Loving this series, and especially the last few episodes which have featured players at roughly my level for this time control. Eric is such a good teacher and I love his clear calm analysis and respect for opponents.

@abduwahabhasan Ай бұрын

Never got excited for TV show or series like this. I really enjoy these episodes! Sometimes they make me laugh with your funny statements like "my opponent is playing a speed game" Don't know I'm the only one that laughs with such statements 😅 time runs when I'm watching these videos. Thank you Eric! Been waiting this for the past weeks.

@RaymondBCrisp Ай бұрын

Pretty sure the last guy's user name would translate to Mate in 23, since the last 5 digits can be interpreted as binary. Maybe a game that has significance to him finished in 23 moves?

@Modie Ай бұрын

I thought the same thing and funnily enough, there was a potential mate on the 23rd move if the opponent wouldn't have defended with the rook. I was nearly expecting they do it for the lols.

@labestianegra6373 Ай бұрын

23:29 Maybe it's binary, so it's mate in 1 + 2 + 4 + 16 = mate in 23.

I liked this episode a lot because the last game was very controlled and smooth, not like some games in the middle of the speedrun where the position is total caos. Is very nice to learn how to play a positional game and with stategy instead of tactics!

Awesome as always, especially game 1. Why do you get paired with lower rated players after beating higher rated players?

@Malvegil357 Ай бұрын

I am somewhat amazed that he usually answers e4 with e5 and still avoids draws. I would have thought that an IM would always use the Sicilian or Alekhine against amateurs.

@djfmate Ай бұрын

Fantastic series Eric. Was just looking at your evaluation of that last game. Doesn't Nd5 save the queen from getting trapped by facilitating Nb6 after Black plays Bb7 and counter-attacking the Queen? All lines seem to result in only loss of a piece instead of a full queen. Can you check this? Cheers from Adelaide, Australia! 🇦🇺

@sniadek091 Ай бұрын

I wonder if at 8:05 white to move: bishop d5 is a good move ? You can't take cause triple fork . Please advise me

@TheTwoTwelve Ай бұрын

That second opponent was interesting. I think they're the type of player with really strong instincts, hence a decent rating, but don't really know the fundamentals. He didn't seem to have a plan, and that was obvious with the non-traditional opening. But I bet they're normally a decent positional player and can do well against most players their rating. It's just that you're able to punish their mistakes far better than any random 1600. I bet with some instruction or at least some work on openings and thinking they could really be a decent player.

@dav327 Ай бұрын

hello, I have a question, at 9:54, 9:54, aren't you in danger if instead of taking your rook your opponent trade queens and then take your rook ?

@frzzzl9800 Ай бұрын

Is there a chance, that in the next episodes you could play openings with D4 (as white), since most of the time when you are white I belive you play e4. I think that would be very instructive :)

@Iearnwithme Ай бұрын

Loving it so far but for the second opponent being 1550 it would be cool to consider the settings in searching for a game - possibly Leo of +- 50 or even 25?
