Genuinely don’t understand the decision to berserk almost every game at the end. I know 5 points is better than 4 but 4 is much better than 0 😕
"Okay, where's my mate?" Eric Rosen 🤝 bucks this time of year
A quackin ?? d ork and the opponents make moves to help Eric it seems. Every game the obvious is skipped to allow our hero to victoriously blitz all who dare to man overboard with him. Oh my, what can you do? Don't hurt me… Oh no I'm a ….??
2:47:48 black made it obvious he was cheating with QE7. Pretty amazing that you guys were dead locked even for like 50 moves while you were playing stockfish. Pinxit was banned a couple games later.

Eric, you are pure inspiration in such a crazy world. @ 3:48:12 was a highlight for me. The previous game could have tilted you…and it did to an extent of the next game…but you prevailed. Your attitude is beyond model. Thank you for reminding me of what's best of this human race. saludé!
Ben Finegold: Never play f3.Eric Rosen: Always play f3 checkmate.

I’m stuck at around the 1810-1860 mark, any tips I can do to get out of the plateau would be greatly appreciated, thank you!
15:58 That startled me little bit and made me happy.
Quick questions how do you get the arrows to show? is it your stream or can I make them as well?
A 3 hour video is really great . 🙂 . Thanks Eric .
