Eric calculating for most of his time just for the opponent to blunder mate in 2 immediately is so on point

It's sort of the point Finegold hammers home in so many videos. We patzers at this level might play a great opening, a great middlegame, maybe even a strong endgame, but then we blunder a rook on move 32 (or mate on move 14) and it all really doesn't matter.

because i'm a dirty ol' bastard and even proud of it (it was hard work), i have to grin a lot when i hear people talk about chess XD

Loved this one. These are getting more intense and challenging, but the margin of error even with a 1600+ player is still much higher. Enjoying how you handle the various openings too!

Hats off to the opponent in game 3 - did a brilliant job and played way above their rating level

I watch a lot of speedrun content, and going in you know a master player has great calculation and in-depth knowledge of openings. But it's always end game technique that I find the most impressive. Game 3 is a good example, the other player can hang in the opening and middle game but as soon as the queens come off the extra pawn is an overwhelming advantage and Eric plays in a really specific way that makes converting look so easy.

I see new speedrun, I watch new speedrun. Amazing stuff, as usual. Can't wait for the next one.

Great stuff as always. You and Danya are my favorite chess tubers Could you do a 1. d4 speed run next time?

Best chess content in chess content history🤩

Grazie!

This video make me sleep Thank you Eric ❤❤❤❤❤

at move 20 in game 3, you had qd2 treatening mate on h6. I don't actually see how black stops it either. I think it was a move on move 18 as well, instead of protecting the pawn, you could offer the pawn which black couldn't take or you mate.

Go Eric!

I play this knight jump jobava a lot (courtesy of Banzea!) and probably knight to A6 is the best response, at least for those of us who don't have the brain power for deep calculation where you might lose your queen!

11:17 When your girl is mad at you so you ask her what you did wrong

Thanks!

Love it

Second game: rooks go on half open files. Move the rook early on to the half open files like the heuristics dictate. Then nearing the end as the opponent's knight sat in peril the other rook could easily have moved to h6 and there was little left.

Whew! Close call!

Does this affect LeBron's legacy?

I love this content.

In the last game, i was afraid of Bc4 putting the rook in jail and c5 could even eventually come.

Hey Eric, the audio quality has gone down a bit last couple videos. Sounds kind of scratchy. Just bringing to your attention!

Keep the eval bar on for the whole game review please. I like to see the critical moves you or they make that makes the bar jump 😅

7:30 its getting interesting! :D :D

would you please try spanish opening for next speedrun? because this is a really solid opening and also with lots of traps and lines

The engine is monstruos!

Good stuff

Lichess 1800+ and I enjoy all the Speedrun videos.

@gutschgutscher2609

Around 1800 the games will get harder and harder and it's very very likely that he will lose against an opponent around 2100. One positional blunder can decide the game in this rating range.

And then this and then this and then this 😂😂

The position around 25:20, I saw the idea of obstructing the bishop and then threathening to get rid of it with the rook, but it was all the other moves in between those two ideas I couldn't find lol. Honestly doesn't seem that hard to find for a much better player than me if you have those ideas in mind.

Lucan5 probably threw a brick at his computer in rage after losing that game.

"And then this²³", meanwhile I was thinking about the first check move..

The end of that last game is a perfect example of why you should never trade pieces when you’re attacking. It relieves all the pressure.

Eric almost (a)Rosen to chaos 😀

Jopava London leads to a very chaos setouation if the white knight approaches c7 We can prevent it by playing a6 before white Nb5 or Na6 after

You should have an episode per day! So instructive. Since I found your channel I watch EVERY EPISODE.

23:50 i saw e4 (in the analysis, ofc not in the actual game) but i would've probably tried to insert like f5 somewhere and rook lift like your👕

Last game, would castling king side be a mistake?

Oh no my [enter relevant noun]!!!

25:00 i came to, but what if f4 into my calculations. men just going back should have been more obvious for me xD

Yes, I couldn't understand why the option of castling kingside wasn't mentioned. The queenside castling involved losing the b-pawn immediately, with almost no protection for the king remaining.

@simon555-55

16 күн бұрын

If Eric castles kingside then opponent could use the semi open g file to attack his king. Castling queenside also allows Eric to conduct a king side pawn storm to help attack the opponent's king. So it's both a defensive and offensive idea. However it proved to be double edged because the opponent played a very strong attack on Eric's king.

@muchograndeyolatengo

@@simon555-55 Intuitively the open g-file just seemed extremely benign to me compared to castling out in the open with xc3 coming up next. I didn't think that any pawn storm would have any relevance at all given that the g-file was already open and he was already threatening Bxh7?
