Hey! I’m International Master Eric Rosen. I regularly stream chess on Twitch and put many of the best moments from my streams onto YouTube. My content is family friendly and geared towards players of all levels. I enjoy sharing my knowledge of chess openings, gambits, tactics, strategy, including my beloved London System, the Stafford Gambit, and much much more! Be sure to subscribe for regular chess videos!

After six hard-fought games in the Madrid Chess Festival, I’m in a four-way tie for second in my section with 3.5 points. While I’m out of contention for a GM norm, I’m still in a position to finish first in my group. The schedule has been grueling, and I haven’t been able to keep up with posting recaps. Watch my last three games live on my twitch channel at twitch.tv/imrosen with guest commentators ‪@vampirechicken‬ and ‪@gaurichess‬ and cheer me on! I’ll resume posting recaps after the tournament. Thanks for all your support!
