@@zynh8930 As someone who played lots of 1min bullet on the board, premoving kinda is a thing...you hover the piece you want to move and ive seen many occasions where you touch or even move it before realizing what the opponent actually did.
Don't try in classical chess. Instead u can try it on bullet or blitz games. You'll never win if you try in classical chess. Or even the highest rated players except in bullet games.
I saw this video a few days ago. Wanted to try it since, and it finally happened. But instead of moving his bishop, he moved his knight to C3. I was so excited to play it I didnt notice. So much joy when I took his queen, so mich disappointment when he took mine with his knight and I was down 6 XD
I´m just a humble, 1037 rated player. Just won a 1609 rated player, a few minutes ago with this trap. It still took me 28 moves to win and he certainly gave me a run for my money. But just having this one trap moment was priceless! Thank you for this video, Eric. Just got yourself another sub. Best regards from Brazil!
Good work. I’m actually a bit surprised that it does so well in bullet because white gets two pieces for one and there’s a lot of premoving to go. Also, in the vid where it says premove Nc6, ignore that; it would mean replying to PxN with Nc6.
Isn't this a trap that really just depends on a quick game? I mean...everyone would see it a mile away in classical chess. I guess it ony works when people are like "Right: Imma use X or Y opening, and I'm done thinking now until all my pieces are developed"
That explains why everybody is now playing this against me - my favourite opening is usually queen's pawn. That also explains why everybody now has a baffled moment of silence when I don't take their king's pawn on the second move.
@@garagavia To confuse them since none of them actually know how to play a king's pawn gambit. I was 900 elo at the time. These days I take the pawn lol.
putting aside the typos in the first 2 moves if you have the balls to gambit your queen like that, you deserve what you get, whether it's 5. Qxc5 or 4 ...cxd6
After over 20 games as black and white playing E4. Finally someone played D4. Worked like a charm, my opponent resigned out of frustration on the spot.
Not me. *IF* I were to play against Eric in an online environment, I would mute the stream as soon as I realized he's my opponent. I'm not that lucky, though. -Probably because I'm still not registered to any chess website. Or to Twitch, which is where the livestreams are done.-
Never watched one of your videos before. Someone successfully did this trap on me. Tried it on someone the next day on lichess and he goes "lol is this that Eric Rosen one?"
@@jackdaniels1367 I apologise if I was one of them. By the way, no one so far has declined to play dxe7. But many people got lucky and played e3 or e4 at some point, destroying the idea.
watched half this video. jumped into lichess. started a 3m game. got black. tried this, premoved NE7. Won the queen. Won the game. Freakin amazing. Thanks.
I've seen and tried alot of your techniques and traps over the last year and I can say none of them have worked for me. You have such a big influence on online chess community that your traps get popular within a day and people don't fall for it.
This trap is not entirely new, but in similar from already known from the Budapest gambit Farejowitz variation. It may work in blitz games, but I doubt that it does in regular games.
We have openings named for e.g. "Queen's Gambit Refused: Albin Countergambit, Lasker Trap" (D08) - 1.d4 d5 2.c4 e5 3.dxe5 d4 4.e3 Gb4+ 5.Gd2 dxe3. So I propose to name this opening 1. d4 e5 2. dxe5 Bc5 3. Nf3 d6 4. exd6 Ne7 - "Englund Gambit: Rosen Trap" (A40). You've done more for this opening than anyone else. Only on lichess white have fallen into this trap more than 2,000 times. Even Gioachino Greco would not despise this trap!
Ooou great thx Eric! I saw this trick and immediately tried it and the very first opponent fell for it! Huge joy :) I love GMDerekandGMDerek'sfriend trap! Eric, you really are a great explainer, thanks for doing that.
I’ve fallen for this trap twice, every time after after QxD1 I play e3 and black thinks I’m just kind of giving up so they go for my bishop. After Bb5 I win back the queen both times
Eric: a NEW opening trap RU-vid view count: 9k views in an hour me: is everyone already playing it on lichess? not so neeeeeew anymooore just joking. thanks for your efforts, Eric!
I saw you do this on one of the daily dose of chess clips. So glad I got it down in memory the first time seeing it. Very thankful for you making a video on it. Thank you
700 Opening Traps is a unique collection of chess moves which set up the opponent to fall into a mating traps. All the games have been derived from practical play, from amateur to Grandmaster level. Opening traps are useful in blitz play, Internet play, and usually with players who do not study opening theory.
Oh, no wonder someone tried to do that on me. I just saw the hanging knight, was like “wait...” then just played e3 to avoid the trap. Then again, I was in a five minute game, so in bullet or 3 minute blitz it might’ve been harder to see.
Eric brother I love your videos and the way you play and all! I must say I have learnt chess since I was a kid but I took huge breaks from it. Then later I came across your videos and I was so impressed by the way you play that suddenly my passion for chess awaken. You are my favourite chess player and I can't wait to see you become a World Champ!
This will now become more well-known amongst the online player base, so there’s a lesser possibilty that this will work on people as time goes by. XD Just like the Stafford Gambit
