Bro that israelgtrez guy was insane, I kept thinking they were blundering but it was an intentional bait, and then finally when they actually blundered the rook I was confused lmao
It's so weird when Eric plays other Gms all the moves seem reasonable and somewhat simple. But when plays these guys the moves look amazing and hard ! Fun to watch ! Cool speed run !
@Lenny Pinskiy As long as you remember that you can use tactics to gain positional advantages or winning tempi for your developpement, and to look at potential opponent tactics. Studying tactics puzzles will help you exploit mistakes, and avoid making game losing moves. And such losses are very boring, and the wins because of blunders are not very fun either. So studying tactics will give you a more enjoyable chess experience, where you win by having the better plan, rather than being the one not to blunder.
Maybe I’m too late for this and I’m probably not the best to give my opinion but I’ll try anyway. I’m rated 1912 FIDE which is not that high but it’s not hard to see far quickly. It’s more impressive to be slow and thorough. If I see 5 moves I don’t see the five moves individually I see the position after the five moves so maybe they do that on a larger scale.
Im not trying to discredit them at all, but a lot of the time these GMs also just react on muscle memory, they've played so many gamea that they come accross the same position countless times and often theres no reason for you to change moves in a certain position if its the best move, especially during development, popular openings tend to have the same following moves just in different sequences. You're definetly not wrong, more often then not even when facing a completely different game they predict the position 3-5 moves ahead while playing, almost as if in their mind they are playing a game in the future. At the end of the day though, a big part of chess is memory, obviously not everyone has to play the same way but if you go by finding the best moves, they are often the same moves and only in the end game you start playing real chess. This is a big reason why Carlsen is the world champ. Most SuperGMs cap at about the same level but Magnus' end game sets him apart from the rest of them. Still entirely impressive.
@@pwner-yd2te As someone who has played a lot of Danish Gambit, I always did this mistake in the beginning! It's really intuitive and you need to remind yourself not to put the knight there! :D
3:05 I couldn’t figure out what the continuation was if queen captures knight on g5 so I plugged it into the engine and he actually just straight up blundered a piece
This was a blast, to watch, too funny...I was betting that guy from Mexico around 19:00 was playing too well consistently and was bound to blunder statistically and he hung his rook right on the next move on e8 at 23:22, and you kept saying all along I'm gonna loose... ROFL
The most entertaining video and I can learn a lot of cool moves from this. I tried to watch another channel on low-level speedrun but they are kinda boring...

Check whose move it is. At 20:45 it's white's move. Before that, Eric's queen was hit by the dark bishop. After 20:45. White's knight again was hitting the queen.
I suggest focusing on analysis, try new openings especially with queens pawn with white coz it improves your tactical knowledge, saint louis chess club has a really good playlist for beginners to tryout, you can easily reach 1800 in a year if you follow and practice accordingly
Nope. Amateurs will not get better watching gm videos. Practice tactics and read a few chess books and learn the basic openings, traps etc first. Videos of gm's are fun to watch for sure but learning from it? That's not true.
I don't know , although white could chase the knight off with their f pawn .e.g. pawn pushes forward to f4 or possibly queen moves to d7 , sacrifice and take queen but it's not profitable so it was probably a mistake on black . Fortunately , that should answer your question . Thanks for asking and bye!
@@thenightfox8497 You didn't even see the pin but you are acting like we should take your advice. Winning material isn't a bad thing, he is down a piece, a queen bishop and rook and really solid for attacking, not to mention his f g and h passed pawns.

True! He had to play rook a2 when he blundered right?
It's so weird when Eric plays other Gms all the moves seem reasonable and somewhat simple. But when plays these guys the moves look amazing and hard ! Fun to watch ! Cool speed run !
That's because lower rated players don't play very sound chess, and therefore the positions become more tactical
Y M makes sense . Thank u !

its crazy how fast these players see 3 to 5 moves ahead, its almost less than a second

It's cause they have played thousands of games.

Its a mix of experience and recognizing mating patterns and positions. Its like doing similiar puzzles again and again
it is not only experience and repetition. you need a brain and majority of normal people dont have
I truly enjoyed every single minute of this video!
same... I learn so many moves lmao
You can watch 12+ hours of it on twitch, it's really enjoyable
@@Julianio so true
Same
Me too broo.
"please dont hurt me" me each time i play chess
@3:08 why didn't the player queen capture g5? Wouldn't that be a free piece?
Yeah he blundered I guess, and didn’t notice.
You are officially my favorite GM Eric. Your music taste is just outta this world
For a chess player this guy is mad cool
Yeah except when he loses, then he's not so cool as in the sense of the word
Could you actually just share your playlist for that background music? Some dope sound there.
8:15 "that's a good move.... POTENTIALLY"
3:06 does black not have Qxg5 lmfao
yeah i just looked at that with stockfish cause it didnt make sense --- score is -3.9 at that point taking the knight

The play at 31:14 is incredible
whoever edited this, thank you for cutting out some of the time between moves.
0:53 so I was on the Eric vs Magnus vid and I accidentally pressed this and then thought he beated Magnus like that
7:00 That bishop is a dagger!
Why didnt the f7 pawn took it ?

Yeah the eval was -4.5 🤣🤣
I love Erics style of play. He plays hope chess like me unlike the other gms that make a point in trying to play solidly.
Eric I love ya man, so fun to watch and really educational. Keep it up! Can't wait for next part :)
you can follow and support them on twitch if don't want to wait for the next part :)
I was telling my co worker about your name the day after we played I had no idea it was you. Awsome
19:22 Bishop on d6 moves by itself!
Demonic Bishop 💀
This is one of the best chess videos I've ever seen. Really enjoyable!
K.O is the best, The King of Figthers
Dude you are so fucking good it’s ridiculous.

29:03 Rook C2 best move, first time I think I have seen the better move over Eric.
The Knight on A3.
I love it when Hansen presses the Street Fight KO button. Hell yeah!!
You KO finale is so BOSS!
sometimes i have to rewind to see what just happened
The most entertaining video and I can learn a lot of cool moves from this.
I tried to watch another channel on low-level speedrun but they are kinda boring...
loving the videos man, keep going
Allez Eric ! Go to 3200 ! ;-)
Greetings from France.
Buen trabajo Eric, aprendo mucho de tactica viendo tus partidas, te escribo en español porque se que lo entiendes, saludos
They lost ad revenue not posting the entire videos for this. I've watched this so many times!
3:08 Doesn't Qxg5 wins a piece on the spot ?
Bryan Pfaltzgraff yes. It was a big blunder
Nope someone already commented this, even stockfish says taking is bad because white has good moves
@@envy.2782 lol stockfish 11 evaluated that as -5.5 it is a big blunder
@@envy.2782 What are you talking about? It is a big boy blunder.
Why doesn’t the last guy to lose just take the Knight with one of the pawns? Pawn takes on f5 at 35:55
Demolishing lower rated players in style!
Right? It really shows how GMs are liiiiightyears ahead of us plebs
@3:02 is this not just a blunder?
Yeah, stockfish agrees it's a blunder. Just wasn't sure.
It's weird, if I was coaching some random 1200 I would have instantly announced blunder, but when watching a GM I hesitate.
Why are you talking to yourself
You're asking questions and answering yourself?
Different comments for different thoughts. Why are you trying to be funny?
Really educational video. understood very well as I m from the same range.
Do more like this 💕💕
Lol same range
The main thing that interesting me the most is "starting moves" and you cut it...i want to see your openings pls sir show us that
Agree they should show the opening - a lot of learning opportunity there.
Nice speed run! Pretty good dance music.
7:48 bxh2 would be a cute move here
It's better to play good moves instead of "cute" moves and losing the game. :-(
Woah, attitude.
1. He's playing to entertain.
2. The position is still completely winning.
Fuck off
So fucking nice music and you play pretty well, I'm in shock after that I saw this

Why not Bxh2 with a discovered attack on the white queen?
I'm pretty low ranked so I'm sure I'm missing the reason why.
His queen is hanging as well so it dun work
Check whose move it is. At 20:45 it's white's move. Before that, Eric's queen was hit by the dark bishop. After 20:45. White's knight again was hitting the queen.
That's the best move, good job
He doesn't give up
22:30 this guy is very dangerous haha xd
31:10 can you just be not so insane geez
that last mate gets me every time
20:43 Black should have taken the h pawn with the dark squared bishop which comes with an exposed attack to the queen from the rook
Look closer.
2:55 this looks like a danish gambit on steroids. 😂
It's been 3 years and I'm still stuck at 1535 😥
Bro there are people with 10-20 thousand games stuck at 1100. Look at the positive side, there are millions of players stuck lower ;)
@@torent40 gotta disagree to that, ik you trynna be positive but you can easily reach 1400 level after 10k+ matches even as a slow learner

@@lilnap9588 Check out this guy www.chess.com/member/robitalian 170K games and still at 1200 !!!
billion questions yeah in chess.com. One player i played at united states chess was a 1400 in 1996. Hes 1500 now
The old chessbrah intro was good.
17:31 what a generous God
At 4:55 I was screaming for rxd6 because queen can't take or it'll get pinned to the king
Can someone explain to me why the queen can't just take the knight at 3:06? I can't see Eric's follow up after that.
It's a blunder from the opponent, guess he didn't see it
Whats about the 30:00 - was it about beauty to give mate with a pawn? The premove with the queen on f2 would be a blunder? Cant see it :)
Gotta love these speedruns.
nice attacking ideas
Make my hand blue
Why not queen takes knight at 3:10
Where can I watch the full games? Only get to see 1/4 each match
that last game is so nasty 🤤
so good at tactics
full game will be best we can understand how you set up from the beginning . watching ending just like watching puzzle
please don't cut part of the game...
good music.
play very funny with eric hansen
and he is 1992 younger than me 1 year
haha at 1.22 after checkmate he tried to move Kf1....the king shifted a bit then stopped it's pretty quick but easy to see
20:54 couldn't you have went bishop h2 and have taken the queen with the rook?
is there a way to play against Eric ever guys? i am trying to get a hold of this dude, but so far, still unlucky
please some guidance
yes, finally part 2 thank you
It's videos like this that helps amateurs like us to improve chess!!
Nope. Amateurs will not get better watching gm videos. Practice tactics and read a few chess books and learn the basic openings, traps etc first. Videos of gm's are fun to watch for sure but learning from it? That's not true.
@@AcceleratorUlz I would argue that the comments the gm make are quite the mine gold, if you take the time to understand what he means by it

As a 1800 #wannabeGM it was exciting to watch this, reminding that there is hope for me at some point. :-D
Why did all the games start at mid-openings?
at 4:57 why doesn't Rxd6,Qxd6,Be5 pining the queen to the king work out?
Really awesome video style
qxg5, but guys remember sometimes you miss that. i have missed lot of Botez gambits. which is really sad.
On 3:07 why he played Ng5? He offered a free knight since it can be captured by the opponent’s queen? And why wasn’t it captured? I’m confusion
at 3:07 why knight g5 and black dont take the knight ?
What is name of the website that he plays on?????
What is the name of the gambit he played on 39:59?
17:28 im new to chess, was that move necessary where rook moves to A2?
If the queen stayed on b2, after pawn e4 the mate is not forced
what's the name of the track at the very end of the video?
Hi guys, amateur here :)
At 3:10, why would the black queen taking the knight on g5 be a bad move ?
It's not a bad move. Mistakes were made
At 20:45 why not bishop takes H2 with check and after white plays whatever just take the queen with the rook on d8
cause white to move first.. he counter attacks Eric's queen in that moment then blocks the discovery with check
33:40 why resignation?
At 3:12 is Qg5xkg5 not a good move?
@3:07 why didn’t black take the knight on g5?
I don't know , although white could chase the knight off with their f pawn .e.g. pawn pushes forward to f4 or possibly queen moves to d7 , sacrifice and take queen but it's not profitable so it was probably a mistake on black . Fortunately , that should answer your question . Thanks for asking and bye!
