You should've taken all that effort to wipe the brown stuff off your nose! 😉

Man I've missed this. Been checking KZread several times a day in hopes this would get released. Thanks for the killer content, Eric! If you posted 5 of these things every day I'd watch them all.

Me tooo woooo it’s here ❤

Impressively solid and yet agressive play by first opponent.

When I'm up material but behind on time, I prefer a strategy of blundering back my material as quickly as possible to simplify the position.

"My oppenent got very damaged there": 😂😂😂 22:23

Eric’s wit gets me every time lmao

Loving this series, and especially the last few episodes which have featured players at roughly my level for this time control. Eric is such a good teacher and I love his clear calm analysis and respect for opponents.

This is my favorite series on youtube!! not just chess series, but my favorite series. This is great stuff, thank you for all you do eric!

Never got excited for TV show or series like this. I really enjoy these episodes! Sometimes they make me laugh with your funny statements like "my opponent is playing a speed game" Don't know I'm the only one that laughs with such statements 😅 time runs when I'm watching these videos. Thank you Eric! Been waiting this for the past weeks.

Eric plays chess like Bob Ross paints

I'm eating up this series! Glad to see you back again, and as always, thank you for the content.

Thank you for coming back with more amazing content. Entertaining and instructive as always. Looking forward for the next episode! Best :)

Pretty sure the last guy's user name would translate to Mate in 23, since the last 5 digits can be interpreted as binary. Maybe a game that has significance to him finished in 23 moves?

I thought the same thing and funnily enough, there was a potential mate on the 23rd move if the opponent wouldn't have defended with the rook. I was nearly expecting they do it for the lols.

thanks for this video and for all the instructive content over the years!

Always nice to see a video from the mellow Rosen! Keep it up my man!

23:29 Maybe it's binary, so it's mate in 1 + 2 + 4 + 16 = mate in 23.

Hey Eric :) Hope you are having a great day. Thanks for the video

Oh man when I see your video I immediately bring some food and popcorn to enjoy my time This is the best thing ever❤ thank you Eric

thank you eric for the great content

Great episode, man

I liked this episode a lot because the last game was very controlled and smooth, not like some games in the middle of the speedrun where the position is total caos. Is very nice to learn how to play a positional game and with stategy instead of tactics!

15:58 that whole run was a picture perfect way to convert a material advantage. Bravo!

Eric, you've created a monster. Everyone wants to watch you go undefeated to the GM level on this journey - which means, at least for me, I check everyday to see if you've put up the next vid. Your calm analysis of your every move is such a gift. You are very appreciated.

That picture wouldn't happen to be the Opryland Hotel in Nashville, is it? It looks like it.

Thank you for the video, Eric. Hope you’re well.

This speedrun and Narodeisky's are the best. Waiting for the next episode!

Great! Waking up in European time zone with this is gold!!

Love the series

Dude nice, make more videos like this and more games

"There might be the possibility of Nd4 Qf6 takes takes takes. I might have to save...okay, well never mind."

HE'S BACK! MOM! HE'S BACK

My god, about time. You’re killing us.

Finally it continues. Now that was a suspense. Let’s binge…

If caught in a cave with a wild boar and that boar was named Levi, botez, mangus or Rosen, Rosen would be the one I'd be worried about, from a long time watcher. Go Rosen

I missed those 😁❤️🙋🏻‍♂️

Literally thought earlier today 💭 wonder when Eric will do a speed run video

Brian Dama Ged. Oh, wait, that's Brain Damaged!

Feels so good to see another episode! Keep them coming.

I have also been checking my feed every hour for a week and a half... It was torture, I really hope you will be doing another speed run after this one. This should be your new bread and butter, the speed run episodes have to be among your most watched videos?

Don't let Kramnik see that streak.

Great games!

I was literally just rewatching one of your episodes and you finally uploaded! Immediate click

No way I look for anything else after I get the rook and king fork. Shows why I'm rated as low as I am. I'm trying to get better, though, and I'm loving these videos.

I like the current set up...at leaste we can see you clearly and the boaed as well

Fantastic series Eric. Was just looking at your evaluation of that last game. Doesn't Nd5 save the queen from getting trapped by facilitating Nb6 after Black plays Bb7 and counter-attacking the Queen? All lines seem to result in only loss of a piece instead of a full queen. Can you check this? Cheers from Adelaide, Australia! 🇦🇺

Ive been playing for most of the afternoon and just made a couple of silly blunders, I needed this!

I am somewhat amazed that he usually answers e4 with e5 and still avoids draws. I would have thought that an IM would always use the Sicilian or Alekhine against amateurs.

Awesome as always, especially game 1. Why do you get paired with lower rated players after beating higher rated players?

Loving it so far but for the second opponent being 1550 it would be cool to consider the settings in searching for a game - possibly Leo of +- 50 or even 25?

Good game 👍

That second opponent was interesting. I think they're the type of player with really strong instincts, hence a decent rating, but don't really know the fundamentals. He didn't seem to have a plan, and that was obvious with the non-traditional opening. But I bet they're normally a decent positional player and can do well against most players their rating. It's just that you're able to punish their mistakes far better than any random 1600. I bet with some instruction or at least some work on openings and thinking they could really be a decent player.

*Eric:* I'll give you a 60-year head start to get to 1650 before I do. *Me at 7:* Heh heh. Sucker. *Me at 67:* Dammit!

Oh no my day

I wonder if at 8:05 white to move: bishop d5 is a good move ? You can't take cause triple fork . Please advise me

Is there a chance, that in the next episodes you could play openings with D4 (as white), since most of the time when you are white I belive you play e4. I think that would be very instructive :)

hello, I have a question, at 9:54, 9:54, aren't you in danger if instead of taking your rook your opponent trade queens and then take your rook ?

A well spoken, witty and mellow IM offering online lessons for free has the audacity to skip a couple of weeks before uploading his latest in a series? Off with his head! 😱

The 10111 in matein10111 is binary for 23.

131 wins Kramnik enter the room

Oh yeah we're back!

24:00 I think opponent was going for binary for 23 so matein23

I think the last person's name means "mate in 23" but in binary 😅

yes sir. \O/

Taking a break in the middle of a speedrun? Ok man...lol

oh no my addiction

We need one video per day.

We are so back

19:09 as a Spanish speaker this part is funny

There is no way I watched 42 speed run videos! 🤯

Finally, this whole sleeping 8 hours thing was getting exhausting

It took a while for episode 42. He kept losing to these 1600s, but finally got back on track.

14:05 After Nf3, why wasn't F4 played to trap the rook?

After my 3 game losing streak, I needed some actual good chess gameplay to get me back on track.

Hooray! You're back!!

Weird to think I'd be lucky to win against you out of 100 games.

We knew the rating had to be US because of the hairdo 0:32

131 wins interesting

I'm still waiting for the first loss or at least a draw😂 probably up to around 2k3 elo 😂

I can't wait until Eric finally loses to someone. 👺

Doesn’t Nf4 trap the rook here?

I don't get how players like damaged88 are rated 1550!

was looking for an excuse to not have an early night. lets go.

Why does he get paired against lower rated players 95% of the time?

What a hairstyle you had back then! Rofl.

I love you Eric

You 2nd opponents name was damaged88. Then you beat him and said he got damaged. lmao

I assume you're referring to the position at 9:49. After Qa5 Qxa5, black can play Rxa5 saving the rook.

9:55 can someone explain to me why white wouldn't trade queens first and then take the rook so that it could still have its knight on the board?
