjoying to spend time with you. Last week i had a bad flu and i had to stay at home . So i clic here !! Thanks for your videos. And see you soon. Pierre

[@pepperwestwood]

Clicking is one thing. I’m gonna watch it straight through three times in a row 😎

[@zainquadri1206]

You are two times more amazing than anyone of us can ever aspire to be it's almost an 8 hour long video... I'll watch it one time through without a doubt...

[@pepperwestwood]

@@zainquadri1206 ok so I’ll come clean here… I tapped out after an hour and a half. But will continue soon.

[@fatcatpills]

Oh you haven't done that yet? Lol true fan bro kuddos to you ❤

[@PhaZeUnleashed]

Yeah okay buddy

[@esdrasferreras1227]

@@pepperwestwoodcheering for you

[@nathansharp3193]

I clicked. I'm amazing. Thanks Eric! You're amazing!! I'm thankful for your instructive and entertaining chess videos. Keep on keepin' it mellow man. Some of us are trying to sleep. 😉👍

[@spartanthe300ththermopylae4]

Eric, in case you are reading the comments... Watching this video, and just got to 22:41, when you mention someone's watching from London. Well, I'm watching from London (UK) too! ☺️👋 I know it's all over, but I'll wish you good luck anyway. Hope you did well! Thank you for your instructive content, especially for the deep analysis' of your slow chess tournament games, rapid games analysis' and also for the speedrun. Those are the contents I find useful the most.

[@aaroncarter8845]

Finally, Eric has released a 7hr chess ASMR video! Now to go to sleep trying to figure out where everything is on the board.

[@ChrisAlonzoMagic]

I put this on as background noise for my dog when I go to work, to help the watch time hours.

[@MrSilkable]

6:04:55 surely Rc4 defends the knight...?

[@thaxbest2180]

Eric I wish you got more recognition. You definitely deserve it man. Vibes are always amazing in your videos! ❤❤ much love

[@MatthewClancy1]

Either there's an epic 2 hour catalan 3+0 blitz game coming up, or there's something wrong with the timestamps, either way, thanks for the great content.

[@Nico-xc3rg]

theyre really fast

[@eric-rosen]

yeahhhh I just fixed it!

[@MichaudMifroidQC]

No Eric, YOU'RE Amazing! We love you man, keep it up!

[@hellnawmanwtf]

2:40:17 why oppenent didnt take the bishop? what am i missing

[@Edu-hz4iq]

I saw that too, i swear these 2000+ games people just overlook things It was indeed hanging

[@aandykf]

Yup, with check!

[@jaric5119]

I have learned a lot by looking at your games. Thanks for posting twitch streams on youtube. And may 2024 give you missing Rosen trophies and great victories! Cheerio from Denmark.

[@matemorassi]

Hey, Eric! Did you know that king's gambit's top line of Stockfish can lead to a queen sac from black on move 12? I think you should learn this opening, it really really fits your style and you can easily achieve much more than a stalemate in the winter marathon:))

[@joeb4142]

Sounds interesting! What are the first 12 moves?

[@shyguybutbraveonwifi3703]

Damn i think its so cool how so many people in different countries are watching Eric do his thing across the globe. Keep it up man your awesome! Yours sincerely ,CheekyChessGuy from Stoke-On-Trent, England.

[@hondorama]

I started this almost as a joke, but it is highly addictive. Thanks Eric

[@eta3323]

It took me about a week and a half but I finished this video now. Hoping there is a second part of this tournament. Thank you Eric for your fun and instructive videos and also oh no your rating!

[@DerAchte8]

I often watch your videos when going to bed this 8 hours video has the perfect format. Maybe I'll dream of you, Ô Eric… just kidding love you my man !

[@frightenedsoul]

Chess games legit appear in my dreams when i fall asleep to chess lol. Some random character in it will be speaking in Eric’s voice explaining their positions on the board

[@johndavidallison7601]

Yes. This is the Eric we know and love. Been really missing these vids

[@AdrenalineLegends]

watched the whole thing! Love the content

[@evelynkokemoor6398]

Your voice is very soothing, I've put on your playlists to fall asleep to, and this is even better... I mean that in a good way :)

[@coreyssanford]

Love these, Eric! They're my go-to viewing for many days in a row 😄

[@realcheckmatthew]

Watched the entire thing as always ❤ looking forward to part 2

[@Safewordiswhiskey8]

I LOVE these videos. I’ll be clicking on it so many times

[@christiantaggart1557]

Next year we need an 8 hour Stafford gambit marathon

[@Miguel-rh8yh]

Eric, you are amazing! Thank you for your videos and your dedication

[@torko121212]

Made it this far. I watch all your videos to the end 😊

[@bigsluggy]

I have watched so many of these! This is the first time I'm able to watch on year of release as I only found you this year. I suck still but i definitely suck less thanks to you! Here's to another great year, Mr Rosen 🎉

[@pelimies1818]

Very excited to watch this. Good luck!

[@erikkomaromi4500]

Smiling and a kind "aaaaaaaa" And says: "So much rage." 😂 Love you!

[@Azerty42069]

Thanks so much for the content Eric

[@ericthegamefreak]

This is an awesome source of games to look at for specific openings. Amazing! Thank you!

[@Sirzacharia]

The 2:29:09 London game is one of my favorites because I almost never see you get surprise mated like that.

[@WeekendWarrior522]

@1:47:47 Was the best part of the whole thing “I wonder how many bishops I can get” 😂😂

[@clintoruss153]

I am happy to know I am amazing

[@dogspaghetti7118]

Yay! A LONG Eric Rosen upload :))

[@debrascott8775]

Perfect weekend fare. Thanks for posting!

[@Ptaku93]

It's been 19 days, but I've finally watched it all. Great tournament! Now onto 2 part. Will Eric win back his place in the top 20? Let's find out!

[@victordeluca7360]

2:58:22 was a crazy game, one of the best so far imo

[@Ermagerd2000]

It took me a little over a month, but I finally watched the whole thing 😂 Great learning games as always

[@varun3328]

I watch these, I forget and then watch again. With food

[@willfrancomb3203]

Recently I've started watching your GM speedrun videos over breakfast. Now this is going to take up the next... 23 breakfasts! I'm going to be so behind on the speedrun series by the time this is done.

[@SuupaaSaiya-jin]

Thank you Eric! I needed this! You are amazing!!!

[@krlos2588]

3:59:48 what a fun game and great play by your opponent

[@MrSilkable]

Anyone know what game Eric is talking about at 2:23:51 ?

[@rexmundi9691]

2:17:47 Thanks for this insight, truly you are a chess genius.

[@benjis540]

the fact that you created timestamps for these videos is so wild

[@dearthwood]

There is a utility someone made to automatically generate KZbin timestamps based on the lichess game timestamps

[@TheBonkers45]

Just for you, eric I'm gonna put this video on as I'm about to go to bed and play it all night

[@screamer22222]

Same, hopefully I get better at chess by tomorrow.. 😁

[@mrzorak4532]

watched the whole thing! waiting for part 2!

[@turtlebackflapjack]

Not to be too practical but youd probably do better if you get up an walk around for minutes every hour. Medical evidence says it's bad to sit for more than 45 minutes at a time and you'd get more blood flow to your brain.

[@jkrishna08]

watched your entire 7 hours 43 minutes non stop .... saw your highs and lows ... good luck

[@Time_To_Level_Up]

Usually watch you play these long tournaments as I fall asleep keep up the great content 😊

[@henrywebstermusic1]

Just finished watching this for the 2nd time and it was only published 34 mins ago.

[@eric-rosen]

you are beyond amazing

[@michaelculasingchannel-e-l8419]

Wow great your voice and good luck to your Winter Tournament.

I love these marathon videos, keep it up! (:

Thanks, I needed that.

[@rupertpupkin4349]

Good to feel amazing !!

[@wordpress4373]

This was epic, Where is the second part?

[@number94]

Watched it all. Took me a few days though... second part soon

[@rhoddryice5412]

I’ve watched the first hour. I don’t know if I’ll be watching all the of it like a couple of years ago when you didn’t upload as much on KZbin as you do know. One of the Winter Marathons with Eric Snow in the thumbnail I watched all of it at 0.75 speed as I struggled to follow at normal speed.

[@DL-fy5yr]

You are amazing for making this video!!!

[@Arthur.Dent_]

No YOU are amazing!

[@maximepoca9396]

Eric at least 5 times in the video: "If you watch on youtube, let me know if you've been so far" I made it to the end ! Now it's time for the second part ahah

[@4dragonzzz]

whoo made it thorough part one!!

[@Sirzacharia]

It took me this long to make it to the end!

[@maxliebe114]

I made it through!❤

[@joeb4142]

✨✨AMAZING ✨✨

[@joeb4142]

The great thing about having a poor memory is I can watch Eric’s videos over and over without getting bored. Infinite content!

[@joeb4142]

5:01:52 Made it this far - for the second time 😁

[@Ptaku93]

The 6:31:25 game is so funny! 😂

[@Neyrad2002]

thanks eric

wow how long does it take to do all those timestamps?

One day he needs to play the full 24 hours! Every streamer has a 24 hour stream under their belt. Even Hikaru! Make it a goal!

[@Ragehunter]

I have done it (playing for 24 hours) xd

[@guitarhiker9671]

I’m not sure how this works but I really am feeling amazing! 🤩

I may be going crazy. But I think I am going to watch the whole thing.

This girl can handcuff lightning and throw thunder in jail! You go girl💪

[@wsemenske]

NordicFurnace with the provisional rating was banned soon after the tournament. One can only assume that they were cheating most games to get to 2200 because they definitely played well below that rating against Rosen.

[@Martykun36]

I can't believe I am awesome now.

[@thaxbest2180]

I checked and castle fork is a Rosen trophy!!

[@shoaibrehman9927]

It doesnt matter how long the video is i always watch it 3 times ❤

Love the content Eric. I have issue with this thumbnail though...

[@Vorasii]

I put chess videos on to fall asleep, if i sleep as long as this video is i think im doing pretty well.

[@kerthwack8470]

Aw thanks

[@giorgibliadze1151]

You are aaaaaamazing!!!!😂😊

[@shivamupadhyay3096]

Please play a London system ❤

[@Marc-Tu]

Would Eric Rosen, if he time traveled to meet Morphy, be on par with Morphy's game? Or would Morphy win the majority of games between Rosen and himself?

[@biharek7595]

Wake up babe, new marathon just dropped

[@Zvoosh25]

5:37:23 1.h5 still undefeated

[@blueguitarist]

I still have the winter marathon from last year open as a tab. Havent quite made it through it. I’m going to skip to this one anyways
