An interesting strategy is to remove / capture all of whites bishops that contain the same colour . For instance if white only has bishop on the black squares left , they possibly can't win

"I am running out of bishops" - Eric 2021

the wooden shield is everywhere

I like how although you start at -9 you have plenty of confidence and treat the position as though you have the advantage. Interestingly, Stockfish evaluates 1: d2a5 as 0.00, whereas with the 11 knights game the first move for white was evaluated at about -9. The power of the bishop dectet

Bishops are like snipers. The more they have a clear line of sight, the better. It was clever of Eric to remove the pawns to unleash the laser beams of the 5 bishop pairs. The mate was so satisfying:).

9:19 Bc2 will pin rook and win material If room is moved then it would be a king trap xD I’m so happy I saw this

counting values of pieces doesn't work, does it? So many bishops that protect each other are way stronger than rooks etc. They cover almost every square on the board...

@rosiefay7283

Rooks can defend each other too. Bishops can't possibly be stronger than rooks, because bishops are colour-bound, and king and 1 bishop can't mate.

Right, same principle as the bishop pair, they synergize excellently with each other (unlike knights).

in the "Bishop Blast" mate, three bishops form together to create the Bishop Blast, which absolutely destroys the King through the power of friendship.

Love a good checkmate with the king

3:57 i think Bg3 wins here. If black takes, then Bf6 skewering the queen (either bishop works). If the bishop retreats, we still take it and skewer the queen. Best continuation is probably Bg3 Qd7

At 3:50 bg3 wins material, deflecting black's Bishop from defending the queen and king from a pin

Now the other way around, Eric against 10 bishops.

@undeniablySomeGuy

3 жыл бұрын

The bishops are at an obvious disadvantage, though. Eric was rated ~700 higher than his opponent but was still 1 bad trade from losing

3:55 doesn't Bishop g3 work here . Since you attack the bishop that is defending a potential fork on the king and queen

Which time do you stream useal? I life in the Nederlands, but everytime I look at twich, you are offline...

So frustrating he was counting the material it's right there on the screen 😂

Dareoth: hmm let me challenge Eric by converting all his pawns to bishops. Everyone: Dareoth: Yeah, I think I'll beat him. Everyone: Dareoth: What was I thinking?!?!

Mate with those bishops. Make a cardinal!

13:00 when you're just a lonely chess player with social anxiety

Hutch would love to play this. Ifykyk

at 4:00, bishop to G3 followed by bishop F6 wins the queen

3:56 you could have done bg3... If black bishop captures you check the king and win the queen. If bishop moves to any part of the diagonal it gets captured and king check. If you dont move it again king check. Losing queen.

In the final position after be4 a3 you should’ve played bd5 a2 kb5, winning connect 4 with the king and 3 bishops all aligned 😃

So many fun jokes to be made about this game, but either Eric deletes them, or the Vatican relocates them..

13:41 Should have played Be3, Kd5, Enemy promotes, Ke6# That would mean he would have won while down material and his pieces would be in a line from e3 to e6.

King checkmate

4:10 bg3 was nice i guess

7:44 A Shield of Faith

3:39 You missed Bg3. Black cannot capture this bishop because of the threat of Bhf6+, skewering the queen, and there is no retreat square either. It wins a piece.

You do not mess with the Pope lmao

when your so early there is like 10 firsts

bishop together.... strong!!

Brilliant move. Move pawn on 10 Bishops challenge

Ah yes Eric, the wooden shield, very advanced play. 5Head

At 4:00 I think bishop g3 was quite nice

That was fun to watch. Puzzle: I wonder if it's possible to contrive a legal game with 10 bishops on one side? (All pawns from one side under-promoting).

He said it... the wooden shield

I think at 3:56 you have a very nice tactic of Bg3 deflecting

Agadmator be like: Eric Rosen holy game

when your tf2 pub team decides to go all sniper for some reason

3:45 Me thinking he doesnt see Bf6. Saw black bishop after 3 moves lol

If you count a bishop as 4 pawns, knight as 4 pawns, rook as 6 and queen as 11 pawns, then 1:31 is equal material. I think bishops should count as 4 pawns for the opening and as 3 pawns for the ending.

Nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition

"Black does not wanna play b5- unless black wants to play b5"

In 8:16, your bishops had influence on 40 squares out of 64. So 62.5% of all squares.
