"I'm gna play with my Bishop. At 1am you can't blame a guy for playing with his Bishop" - GM Eric Hansen.

Love how he still explains what he's doing even at around 600-800 showing he wants to actually provide education.

Finally a series especially made for me. I play c6 against everything for years now. Thanks Eric.

These speed run playlists are the best way to learn openings. The previous Hippo and London speed runs helped me gain 200 elo. Thank you so much Eric and Aman!

Nice. Speedruns are so much fun to watch

Thank you very much for this speed run. I`m c6 player myself so I see a lot of useful ideas already and of course I am looking froward to see how better players will challenge you latter in the run.

The way you talk while playing is actually very educational, literally dumbing down and explaining while you're actually just casually talking

"At 1 a.m. you can't blame a guy for playing with his bishop."

Thank you for making these. I really appreciate it.

that was awesome . so fun and instructional~! eric what a great brah~!

Very high quality explanations. Thank you

keep moving i love these series i learn so much things thanks Eric 😘

Eric, i been watching Alex Banzeas Caro Kann speed run (which doesnt look like a speed run at all)...he takes the bishop with his bishop and thats what i did with not so good results but when ur opponent takes ur knight instead of your bishop,,,,,,,and i did the same...i have WON ALL THE GAMES played since yesterday. also its Amans rules Pawns,knights,bishops,rooks,queen for the captures in that order. Your Caro Kann is slaying opponents and thank you for coming out with the series. Wow.

5:00 "nobody's getting laid off" lmao

Awesome series!

Hey guys your last 2 uploads are unavailable. Not sure if that was intentional. Loving the content as usual.👍

Looking forward to these speedruns with higher Elo's Eric

a blunder and a half~! cracked me up.~!!

this channel always doing speedrun with real chess talk, it is so helpful for beginners and intermediate, so different with half japanese guy 😅

How do you always get the black pieces?

Please keep making openings speedrun videos!

I laugh way too hard at SNIP 😂

52:39 you both start with 8 in a row, meaning you have at least 5 connect 4s in pawns lol

the mind of a 600 😂

24:20 looking so good

U should make more series like that

How long was that guy who asked to be banned, banned for?

lets go c6 against everything!

What’s the opening song?

Eric definitely wins most Canadian accent on Chessbrah

A lot more educational than play with Titled players! Thanks a lot!

can someone please explain the story behind the name pooja

First song title please ?

divide the speedrun in two for twice as much content

I didn't get why the guy was banned? Can someone explain?

@10:30 could you not have taken the knight on c3 with your rook, then his rook would take, but then pushing the pawn to e4 attacking the queen would open a discovered attack on the rook? edit: nvm doesn't work...

if anyone is wondering, Pooja cheated against Eric on stream and instantly got her account banned.

whats the damn song intro

Hey Eric, where the heck is the next video!!!

🦑 that first game should be on display in a art gallery. beautiful

Can we get an Italian game Speedrun?

Great

@chessbrah I fully respect playing a game out and not letting my clock run out, however at ~35 minutes, you had mate in 1 and proceeded to push your pawn 5 times, I think thats equally as disrespectful, deeming a clock run out as completely acceptable. Thoughts?

Love how you're talking to your opponent even though he can't hear you. It would be nice if chess sites could include optional audio connection for this type of instruction.

Bestia🎉

Does anybody know the song's title at 4:07 - 5:56? Shazam does not collaborate :)

Could you consider changing background of the board to wooden like? Hate this green and white one.

45:17 rook f2#mate! ban me

5:00 the rook is not really contributing no?

People watching chessbrah and didn't know who Pooja is😅

Poojafan69

what i don’t understand is that while eric is the top canadian chess player and ranked top 170 player in the world and easily will someday win the world championship why is he slow rolling his 700 opponents and make a big dramatic scene moving the pieces slowly as he delivers check mates!!! also his exaggerated surprise every time they blunder i mean dude you’re 167 over seven billion donu expect low rated player not to blunder!!!

I'm 200 elo, and when i try to use caro kann i always messed up when my 200's elo opponent does some kind of random crazy position 🥲 while Eric's playing seems simple and easy 😂
