The Strongest Chess Tournament I've Ever Played In 

Levy: Training to become GM in a series of practices Eric: *Some more Stafford prep*

lmaooo 12:12 he mirrored his past self so perfectly, even saying the line "lets get those g5 emotes"

Woah That's the one! Your game three post game analysis has finally saved me after 2 years. I saw the video of Korley's win a long time ago and had been searching for it but didn't know his name. It was early into when I started playing chess so I couldn't even remember the opening just the bishop pinning the rook and the faux queen sac. Now I have finally found it! Thank you so much, Eric.

"There's an en pessant mate potential....oh wait it's a free queen" AnarchyChess will not be pleased

Woah, he won against a GM in one move!! Reminds me of when I won against an IM in one move, except I lost horribly in not one move and I got checkmated by castling.

Oh no! My evening...

Since no one else said it I will, that thumbnail is amazing! One of the best I've ever seen

The Stafford game was just so so beautiful.

Eric, I love your long videos, it's like crack. Please don't fall into the TikTok short video game at the cost of these wonderful long-form style videos.

the viewer who originally proposed the g5 stafford is a living legend.

"I think D4 is too strong" ~ Eric, 2021

love watching you play these tournaments. eric you’re awesome!

this is so enjoyable and relaxing to watch. also love your screen setup.

When he says "There's a funny idea," be afraid... be very afraid

12:10 the flashback lol

Oh yes my hour long Eric Rosen video 🤩

Eric:if I take this I lose a pawn. Me:what’s better a pawn or a queen because I think you should take queen

7/13 in this strong field - good job Eric!

35:08 Stockfish needs to calm down

I dont get it, GMs and IMs are always like, i won a pawn, the blitz game is basically over, i win, and then proceed to lose material by getting forked or skewered lol, it hardly ever results in a pawn majority=win in blitz

Eric, you're awesome

Awesome thumbnail (Like a Dream Theater's album cover). Neat.

the flashback sound effects, very nice

ERIC: HEY, THERE'S A FUNNY LINE! ME: THESE MAGIC WORDS WOULD EVEN MAKE A GM BLUNDER AND LOSE

"My xqc thing ... a wooden shield" I died laughing

He saw it was Eric Rosen and ran away from the chessboard in fear. #BOSSLEVEL congratulations, Eric. Fiat Lux

The first 60 seconds of this video are funny af🤣🤣🤣

Love an Eric tournament

“The rook will be my teddy bear” -Eric Rosen

I just wanna say, amazing thumbnail Eric.

@23:45 why didn't u pick up tha pawn on G2 after Ne2 ?! I don't get it Eric , is there any intermediate move after taking on G2 !!!!

Love from Ireland 🇮🇪

I'm back only bc I missed the thumbnail. Great one!

Me: ooh i wonder what goes through the minds of players in high level tournaments Eric Rosen: oh no i lost a thing

If only the chess wouldn't be so exciting, this could have been the perfect ASMR video. 😉

in Lichess Swiss tournaments there is no rating change if either side forfeits!

the start was hilarious :D

Eric may I use your tricks for science purpose

Oh no, my Tournament! :)

At position 27 out of 54 youre actually even better than exactly the middle

Eric "probably should've not blundered a piece" Rosen

As varun said Evn I'm also having a big interest in watching IM Eric rosen videos before going to bed 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 We luv ur content ❤️❤️

Maximum respects 🙏 bigup and stay blessed Mr Rosen.

Also love from Peru!

Excellent effort against super-strong opposition!

Love your videos and streams!

Hi Eric, I thought id say that I would appreciate more videos of rapid games. Videos on of blitz games require lots of focus and there isn't as much time for explanation like there is with rapid. Love the videos though!

Very cool thumbnail!

Wow! I'm sweating from watching these tough games.

wait didn't I already watch this live like a long time ago ? I think this is the tournament where you played that g5 line in the stafford

18:06 *Vsauce music starts*

Great editing!

brilliant thumbnail

This is epic

From Italy!

why did eric sound like he was 10 years younger in that flashback

21:30 I don't know who I am I don't know why I'm here All I know is *Rg8 and g4*

Very nice game against GM BMWHero

We played Pin the Thing to the Thing at my sixth birthday party.

8:18 isn't f5 just straight up winning there?

That first game felt like a dance to me, I know you lost but I thought that was beautiful.

Are you working on your gm title Eric? Your a excellent player and coach

you're so funny eric haha, greeting from indonesia!

I feel so good about myself when I see Eric miss a fork and a pin 😊 everybody makes mistakes

I'm still a beginner, but why didn't Eric take on h4 at 1:18:39? Thanks! Love all the content, Eric!

"opponent seems prepared" lol he/she's 2700 +

41:53 it's average by definition

when you search chess and eric rosen is the 2nd person to show up lol

"The rook will be my teddy bear".😂😂😂

The first 2min were in a vid u posted in ur clip chanel

Wooow, amazing games!

So I'm only around 1000 but isn't the best move for black at 16:30 Nxd5? bc the pawn isn't really defended since if Qxd5 Qxc3 forking the king the bishop and the rook after wich the best move imo is Qd2 to block the check and defend the bishop? So 17.exd5 Nxd5 18. Qxd5 Qxc3+ 19. Qd2 Qxa8+ nvm I looked at an analysis and it would be 17.exd5 Nxd5 18. Qxd5 Qxc3+ 19. Ke2 Qxa1 20. Qc6 so the white queen would do the exact same to black

What a nice tournament.

Its 12:48 Am in India Me: oh my sleep

this guy actually took a picture of his monitor... that was connected to his computor. boomer

Congrats to new Peak

Should have berserked in Game #1 to get the easy points. :P

Keep trying you will get them next time

48:15 What does "I was supposed to flag" mean when Eric said it?

I've never clicked so fast in my life

Wow Eric’s voice changed so much from last year

Nice video

"...restricting both minors" *FBI has entered the chat*

Am I going crazy or is Eric's voice lower than normally?

16:05 why not Nxd5 from black?

They got channel Levitov chess They got good chess content in Russian

From india

What is "WIM" title

Wohooooooo lets goooo

Get eric and levy to gm now

dude you always do this - the London is a perfectly respectable opening with a deep trove of analysis - why do you always seem to wing it?

Does eric have a missouri accent?

Played chess as child. Don't like it, I am working now with your videos every day and I am best amateur in chess club. Love your education on French defense.
