The stark contrast between Eric's calm demeanor and his excessively violent style of play is hilarious to me.

The gambit itself should remain the same, to honour those who started it, but naming the g5 variation this could be interesting

It seriously feels like Eric is on a mission to prove that the Stafford Gambit is the best opening in chess

I thought the title was “Tilted Players” and was like, yeah, they probably were pretty tilted after that

I love Rosen when he plays the Stafford. The “oh no my queen” is real

Love watching you man. I learn while watching you genuinely having fun. Cheers!!

Oh congrats on the 1/2Million subs BTW, didn't realize you'd hit it!

The first game was amazing! What incredible depths there are to the Stafford!

I've watched this game several times now and this is just literal art. It's so beautiful I may cry.

eric i just wanted to say you are an amazing person and your videos are so instructive, yesterday i won two very nice games using your tips against the karo kann :)

I get a lot of anxiety playing chess, but watching you has made it fun again !

"When it does, it's a nice way of enjoying life" That is a really nice way of putting it

the triple pin at the end was fantastic!

Love seeing Eric play Stafford

Buenas partidas!,gracias Eric por el vídeo.

That was a beautiful last game

Thank you mr.rosen for rosen gambits ❤

I want to see Eric playing against the refutations, either h3 or d5 followed by e4. I've stopped playing the Stafford (and I'm very low level 1000-1100 elo blitz) because 95% of players now knows how to refute the gambit.

I've been playing Stafford against players at my level (~1500) on Lichess recently and even though the main traps rarely work out, the opening is still off-putting enough for people that I usually end up winning. Even had one player complain about Eric Rosen in the chat while losing to my Stafford. I was like "if you know the trap, why are you losing to it?".

I unintentionally used this to beat my Star Wars Episode 1 electronic chess set years ago… that thing was vicious af 😂

Maybe more prep for you, Idk...in game 2 after move 7 where you fork the queen and bishop and defend mate, White has only 4 "safe" squares for the queen: b3, c3, g3, and f4. Qh5 looks good at first, but after Black replies Qf6 defending the knight and adding protection to f7, the White queen can't hang around long as she is 2 moves from being trapped. First, the "quiet" h6, which prevents Bg5 as well, and then g6, when the White queen's only retreat is back into the "box" you trapped her in with Bg4...after which mate should be forcing again, I believe. Going back to the other 4 "safe" squares: f3 and g4 hang the bishop...so b3 or c3 seem to have been White's best moves in the game. Both remove the queen from the fork and protect the bishop. b3 forms a battery which, of course, Black can disassemble immediately by taking the bishop, or allow if they deem their own knight too valuable to trade in this position given all it does to attack White's king. c3 "threatens" the Black knight. In these cases, the White queen finds herself misplaced on the queenside of the board defending a minor piece away from the action. Hence, it would appear your opponent's attempt to Scholar's Mate you in response to your Stafford Gambit was ill advised all around.

Sorry for a noob question, but on your 8:th move, why didnt you go for Qd6 instead? Great videos, big fan. =)

IMRosen just becomes GMRosen which stands for Gambit Master Rosen

The thumbnail game is on point.

U nailed it when u put the title

A 2 second eric rosen podcast can ba good

Looks like Eric almost solved chess. Now we need somebody to prove the Irish gambit to be sound.

just a quick heads-up you might need to recheck the description;)

Loved these thumbnails eric ❤️❤️

I love Stafford content on your Chanel sir

I love this man

That first game made me a Stafford believer

Thx for your performance👍👍👍

3:37

I gotta say man, I just love the way you are

so many fun and funny lines.

Way awesome, IM ROSEN

If/when you become a GM, I feel like you have to do a play on words with “Gee, I am Rosen.”

Great video Eric

The Stafford-Rosen Gambit.

3:10 he could have just simply move black queen to g1 and it was checkmate right? idk why he moved the pon instead

how good this guy is!!

that game 1 was brutal.

The Stafford gambit working for the Rams too.

What do you play in stafford gambit against 3. e5

what software or website does he use? also why not white to g3 at 3:03?

"Oh no my queen"

I think Eric should create a course on the stafford gambit

Eric be flexing his CC blitz rating 2600+

Get it, grinder

Consider capturing E3 Bishop with Queen on 11th move! Could be aggresive sacrifice!

You are the king of the Stafford.

The best lines are the funny ones.

this man is a genius

Well played 👍

In the first game opponent could’ve played Qe7+ and then bh2 obvs it’s very lost but not forced mate

4:46 He Forgot To Say Something.........

i don't get why the queen on d4 instead of directly d6

Last one was beautiful

"This is a funny line" **wins**

Video title idea (pun intended): making Titled players Tilted players with the Stafford

What an awesome pair of games, I'm blown away, thanks Eric, you're a ledge ;) lol

stafford is the ultimate way to play

Opera House mate(almost)

The Stafford is unsound and it's not so hard to refute it. It's significantly less sound than the Boden-Kieseritzky in the 3 Knights game, which Morphy played a few times in the days before proper defensive theory was worked out. The ideas are similar.

8:09 that was so cute

I always watch Eric’s videos after a long day at school, it’s so calming
