Dahh my sleep schedule
Dude I'm so sorry for you
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Hahahahaha nice one
Its 4.30 am now
Oh no my sleep. Anyways, an eric video.
Eric is the Bob Ross but of chess. "My pieces are happy ✨✨✨"
That's who he is! :)
I love when Eric says "It's actually a funny line here", you get so exited
29:40 the most panicked "Oh no my queen!" to date!
Oh no mY QUEEN!
29:46
"The king is slippery, how do I mate?" -Eric Rosen, 2021
Me going to burger king
@@watchableraven3517 - I have never mated anyone at Burger King. 😔
When he said where is my mate I felt that
@@2swag4gulag68 lol
35:17 "Trying to defend everything" -- Proceeds to blunder a bishop before finishing the sentence
48:02 "unfortunately i do have to go" and proceeds to end the video abruptly. hilarious
29:24 Eric hangs a queen and rook fork on b6 and opponent misses it twice! I’m just proud because this is the only move I saw that Eric didn’t in 48 full minutes :) thank you so much for the videos Eric, love watching you play
Yup
The rook pawn caterpillar method 'retract and expand' is something I'll never forget 😅😅😅 you're both humorous and instructive
had a similar experience today. Played what I thought was going to be my last rapid game of the day, noticed I'm 3 points away from reaching 1400 for the first time. The temptation got to me. And that's how I went from 1397 to 1350 in 15+10.
The stress of that final push always gets me😂
Eric the Nice Berserker is spoiling us rotten with these daily uploads . 😀 .
That rook sac for forking and queening was very cool
Yeah, it was awesome
16:12 for latecomers like me
What a nice Christmas present 🎁 ! Thnx alot bro, great content as usual 👍
35:40 I wanna take my own bishob 🤣🤣
Eric kept saying 'Dojo' Cat lol.. clearly doesnt know who she is haha
19:25 Kd4 to force the king away and not let any counter play with Kc5 is very instructive. I definitely would've taken on e4 and allowed that. Very clean
My friends and I cheered when you got stalemated at 42:07 Nice one!
Your friends from the bar and the library?
@@Jesterian They are 161660 rated and they saw rook a4, they just didnt like it
Rosen's content is always a blessing, especially on Christmas day!
You snapped in this video. I loved it.
Contract, expand, contract, expand, like a caterpillar. And then turn into a butterfly. 😂🤣😂🤣
Love these videos Eric is so laid back I love watching him play bullet chess as well. Maybe one day I’ll be able to Berserk 😂
What an amazing video. One of your finest yet Eric. You are definitely on top of your game for a few of these matches, really impressive stuff for a few of these matches.
A few of these matches were good
Love these vids. Your voice is VERY relaxing, as is your demeanor.
Which is even more incredible when "beserk" is such an apt description for the games he's playing!
Love your vids!
Eric!! You absolute Monster! ❤️ Loved this one Watched the whole video 1 am midnight
46:17 Oh no my queen after Rd8+, both Eric and Askamundsen missed it!
Eric realized this at 47:34
Eric may be the nicest guy out there but plays the nastiest chess
Yeah, true. The guy is so nice and innocent-looking, but on the chess board he'll trap and trick you in the dirtiest ways.
Incredible endings, thank you
I love how you ended this video lmao (and all the chess games of course :) )
Been watching this dude from a long time , your voice is peaceful eric 💫
Eric's "Style Points" @16:16 made me realize just how trash I am. I never would have found that pawn queening as "fancy" as I've ever play.
I usually stumble into fancy tactics, i find if I focus on achieving something, I get tunnel vision and miss other important aspects of the game. Focus on generally improving your play. Centralizing your pieces, attacking, etc. Through that you'll learn tactics in a hands-on sense.
Yay! Love these videos!
Let’s go Eric another upload
Merry Christmas, Eric! You're great, as usually!
"Contract, expand. And then you turn into a butterfly."
27:36 that's what I call an oh no my queen moment
"Every game i have like two or three seconds left" Damn Bullet time control kinda short haha :)
You're the best eric💪
So you play brawl stars
@@genfiveml Yep
8:00 I love the London too much lol
That was Hikaru-esque performance.
Good luck at the agadmator arena. No mercy!
God-tier play
46:29 i think you hung a queen via x-ray. White goes rD8+, which leaves the black queen undefended since the white queen covers the only square the black king could escape to to avoid check. Could be wrong, but noticed it quickly during the game
3:52 "where's my rent" Energy 😂
That was pleasant. It actually was.
lmfao 3:35 "i dont see no mate" omg thats gold come on dude dont play so fast rook A4
Of COURSE that's what Eric labels as "BEST accomplishment"
hosts a tournament, continues to dominate the leaderboard.
His voice so calming
Truly the pinnacle of human ability! (I say this at 26:35 - it might go downhill yet!)
Angry NPC MEME Top Left Square with Eric's Face: I Berserk in every tournament so I can win faster Top right Square: Yeah, but have you ever won a tournament berserking? Angry Eric Face
Two minute chess + berserking 😮
The Johnathan Schrantz gambit at 20:00 could be called a black Danish.
Eric Rosen is the Bob Ross of chess
Berserked the video Ez clap
Lmao dojo cat. Who’s gonna tell him?
2 sec left: "Plenty of time."
Hikaru cold berserk everygame
Eric Rosen is one of the most calm people in the universe.
5:10 how did his G5 pawn take the F5 pawn?!?
What in God's name did you just say there!? 22:51
4:50 It's easier to play with more time than less time...?
The difference in time between 1 minute berserk between you and your opponent is 30 seconds. The difference for 2 minute berserk is 1 minute. Some may find that although you have less time, your opponent having less time comparatively makes the game easier.
46:17 rook d8 for white wins black's queen nvm i just finished watching
hey eric can i send you a game to see your thoughts? im very low rated and got a stafford decline mate, i would like to see your thoughts on my play
How do you stay calm I want to scream
Yeah went for the style points lmao just toying with em now days huh?
3:34 He saw Rh5#, he just didn't like it
Omg Doja cat playing in tournament
Where's your coffee?
Turn into a butterfly
3:34 mate in one?????
Doused in oil. Off hand and sincere.
46:22 rd8 and queen hangs right?
I saw that too and was wondering the same thing. Unless we’re missing something
@@Artbydome No, you guys are right. Eric spotted this in the post-mortem at 47:34
daghhhhh
3:34 Eric had mate in 1 there
39 Rh5#
Before i got 10 blunders. Now i only got 5. Thanks.
8:13 why doesn’t black take the hanging pawn
why king b8 12:33
16:53 What's the dirty London trap?
1. d4 d5 2. Bf4 h5 3. e3?? e5 and the bishop is trapped. Most common continuation is 4. Bxd5 f6 5. Bg3 h4 (the punchline after the h5 setup).
@@evanwildenhain oh wow!
Eric: A minute is better than 30 seconds. All women everywhere: Finally! A man who understands.
Almost lost queen at 46:16
Oh no my queen at 29:44
Merry Christmas. The birth of Christ is the best day of the year! Remember why we celebrate it!
Could someone tell me what berserking does?
Hello

Do not try this at home, kids.
Njmkk
HO
How the fuck does Eric Rosen keep surviving and stalemating with 0.5 seconds left? Many situations where I would have easily flagged him (ok, probs wouldn't get those situations in the first place) but the opponent, high rated bullet players keep taking a whole second per move.
If I'm honest, I don't find these really short time limit games as interesting or instructive. Just too fast to follow.
Fast games are meant to be fun, not instructive. Every move is played instinctively.
