Crushing (and Getting Crushed) on Lichess.org | Strategy Session - IM Eric Rosen 

Andrew Palovcak Great video as always!

He should teach people how to be more patient lol🧘🏻

thanks :)

relate hahaahhahaah

Thanks!! Hoping to stream it from the STL Chess Studio

shiet, Lichess itself got you cheating with audience

Ya these guys are upcoming world champions

I don't think it's technically a blunder. The computer prefers black after white queen captures the rook on a8

knight c6 blocks that escape route

Nh6+ black just captures it with the bishop. Bxh6 Qxh6. Leaves black soft on the F8 square but white doesn't have enough material to force anything. Game looks complicated pawns vs the bishop if simplified should be winning for white, I'd try to trade queens and keep the rooks on as black, as white I'd try to keep invading and trade everything if possible.

PhilNEvo I agree with the reply above. I don’t see how Black is winning a piece here. As the Bishop can just take. There’s no followup.

Bc5 was okay but Qxf8 was the best move.

Well had he played Na3 before, there wouldn't be a critical moment :)

im a chess pleb but seems legit 👍

Nice. At best a draw though since Bc5 Qc7.

codeMurp :3 Rxc6?

the rook is on a1?

codeMurp :3 my bad. Then, pawn b6?

its a kids class? im assuming he announced what he was doing on his discord so not like his opponent is unaware

idk if you noticed but he actually lost the first game to a much lower rated player by taking an unclear line for the educational purposes of the class lol

No. The fact that the room is full of players who are not nearly as good as the two players is actually disadvantage. The children are probably the reason why he missed the best move in the first game, when his queen was trapped.

Yea, having to explain your moves as you play them and listening to dubious suggestions sounds like a great way of cheating

If he was cheating, shouldn’t he have won against a player 700 points lower rated than him?

No. After Nb4, Be5 with check. Can then either move the rook or various other options.

First guy was probably "toggling". I'm around 1900 blitz on lichess saw some of those moves, but I doubt I would make such strong moves consistently in a game that complicated. He did probably stumble into the queen trap and put it in an engine to see how to execute it properly? But then his Nc6 ( I think that was the square) Eric said wasn't strongest based on engine eval and that's when I would assume he would've started using an engine by. Some of those later strong moves are easy to find tactics if it was a puzzle, but to keep making them over and over in a live rapid game smells fishy for what his rating shows. Eric stumbles with a couple of blunders in important positions, so it is possible it was just luck, (Personally betting on engine use, those blunders weren't dropping lots of material)

What are yall talking about, that guy didnt even have to do anything special, eric was making mistakes and his opponent just capitalized on them

@@TheHomicidalTendency i thought something similar, this nathan guy executed strong moves pretty quickly, but frankly, 1900 is quite a good elo so i guess it can be fine

Ridiculous. I'm hardly 1600 and I saw @8:50 Rosen missed Na3, which saves the queen. He made at least two more mistakes. He was obviously distracted by children.

No, but you already know that

​@Daniel Burke Imagine actually believing that

The first guy was a member of Eric’s discord server and knew the terms of the challenge

Jyotirmay Kalita ?

Watch someone else then
