In this video I compete against my Twitch viewers in Puzzle Racer on lichess.org. To make things a bit more interesting, I give progressively more handicap each time I finish in first place.

  1. Was it just me wondering what in the world was happening while watching this video?

  2. You should do your full time and whoever beats you gets $100 and you keep going until someone beats you. You might grab attention from other Chess Streamers in the process but its a Fun idea 😌

  3. I was sure he was going to lose after resizing, muscle memory goes out the window when you have to get used to the new size.

  4. How the heck is he getting higher scores the less time he starts with? That is just insane.

  5. That's not fair, you're sandbagging for all the best items from the item boxes /j

  6. How is that even possible? Like how can he process every little piece’s position that quickly?

  7. I would love to see something like this with an eyetracker

  8. this is literally insane, The speed at which Eric can "IDENTIFY, PROCESS, AND ACT" on those puzzles is puzzling.

  9. The fuck you doin' bruh? how can you see that fast?

  10. Problem with puzzle racer as a spectator sport is you can't tell what the hell is going on if you watch better players. Might be more entertaining to watch bad players!

  11. When you sub with the comment “Let’s go!” during the race that he lost…

  12. 4:20 lollll his name is mathijs , not matt It's a dutch name

  13. Eric could do puzzle racer blindfolded and still beat everyone

  14. His performance SKYROCKETS when he's actually focused

    Such speed, such sight

  15. I want an Eric Rosen vs Andrew Tang puzzle racer

  16. Hi Eric. Which mice do you use? Can you give the exact name please

  17. Hi can I play puzzle race with you lichess id vishnu-prasad

  18. How to move pieces at such speed? i can't do it with ma mouse

  19. Eric, do you have any tutorials on solving puzzles – accelerated learning techniques – observation skills – rapid assessment?

  20. Came here after seeing another IM get a score of 125 in a puzzle race… I've been doing these for a couple weeks now and thought scoring in the 80s was good. I still struggle to get in the 40s. Some people just blow everyone out of the water.

  21. I thought my personal best race (86) was good until I watched this video 2:21
