Never having had a chess coach, it’s the little gems of knowledge such as the point that ‘when you make a queen you lose a pawn’ which make these videos really valuable to me. It’s obvious in a way, of course, but in these rare situations where you are are calculating such exchanges, it’s the kind of thing I might not have considered.

@duck20484 Күн бұрын

When you make a queen, you lose a pawn which is true if you still have the queen. In Eric's match, the guy didn't lose a pawn but a second queen. A pawn isn't as valuable as a passed pawn.

It's been fun watching this series progress from "Follow opening principles, stay solid, capitalize on mistakes" at the lower levels to "Calculate, calculate some more, also make sure to calculate" as you approach 2000.

Eric plays dubious opening principle violation for early attack against 2000+ rated player; opponent spends multiple minutes thinking and then plays suboptimal moves, immediately sacrificing a rook unnecessarily. I play same dubious opening principle violation for early attack against 1200+ rated player; opponent spends 12 seconds, plays top engine line and demolishes me.

There's something weird about the Scandi. Does it just attract people who have an aversion to learning theory? I thought it was just 900-1000 players who don't know the 3rd move of the opening they chose, but I guess this strangeness persists all the way to 2000.

@yusie8306 2 күн бұрын

I was super confused when a 2000 player wasnt prepared for a super natural responce to Nc6.

@howlingwolf317 Күн бұрын

I think that's it. You get a lot of similar positions as black and get away with only being slightly worse into middlegame most of the time IF you know your stuff. I agree it's weird that at a 2000 level the opponent didn't have the first 10 moves blitzed out. I'd argue that learning theory can benefit a Scandi player a lot, since anticipating how the opponent wants to kick around your queen and setting up safe squares for it can lead to equal positions which is the best you should hope for when playing it as black.

@patstaysuckafreeboss8006 Күн бұрын

Because a lot of 2000 players actually rely on their brain and not memorized openings 🤷🏻‍♂️ I don’t know any theory at all and I’m 1900

@lollycopter Күн бұрын

Yeah my inkling is that it's usually players with a certain type of timidness to main lines who end up playing the Scandi. They do that when lower rated and never give it up. I have a very comfortable record against the Scandi despite having the least amount of prep for it. I don't dare touch it with black - there's no point given all the other options I have against e4.

Eric, I love your chess content. This speedrun has been fantastic! I have a question though. @5:01 - 5:35 when you're discussing Nd5, Qxd2, Nxe7+, Kh8, Bxg7+, Kxg7, Rxd2, Re8, Nxc6, Nxc6, you mention d5 forking the bishop and knight, but discard it because you feel it leads to you getting mated, but since the rook moves to e8, would that line have worked, if instead of d5 you went Bb5, pinning the knight to the rook, then after rook moves you can still push d5 forking, but giving you another move to open some breathing room for your king?

@HungryScribbler Күн бұрын

You need to do a "Bearded Speedrun" from start to finish. With no shaving so we can see both the progression of rating and beard instead of just springing it on us at a tournament then shaving and its all gone.

I have never understood the mentality of players who don't speed up their play when they get low on time and just let their clock run down until they lose on time. Moving faster might lead to more mistakes but not moving faster guarantees losing. It's like seeing an approaching train about to flatten you and not getting out of the way!
