Eric Rosen - International Master, Chess Maestro, and Puzzle Enthusiast
Eric Rosen, known in the chess world as IMRosen, is the International Master who dances over the 2700 Elo mark like it's a casual stroll in the park — except this park is a battlefield of knights, bishops, and pawns. With a peak blitz rating soaring beyond 2900, Eric is no stranger to lightning-fast decisions and tactical wizardry.
Born to mesmerize opponents with his crafty and sometimes unpredictable playstyle, Eric has accumulated thousands of wins across bullet, blitz, rapid, and daily chess games, proving that speed and precision can indeed coexist. His longest winning streak clocks an impressive 23 games, and his resilience shows in his astounding 84.53% comeback rate – when the chips are down, Eric doesn’t fold, he strategizes.
Whether wielding the Indian Game or commanding the Queens Gambit Declined, Eric thrives in diverse openings, boasting win rates up to 76% in some lines. And if you ever catch him playing the Sicilian Defense Open Accelerated Dragon Modern Variation, watch out — he’s undefeated there.
Known for deep endgame knowledge (he’s been measured averaging over 80 moves per win!) and a penchant for outplaying opponents well past the opening phase, Eric’s games often feel like thrilling novels rather than simple matches. Sometimes he even pulls off victories by timeout — proving psychological endurance counts as much as tactical prowess.
Off the board, Eric’s known for his approachable and humorous vibe, often bringing commentary and instruction to fans with a lighthearted touch. A quick glance at his daily playing patterns reveals he’s a morning strategist, peaking at 13:00 hours — or as he calls it, prime pawn hour.
Between rocket-speed bullet and thoughtful daily games, Eric Rosen continues to charm and confound with moves that are sometimes magic, sometimes madness, and always thoroughly chess.
Recent notable victory: A thrilling blitz win in June 2025 against “m_ezat” where clever maneuvering sealed the deal by resignation.
One thing’s for sure: IMRosen’s chessboard is his stage, and the audience? Always on the edge of their seats.
