idk if you're at high rating but if you play Nf6 people expect you to play stafford and then you can just take the pawn and if u learn even 3 moves after this, people get flustered bcuz they dont actually win anything. again it probably doesn't work at high rating but i use it in 1500-1600 bullet with a lot of success

Eric Rosen has won quote of the year, we can all stop trying. "This is my bowling ball, these are the pins. I'm not stopping. I feel like a powerful hurricane." It really doesn't get any better than this. The only thing that comes close to Eric Rosen Stafford content is Johnathan Schrantz content showing all the insanely dubious gambits he somehow wins with. 😂

I range 1300-1500 Lichess Blitz/Bullet. I just checked my stats and I win 58% of my Stafford games as black. Not bad for a patzer in an opening that is +2.4 for white!

26:07 not a 'fake tetris', but a genuine pentomino. Try fitting all 12 pentominos into a 6x10 rectangle. 2337 ways to do it, most people can't find one. The pentominos puzzle predates tetris by quite a lot. I hope you get a chance to try it.

Why didn’t you play Kg5 after opponent plays b6 at 45:45 ? By attacking the rook with the night it traps the rook if I’m correct. Im 700 elo so there is a possibility that I missed something😂
@andrewcod Жыл бұрын
Ng5 is a good spot, and does trap the rook. But he wouldn't want to trade the knight for the rook in that position - he's down too much material, so it'd be simplifying into a losing endgame. Better to keep the knight on the board and use the move to create other winning chances.

@@christopherw1248 Ah, I see. So I was wrong, white does have to sac their queen, but still would have been up material and in much less of a pickle if they had played Ke1 Nd3+, Kd2 Rd8, Qxd8 Kxd8, Kc2. Apparently neither white nor Eric saw this line, because Eric was hovering over d8 with his rook rather than preparing to play ...Nd3.
