Amazing to see the difference between the poker face of concentration and post-game release of tension - chess is truly both a battle and a game!

Love it, thanks so much for the shout out! Great game, great opening choice :) Looking forward to your next Busch-Gass Gambit, hopefully an acceptance!

It's always a good feeling when your opponent pauses on move three haha

I feel virtually all of Eric's loss commentaries include the phrase "I completely overlooked my opponent's next move".

I feel like your reputation makes people decline these gambits xD

Mostly fun when you beat them tbh.

So good to have international friends like Irene through chess. She played so well. You did too!

Yay how fun that you got to play with Irene!

These are my favorite type of videos Eric 🙌 I appreciate all the work that goes into them ❤

Excellent format! Showing the board, and explaining also the moves and the psychology behind them. Good luck for the next rounds!

Ah man, I hate seeing you lose. I really thought you had this one. Exciting game as usual! Better luck next time :)

We'll done Irene, congrats. Good game Eric.

Wow what a game, serious battle there!

loved this video format!

Oof that Ne4 move was great from Irene. I started considering Qc5 when the pawn was on e4 which i think made me even more blindsided by Ne4.

Can't believe you played a Stafford in round 8!!! On one side, you're the most prepared person for that line On the other side, there's no way that someone who remotely knows you won't be prepared to face the gambit Can't wait to see it!!! It surely is an interesting game

Awesome content. Thank you

Can’t wait for next matchup featuring a Stafford!

Gotta love it when you've got a kid slapping gum around his mouth right behind you for the most intense part of the game.

I actually check very often if there is a new continuation of this tournament vídeo series, we might never get that stafford video....

Good luck on match #4!

Damn Eric you had such a good position

Awesome game!

i liked the idea of c5 instead of ra8 at first glance, seems like you can activate your rook laterally. only question is whether the transformation after b4 is acceptable?

I always try to pause and guess Eric's next move, especially to try and practice developing middle game plans. I found Qc5 and was thrilled that Eric also played it... until he said "but I completely overlooked my opponents next move" 😂😭

Hey Eric, do you know what chess set this is? It's really nice!

Both of them are my favourite chess player😁

what a game

Yes, the R on a7 was a bit clumsy, but you wouldn't think so at that point. However, in the ending she just had much more time. Qg5 worked out very well for her, and ofc ... Qc5 seemed more attractive before Ne4! than it did afterward. No way around the summation that she played a fairly quiet position with great elan.

2 previous opponents in the background, can't spot the amazing blazer chap though!

Very perfect.

While watching these videos I've become fascinated by the standard, barely-touching, weaksauce chess handshake, even between friends.

I hate it so much, I always want to give a regular handshake and it's super awkward with the opponent just flopping their fingers there

Hey everybody! Eric played a new gambit! Let’s all spend weeks learning it!

She definitely respects your skills. Seemed to be intimidated by you.

This is true laugh.

Ahh so sad! But it so does happen 🙂

I don't know about the particulars of your respective lives, but you and Irene always seem really compatible. That's all I'm gonna say.

It's an idyllic notion, but I don't think we can really judge anything from two friends smiling for a few seconds in a video.

Hmmmm Eric werent you just in Bali 🙃

Indonesian is the most friendly people on earth 😂 #GGWP Irene Sukandar

Fastest way to untilt is to play the stafford

What a good loser. I sometimes get mad when I lose. But chess is supposed to be hard, and challenging, and your opponent deserves a good loser as they outplayed you. That's what's great about chess. Can't blame the dice, or the cards. It's all you!

Losing well is the most important skill if you want to be competitive at chess. Lost games are the best time to learn-and laugh.

I was a big fan but it's sad to see you lose in the tournament always... Your last 5 tournament videos I've watched you've just lost and that too to a weaker player...

The first 7 minutes have some of the most boring positions I have ever seen in chess. Whenever I get similar positions in blitz, I just check out mentally and I'm ready to go next.

She’s really cute!

The eyes never lies. This lose makes him sad. 🥲 Eric, im not the expert or anything of chess you re good at chess even i cant even imagine what is going your mind. But as i watch your matches it seems like you dont use your time adventage well. You had 1.5 min more time and your oppenent did some blunders. You ve sense it and you want to make pressure with some attacks but you played quickly so you didnt catch that counter play. Maybe you should calculate more when you have time advantage, before attack. With good calculation and pressure probably your oppenment blunder at some critical point because they already dont have enough time to calculate and you will be able to mate. This might be 1250 elo ignores comment so, sorry if i over my line🙏 but after you lose your eyes make me so sad because that really shows that how dissepointed and sad you are. You are better, you diserve better and you can do better as you and everyone here know that.❤
