The two games Eric and Andrea played were especially funny and evocative of their respective styles 🙂 . First game starts as London and ends with Andrea playing the trademark Botez gambit . Second game , Eric wants to win by checkmate rather than on time but both Eric and Andrea take turns playing the Botez gambit and ends up by Eric checkmating Andrea . 😁 . Hope Eric gets nominated for the chess streamer awards and wins like the Botez sisters .

1:39 There's a funny line: 5.Nc3 threatens both 6.Nb5 and 6.Nd5 with a fork supported by the bishop. Black can't protect both squares at once. And if 5. ...,Kd8 to expel the fork, now the queen falls into other trap: 6. Nxd5 threatening the Q, 6. ..., Qa5+ 7.b4, Nxb4 8.Bc7+

c5 is played by black to gain access to an open c-file later in the game, if your opponents aren't doing that you aren't winning or anything, but you'll likely have a decent advantage in space in return. the london isn't really a "punishing" opening in that way. dont expect to have much from the opening

Eric - I find it disconcerting that you usually say ‘her’ and ‘she’ rather than using names. I think names are a more polite way to refer to people. Given the chess world is often accused of misogyny it may be better to use names for female players. It’s wonderful that you have so much content with these players.

omg are you serious buddy! get a grip and stop with this idiotic WOKE culture and ridiculous mentality! you people need help. You find it "disconcerting" good lord already..
