The games have definitely been getting more complicated in the last few episodes. Rosen is now into territory where I would get eaten alive, I expect, but I can learn a lot from these games. Remarkable how flat the eval was in game 1 for nearly the whole game. There have also been real time pressures in a few recent games. Rosen will have to be more careful with the time, even if it means explaining more of his thinking during the review instead of during the game.

Thank you for saying the name and rating of your opponents as I requested. It is helpful. I will add that I much prefer your games versus players rated over 1700 since those are the ones that give me the most problems and who I face most often. Good to see that they even give you a good challenge too. But unlike you, I usually lose to them (especially those over 1800). With your guidance I think my score against those players will improve.

> Engine supports Rxd6. Probably, but with this layout, we viewers do not see the engine analysis you are looking at. So I had to use my local chess program to analyze. By the way, 25...Be6 is bad, but instead of 26. Ba4 the white could play 26. Ndxe4! (dxe4 27.d5). Also, the bar jump after 32.Qd2 is not due to 32...Nd3 (as I thought while watching) but due to 32...N6h4 preparing Re6.

The idea is that you have to manage your time before it comes to an end. It's just harsher conditions. You don't question 5 min versus 10 min time controls, right? So, with +0 you just get less time overall.

@a_wild_Kirillian 18 күн бұрын

@@RAFAELSILVA-by6dy , you only have to keep your time in level with the opponent. And you don't have to know how many moves the game will be if you never spend unnecessary amounts of time on finding the best moves. You have to optimize and sacrifice to manage the risk of less predictable game length. That's just a different style of play. And it's not really open-ended: you can reliably count on the game ending in 60 moves with like the first 10 moves of the opening when you don't really think. And for most rankings that'll be 30-40. In 5+0 min blitz that gives you 15 seconds for one move on average (your time + your opponent's time). It's a focus on the overall consistent efficiency. Less forgiving than increment. If you promote a queen in the endgame and lose on time, it's not the problem of the time control not giving you increment to accomplish your win there. It's the problem of you not being fast and accurate enough throughout the whole game to eventually beat your opponent in this case. Yes, you can't predict the future and know exactly how much time you need to spend. And that's just what you learn to deal with. You only need to be better than your opponent in the current game.

@atravisb_ 18 күн бұрын

Interesting observation. It is probably explicable, though I don't necessarily have the answer(s)! The following might be relevant, however: (1) In explaining all his moves, Eric is effectively giving his opponents time odds, which helps them; (2) He is probably not playing the openings, nor choosing the lines, that he would necessarily play outside the speed run (on which his rating is actually based); and (3) It may be that the ratings at Eric's level and those of his opponents around the 1600 - 1800 level are not well-calibrated, so that the theoretical win rates implied by their rating differentials may be inaccurate. (If lower rating ranges are getting more competitive over time (which seems plausible in recent years), and there is limited interaction between the playing populations at lower levels and much higher levels (at least over relatively short time periods of a year or two), maybe lower-rated players currently have a higher chance of winning against much higher rated opponents than rating theory would suggest?)
