Me watching the video at 4AM, then Rosen says sleep is important, don't stay up all night...
Does no one tell Eric to go back and look at the mate in one?!? It's driving me crazy.
When you are 1200 and you see the move, but Eric doesn't. For everything else, there is a credit card.

Eric, architect here (who frequents St. Louis homes): if you're having issues silencing your HVAC, there are some liners that you can get. Also, sometimes the unit is overpressurized, which is an issue of improperly sized ducts or grilles. Try changing the grille first--even leaving it off--to test and see if it reduces the noise.

In arena you should be mating quick. He just missed it, definitely wasn't on purpose.
At first glance 19:25 the bishop isn't trapped. Opponent had Nd5 with a discovered attack the queen and blocking the bishop pin 💫. Fun.
Bravo ! Great Match.!
Why this man’s videos are awesome
Insane win!
Eric positive mental attitude keep it up
Your skills premoving are almost world class. Dirty flag it may be but where all of your other considerable resources fail, it works for you!
When Eric say 'oh, no my rook' he smiles and then there is a funny twist of it, and often he follow up with there's a cool line.... When I say 'oh, no my rook' the rook is swept away and there is nothing funny at all about it....
thanks for the content eric its very much appreciated :))

Ohhh tea recommendations
44:24 there was Rh8 and then Nxg6 winning a piece
What’s nice about watching experienced players do chess, is they can move and know how the other person will respond ~ calculation is possible. Granted when playing lower level players, they do random moves and they’re easier to beat but it’s sporadic and frazzled
Ok if black does not have this pawn , this pawn , this pawn , and this pawn it would have been stalemate . Very deep thinking rosen sir😃😃
My Alexa goes crazy answering your Alexa questions while watching your videos... lol 😂
Love you eric

Is stafford playable in slow chess? I’ve been playing it in blitz but don’t know how well it would work in longer time controls.
Hey Eric I tried the new trap after white plays D4 and you pre-move the knight and then white loses a queen. Its funny and it works, thanks!
Moments that made me laugh 6:00 .. Ohh the bishop moves backwards 11:29 .. Kiss of death(darling in the franxx) 15: 56 ... Mate in 1 missed 😂he said almost mate
