In this video, I play my first ever Jalalabad Opening (inspired by Gotham Chess). While the opening is quite dubious, it led to a memorable story to share with my future grand children.

I tried it today. Certainly one of my most chaotic wins.
When did Eric Rosen’s channel turn ASMR?
Through the Jalalagood we have reached a Rook and Pawn Cube Endgame
I believe that the verb you were looking for was “inching.”
Love chess
Love chess
Started playing this opening . Great video!
Jababalad.
4:14 "I'm attacking this pawn… Also has a knife"
Oohhhhhh
hi twitch : ) <3
cool video
15:45 "But then I become a butterfly" sounds like seomething you say when you're completely stone lol
Fun Fact: Jalalabad is a city in Afghanistan, this video made me proud as an Afghan haha…
Clickbait :/ After 4:Nc6 this "Jalalabad" just transposed to one of the the lines of Old Sicilian which is rock solid, ubiquitous and boring. Nothing to see here.
Went from Jalalabad to Jala good and ended being Jala great
The most chill person ever
Hi twitch
Slink. Caterpillars slink
jalalagood
Hi twitch chat
👋✋👋
Connect Four Endgame, Cube Variation
The opponent: haha I’m making an im lose time! In reality: what’s it called when caterpillars compress and decompress?
Eric pog emote when?
10:23 the pawn cube
It's like a Borg cub.
The fact that this title exists is amazing
“Also has a knife, no, knight…”
He actually got a bit lucky there. When white pawn is on A7 he could’ve moved his white rook to B7 then B8. If black rook takes then pawn takes rook and queen or rook takes rook. Probably still couldn’t beat that pawn cube anyways though🤣
Hi to twitch chat
You've created the revered pawn cube. Now it's time for the legendary pawn tesseract, with the other 4 pawns at the corners of your cube.
Eric Rosen's calmness is what the world requires right now.
🇦🇫
Is it about my cube?
Jalalacube
Жалал-Абадтыктар барсынарбы?!
10:09, inch maybe the word?
Pawn smiling is an image I just can't unsee now
Yeah, i was listening to the video while playing chess
caterpillars inch eric
This is the most hilarious gambit name ever lmao. Makes me think of a family guy suicide bomber scene
"Pawns are the soul of chess" -Eric, probably
Jalalabad stonewall
0:43 "Making the pawns smile."
—Eric Rosen 2020
wow, there is such an opening? it is a city in Eastern Afghanistan!
Bongcloud’s UPDATED VERSION !
F in the comments for the city of Jalalabad which was taken over by the Taliban earlier.
Chess opening principle: The center of the board is the most important area!
Eric: 10:23
Oh so good
