A tale as old as time: Rosen getting up 1:30 in the opening, Time equality by move 14

That's my dad right there! I got him the blazer as a holiday souvenir, but I didn't know he wore it that day. So happy ❤😂.

Dude words can’t express how much I love your energy. The game ends with a blunder after an amazing fight, and you don’t huff and puff or even look upset, you just smile, congratulate your opponent, and laugh about it with him. Freaking love it man. I wish I had that attitude with so many things in life, but I let my emotions get the better of me

Eric as a fellow content creator I will always feel inspired as to how truly incredible your videos are. From getting everything set up, the silly music while the clock was getting fixed, the 2d board and the incredible commentary. Much much MUCH love!!!

Thank you Walter for the great game with Eric Rosen

It blows my mind that you’re not over 1m subs yet! You are the most wholesome chess personality on KZread, but I guess that makes sense that people are just really into drama and and Red Bull manic energy, where I like my Bob Ross of chess

Dang I was invested in how you would pull it off. Great informative video.

Thanks for this, I really appreciated the gracious way you responded to the situation.

pleasure watching this guy play chess. He is so wholesome. He takes his wins and losses well. A really likeable guy.

That was the defense of a GM.

Rodriguez is so stylish

awesome production quality, awesome game. Your opponent seemed like an nice guy. We need more :)

Eric is so humble in saying, "... missing the fact that his queen can move backwards."

Dude dressed like a GM, you played like a GM, but TIME stops for no one.

Great game Eric, appreciate the upload, good luck on your next game.

I love your playstyle so much. I really feel you embody the quote: "I want to take my opponent into a deep dark forest where 2+2=5, and the path leading out is only wide enough for one" Thank you for your videos!

That's rough, always sucks to lose a game like that. I'm not great at chess but that rook A2 move looked really tempting even before you mentioned it, although I only saw rook to A8 as a follow up, I somehow missed the queen taking the knight. Though I think in a similar situation I probably also wouldn't make it without being able to calculate a definite advantage/winning position; I've played enough chess and lost enough games to know that more often than not playing on instinct alone doesn't go well...at least it doesn't for me lol Great video as always!

Problem is that down a pawn and backward pawn on d7, allowing white to consolidate practically guarantees a loss. but… it is blitz.😢

oh no my queen! awesome opening preparation. I like your explanation style. Me too I saw the rook sac in a2 but difficult to play in a tournament. Online it is an immediate sac without thinking

Absolutely heart breaking 😭

Heartbreaking-you had victory in your hand. I was shouting at the board. “The roook! Take the pawn!!” Gotham had taught me this I couldn’t see a clear win-but draw at worse.

Interesting game as always Eric. I left my Q en pris the other day- pretty sure that isn't part of your online coaching offer..... but then..... Keep up the great content!

I would have liked to see the follow up steps after queen checks king.

That defense was ridiculous

great game!

After "unstoppable Qa2", what keeps White from running the king to the king side and finding safety, maybe on a light square? Would love to see what the real follow up would be, as it wasn't clear to you in the game, nor to me even now.

Great game! So close!

Good choice of shirt for the topic.

That ending was sad to see. You both played well.

Dude is that music from manic mansion 2? Day of the tentacle?😮

Would be nice to see how the attack plays out further after the Rook sac.

Woke up to new Rosen video = day made

between this and chessbrah, i'm really getting sold on the taimanov.

Can you share the prep for your Taimanov opening? Can you transition to that from pin variation?

Tough decision to sac a rook for a pawn. Your opponent played well too. Good game.

At 12:51 if the bishop wasn't covering f8 he would have back-rank mate. Great game, if you had even the slightest advantage in that position you would have won.

It's Qa2+, Kc2 Rb8. Here white should give up the pawn and run the king. If white tries to defend with Rb1 then Qb3+ leads to a forced mate in a few moves. With the b2 pawn captured, white wants to trade and stabilize, and get the h1 rook into the game. Black must avoid the queen trade, keep pressure with checks and tempo on the queen, avoid blundering a back-rank mate, and swallow up those central pawns. Too hard for me to play in blitz - I'd need at least 20 seconds per move to make sure I'm not blundering something (or walking into a queen trade).

Mr Rodriguez, never play an opening Mr. Rosen knows well! Eric, trust your instincts, mate; just go for it :)

How could you have mated him after the rook sac?

Sometimes I feel like the DGT clocks were designed back when people still communicated by Morse code.

that arbitrater beard fade

Eric needs to start wearing blazer jackets like that in tournaments!!!!

Should you have tried to keep at least one pawn rather than giving both away?

oh no i hate when people don't sac on b5 move 10 but your opponent doesn't even follow f4 by Bg1.. it's my theory as well, pretty sure Harakrishna course shows some of this in the free version too but yea, nice game from you

As a mere spectator, I would love to see Eric play more aggressive and risky chess, rather than slowly getting outplayed. Especially in blitz events, when there are no GM norms on the line if I understand correctly.

The title made me think that you may have been Kramniks latest victim of cheating accusation.😂

this is what happens when you let kids play in tournaments. they WILL hack your clock, and render it inoperable, pending a hard reset

Hyper aggressive Eric would've won this game going on intuitive rook sack on a2

This is why I hate touch move

Chess clocks are so terrible with their weird button commands, trying to have lots of functionality but only three buttons to input everything.

Wait... _I_ was 18 in 1986. I'm not as old as Rodriguez, right? RIGHT? 😭

So that's why they say knight f8 no mate

10:28 Rxa2 is the best ... Qa7 equal

The smug feeling when you see the move Eric chose not to go for and see you were right 😂
