@lucasmatsuoca
Жыл бұрын
my day was ruined when i checked the engine and it says it is a bad sac because white plays Kh1 and survives with a winning position, black can't checkmate because the queen is glued to the rook on e8, if it moves without check, white's queen takes on e8 mate

Another amazing 3 hrs long chess enjoyment from Eric Rosen! 😊 Wait, I haven't checked if you have gathered all of your super long chess videos in a playlist. Let's go and check.
Didn't expect such amazing play, and all without a duck. So proud of you Eric 👏

Dark side of Rosen: "there we go" spoken softly like a psychopath enjoying the moment of a victim's last breath.
That first game was sooooo good!
damn insane comeback 48:25
I appreciate you continuing to make good content amid the bs chess drama. Keep vibing Eric, thats why Im here.
Pleasure to see these though fights
Please make a video with that music from the beginning in the background the whole tiem. It’s so soothing

Thanks!

Oh no my rook, bishop, knight!!
6:13 Eric: woo :o
Game 1, underpromotes to a knight with mate vs. a GM. Ok, you've got my attention (as always)
Yay!!! Oatmilk and Oatmilk latte gang!!! ♥️🌱
love 3 min games
Hey Rosen, you are getting really good those past years, do you think you could achieve the gm norms to become GM Rosen?
I love playing the sleep gambit
Oh my Sullivan
When you're in speedy heart rate mode, my heartrate hits about 120. When you're just playing a slow easy game, my heartrate is 120. I just have a crazy high heartrate because of all the sugar I ingest xD
Ah yes, tilted Tuesday… you read that right
What program/app are you running that allows you to move pieces around prior to actually moving?
I have just enough tabs up that this tab is labeled "CRUSHING GRANDMA".
This King's Gambit was so naughty. So many pins…

Around 58 minutes, dopamine levels real time, not to my knowledge because of invasive proceedure. MRI and subsequent analysis is real time possible if chess board communication in a non magnetic form is possible.
That checkmate with the knight , funny over the board laughter
Hearing Eric likes Pumpkin Spice is disheartening.
Eric’s voice is Pentatonic
WE NEED DUCK CHESS VIDEO
Oh no my overworked brain cell.
Not only can you not monitor dopamine levels in real-time but you can't measure them at all. We have yet to find a way to measure neurotransmitters
Oh no my sleep!
At 1:48:58 why not Re8, pinning whites queen?

Ah yup you’re right. Every time I think I found a move Eric misses, I always miss something.
O'sullivan has been 7 times world champion.
It would be interesting to monitor viewers heart rates! They probably wouldn’t be higher than yours, but they’re definitely up there during the time scrambles! Lol.

I always cringe at how slow Rapid players are with the mouse. Eric always flags them with a quarter of their time
Can someone please explain why it'd be hard work for Eric to complete his GM norms when he beats GM's so regularly? He's rated as high as low GM online too 🤷♂️

Tournaments-where you get GM norms toward the GM title-with classical time controls are much harder to win versus online blitz time controls.

If norms were possible to obtain from blitz OTB tournaments, he would be a GM, but classical format is just totally different. You need some next level of chess understanding to pull out some GM performances for the norm. I already defeated a WGM, and got a draw with an IM, and I’m often playing FMs and CMs, but all on blitz online, I would be obliterated from the opening on classical format
