It really tells alot about the IM norm and what strong players can do, I mean a 2000+ is no joke even on Lichess (well closely around 2000 it really depends) and he is basically crushing them using really dubious openings . But once you realize the 600 points gap between them you can realize the journey one has to engage in to go from "good" to "strong".

0:59 Surprisingly, black can still play 8. f3 exf3! 9. Qxd4?? fxg2. And the best line for white (according to the computer) is 10. Nd5 cxd5 11. Bxd5 exd5 12. Qe3+ Be7 13. Qf3 gxh1=Q 14. Qxh1 and black has overwhelming compensation (around -8). 9. Nxf3 Qxh4+ 10. Nxh4 gives -2.5 for black.

Hey Eric, doubt you'll see this buried amongst the other comments but thought I'd say thanks for the incredible content and for playing for fun. It's so great to see someone who plays chess to enjoy it and doesn't put other, lower rated players down. You're very wholesome and I can't wait to see more of your content! My favourite opening is the Giuocco Piano: Pianissimo (it's pretty much the only opening I can play well past move 6) so if you know of any gambit surrounding that I'd be really interested to see them! I saw your Traxler video, that was brilliant as well :)

The 3rd of September happens on a Friday on repeating years separated by differences in the pattern (starting from 2021) 6, 5, 6, 11. So the years 2021, 2027, 2032, 2038, 2049, 2055, 2060, etc. all have September 3rd on a Friday. This means that on average every 7 years September 3rd falls on a Friday, so you were right about 1 in 7 lol :D
@erikbreathes 2 жыл бұрын
Probably the easiest way to calculate this is to just know that there are seven days in a week and because there is a set amount of days in a set amount of years, neither of which happen to be divisible by 7 (1461 days in 4 years), over a long enough period of time youll have pretty much exactly one in seven years where September 3rd is a friday edit: the way i wrote it makes it look much more complicated than it really is lol

Hey Eric, crazy tactic. First game, (hillbilly vs caro) 8th move, f3 doesnt work, since the pawn isn't actually pinned to the queen. If black takes exf3 and you take the queen, black keeps on with fxg2, and your rook is dead, and black makes a new queen. There are some weird engine defences that give up a lot of material to get back on the diagonal just so black cant keep the extra queen, but still, it's around -8 with best play, and -4 with natural play. Just a heads up! Hard to see/evaluate in 3 min blitz. Keep up the great content!
