I kept expecting Eric to say “oh but black can block with the bishop…” and couldn’t believe that I saw it and he missed it. Definitely makes me feel better about my own frequent miscalculations.

Rare to see someone surprise Eric in the Stafford! Not to mention you had a potential to get stalemated! Very very impressive play by your opponent

@KiridoesChess 5 месяцев назад

29:00 happy i saw that from a distance, Rook pinning the pawn, nice looking checkmate

@the_multus 5 месяцев назад

Very satisfying find indeed! I did find it too, thanks to tactics in Stafford!

@florianmarwede2248 4 месяца назад

Saw that too, I'm slowly getting better in tactics involving pins. Probably from watching Eric's games so often 😅

@user-pz8ew5bv4b 5 месяцев назад

i checked the first game with the engine and Qxg4 is actually the top move. Second best would be d4 to block the bishop, sacrificing that pawn and if black is not carefull and takes on d4 with the bishop instead of the queen, you can then go for that Qxg4 idea and actually win the queen in the end

@malekhaouas7848 5 месяцев назад

Thank you for looking that up

@ibidthewriter 5 месяцев назад

I saw the Bishop block, but I was thinking it so defangs the attack and you'd be up materia anywayl that I would play it in a game even if the computer had found a better line. Practically it's the easiest win.

@djconnel Месяц назад

I checked it. No way I would have found that move. It's incredible how quickly he went from spotting the move, realizing it wasn't as winning as he had thought, then realizing despite this it was still a winning position.

@joshuaeliason3138 5 месяцев назад

Eric is so good that even when he "blunders" in the first game, Stockfish confirms it's still the best move in the position.

Don't think I would have seen the mate in 1 if you didn't mention it, but once you did it became evident. I'm completely addicted to these videos! Keep up the good work :D

Dear Rosen Sir, My mother introduced me to Chess when I was 5 and instantly it was my drug! Had a local coach from a Club. But during a competition, i was lost to Scholar's Mate [As Black and same as White] ! That wounded my soul at that tender age! I was so frustrated then i stopped going to club and never ever played! Now i wish if i was born in the Era of RU-vid, I would had gone far ! Specially, the way you explain with candid details about the calculation. Love it ! I wish i had you as a Coach ! Love and Massive Respect from India. You are the BEST!

@jonshine 5 месяцев назад

I feel so much better about myself. Even Eric Rosen can overlook opponent's moves when calculating.

@kryanbart 5 месяцев назад

I didn’t see the mate before you announced it, but when you prompted me to calculate it did notice the pinned pawn :). beautiful nifty mate. Love the speed run videos because of your calm, kind nature so much Eric, i look forward to these videos every day.

@scheimong 5 месяцев назад

24:38 I think you overlooked Nxg5. I was wondering if that would work during the game, and afterwards did check and confirm it with SF. Looks scary with an open G file but SF says it's objectively equal.

@PedramPourmand 2 месяца назад

Saw that also. Would have been interesting to see how the game would have developed since Eric would have been down a pawn.

@calebwhales 5 месяцев назад

No series has me more looking forward to a new video. If I don't hop on RU-vid for a while it's always the top on my feed. It's an instant click.

@dmitrymashkov9379 5 месяцев назад

Eric, these episodes are very valuable. By playing slower games comes out more explanation. And so even with lower rated opponents some tricky lines do pop up. I watch every episode of the speedrun. And also I try to play at least one rapid game a day not only to improve but also to have a chance to stumble into playing Eric 😀.

@gabrieldegouveia1131 5 месяцев назад

So instructive watching you make new plans when your initial plan is prevented. I find being at this rating it’s really hard to find new plans when the position feels really equal and your opponent is solid. So hard to not take silly risks and throw the game

Excellent advise about the stale-mate. Very important tool to have. There was one game in recent tournament Abasov vs Levonian. Abasov was winning but Aronian found a genious move which forced Abasov to play into stale-mate or risk losing the game. It was great to watch.

@ArturoSubutex 5 месяцев назад

At 40:24 d3 actually works! If bishop takes then f takes e4, both White's knight and bishop are attacked by a pawn so you're winning back a piece and have a nice attack on the kingside (for instance if bishop takes d3, pawn takes d3 and then White can't really stop black from opening the kingside with bishop takes knight on f3 since it's pinned to the queen and attacked by the rook on f8)

@davidmcdonald8893 5 месяцев назад

@tetsi0815 5 месяцев назад

14:30 While "air" is the literal translation I'd argue that "breathing space" is a more correct interpretation of "air" in that context. Also I'd say it makes a bit more sense to say "give luft" than "make luft" as in "make space to give the king air"

@briantetreault3223 5 месяцев назад

Is it generally the idea in the English idiom "breathing room"; i.e. some remove, time to recover, etc.?

@alexandervolkov3943 5 месяцев назад

Hi Eric, in the 3rd game - I think just playing d3 on move 15 will win as well (instead of taking with the bishop when the tension was not yet released). Update: checked with Stockfish - it's the best move. Though it's not obvious, next move is not taking the bishop right away, but taking fxe4, so that there are two connected pawns, trapped bishop and pressure on the knight on f3. (Update: of course I meant d3, not b3!)

@drummerofawe 3 месяца назад

@andrewoliver2252 5 месяцев назад

@user-kf2qs2hg1f 4 месяца назад

11:29 I saw a funny line!!! When Bxg4 and Qg8 forking the bishop and a2 pawn, there is Be6, Oh no my bishop!! If the Queen takes there's a fork of the black King and Queen with Nc5. Man I was begging Eric to play this but he didn't...

I'm surprised I saw the bishop could block before you but it still ended up being the best stockfish move since you get so many pieces for the queen

@malekhaouas7848 5 месяцев назад

The first game was on fire🔥

@Arthas30000 5 месяцев назад

Doin quick analysis w/Lichess, QxN in the first game is correct. Eventually, black lands in a situation where they pretty much have no moves, even if they block w/bishop. Youre gonna get the black bishop to c5 and there's too much pressure against the B on f8

@cruetusnex 5 месяцев назад

29:03 I do see it, it did take me a minute though. The pawn is pinned so Qe3 is checkmate! Very cool

@pstgh 5 месяцев назад

In game 1, at the critical point of defending f2, how about sacking the pawn on d3 by moving it to d4 assuming opponent would then take with the bishop which would result in preventing him from moving the bishop back after taking his rook?
