When you put yourself in time trouble it really emphasises what a massive advantage your endgame knowledge is. Most people at this rating are probably panic moving but you know the patterns so well. Gives you way more freedom to take time in the opening and middle game.

In the Evans Gambit game, Rosen comments on move 9, "I might already be in trouble," but he was actually OK. On move 10, he did put himself in real trouble, as Rosen pointed out after (saving me from typing it all up), but his opponent missed it, blundering his own rook instead. Another bullet dodged. I am definitely going to be putting some study into the Evans Gambit now.

@duck20484 Ай бұрын

I am pretty new at chess and the only opening I learned is Italian followed by both fried liver and Evans gambit for 2 different scenarios but though fried liver came up a few times, Evan's gambit never came up which makes me very upset.

@bookl5578 Ай бұрын

Similar thing happend to me also. I was playing a scotch game while my opponent played a move I didn't know. The position was complicated, I thought I was in some trouble and then just blundered a move after. Checked with the engine after the game, I was actually doing fine before the blunder.

When the speedrun is over you should really consider making an openings streaming DL series. Not playing opponents but showing openings and analyzing with your engine. Maybe showing the top 2 or 3 lines per opening and the best replies. I would totally buy that! I bet a lot of your viewers would.

Just curious, looking at a lot of these videos I see that you mention playing the Moeller attack a lot when you were younger. Is there any particular reason you switched from this opening variation of the Italian? As a player of Moeller attack myself, I've often contemplated introducing the quieter game/d3 setups, but I don't understand why one might do this, or when a player might consider making the switch. Any help regarding this matter would be greatly appreciated. Thank you. You are awesome!

@turtlebackflapjack Ай бұрын

We need to start placing bets on which episode he's going to lose on time. I remember 12 or 8 seconds left felt really close about 3 or 4 episodes ago. Now we've had two episodes in a row with 5 seconds left. So lets say 5 seconds every 4 episodes? Im guessing episode 50. Although, if he starts busting out advanced openings, that could reset the clock.

Hmm... Napkin math suggests that a 200 win streak would put Eric at a speedrun ELO of around 2200. This is well within occasional upset territory, so not loosing a game or two before this would be quite an accomplishment.

@nyaboron9239 Ай бұрын

On the evans gambit game, bishop takes f7 ahould have been found rather easily as a desperado was required since he didnt have any way to protect both the rook and the bishop. Perhaps makes the follow up tactics easier to see after seeing which way you get out of check

@MatthieuSCHREK Ай бұрын

Hi, great video as always. Thank you. Against Maggadon, on move 13, Eric, you played pretty quickly ( as you often say about your opponents, hehe ). Instead of automatic pawn recapture on f5, why not flicking in Bh6 right then? It seems good, and after checking, is even recommended by stockfish, for what it's worth ( even considering black's next move : Kh5 ). Since you didn't comment on this move, I don't know if you even considered it, and rejected it in your mind. Cheers, happy chess everyboy. Matthieu

@cristhianamengual8201 Ай бұрын

On that last part of the last game, the white king was outside the square right? (what's up with that square rule that no one cares about?) Because it seem like a complicated way to promote using the 2 pawns, when the g pawn could have just run up the board... Nonetheless, great content as always. My favourite.

@rhysgriffiths9675 Ай бұрын

11:13 Ne8 looked interesting instead of Ne4.. attacking the Queen and threatening checkmate. The knight is uncapturable due to back rank checkmate. Black would have to play Qh6, and then you could follow up with f6, attacking the g7 pawn 3 times, that looks crushing. Although black could also respond to Ne8 with Qd4+ first, so maybe the most precise move in the position is c3 to stop Qd4+, threatening Ne8 next move.

@raymondhuffman6258 Ай бұрын

I was looking at those exact moves myself but then I saw after Qh6 and f6, black could play Qg6 and go for the trade with the next move being Bb7 threatening checkmate if you move the queen away instead.

@HerbertLandei Ай бұрын

45:13 Instead of trying to mate, I'd play Ra4 winning the queen for the rook. Then the white rook has to guard the king, and there should be not much resistance to get a second queen.

At 25:42 white takes your knight on D5 and you talked about which piece to take back with but you both missed what should have been his follow-up move, Q-A4 check, winning the bishop on B4. I thought that was white's reason for taking your knight at the time.
