Hello Eric Just wanted to say your Speedrun episodes are awesome and very instructional throughout the whole game. I love the fact that you think out loud and you do take your time to make the correct move and thus far your 300+ wins says it all.
Levy for the drama. Eric for the sheer chess quality, explanations and composure. Both amazing and completely different.
Give me this account when you’re finished and let me speedrun down to 600
GigaEric!! Funny thing is my name is Chadwin, so my friends often refer to me as GigaChad
it's cool watching eric in his element as opposed to the speedrun videos where he has to dumb stuff down for us mortals. still love the speedruns but this was cool to see a different side
It's very interesting to watch this right after a Speedrun episode, with the thought process on a whole other level.
Actually seems a bit lucky that Eric hasn't ran into a cheater yet. (Or at least one cheating well enough to beat him.)
When i can't sleep I watch some minutes of your videos Eric..maybe put some light music on the background?
Pineapple rag!
11:30 after Rfc8, g4 wins, threatening g5 to remove the defender of d7
great games, I enjoy watching your games while I pretend to be working in my office
The comment in chat about why "pinning your own rook is the top computer move" refers to the computer suggesting Rf2 for white at 8:50. To be honest, I'm not seeing the point either. Is it simply to bait black into winning the exchange back because the dark square bishop is too powerful?
dear eric, search "circus music" & add that to these vids
Hey Eric, I'm somewhat behind schedule by only viewing this today but I've watched every episode from the start and learned so much from your games and analysis, even at levels significantly below mine. I wonder if the same will be true once you go above my level, which is not many episodes away now, or if it'll be too complex for me to understand like some of Danya's very in-depth high-level analysis. (That's definitely my deficiency, not his!) In any case, thank you very much for this speedrun series. I'm enjoying it immensely and this thank you message is well overdue, sorry. I hope maybe one day you will do another speedrun because, oh no, I'll be sad when it's over! 🤞
And I sacrificed...MY SLEEP!!!
fun video 🎉
the game against Zhigalko was heartbreaking :(
Gigachad Eric is one of my favourite graphics ever.
What's up with the potato?
Late night upload, just the right time ❤ thanks for all you do eric

That thumbnail tho!!!
Would you consider going for the GM title? Your play feels so knowledgeable but also calm and collected.
I don't understand the obsession with the GM title by chess fans (well I do, I get that it's the top of the top and people are attracted to that.) The reason Eric doesn't go for the GM title is likely because he doesn't care to. He is still a better chess player than 99% of players and he has a successful career. More successful than plenty of GMs. He would have to likely abandon the success of his career just to commit to studying chess, something he's probably not interested in seriously commiting to at this stage of his life. I'm willing to bet Eric likes what he does now. It's not an unreasonable question, it just bugs me how people hound IMs with the question. He's a great player. If he wants to go for GM, he will. But I don't think he does.
He is comfortable too playing
@@kruksog he’s better than 99.99% of chess players
@@kruksog Why wouldn't anyone not want to aim for the best? No one starts playing chess professionally wanting to stay in one position. GM is the highest achievement, Eric deserves it.
Eric would have to waste at least a year studying chess all day every day and even then it's not completely guaranteed, It's simply not worth the effort when he already has a good career
Love these videos. Much thanks Eric for brightening my day more than it was before :)
that first game was rad as hell. wp!
1st game is against Luison
Thursday night, an IM Rosen upload, life is good.
Not to be that guy, but ”playing out of your mind” is something you technically do every chess game
You're being that guy 😭😭😭🤣😭😭🤣 But you are completely right, if you didn't say it, i would have done it in your place 😂
Let's go!!
well well well
The way you are able to still perform under pressure while explaining your thought process is really impressive. Great stuff.
This was the best yet!
That was an interesting game by nielsfish
As a Gotham e4 course owner, he does indeed teach the queen line here.
and his horse?
Pfoeii, I almost unsubscribed along the midgame in game 2. Close call there mate.
Eric, you're still playing like you're on lichess. Infinite premoves! Haha
Second day in a row falling asleep to this video :)
Thanks for the frequent upload Eric. This is my favorite series on YT atm
4:10 beautiful tactic
Your dog is so cute
Among my rating range, the Lichess DB shows that 4.Bxc6, 5.Ne5 and 6.Qh5+ is by far the most common line... and yes, Qh5+ IS a mistake, Stockfish says it's -2... the real fun starts when White continues their attack with 9.d3 Ne7 10.Bg5, because now 10...Qxb2, threatening the a1-rook. Now Black will usually play 11.Bf6 which looks crushing, protecting the a1-rook and forking the queen and the h8-rook, but unfortunately, after 11...Qc1+ White is losing the other rook. I really had fun discovering this variations :)
I'm late to the party but I've started this run at video 9-ish. Since I'm practicing Ponziani I had a blast during #26 and I did follow-up with your Ponzi playlist ;) Thanks for all the calm, clear and solid content !
Oh no my queen 😂😂
Classic Eric calling an ambulance Moment.
I watched all the episodes, repeated some, still going to watch subsequent episodes and will still watch the whole episodes over again. I've recommended it to all my chess friends. 😎
I cant wait for you to get to the 1900s
GO Eric! With No mercy ofc
I almost accidentally watched the video without hitting the like button first!
Key movement in this opening strategy is to SELL your blunder lol.
