I haven’t even watched it yet, but I can still truthfully say I love the video! ❤
Dam, you're good!
“White wants to target the pawn. I want to target the king.” 😮
The run continues! This made my night 😁
I don’t understand why you make it so close on clock for no reason… always makes my heart race
I find your speedrun series very informative.
Let’s go another Rosen video 🙌🏾
wanted to plug my resource chesstube, it should be the second link if you google it. It has most of eric's speedruns categorized and sortable! I do need to update it but still should be plenty of speedruns to look through.
from game 2 "the pawn lived a good life" seems like another good T-Shirt idea. Also the G5 move so much pride in the time management this game along with the awesome move.
Maby you could just call it 180 games. Zero losses. Has a nice ring to it.
Eric is an exceptional teacher – just thanks
So glad you are back with these very instructive games. I thought you may have run into a rice cooker minefield as is prevalent at this rating range and just not posted.
Let's go! We all need heart moniters after that first game! Haha
Thank you sweet baby Jesus. Been too long since you dropped one of these gems. Long live the speedrun!
14:33 opponent has a 4min advantage here.. you have to change tactics, your strategy of playing with confidence and taking a lot of time because of your 2700 blitz rating won t work against a plus 2000 player. You still have the opening theory advantage until you get to 2400. And your middle and end game is still higher than these guys. But the blitz advantage is gone. Amazing video Eric, thank you!
Good to see the return of the speedrun. Thanks, Eric! You da boss.
nice games
Pretty interesting last game
Could you please do a 960 Speed run 😎 please check out my Monte Carlo Speed run to 365 Checkmates; Your commentary is Great 👍
Spicy 🔥
18:10 very hard what? 🤨
I don’t understand 7:27 . Why can’t he take on f3 with check and then take the other knight, winning a piece?
I find it strange that you now find the most beautiful moves so easily and resourcefully and have so much trouble in a tournament even though you have so much time in classical chess, is there an explanation for this? best streamer btw 😉
mora of speedruns
Great first game!!
It's an "unbeaten" streak, my friend 😉
Very good Scotch Game – rarely do things come together so nicely!
To really tribute Marc Esserman you should have started the so called "clip music" after Nd5 and then proceeded to make animal noises and scream stuff like "banned" or "mock" and random movie quotes
35:12 – 35:26 MC Eric on the microphone
I cant wait for the next speedrun to be a gambit speedrun 💪
Love this content, thanks Eric! Starting to see and dread the end of the climb though. Would you consider doing a ratingclimb featureing a specific opening as black, and another as white? It would be great to get to learn two of your favourite openings as deep as the climb allows. Repetition and variation on the same theme is a relly great learning tool for most of your fans i would imagine.
only thing wrong with this series is you don't post daily
one of the main problems of the morra gambit is that black can transpose to alapin, which is not very nice and the complete opposite kind of opening
we are so back
For future reference, if you have a morra position with the black d pawn on d7 and a knight on c6 any piece you put on d5 is almost always untouchable. Putting it there may not be the best move because black isn't forced to take, but taking the piece will pretty much always be losing for black.
Hell yeah!
At 11:50 why not just Bxf3? Queen takes back and then Black can take on a6 with the rook, winning a pawn and still defending c6.
At 5:00 could he have played bc5 pinning the pawn and threatening to capture on g3?
Nvm just bf4 in response
And we're back!!!
Really good games. Thanks.
