I don't think his opponent was streamsniping. That's the natural move for black after dislodging the knight on f3. That check is what usually makes the King's Gambit so sharp for both sides if either plays incorrectly.

What made him choose to play the king's Gambit

hey eric, I just thought I'd pop in here to say that at 8:44 you missed mate in 3 by playing Qe8+ you pointed out the obvious smothered mate possibility but didn't calculate beyond what happens if king takes because then you have Nf6+ the king has 2 possibilities now, either it moves back which runs into Nf7# or it goes to f8 where it runs into Bh6# anyway, really cool game and awesome opening, but I couldn't let this awesome mate in 3 go unmentioned

If you could take your own pieces, there would be no such thing as a smothered anyway!

9:35 there will be no smothered mate if you can take your own pieces

Wow, that was a brutal trap. I would have resigned way earlier. Black is a good sport for playing to that mate

One of my favorite games I've seen so far. Beautiful.

A sharp and trappy game played along with a sharp yet chilly cool commentary. Also loved the flashback... Great video!

Zion park is cool. Like how the rock formations are. Sideways and the way the trees grew. Like its tilted

6:37 there is a beautiful combination starting with Nxc7+ deflecting the bishop. If Kd8 there's Nxf7+ Kxc8 Qxd6#. If instead of Kd8 Ke7 Nd5+ Ke7 Nxd6+ Kd8 and Qf8#. And if after Nxc7 Ke7 there is Nd5 back with complete destruction (at least), but most lines lead to checkmate combined with d3 too.

Thank you for doing that. I can't "calculate" all the details yet, but I sensed that was the time to "press".

At 2:38 Eric says "Oh...Black can do this!" which makes it _sound_ like he's figuring everything out in real time...but after that, he declares that "this is the main trap of the Quade variation", which sounds like he's quite familiar with the theory. I think this might be one of Eric's famous tricks, where he "feeds" his stream-sniping opponent the idea that he's made a mistake, in order to lure 'em into the desired trap.

What an amazing gambit! I'm going to study this. Would be excellent for bullet.

These games always makes me happy, then i go play some online chess and struggle half an hour trying to convert a winning endgame one pawn up haha

Now we just need to the en passant smother mate, where somehow the pawn checks the smothered king

cool! Great teaching!

Super cool line and with perfect play leads to an interesting endgame where black is down pawn count but has an extra piece by trapping the white knight. In this game black had to play d6 to maintain an advantage but the second he played bishop d6 it gave a huge advantage to white. I love this kind of gambits because in most lines it is so easy to mess up on either side.

15:10 **d4** opens the Bishop for later, maybe that is a part of why eval+ over the 0-0 **d3**. Good to know Black has chances here!

At 6:37 checkmate was inevitable but u Messed it up🙊

Man I would watch hours of King's Gambit games

I love it! Beautiful game.

Mate was smooth asf

another vid already after that 8 hr marathon let's goooo

0:00 i thought i was looking at a captcha

you missed mate at 7:06, you could go Kb7, if bishop takes that knight, you eat f7, then make mate queen f8

That was sooooooooo cool. So much of that game so beautiful: the trapped queen, the slow death of blacks position, and the final checkmate via a smothered mate! Soooo cool

Omgggg eric, you missed a beautiful queen Sacrifice on move 13: 13. Qe8+ (R:e8 14. Nf7*) K:e8 14. Nf6+ (kd8 15. Nf7*) Kf6 15. Bh6* i was screaming to you to play it but you played bg5

You need to go over this again. You've got a major flaw in the the moves you wrote down. Figure it out.

SO SATISFYING

9:28 knight c7 would work too. if he takes with the bishop you have mate in 5. take his knight on e7 with your bishop. he has to take with the rook. queen g8 and after rook moving back queen g5. rook moves back down. knight f7, king has to move 1 to the right and queen g8 wins.

9:50 Nxe7 (white), bxe7 (black), bxe7+ (white), rxe7 (black), Qf8+ (white), re8 (black-forced), Nf7# (white checkmates black)

yo d6 is the move I was thinking to play in that position! nice!

That was beautiful

That pawn that promoted was just sitting in the corner with this look on her face 😳

I hope I can get a smother mate one day… GG Eric!

6:42, also, if "Oh no my Knight" there's QF8 mate in one, you know x)

For the smother mate at 2:03, bring the white queen to f3 -- and when black takes with the queen -- the knight moves in with the pillow

That was ridiculous

Hey, I have a doubt. In the minute 10:17, black could’ve played pawn to c6, leaving an escape for his king and perhaps they could’ve gotten away with that mate, but I’m not fully sure if that works since we have Knight action there too. Correct me if I’m wrong. Also, English is not my first language so I apologize in case there are any mistakes. Thanks.

Just wanted to share a really fun move at 10:28 that I saw… I believe Ng8 leads to forced mate If Rxg8, Qxg8 mate If c6, Bxe7+ Bxe7 Qxe7+ Kc7 Qc5+ Kd8 Nf7 mate There are a few variations that prolong the game but Ng8 is too fancy to pass up

everyones gonna be playing kings gambit now

So instead of g2, should black play Be7? Then if there’s a queen exchange the bishop lines up a revealed check in its place.

That was a really fun game lol

What would you do if he had played h6 to prevent bishop out ?

Eric, you missed such a beautiful mate in three!.. Just Qe8 ...

So I tried this gambit. After my first move, I forgot everything in this video

at 9:04, im pretty sure Qe8+ wins. Kxe8, Nf6+, Kf8, Bh6#. Pls tell me if im missing something.

Approvingly noted, that Eric evolves in the right direction... from boring London player he now becomes aware of the beauty of the Kings Gambit!

10:18 pawn to c6 instead of the rook move and black survives I think... for some time :)

For those who know chess, I have a question. A couple weeks ago, my friend and I (who both suck at chess) played an over the board game. I was playing as white and was down badly. I had lost all my queen side pawns and hadn’t taken anything of his yet. Eventually we reached this position with white to move: 2k2bnr/pp1r2p1/2ppQpb1/4p2p/B1R1P1PB/3q1N1P/n2N1P2/5RK1. The rest of the game went as follows: Rxc6+ bxc6 Bxc6 Bf7 Qxd7+ Kb8 Qd8# How bad did my friend mess up and what could he have done differently?

@bacharsbeiti5007

regardless of the material advantage black has in this position, white has a far greater advantage in terms of development. black's dark square bishop and one of their knights is completely unactivated and useless. even the light squared bishop is somewhat trapped due to the closed nature of the position. castling queenside was probably also a bad idea for black. in the future your friend should pay attention to their development and not just tunnel vision on pawns because it will end up being detrimental to them

When you want to learn chess and watch ASMR..

Pretty damn good for "not being familiar w this opening", LOL.

Me feeling scared to sack a pawn Eric casually asking why can't I kill my own pieces

Qe8 worked even if Kxe8. Super pretty

I've been going this line as black, stockfish approve, and the games are always wild!

You know you're dead, if Ercic says: Ohhhh...There is a funny line! :)))

At 7:10 you already had a forced mate in 3 with Nxc7+. Best try for black is Kd8 after which white plays Nxf7+. Black goes Kxc7. After which Qxd6 is checkmate.

Dont think so coz after nf3 the queen has no good way to stop the bishop checking

when you say at 9:52 you trap him, its false. moving knight to f6 gives him the oppertunity to escape by pion to c6/5; you get a lot of pieces of the board but its not a trapped mate.

Anyone thought about 12. Kf6?
