It's actually a good advice. Many people just kept playing ramdom moves just because it's their turn to play. The opening is just a small little fragment of the game. Stop for a second and try and find ways to win, pretend it's a puzzle and you'll see yourself improving.
Anyone know the names of the songs that played in this video? The playlist used was one of the better ones and his commentary ruins the possibility of using shazam :/
If Nxb7, then white has no reason to play Rxb7, and even if they did, why wouldn't you just take the rook back with your own rook. You aren't forking anything with that bishop other than losing 2 rooks of your own.
@@r0s463 NO - Eric took with the knight and the opponent took the queen with check causing Eric to take with his king CAUSING THE LOSS OF CASTLING RIGHTS!!
@@iainbozfelt ah that not what i thought you meant but i see. He probably was just trying not to complicate things because its a speed run, im sure he saw it
Sigh. Again, it's like killing baby seals. Or shooting fish in a barrel. But then again that's what it usually looks like, unless our opponent is Jospem, or The Sniper, or one of their ilk.
@@kotbegemot-spno way man nothing to learn an opening like watching 100+ games from a gm danya is better for overall chess improvement but for openings these speedruns are great
"Look for ways to win" Eric says... never thought of that before. I think my elo is about to jump atleast 1000 points.

Oh wow, that's a neat trick. Must remember it.
that dude premoving pretty much all his moves is definitely tilted af
25:20 what a crazy line!
Love these videos! I can actually understand the strategies at this level. Thanks!
I wish they'd enforce saying 'check' during GM tournaments.
"let's gooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo--here" is my favourite ericism

They have a lot of their playlists on Spotify
At 4:00 I saw a different tactic - kxBb7, Rxk, Bc6 forking rook and g2, which wins a rook
Knights are denoted with the letter N as far as I know

@@yuriz7947 No b Rxb7 bc it's on a8. That's why the fork works.
Thanks for fixing the lightnings 😊
“Why isn’t it checkmate? oh shit”. 😂😂
28:07 Q a5 + FREE KNIGHT + castle rights...
He will still have castling rights because he can block the check with the bishop
@@r0s463hes talking about erics castling rights

He had shown this line before, he said he doesn't mind placing his king on c7 with no queens on the board, that's the setup
Thanks buddy chief guy!
We need more!!!
anyone know the name of the first song
Why is it that none of my opponents at this rating range hang anything in the opening
should probably start at 800 like most of the other speed runs you do. What Makes this one different than all other nights?
900 plays like 1600 why?

Good content.
Your having to much I'm playing chess😊
don't support these guys...
Eric thinks WWE Football is real and even wagers money on it and gets emotional when scripted plays happen 😂
better than danya vids ngl
this is like a Schwarzenegger movie: lots of action, no skill improvement

@@isawrooka4 yeah, probably you're right.
