I used to be really into chess, but I stopped playing for a while due to life commitments. When I tried to get back into it recently, I felt a bit out of practice. I explored various learning platforms to help me get back on track, but it was your series that truly reignited my passion for the game. Your detailed explanations and thoughtful approach have been incredibly helpful. Thank you so much for reigniting my interest in chess.

Incredibly....I agree.

One thing I've noticed through this speedrun that I don't know if you've mentioned is how many of these opponents use so much less time than you. Particularly the second opponent here blitzed out like 20 moves with over 8.5 minutes on the clock.

@chrisosborne4731

It's very common for lower elo players to do that. They tend to blitz out the first move that comes to mind. It can be in part because they don't have good time management skills development and also because they don't recognize when they have a critical position and should take more time to consider the variations.

@@alexandershorse9021 It's only wasting time if you'll lose on time as a result. New players would benefit from slowing down and just taking stock of a position. What does my opponent want to do? Are there any tactics? You might think it is a lot to ask of low rated players, but when blundering pieces is rampant in this elo range the time is well spent to stop and ask "What did my opponent threaten with their last move?"

@@chrisosborne4731 totally agree, if you look at Eric or or Aman or John B, they take the time, even at this level.

The sound of the siren timed before the checkmate made me giggle too hard it nearly woke somebody up 😂

“My opponent doesn’t appreciate being an all you can eat buffet” 🤣 These should be 2 hours long 😢

The more I've watched this series, the more it's made me realize how often I lose awareness of significant components, such as missing significant tactical signals and tendency to go for overly-aggressive moves that actually weaken my pieces ability to work together. I'm inspired to work on my Italian, and King's Pawn opening, to look for natural opportunities to punish weak counter-play in low-rated lobbies as you have shown. Those minor pieces sure can contribute a lot to the battle, when orchestrated well together! :) P.S. I'm kind of glad that several of your 700 lobbies, were not near as obvious how to win. It seems there really is much awareness we need to have, in order to consistently convert those levels of games into wins.

You have such a knack for explaining ideas to beginners, great stuff

This is reaching the point where it is super practical knowledge for me at my level. I have genuinely employed ideas you have explained in games.

I have learned more about chess in this series than any chess content on the internet. Please do not stop doing this

I've been gaining Elo thanks to this series! The tips have been very helpful.

Thank you for allways entertaining us in this calm way Eric! ❤

Loving this series, I love how you go in depth about so many choices, I am learning a lot and recently went from 850 to 1100, I think a lot thanks to these videos! Don't change a thing, looking forward to the next one!!

I really respect the way you play in the speed run, you are actually coaching your opponent how to improve their play. Bravo. Thanks for sharing.

I lose track of which episodes I've watched from night to night after working a full day and eating and taking some chill Chess lesson time. I could watch the same lesson from you 5 times in a row and not quite figure it out. Every chess video I watch I learn something, sometimes the same lessons in a row, but I love it. I no longer need to be good, I just need to be improving every day... even if some days I slide back in exchange for some hard days.

21:05 "it's an all-you-can-eat buffet!" 😂😂😂 Classic Rosen

Please never stop making these This is how I’ve become better at chess you’re the best teacher!!!! Keep it up please !

This is my favorite series so far on the whole KZread ❤️

Thanks for doing this series with a 10min time control. It really gives the space to comment on the ideas and thoughts for positions. Amazing work!!

Always helpful material and a good reminder for me about patience, thank you.

I’m loving these videos. Thanks so much. I’m learning a lot

These videos keep me going Eric. Thank you my brotha!

My favorite series as well!! I'm learning so much and I can't wait until you get to closer to 1000 Elo

I love this series! Please don’t stop!

Love these videos and also love the profile pictures

Awesome series; thank you, sir!

I've learn so much with this series, thank you !

I love this series. And the content. ‘There’s an all you can eat buffet on the queenside’ ! 😂

Thanks Eric for posting this video just before I'm off to bed. Great way to finish a very busy and intense day.

Why not Re8? Isn't that the quickest mate even quicker than Qa5?

Am constantly waiting for a new episode in this series, thanks Eric! By the way - based on similar siries in other genres, especially in video games, the series should be called "Unranked to GM" or U2GM. Speedrun is more commonly used for doing something as fast as possible..

You: wracking your brains trying to increase your dropping elo to 850. Reality: There's a Chess Grandmaster on the other end.

This series are the best! Ty

Thank you for the instructive games

So instructiv! Thanks Eric! Greetings from Germany

I like these videos. after 10 seconds I upvoted this one :)

Thx Eric - looking forward to future games vs stronger players!

Great series!

Restarting chess after 30 years. This video series is GREAT. Tried a few more practice games... and now going to rematch the previous videos. Thank you, sir.

Best series!! We want moreeeee

You're very concise with simplifying the principles of chess

You're a bad, bad man...and I'm here for it.

I was hoping to find this video right now!

Such a great series

'my opponent does not appriciate being an all you can eat buffet' 🤣😂 that had me laughing out loud 21:21

Such great content, cannot be understated. If you run out of content, just start repeating it cause reinforcement helps too! You make it look easy

Oh! How I wish Eric Rosen would CRUSH my hopes and dreams!!!

Love the Shark music! Thanks again, I hope you will take this to 2200 or 2300. Learning so much.

It's great to see the needs of more beginner-level players taken seriously. Although I'd say I'm intermediate standard, the vids are still interesting and educational. I suppose 1.d4 g6; 2.f3 with the idea of 3.e4 isn't so bad.

I love this series. Has become my favorite Rosen content because I am low rated and need these basic lessons. However...this is not a "speed" run. More of a Tortise Crawl. Still love ya, Eric....just when it's good....I want more.

There is one opening I know of where white plays an early f3, the fantasy Caro-Kann. But even there it's 3. f3 instead of 2. f3, and I wouldn't call the fantasy a mainstream opening.

Best series yet. More episodes faster so I can binge. Better than NETFLIX! :P

Eric, I get the impression that you're a wonderful human being in real life and a relentless taskmaster over the chessboard.

that last game..."Oh no my bishop" was brilliant!

I've only been playing chess for 3 days and after a day stuck at 400 in Bullet, I'm now 700 in Blitz and owe it all to this video series; thanks so much, Mr. Rosen!

I love the picture update! My son is 4 and my daughter is 5 and they are both playing in their first tournament this summer.. luckily they are better than me so I’m trying to learn through this series to compete with them better

Changing the profile pictures is so wholesome

loved the ohnomybishop, had a laugh

There’re actually a few good opening where you play f3/f6 quite early. Not as early as move 2 of course. I’ll put down a few if people want to try them out. Blackmar Diemer gambit, Von Popiel gambit, Fantasy Caro Kann, Budapest gambit (the f6 line can be played instead of main line Bb4+), Nimzo-Larsen attack (black can plays f6 if he put 2 pawns in the center), Owen defense/English defense, Pirc defense (white plays f3 in the main line) I probably forgot a few too so someone else can fill it out. I left out stuff like Englund gambit sideline on purpose since those aren’t really a good opening.

I would love to see you try things like Stafford gambit. I know you’re trying to play more solid things, but we watch your big videos and ideas like that and ponzianni but face moves you never do because we are at lower levels. So your guides don’t cover that. (Plus it would just be interesting) Keep up the great work!

what about bishop g8???
