I am 72 years old, rated 1800+ and have watched and learned from all of these. You have a nice way of presenting yourself I might add. Thanks for your podcasts. I hope you continue as you are a clear, clean, non aggressive instructor for the Chess community.

i"m not 72 or 1800 but aspire to be both of those one day. i love this series for the insight it gives me into how Eric thinks about his game, the extreme questioning he has of his ideas is something i do wish to implament

I watched every episode. I'm 68 years old and I started playing chess again 4 years ago after a break of 40 years. Even if playing chess online seem a little bit strange to me and I've only reached a rating of 1300, I love the way you present and explan. And let me note: Even if I'm from Germany and my Englisch is not the best, the calm and friendly way you are talking helps to understand the fun of the game. Thanks a lot.

28. I’m 67 and have been playing since I was 9 or 10. I think the way you have stuck to principles and explained every move it has been the most instructive chess lessons I have ever had. Thank you so much.

The algorithm blessed me with this series on episode 13 and I went back and watched the previous ones. Given that some of these episodes are almost an hour long, it's hard to believe I've watched 28 episodes of this, but it goes by in the blink of an eye. This series has helped my openings become much stronger. Now I just need to stop choking to timeouts.

I assume a lot of us have watched every episode. This series has been some of my favourite content of yours. Even the low level games are good to watch. Talking through your thought process is a great insight.

1,OOO% SPOT ON FRIEND, IT SAYS IT ALL!

I've watched every single episode. It's therapy for me, you could redo the speedrun for eternity and I'd watch, I love it so much and good for my mental health. I usually watch while eating dinner if I can.

Best Chess channel on KZread by far. You create content that shows the fun of the game and not the pop culture twist of it.

That catch in the second game was fascinating, mad props to you for analysing so thoroughly in a line that looks so appealing at first glance

I watched EVERY SINGLE episode. Thank you so much Eric. Your speedrun are super informative and entertaining.

As someone who is only 900, i am glad i randomly stumbled upon this series and it has quickly became my favourite content to watch on KZread. These videos are really informative and enjoyable to watch, thanks Eric.

@OregonMikeH

Ай бұрын

ABSOLUTELY SO!!

I've watched all of them, many of them 3 to 5 times to grasp the concepts fairly solidly. I'm 73 and hadn't played a game in 35 years, and that just over beer with a buddy-- amateur action for sure. I played a few games starting a week ago, and went from beginner 200 level to 800 in about 10 games, blundering all the way, but with much better board vision thanks to the Speedrun series. When I was younger, I never had a clue on what to do when I entered the middle game. Listening to your thoughts has seriously improved my tactics and strategies.

ive watched all 28 episodes and here’s the thing, i dont play chess. at all. there’s just something comforting about you explaining it.

That's outstanding !! (But Eric is very good.)

Since I started playing chess roughly 4 years ago, I have probably watched one of your videos every day. Respect to the other content creators, but Eric is the only one I've followed throughout. I do believe your number of views will grow, but most importantly, they will stick around. Wish you a ton of success, Eric !

I miss lots of this series because sometimes I’m not in the mood for something this difficult. I need to go back and rewatch the ones closer to my ELO.

You should watch them all bud. Learning from better players than yourself is the best way to improve. Don't be intimidated, you can only pick up good habits from stronger players 👍

Watched every episode! Love the explanations, already looking forward to the next one

i've been watching them all, and I particularly like your explanation of the openings you're playing and all the ideas. you're starting to play opponents in my rating range so i'm looking forward to more!

21:40 I think the reason behind the resignation lies in the fact that after Ke4, the opponent saw h6, effectively trapping the knight. If white tries to save the knight by going Nf3, it takes away the only square for the king after Bf5+. In that case Bf5+ would be Bf5#, meaning checkmate I have watched from the start. My rating is 1400, I am really looking forward to you reaching that rating aswell with your speedrun account. I haven't played for a long time because of rating anxiety, but my new years resolution have been to reach 1500. You have already taught me so much from your videos! Having been a fan of yours for a couple of years now I think, I just want to say thank you so much Eric! You are an awesome chess player, and I am sure you will become a GM some day :-) Love from Denmark XOXO

I've watched all of them! I was super excited when the series started. You're one of the few channels that I watch ever upload from

I’ve watched every episode and have loved the series! Thanks for the helpful teaching!!

I have watched every single episode! This is my favourite content you have put out so far. I enjoy all of your content, but especially that where you are able to explain and deconstruct what you are thinking or planning!

Yup. Every single episode and a couple twice so far. I think I've learned a bit more from these full matches than from many lessons just going over hypotheticals or just covering barely past an opening example. Thanks Eric! I'm enjoying these immensely.

I joined at episode 14. Went back and started at the beginning. I used to watch every single Video of yours back in 2020/21 when the lockdown was going strong and I am so glad that my algorythm has decided to reunite us. I have since returned to playing Chess and managed to hit my all-time highest ELO due to your great explanations.

I've watched all 28, thanks for all the great content Eric!

I watched all part of this speedrun!! And I cant wait all the time the next episodes! :)

Haven't seen most of your videos, too busy building 2 houses here in Philippines but currently catching up on your content. Excellent channel to learn chess.

I watched all. Very fun to watch. Hoping you keep with the win streak!

Eric, watched them all. The way you guide through all these games is just incredible. Thank you & keep up the great work!

I’ve watched them all and gone back to the beginning to watch some again. I really enjoy them and your calm explanations are great.

I've watched every episode. I absolutely love this series; I check your channel constantly to see if the new one has been posted yet!

I've watched every episode and found something useful in pretty much every one. You're around my rapid rating now so I'm finding things really helpful in these last few episodes. Loving the series, keep it up!

I’ve watched them all. Your commentary has helped me with vision of the board! Thank you!

Every episode and this is pretty much the only thing I wait for and actively watch on KZread right now. Incredibly high quality content, actually explaining everything as you go and understanding how players at this level may be thinking. More than once I've had a question about a move or position only to have you answer it seconds later

I watched all the episodes as well as almost all of your videos. Very instructive! The explanations were also very calm, nice, and gentle. Way to go!

I've enjoyed them all !! Keep it coming.

I have been watching and really enjoying every episode of this series quite a bit, and it's always nice to see a new one pop up. They have all been incredibly instructive, and there's a few games I've gone back and watched multiple times because they're such good explanations of certain principles or openings

The best chess series on KZread by a country mile. Great pace. Insightful, clear and instructive.

All of them, very good and very instructive. Keep up the good work 👌

I watched all episodes! Keep them coming, very informative

yes stumbled across these with episode 21 , went back and have watched all and look forward to more , thank you for posting these .

I watched every episode of the speedrun so far. Always looking forward to the next one! Thanks for the great content and clear explanations.

Eric, I have seen up to now all of the episodes and I am planning to continue to watch it to the end. Learnt something from you - thanks !!!

I have watched at least twice all of them!! You are doing a great job Eric!!

I too have watched every episode and several have been viewed numerous times. Thanks for all you do.

Really like the chanel. Ive not seen all of this series but will probably get caught up soon. Keep it up!👍

Every one of them! Truly love the series Eric, keep it coming :)

I have watched every episode. Several of them I have watched two or three times. I really appreciate your YT videos and thank you very much for them. These speed run videos are presented with lots of explanation and at a pace i like ( your Tuesday night competition games are out of my league... I watch them a bit but I am constantly hitting pause and rewind so I can understand). I am 67 and had not played since I was in my early 20's... I watched a lot of your videos and It inspired me. I started playing again last year on LiChess. Thanks again.

Hey Eric! I’ve watched every episode so far and it’s actually helped me improve my playing. Thank you for these videos. I love them! Please keep uploading!

I've followed each and every episode--some multiple times. Keep it coming, Eric!

I've been watching the entire series as it comes out! Love it!

Watched every episode. Some for several times. Waiting every day for the new episode. Thank You!!!

All of em, every last one!! I’ve seen my skills improve along the way, seeing the board better than before. Thank you Mr. Rosen for teaching in a way that keeps people excited to learn!

All of them, and many twice. Your commentary is very casual and authoritative, as well as entertaining. This makes for high value and provides lessons that stick a little more. This series is outstanding - thank you. My brother did not know who you were and I pointed him to this series. He loves it too.

I've watched all up through this one so far! Very fun.

All of them, Eric. And you finally got my sub. Thanks for the great content.

I've watched every episode. Loving the series so far. Thanks Eric.

I too have watched every single episode of the speed run series. Some episodes I watched again to further understand your comments and tactics. Many of the episodes I had to pause the video to try and anticipate the next moves. Love the series, thanks for sharing.

I have watched the all of them as well Eric. Your presentation is calming and enjoyable to watch. I have learned a lot from you. I wish you continued success on your channel. Thank you!!

Have watched all the episodes. Enjoy them very much

I have watched all of your speedrun episodes; They are extremely instructive and I always keep a lookout for them.

I watched every episode. Very instructive, learned a lot from the games and analysis, keep up the good work!

I've watched every single one love this series I hope when you finish you start over so much fun to watch and learn

I really enjoy this. In answer to your question, I've watched around 10 videos from this series. Keep it up!

this is the best youtube series every. I have watched everyone. literally everyone. love it!

Watched and loved every episode. Sometimes don’t have time to watch episodes at once, but it’s nice to spend time and savor these 😜👍🏻👍🏻

I've watched all the episodes in the past few weeks, thank you for all the lessons. One of my favorite openings when I get the chance is the Evans Gambit. So I picked up a few tips in your last episode.

Yes, every episode seen. I just love these. It is so nice to hear you calmly explain every move and situation. I even spotted the case when you missed that you can not get the sacrifised Queen immediately back but you got that easily solved anyway.

Watch every single game! Your calm way to explain everything have made me a big fan. And it has improved my chess so so much. Thanks for all the great content

ive watched em all. Cant wait for more thanx!

Thank you Eric a lot of blessings from Italy 🇮🇹 I’ve never missed one of your episodes, and thank you a lot for keeping uploading and for all your teachings 💯

I've watched every single episode, they're fantastic! Thanks Eric.

I watched every game of all speedruns. Before you make a move i pause and think about what i should do. So i learn a lot ! Thanks !!

Like so many subscribers, I have watched every episode, some more than once. It's a great series, and I look forward to catching up after a busy period at work.

Hey Eric, thanks for this series. I’ve very much enjoyed it and it’s helped me a lot with my own chess. I’ve watched every single episode. Thanks again❤

Seen them all. Love this content, thanks.

I’ve watched all. I’m enjoying your explanation’s, and thought process.

Yep, every episode and they are great instructional resource. Thank you.

I’ve watched all of them in order. Usually within a couple of hours of them being released. I’ve really enjoyed them. Thanks!

I discovered you when this series popped up in my suggestions and have since watched every episode in the speedrun (including the "pilot") and now getting into your other content.

I've watched almost every episode of the series so far, Eric. I love these instructional videos for beginners. Keep up the good work 😉

I have watched every episode. I've enjoyed the approach that you have and it has led to me having more retrospective when I pl ay.

Watched every single one so far, some more than once. Pure gold.

Hey man. I discovered your channel about two weeks ago. I began watching this series half way through. But because it was so good I went back to the beginning and watched every single episode. Nice work!

I've watched EVERY one Eric! They are fascinating and instructive. Thank you for doing this!

I've watched every episode first day. Love it! Keep up the great work 👍

All of them. I think I've learnt something from almost every episode. Really instructive!

Have watched all of them: very instructive and very enjoyable to watch 10/10

Eric, I've seen every single episode multiple times! They are go-to videos for when I'm sitting down and having lunch. Thanks so much for all your content!

I have watched every episode. And I can't wait for more. Your relaxing style, explaining every move calmly is exactly what I need to improve my own game. I will probably start over eventually. My favorite chess series on youtube.

I started watching relatively recently and I'm watching the playlist, every episode one after another. Watching around on eepisode a day so that I don't catch up too quickly and run out of episodes to watch. Thank you for the playlist, I am really enjoying it!

First time viewer of this series, long time viewer overall. Thank you for all of your chess content, I’m very excited to binge the rest of this series. Gotham brought me to chess but Eric helped me stick around

Hello Eric, I have watched all of your videos, many of them several times. I enjoy your easy style and thoughtful consideration of every move. I do not expect to be a chess master, but I enjoy playing, and have learned so much about the strength of basic development and considering the strategy of the opponent. Great lessons. Thanks so much.

I’ve watched them all. You’re my favorite to watch for instructive chess content. Your explanations are the best.

ive watched every episode. I love the speed-run series! :)

I watched all of them, sometimes just a game at a time. It’s a nice, relaxing but informative and sometimes amusing way to pass the time.

I stumbled across this series around game 20, then went back and watched them all in sequence until I caught up. Nice job so far!

Watched all, in order. Thoroughly enjoyable & educational. I appreciate Rosen's calm demeanor.
