I think you might have misinterpreted Magnus's comment. I think when he says the game was pretty terrible, he means his play was terrible for his own expectations. He played below his capabilities and you definitely played very well.

magnus sucks at middlegames. Larry Kaufman: 'Magnus doesn't generally play such great openings, he strives to get the game out of book as early as possible usually. I think the issue here is that his greatest strength is the endgame, but FRC games are much more likely to be decided in the middlegame as the players are on their own so early. That's probably why he doesn't shine as brightly in FRC as in Classical chess.'

Yeah, he was referring to his play. I can't imagine how nervous you had to be playing him. Anytime I compete in anything and I'm ahead and upsetting a better opponent, it's hard not to let the pressure take over. Well done on this one!

1:35 Tge heart rate jump is crazy. Can’t believe it was around 65 when the game started 😂❤
I know it's not quite the same, but anytime I play someone who has a significantly higher rating than me I just get scared to play the most natural moves, even if I'm still in the opening, because I'm so scared of tactics that I might not be seeing.
The fact that magnus is aware of the rosen stalemate is so cool
I would love to see you Eric commentating the pro chess. I watch them and think to myself, Eric should be here right now.
Eric Rosen, 76 years old: "kids, who want to listen to an horrot story... it was pretty terrible! it happened 46 years ago, and I was playing with a GOAT ... " Kids: Me Me Me
I interpreted it as him criticizing his own play and that you had him cornered. Honestly sounded like he tipped his hat to Eric
I find that whenever Magnus makes such comments, in the blunt criticism way, he's usually referring to himself. Typically when he refers to dubious moves his opponent makes, he phrases it as not understanding the purpose behind that move or he refutes the move by say, capturing a hung piece. He's not much for ridiculing his opponent's positions, but he's super blunt about his own mistakes. When he plays badly enough that someone many hundreds of ELO points below him is possibly better or clearly better, he says how badly he played. I find that he's pretty consistent about that, because he has a pretty good handle on when he's made a blunder or when his position is clearly losing or worse, but if his opponent is playing in a way he doesn't agree with or understand, he almost always leaves open the possibility he's missed something particularly in online chess where he's commenting and not spending a lot of time deeply analyzing the moves. I've seen quite a lot of Magnus playing people online, and especially in the games where he blunders or loses outright, his reactions are almost universally identical. Often he is playing an opening he knows is inferior so he knows his position is bad, so he can save lost or worse positions, points out the opening itself is bad. Sometimes he will make a move just to not waste too much time and later decide the move has definitely made his position worse, and the few times his opponent makes some brilliant attack or sack that he didn't see, he usually says something akin to wow, immediately tries to assess if he's being mated and if he can stop it, or if it is time to resign. He's usually not very prideful about his position, he suffers from a remarkable lack of arrogance for someone who could beat literally anyone. It's a very Norwegian perspective. I say this as an American living in Norway for 8 years now, this attitude is super common. Norwegian itself as a language is very blunt, for example, when you pay for gas, the machine tells you something that directly translates to "friendliest insert your card now." They throw in the word "friendliest" because otherwise, it sounds like the machine is being bluntly rude and ordering you around. The culture itself is very not egotistical. The belief is mainly that we're all in this together, we're a team, individuals who perform above expectations are helping the team, or making the country better, as opposed to personal glory. Because Norwegian is so blunt, and English is his second language, and he's not very arrogant or egocentric, he will usually dispassionately rip apart his own position using very blunt language, but watch how he phrases his criticism of his opponent's position. He tends to use that non-judgment language like I don't understand this move, or he thinks it is a mistake, especially because he is aware he could be missing something in the position that gives his opponent an edge. I think part of why he is so strong is that his skill level and experience never gives him a swelled head, he's constantly in a state of wondering how his position is bad or what mistakes he has made or leaves open the possibility he missed a brilliancy from his opponent. When the position is clearly bad for his opponent he can occasionally say something like that, but he's usually really confident his opponent is in a dead lost position at that point. Because his personality, culture he grew up with, and native language makes him inclined to harshly criticize himself and leave it open that his opponent is somehow better even against his best judgment, and because that perspective is usually wildly different from the norm, I find that Magnus' criticism of his own position often gets mistaken for criticism of his opponent. I have a similar thing where I'm too afraid of making a social mistake and too afraid of hurting someone else's feelings in person that I often freeze up and don't talk to people and people mistake that as be being too full of myself to talk to them. Inward harsh criticism OFTEN gets mistaken for outward criticism. People just don't expect it, they expect people to be rude and arrogant.

Never resign when you have a knight “immediately loses his knight”
Rosen will play into ridiculous sidelines of the silliest openings known to man and seriously wonder aloud, “Hmmm….what’s the theory here?”

Can someone tell me what time on the chessbrah vod magnus plays eric?
I'm not sure if he called the game terrible; I think he might have meant "it was a tough game" as in it went terribly for him.
A worthy game! Being in equal or winning positions against the greatest player of all time is no small feat!
"Never resign when you have a knight." Thanks for the belly laugh!
Eric was so excited, he could feel his breathing.. i love zen mode whenever there is pressure to perform!!😅
Thank your for your service u tried hard that game and we appreciate your ability to brute force power through these set backs
You are one of the first chess content creators I followed. It was during quarantine, I'd just picked up playing again (used to play competitively until the age of 8-9, mid 2010s) to manage boredom in a healthier and more creative way. I believe I followed agadmator, then you and Gotham for more active content from stronger players. No shade to Antonio though, I still love his videos and his style of reacting to top-level games. I come back to your channel the most out of the three though. Your content is still game-oriented, not clickbaity or as in your face as other top chess KZreadrs. It's mostly you and Danya nowadays. I want to thank you for staying consistent and staying true to the game. When I watch your videos now I get the feeling that you're the best of both worlds. Cheers

3:12 ..."I'm in pain."
Definitely referring to his own performance. "Let grandpa Rosen tell you kids all about the time I got skewered by Magnus Carlsen as a young lad"
In Norwegian, "terrible" is slang for "great," just as we sometimes say "bad" in place of "good."
Nice game well played sir! Was interesting to see your heart rate. :) I love the wing gambit to take Sicilian players out of theory or comfort!

Hi Eric! I'm an 1800 elo regular watcher - I learn a great deal from your content. I agree with some of the previous comments - it sounded to me that Magnus (just from his tones etc) is commenting about the game as a whole: saying the game is "trash" but in no way indicating that your performance was. If anything, he was commenting on his own sloppiness. You lasted for over 40 moves, right? And he identified you to his buddy by your name. Grats for being a figure of such stature! Enjoy your studies, and I hope for a "rematch" between you two, hopefully sometime soon.
I think Eric is right that he had chances. For a while Eric's attack was menacing, he really had Magnus on the defensive. Not sure why he traded his queen, though, when it was so powerfully placed. But for blundering the king/rook fork, Eric still may have pulled out a victory..
Cant believe eric almost held a slightly better endgame against Magnus!
Oh I’m playing Santa Clause 😂😂
Well, you have to agree that 34 ... Ng4 was "pretty terrible" (allowing Ba5+)
3:10 listen to Eric taking that breath lol, me at 1300 takes the same one when playing on board in public
Bad luck & quite a flucuating, but interesting game, I think. Pity about the time trouble. Just judging by what the eval bar was doing, it looked like, after white's Qc1, there could be a better move than Ng4.
Wing gambit, huh? I used to play that, as a teenager. ARound that time Kamran Shirazi was coming into the club every now and then - he was from Iran and this a different period in global diplomacy before the Shah of Iran came to NY for cancer treatment. Kamran had the reputation of being something of a madman tho very a strong IM. He sometimes would play 1. a4, 2. a5 3. Ra4 and 4. Rg4 or something equally wild. Likely Magnus would have bet him too, f it makes you feel any better.
Dam Eric really dropped the ball. He always looks at the sacs first show how much magnus is in his head
Where is the "Tale of the tape"?..
You're known lol "he might try stalemate"
"Never resign when you have a knight" - keeps playing with 1 pawn.
11:46 how is it not winning the knight?
the queen trade surprised me, I'm sure if you would have kept pushing a little longer he would have collapsed
[Heart rate hits 150bpm] Rosen: Call an ambulance!
Go Carlsen! oops, I meant Rosen!!!!
I think he thought *his* game was terrible (since he got into a worse position and it was a bit chaotic game)
It is obvious that when Magnus says it was "pretty terrible", he is only talking about how HE played... Given the fact that you were 1 tactic away from taking a significant advantage with Nxh2, i can see why he'd be hard on himself about it! Gg anyway!
It is going so fast that just trying to catch up what they do is a challenge to me !

Easy to armchair QB but Eric’s problem is he plays so scared against Magnus. If this was Zen Mode he’d have won because he wouldn’t throw away a minute at the start second-guessing. Tough loss. But moral victory, in a way.
