The amount of times Eric says something like "that's a free pawn" and then ends up getting the queen has me dying lol

@@rakhatthenut3815 sounds like a 900 in disguise. actually had a typo in that as well, was meant to say 1150. On the other hand, Quality of my games significantly improved from 900 to 1050 already, if they didnt for you, well thats a youproblem. There is a reason why a 950 is 950 and a 1050 is a 1050.

I'm around the same rating as your opponents in this video, and I've been having a decent amount of success messing around with the hippo. It isn't always hanging a full rook like you ran into, but I noticed that people do kind of fall apart after a few moves. I thought it would be an unplayable meme opening, but it really is pretty solid (at least at my level lol) and I feel like I'm learning a lot navigating the weird positions I'm ending up in. Thanks for showing us this.

@anond2015 Жыл бұрын

This also shows why low elo players should play longer time controls. Before instinct and board vision develop, you should, almost every move, ask yourself which squares are targeted by every one of your opponent's pieces. Then, which squares they could attack with one move. Can't do that with 3 min.

I'm currently hovering 800-900 in chess and the most that relates to these games and myself are the strengths of your bishops. I think it's quite difficult for people around this elo to understand the efficiency of those bishops and they don't check to see those diagonals.

@lillemy5062 Жыл бұрын

Even up to 1400 people still make fundamental blunders within the first 6 moves of playing the wayward queen attack, they always lose sight of c2 often giving a solid D4 push. Honestly it's surprising how lazy and uninspired people just try their same old tricks and fail every time with no ambition to change or learn.

@31:04 The Anti-Hippo. I'm not willing to say, "Okay you got me." In order to avoid the Anti-Hippo I play; 1.e4 d6 2.d4 e6 or 1.d4 e6 2.e4 d6, and then proceed with the fianchettoes and the Hippo build. I think it is important to have that center established for the Hippo to work effectively. What can you say is wrong with my approach? Am I creating a vulnerability?

Chessbrah, you're like the Road Runner of chess, leaving your opponents in the dust! Watching you play is like trying to follow a game of chess on fast forward, but somehow you make it look like a work of art. I'm convinced you have a secret chess superpower, maybe it's your ability to calculate faster than a supercomputer or your ability to teleport pieces across the board. Either way, keep the speedruns coming, they're a real hoot!
