They lost because they play hippo which means they have no clue what to do after premoving their setup. I hate chessbrahs for making this dumb opening so popular - not because it's hard to beat but because every games looks the same.

"Don't make so many pawn moves in the opening. Titled players are so good because they understand opening principles and theory." -Opponent's chess coach, probably

There is this other principle - if black rushes A5/H5 you as white need to push your own A and H pawns forward.

Titled players know theory but principles are guard rails for less experienced players. Titled players understand nuance which allows them to violate opening principles that beginners rely on. I’m not going to say that this video was an example of sound play that violates opening principles lol, but a chess coach wouldn’t say this about titled players.

"At some point I'm going to run out of legal pawn moves." heh.

Lots of lessons here! Don't play a double fianchetto opening without looking at your opponent's moves. When you neglect the center, your minor pieces can get kicked around. When the center is closed, it's less dangerous to be undeveloped and uncastled, but always look for checks/captures/threats or better yet don't break the "rules" unless you know the consequences. Beware the Qa5+ fork.

I feel like the prime lesson is that tactics, movement, position are king. General rules for beginners state that you need to castle early, control center, etc... but GMs do bongcloud speedruns and it's totally possible to get to 2000+ elo playing some silly shit if you just understand tactics & position better than the opponent.

This is art bro lol

I love the Hippo and Hedgehog defences. Done properly, that is, with black. There are some great examples at elite level, and they're reputed to be effective against aggressive players. Maybe you could play it in your Speedrun, Eric.

Epic and hilarious! Thank you for sharing, Eric.

There's a link in the description. I skimmed through, and most, if not all, of what he played in the first 19 moves was one of the top 5 engine moves which makes this game that much funnier lol

Same. It's always hilarious watching noobs get stomped by someone double their ranking.

The ending was a call back to your opening, forcing pawn moves.

10:33 should've played Nd5, then Kc7, then another waiting move, to let opponent promote before you checkmate them

Solid game. A prime example of how to apply basic opening principles.

One of the funniest games I've seen so far. I have to be honest, though, a strong player pushing pawns is very, very annoying to play against. They're surprisingly tricky to calculate, because most moves are silent.

Thanks for teaching us solid openings

19 pawn moves?? Reminds me of that Gotham video of Emil Joseph Diemer who played 17 pawn moves in a row

@josepherhardt164

Thanks. I was trying to remember that game!

a classic Eric Rosen chess video

Pushing pawns has *always* been my strategy.

"Don't try this opening at home" 😂😂😂

Yeah, you definitely needed to castle to bring your king to safety!😂 I was literally LOLing on this game. It was insane that Eric had his king and all pieces except the captured rook on their original squares with two empty ranks in front of them. Talk about space to develop!

That was the craziest game I've ever seen! 🤣

Excellent Eric!

Hilarious Eric! Well done!

“What a funny game..” yes indeed Eric ! Brilliant 😁

That's the greatest game of chess I've ever seen hahaha I was laughing throughout

I love these kinds of videos

Bro will have nightmares with this ☠️

That was so satisfying

Castling while not having a single pawn in your half of the board. That's a new one

Very informative.

So our rating is close too; I just need to gain another 2000 rating, and we are tied.

Great fun. Nice win.

I have remember to develop all my pawns now.

The Pawn-Demonium opening.

the foolish opponent didn't realise the gbbbbg setup gets countered by the hhaa gambit

Unintentionally brilliant. His entire Kingside is shutdown after move 24. He only has 3 pawns and a rook to 'move'.

Its interesting in this game that sometime a pawn move is a bishop move

Hey that's a Rosen trophy for moving at least 12 pawns in the opening!

Sometimes this kind of pawn storm really breaks the defence.. I can remember I lost a game against a beginner with this kind of pawn storm.. After a certain point I didn't have a single piece to move.. Though he was 400 points lower than me..

Same thing happened to me a few months ago - I ended up sac-ing a knight just to create some room for my pieces and still lost.

It is a Rosen Trophy, for moving 12 pawns in the opening

Brilliant, never seen anything like it. You must give it a name! PAWN OBLIVION?😁

That was hysterical! I could not stop laughing.

Well that was certainly a bunch of legal moves with chess pieces.

epic, i'm gonna try this opening immediately xD

The Rosen-Diemer gambit brought a win :D

Saw it on twitch, totally worth the rewatch! 😂

Hahaha this was glorious Eric

Good luck on crossing 2700 :)

Watch this video once for every consecutive pawn move

Crazy, unusual and fun 😆 A great way to cope with the madness 😎

Emil Joseph Diemer would be proud of your play.

It’s so beautiful

You moved your pawns but checkmated with opponent's pawns

Our hero is the best player in the world eho would even try this when 3 points away from their highest rating!! This is why he is loved all over the world!

Dude, Eric was playing someone half his rating. He'd had to have had multiple seizures during the game to lose to this 1300.

So funny, a full pawns opening invented!

This video should come with a Parental Advisory label

Like watching a Pro UFC fighter fight captain of a High School Wrestling team. How about a best of 5 match with a strong IM ? Maybe a 5+5 time control, not too fast, not too slow for viewers.

You are better than 100% of rapid players - and that's just presentation skills!!

That was a game and a a half..

I can’t believe Eric tried to pass this off as non educational content.

God, what a game!

What I learned from this game is that you can literally play anything against a 1300 and win.

I think that's how you play chess because pawns are blocking your pieces that's why they must be pushed to give way for your pieces.

Love your vids! Keep up the good work! (Also first)

Leela level chess

Eric needs to be careful or he'll end up like Emil.

Outrageous ... Haha !! Lots of fun ! Must try it for fun 😜

Bro played 1.g3 against Eric just to get clowned 💀

Are you playing with your food again Eric?

So your next challenge is 20 pawn moves in a row in the opening. Good luck!

You have officially reached Bobby Fischer levels of not giving a fuck.

En passant was legal pawn move

Very fun and unique game. Yahooooo!!

Wonderful!

At least your pawn moves have a purpose? The kids at the mall and the random couple that sucks at Chess always seem to make a bunch of random pawn pushes for no reason without touching a single piece until later

5:23 missed a Queen pin or am I tripping

I enjoyed that

Go my scarabs.

Was Rb4 not a faster mate?

Apertura veramente ridicola, tuttavia divertente...

Pawnerful Chess Opening, indeed.

2:09 I play h3...(editor: c6)

Someone teach Eric to control the centre please ;)

Hey how come Andrew gets to get up? If he gets up, we'll all get up. It'll be anarchy!

Is this the famous Pawnziani opening?

hilarious game lol

I enjoyed it

Opponent is a pushy

Non-pawn..... creatures
