Zen Mode. Wild Gambits. Guess The Elo.

Hey Eric, recently started watching some of your videos. Great stuff! The calm composure is brilliant, and then you throw in something like 47:10... been a while since I burst out in laughter from a YT video 😂

No it was a miss mate. If Rd8 was played then h7 would be played. Opponent brought his knight down putting Eric in check and eric moved closer to the knight so if rook went to D8 eric would have take the knight.

Great Video again Eric - you're basically my therapy at this point! Just letting you know that theres spoilers for the ELO in the timestamps/chapter titles. Still fun though
Eric: Oh no! My opponents were rated 2300 and 1900. I feel so bad. Me: I would be feeling the complete opposite of bad if I could dissect players of that calibre.
Lol just finished watching the setup chess video and then this dropped.
Feel like it's easier to spot the 1500s because they are extremely materialistic and go round gobbling up every "undefended" pawn completely unaware of tactics.

Knowing your opponent's rating makes you play more cautious! It truly is zen mode.
Another seemingly baiting title that just delivers. Great content, thanks Eric!
Dirty stalemate clutch 😂
I love you and your content! It makes my day!

Hi Eric! Love your content. I’ve learned so much since I started watching. Thank you 🙏
"Rooks do not like being fianchettoed"... I think there's some new merch in this somewhere.
Mad props for not dedicating your time and effort to covering the ‘scandal’. While you may have missed out of some mad click-bait bucks, youve proven your integrity is not for sale and some of us noticed. Stay true dawg, stay true (picture me bouncing my left arm and clinched fist off my chest in a BAMF gesture). 😄
Enjoyed the stream on Twitch. Good luck with 600K.
Not sure if you read this, but you have been my favorite chess KZreadr for years!
Pulled out that searching for Bobby Fischer line!!!! TRICK OR TREAT!!!!! LOVE IT.
Eric should do a Gambits course on Chessable. I would be all for it!!!!
That first game was nuts
Eric is the epitome of Zen mode - always chill, never brash.

Thank you
04:22 - would black horsey to G2 check be fine there? Because after white responds to this with king E2 to defend queen, other black horsey goes to where the other horsey used to be to check white king in its new square ...
Oh no my Weekend!
it always surprises me when big streamers don't know how easily you can stream music to twitch without having music in the vod or local recordings
43:01 the Rosen-trap is heartbreaking to see 😂😂
Rosen on gte: "oh I guessed too low I'm so sorry 🥺😭" Gotham on gte: "you're a 2200??? Hahaha you're so bad LMAO git gud 🤣🤣😂"
you can split up your audio in ons and use twitch vod tracks in the obs settings so you can listen to music but it wont be saved in the vod
game one and we’re already in my home turf. my dad is a religious 1.g4 devotee so I always play 1…f5, since the goal of black is to equalize, right? so if my opponent (read: dad) plays the worst move in his position, I should play the worst move in mine.
This man just can't lose. While normal people resign when there's no hope, my man here stalemates with a scary high success rate
Love the Mr. Gambit Joke lol. Is it popularized by Ben Finegold lorewise?
@44:42 Why not Rxg7? Isn't that the whole point of putting the rook on the g file? Afraid of Bh4+ in response? I'm confused
People tend to play below their rating against a titled player I think.
Minute 30:00 halloween gambit, amazing end!
Anyone know what the point of that time slash is? Why is he intentionally slashing his time? Any benefit, or just to make it harder?
Why was black able to castle at 15:20? Wasn't it cut off by the white bishop?
Not sure if there’s a better way of doing it but I felt like the chapters on the video spoiled some of the fun in terms of trying to guess their rating as well.
As a suggestion, the chapter names (or whatever they're called) shouldn't include the rating spoilers IMO. You'll see them unavoidably if you do anything like pause or change the volume.
