Nice win! The second half of that game had a lot of positions where I think Ben Finegold would say "If two engines are playing it's equal, with two humans black always wins".

[AJD...]

The middle game was just beautifully done. Kudos Eric

10/10 at explaining yourself Rosen. I respect your chill vibes. Have a great weekend!

22:00 opponent resigned with 2-58 on the clock to Rosen's 47-43, that's a big margin in time! Well done. Thank you for the recap.

[RobDurham]

Solid win! Looks like you paced your time well and never gave him a chance to gain an advantage. Kudos!

[yogagrin]

Well done. Nice game. Thanks for sharing. I really appreciate you talking through the moves. It really helps ❤

[sheikmanzoor]

The amount of calculation that goes into each move 🔥🙂

[garys]

Great game Eric, glad to see you get the win!

[EnglishroG]

Thanks very much Eric, and congratulations for an impressive win.

One careless move and then things went downhill very quickly

Chess in a nutshell (at least above a certain elo)

Just noticed Lichess lists one of the Mongolian players' names backwards. Möngöntuul is the given name, while Batkhuyag is the patronymic. Weirdly, Boldbaatar Altantuya is ordered correctly right below her...

[ianallcroft]

Yep, really nice game. Well played Eric.

[pabloalvarez]

I kinda get one of the "clear plans" once every 6 videos.... 😂

[samazon]

Disappointed that Eric didn't mention chessmood.

[maxmustermann-xskg]

97% accuracy? This is very clear to me

[coltonward]

Eric! Idea for you. Can you have themed speedrun episodes after Switzerland?
For example, for the next 5 episodes I’ll play the scotch with white and the Sicilian with black. Also since you’re into crazy gambits, have you seen the Cochrane variation of the petrov? It’s named after an ancestor of mine. Would like to see it at some point.

Best of luck tomorrow Eric! No need to say you played great since Stockfish already said it ;)

[uthoshantm]

This game shows the difference between a 2000+ player and a miserable 1000+ (me 😢)

[Siderite]

Too bad I can't post the LiChess Tools augmented chart, with its Accuracy line, where you can see the dips and highs very clearly.
