Strong aggressive games against solid but not phenomenal players is one of my favorite video types from you.

You would love my style then lol. I'm always hyper-aggressive, even against players my own level. But when I play against lower-rated players (i.e. what you call "solid but not phenomenal players" - so 1800 to 2200 on Lichess), I usually end up absolutely annihilating them lol. This is my favourite rating range to play against since any lower than that and I just win by capitalising on simple blunders, and any higher than that and the games tend to be a lot closer. So 1800 to 2200 is the goldilocks zone for total destruction lol.

His killer instinct is clearly visible behind that gentle facade.

Sometimes I'm just thankful that Rosen picked up chess and not, I don't know, mixed martial arts. I feel a lot safer in this version of reality.

Seeing that thumbnail with Eric like some kind of evil malicious player and the aggressive title while being literally one of the kindest and wholesome people on the internet is just such a funny contrast. I love it

he can only be so nice because he got chess to let out his inner killer... i'm sure chess saved the world countless serial killers xD

I like how something he's trying to work on is happiness and of course world domination

He's murdering his opponents with agressive chess while commentating with his calm ASMR voice.

Quack

How often is it that Eric says, "This is not good" or "This is really bad" or "I'm in trouble"... then... "hee hee"... wins.

Eric is so fun to watch when he plays ultra aggressive. It feels like it's second nature to him.

31:10 "I have to be aggressive here, it's not easy" poor Eric

The first game was something. Never seen anything this wild

44:00 opponent missed Bh3+, which would have won Eric's queen

"This knight is being fed too well" 😂

Yes. Great to have the OG videos back. This is what we missed

Excellent triple, fork, mate in game 1. … queen trap soon after… just all around excellent play! It’s been a while since I’ve watched your videos, but always get a lot out of your content! Thanks Eric!

Was the most fun chess video I've seen. Well done Eric! Love these vids! Definitely the queen sac for my favorite game!

damnnn that first game was next level

Happiness: the ultimate goal

This is awesome. So much fun watching aggressive chess. Just more interesting albeit likely less sound.

All the games were exciting, it's hard to choose one. But I definitely liked the game with the symmetrical Italian attack and Smith Morra game. Thanks for the video, Eric ❤. It's always nice to see your calm aggression )

Love these kind of videos! Keep'em coming!

Eric not only defined how to entertain us with his great aggressive chess but also how epic thumbnails have to look alike. 🔥

Erics thumbnail game has always been on point

Now I understand those exercises/games purpose where goal is to mate in a very small window of time. Not there yet but I am learning various styles watching your channel. Thanks for sharing.

Classic IM Rosen content here! Your ability to effortlessly slide between positional and romantic playing styles is phenomenal :)

I highly enjoy both the aggressive and the calm instructive games, I just enjoy watching you play

Eric! You are the man! I have learned so much from your videos. lol I want to make a song and the drop will be "Somebody call an ambulance... but not for me" 😄

Eric, please more videos like this one. I really liked when you play different gambits.

Love it we need more of this content !

Fantastic attacks! Thanks you Eric!

Awesome video. It's cool to see pro's play "bad" moves because the opponents definitely don't know how to punish most moves especially is a blitz match

It feels coming from a blitz/rapid background that you favor lines that are aggressive naturally. I’m always too afraid to take these kinds of lines and fear I am opening up a multi move blunder or hang a piece.

thanks for the aggressive version of content my favourite game was the first gameas the queen sac put you in prime position for the mate a few moves later the last game was a sweet finish with the hungry hippo knight though it was a close second lol

As someone who has played the O’Sullivan Gambit hundreds of times… happy to see you pull out that W with it!

That was very entertaining ❤

Omg I love this type of videos!

Eric u the man , love your attitude towards chess, and life

What a start!!

Excellent berserking! Mucho excitement!

That first game 😂

This was awesome.

love that fourth game. Good game

This was enjoyable

Yesss new chess vid!!

at 45:45 Erics reputation gave him a free pass to blunder. The opponent was probably telling himself "Oh no, Eric is sitting in his room saying 'OH NO, my knight' while planning to win my queen or something"

Nice first game 🔥

One of your best vids

I'm glad you are addressing your anger problem, it's been clear from day 1 you're a rageaholic... I hope you manage to kick that sweet sweet rageahol.

I clenched hard at 44:00 , thought Eric was about to lose his queen. Lucky both sides missed it

is it me or is Eric sounding more and more like Lock Picking Lawyer every day?

“Marinate the pawn “ never heard that, never will forget it now

I finally understood how to play aggressive chess! It's simple, if opponents plays this I play this, and if opponent plays this I play this, but in a rare occasion of opponent deciding to play this I just play this, this and this and I win!

Great title, Jason Bourne of the Chess world. Great idea for a film with a drunken monkey opening and a philidor defense.

that was violent

this was fun

Thanks!

I envy your knowledge so much. You are my favorite chess player

Yes! This is what we want for 2024! Love it

You make it look so easy

Out of all the blitz games I’ve played against Rosen, I’ve never lost.

no queen trade. 1st game - please, have my queen ;)

Very entertaining chess

When Eric can't stop his aggression it's all fine, but when I can't stop my aggression it's "sir, this is a school" and "you're scaring the children"

I can't stop watching Eric 😮

Question about the position at 31:00 -- Is Bishop A4 a playable move here? Reasoning: B Pawn can't block check (they will be captured with check). Also, looks like a scary fork but isn't which is fun. Queen can block but will be captured. If knight blocks queen is captured. If king moves it loses castling rights. Looks like black's best move it to block with the C pawn. Possible interesting follow-up If white plays knight takes on D6 and if queen takes, white plays bishop takes on F6 and after black recaptures with pawn white takes the pawn with the rook, pinning black's bishop.

The year of Dark Rosen has begun!

Just coming from Eric’s twitch channel where we had a viewer blitz tournament! Get over there sometime to have fun with us!

28:18 no stalemate trap haha

tht first game was crazy

at 44:00, would the opponent have ...Bh3+ to win the queen?

Agreed. He said “pinning” haha but just walked into a discovery lol. I honestly expected a “doh” since opponent is 2100 and had 2 minutes on the clock, but his opponent seemed to be playing like they berserked so he got away with it haha

Eric goes chuck norris mode

Feeling like watching Schumacher racing my grandma.

Did Eric blunder discovered on queen at 44:02? Bishop f3+ should lose the queen since black queen can capture for free

On move 24 in your Game 13 with Raoni, could black have won your Queen with ... Bh3+ 2. Rxh3 Qxe5?

You are absolutely my favorite

14:06 why not queen f6? If they take the pawn it is mate and if not you put pressure on the d pawn

Eric please do not scare me im trying to sleep

Super 🎉

Bro is a master

Couldnt you have won the queen at 22:43 on top of the Rook with Bc7?

saccing the queen is just very efficiently avoiding queen trades.

You chose the wrong move order. It's 1. World domination 2. Creating happiness

2:25 why not Q to d2? or d1
