This week we are looking at IM Eric Rosen, the popular Youtuber and Twitch streamer famous for his "Oh no my Queen" traps. 

Growing up, he started playing when he was 7 and won the 3rd grade state championship at the age of 9. When he was in high school he won the 2011 US K-12 Championship with a perfect 7-0.

That clear of a victory was so unprecedented that the Skokie Village Board (his hometown) called May 16th, 2011 "Eric Rosen Day". 

In 2015, he collected his final International Master norm and peaked his rating at 2423. 

Eric is also an established photographer. He was the lead photographer during the World Championship in 2021. 

This week, we are looking at a game he played against Adam Cap in 2017. 

Now, if we're ready - let's begin.
