From my otb experience especially those players are salty af, assuming that 2300 on Lichess refers to the 2100ish elo range. Reason, imo, in that range players must have invested significant amount of time into chess to get there (2100 without any study is kind of tough), but still nowhere close to master level. From my experience those players take losses super hard, and are often salty af. Maybe I just had bad experiences, but there might be something to it

Yeah, otb I once had a rook vs bishop (I had rook) but my opponent had ten seconds with a three second delay. He knew it was a draw so he walked to get the arbiter so he could count out fifty moves, and I just played a move and quietly pressed the clock. He didn't get back in time bc I pretended to still be thinking, and he to this day won't talk to me. I feel bad as I cheated him outta fifty dollars, as this won me second. A draw would've given him second.

6:16 "I mean saltiness is a normal reaction... A few weeks ago I went to the Dead Sea... I've never seen something so salty" Eric is such a savage😂😂

I started playing chess recently with my brother. I really enjoy watching you play. You're incredibly patient, honest, nice and very very humble. Those are VERY rare traits to have. The amount of frustration I get when I plunder a piece by accident is insane but you always keep calm and try to solve the mistake in the best ways possible. You're amazing 👏

Ignoring a draw request instead of declining it actually seems super smart. Letting his timer run out while he is waiting and hoping. Thanks for the tip

I love your videos, but I must say this. You have the skill set to become a GM, but if you ever want to achieve that, you must focus on openings that are solid. You are playing wild against weaker players for entertainment value, and I appreciate that for great youtube content. I know that norms and titles really do not matter in life, but you only play London System, and all else is gambits and crazy stuff. I would love to see you focus on some other "real openings" with the goal of beating stronger players with solid lines. Personally I would be extremely motivated to see you play lines that are not just "tricks for kids" as Ben puts it. You could make a series of "The Bitter Medicine" for the ambitious players who want to grind for better ELO with terribly sound theories. That could be the next wild thing in youtube: The Sane Players Guide to Chess.
