This kind of enthusiasm for making a stalemate from a losing position is exactly why Rosen has become so good at obtaining draws. I may be biased, but I've heard a lot of GMs mention Eric as being one of the best at stalemate tactics and it's precisely because he's a motivated student.

Yeah the fact that he could think so quickly just amazes me. I mean I could never do stuff like this, especially due to the time scramble.

I never noticed before how the rosen trap depends on a slight delay, where he gives his opponent time to premove, but not enough to think and cancel the premove

Once you stop resigning this happens more than you think.

That triangulation with the king is absolutely GM level

Just as getting stalemated when you should’ve lost is more exiting than a win, stalemating your opponent when you should’ve won is infinitely more devastating than a loss

This should definitely be the name of the manoeuvre! When your king and queen are in the corner in a lost position, and the opponent takes the queen expecting a recapture while they premove something else. Similar to how the “Lefong” is when you play Bh6 while someone is premoving their fianchetto sequence, so you take the bishop and the rook for free

@rosiefay7283

That's risky, though. Even if they premove g6, you can't rely on them premoving their next move. They might see wBh6.

It looks like there's an escape at 3:43 for white on Kg1, but then Rf1+ forces the rook capture (and draw). Nice!

3:09 taking the rook with 0.00 left was incredible.

4:34 is so funny lmao.

the fact that learning how to get stalemated is much much harder than checkmating just goes to show how good his technical ability is.

The one at 3:52 is beautiful. I always look for a stalemate, seeing you do it kinda made it legal now for me, cause I always felt a bit bad not to resign being 30 points of material down. Thanks!

Imagine making 4 Queens and getting stalemated, man I’ll just look at the sky 24 hours straight for that one

This is the chess equivalent of a trick shot montage

On top of being funny and entertaining, this is also kind of useful. I now have a method for drawing: get your king into a 'stalemate position' and continuously check the other king. Time to blunder my queen!

The Rosen Trap never stops to amuse me, great compilation! :)

This is my favourite chess content - so so so satisfying

It’s always the same kind of stalemate too, his king in the corner with the opponent’s queen a Knight’s move away. Should coin that type of stalemate as the rosen trap 😆

the other guy be like "gah, my win!"

Eric down a ton of material: ha stalemate Me up a queen and rook: ha stalemate

Awesome vídeos Eric!

At 4:29 wasnt that hikaru?

Love it ! So good

Before entering Kero Sewers, Mallow advises that "his grandfather" told him to "watch out for Rosen", although Mallow does not appear to know what Rosen is beyond his name. After exploring the sewers, Mallow enter a large, mostly empty room with Rosen standing in the center. Mallow panics upon realizing the monster before them is Rosen, who then attacks them. After battling and defeating him, he tells the heroes the cryptic message: "If you defeat me, you still won't beat me. Beware the draw!" and stalemates his opponent.

The day has come when the clips video is longer than the main channel video for the day.

eric! my friend who used to really love horde because he was so good at it challenged me a while back. when i was horde, i had a pawn on first rank and fourth, and he had 2 rooks, a knight and a queen, and a couple pawns close to promotion. he premoved taking the pawn on the fourth rank, and i knew he would, so i pushed my pawn forward two squares to the 3rd rank, right behind it, and it was STALEMATE! from that day, my friend hasn't played a single game of horde

This is the inspirational content I need

My favourite bit is at 2:35 - he even managed to get an "Oh no my rook!" in.

I love "opponent made 4 queens.... he tried to humiliate me"

I love how this Queen King position has a name just like how Bongcloud does.

4:35 I’ve never seen Eric get so happy for a stalemate than a checkmate 😂

Eric: ah yes the rosen trap lets go! Opponent: *impaling his desk in*

4:36 hahahaha he litteraly jumped out of his chair for that one

Never seen so much Happy Eric emotions until this vid.

❤️ an Eric Rosen stalemate 🐐

0:43 is clever. It needs the wK to be on one of just two squares w.r.t. bQ and bB. 4:43 is similar but even more vicious because the promotion is immediate stalemate.

Eric Rosen is the type of guy that is more happy when he stalemates than winning.
