1:06:10 "Dah! He knows how to mate with king and queen" – Eric Rosen while playing a GM…. hahahah
1:21:08
i’m an alumn <3
what happens when you berserk like what does it do except half your time ?
Black pawns are scarier than mine …
Thought this guy was real smart up until he asked if chickens have teeth lol
"… Bring the Bishop in and eventually mate"
50:53
Haha! " Its better to be calm before the storm "
Play Stanford they’re way better
University of Nevada Las Vegas challenges you
I think he missed taking a free bishop in London game
tfw u get smothered mate 59:07
48:42 My Father taught me Chess at age 5. I normally began with h4 or a4 followed by Ra3 or Rh3. My Father never corrected my error and simply captured my Rook with his Bishop winning the games at my emotional expense. Whilst I finally learned my lesson and gave up on this plan, true Justice would not prevail for another Thirty years when I had him placed in a Nursing Home. If you are going to teach your Child to play, correct his errors. Some Kids don't forgive. This one didn't.
"Let's play something reasonable… like a Budapest."
I wasn't expecting that, or the fact that I accidentally spat out my orange juice when I heard that.

Hi
"I'll play a (mumbles) whatever this is… this is something like kinda closed Sicilian type thing."
1:06:12
"He knows how to mate with King and Queen"
The opponent was Grandfreakingmaster😅
Smothered mate should be extra points
I didn’t know that the poke dot guy from “the suicide squad” was a great chess player
15:20 am i dumb or did he miss mate there? Rook h1 and queen h7 would have been mate
7:49
Bears. Beets. Battlestar Galactica.
56:06 Here and on the next move, Eric could have tried to catch Black napping with the tactical idea 6.fe de 7.Bf7+ Kf7 8.Ne5+ followed by 9.Ng4 , winning material and preventing Black from castling; though this would have broken the rule "don't go pawn-hunting in the opening".
Darn he knew how to mate with a king and a queen.
At 22:53 Eric's opponent should have played Ne5+ right?! Would have won the game immediately! @Eric Rosen
When playing wgraf how when he had no time left he got 2 secconds back per move and didnt time out?!?!?!
