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 Youtubers. 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
wheres the volume?
'I was trying to set up a stalemate trap' your a queen down against best player ever resign dumass
I trust that you don't cheat but I can totally see how easy it would be for an unsporting player to cheat only very occasionally – perhaps only when there is one move that will result in an improved position and that improved position is unusually decisive. A player who cheated like this – only one or two moves a game – but the most important moves – would be very difficult to detect…
your reading comprehension is terrible
Wow. Listening to Eric comment that he thought that his play against Magnus was "maybe a story to tell his grandchildren." Just a class player all around.
I think youre madly underrated and that Magnus‘ comment was about his own play, cause he mentioned that hes getting busted. If not, then Magnus should maybe check the game before saying things like this.
Pretty terrible
He criticized his own play. Because you made 2 blunders which saved him.
Magnus is not known for making accurate accusations against opponents
nice
You'll never be in a position to formally compete with Magnus OTB. Calling him out publicly doesn't help your case. Yes, it was a nice game. But we in chat are no Magnus caliber players. Magnus felt the game was terrible and based on his standards he has every right to say so. I would be proud and happy to play Magnus if the opportunity ever presented itself. The last thing I would do is call him out to critiquing the game.
Rosen will play into ridiculous sidelines of the silliest openings known to man and seriously wonder aloud, “Hmmm….what’s the theory here?”
magnus invokes his 'terrible' play quite often when accepting another 1st place trophy
He meant HE played pretty terrible – it was a fun aggressive game and you found the moves pretty well.
Damn!!! Its Win +16/Draw +8/Lose +0 for Eric. First time ever I've seen this
when the goat said you played bad you should listen.
There is reason why magnus is the best and Eric Rosen is 2nd best
Move 6 was an illegal move because en passant is forced.
maybe the game was pretty to him, and he called you TERRIBLE!! (if yes, SHOTS FIRED!!!!) lol
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..
Cool, I don't know about chess software but I didn't know it's possible to challenge a #1 guy in chess as a terrible player in today's landscape.
Dam Eric really dropped the ball. He always looks at the sacs first show how much magnus is in his head
Honor ya right
Magnus thought it was terrible that you almost beat him with the black pieces. Smh
stop saying geems
dude Qe6 is the most horrible position for your Q. Qa5 was much better.
I agree
I think Magnus is either self critical or full of sarcasm.
He's such a terrific and amusing guy though. He makes chess amazing!
should have resigned
You had opportunity's and missed them…that's why you are an IM and not a GM I guess
Yeh you beat Magnus twice in non-tournament games but how many times has he beaten you lol?
You never mentioned that at the start…
Also, do you really think you’ll stalemate the GOAT and end-game GOAT unless he wants to be stalemated?
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!
I'm scratching my head as you go on to say Magnus could have done ….. etc. etc.. was his win not good enough? should he have beat you worse?
I love your heart rate monitor spiking by move 4. Shows so much respect.
You should play a tournament again soon Eric, you are in godlike form now! Get that GM norm🔥
You made word fatal error that stockfish did not pick on. You took Magnus down to an endgame. You were better, swapped queen's you went down hill. Why do IM's GM's keep doing this! The Fish cam find every possible string of moves when 7 pieces on the board, I think Magnus is not far behind!
A rise in heart rate is necessary to meet the demands of physical exertion and/or an impending threat to one's life or physical well being. Funny how we have evolved to have this happen with a chess game.
For people to try n justify magnus tells me they never seen magnus character dude is a scumbag
I put Magnus up there with Ficher and Morphy. I suppose my ELO is not high enough to really understand why he is the GOAT.
If you can last 50+ moves against the best player in the world. you're doing something right.. Cool game.
It was terrible in the sense of "so many blunders from both sides." Like as if it was between lower-rated players.
I like the big smile on your face 😊, plus 150+ heart rate. Be careful out there!
Bruh, Magnus rekt you from his phone? With 1.5 mill left in blizz? Eric Eric…. Maybe it's time to quit
…thinking that Magnus isn't aware that you are renowned for stalemate traps.
…and also proud that you are aware that Magnus knows that you are renowned for your stalemate traps.
3:12 …"I'm in pain."
How often do you make the speed run serious? Is there a set day of the week you post?
I can just imagine the endgoats reaction when you got the queens off: Really? Really brah?! Well mmmkay then!
He was talking about himself;)
You are such a nice guy you don't play your natural style, i can feel you tense up when playing magnus. He is just a guy, he can bleed imagine him sitting on the toilet. You can beat him.
