Who has the highest Rosen score? Currently I think it’s him with 1541 but who else does? Also, has anyone ever done the Mona Lisa checkmate? (having every piece back on its starting position)((in a real game))
i have 73 :((

I have 124 Rosen Trophies with 21% of the goals completed (13 out of 63). Eric Rosen has all of the goals completed except the Mona Lisa checkmate (which was added just 9 months ago). Also, if you count both his Lichess and chess.com games, he actually has 1541 + 443 = 1984 (hmm, coincidence?) Rosen Trophies.
If you consider the ratio of Rosen Trophies to games played, @Berseker122 has the highest at ~1.9%, I have ~1.8%, @tpr has ~1.2%, and @Aguero10ten has ~0.5%.

That's not exactly what it is. See https://youtu.be/XAlcDWQ6iTM?t=387

If your opponent doesn't resign and you're up enough material/pawns able to promote it is possible.
my chess.com has 193
Mona Lisa checkmate is possible without promotion, but only if the opponent cooperates
