Your blitz speedrun is probably one of the youtube videos (series) I've seen the most of all youtube, just because of the combination of techno music + high level chess + your personality. Loved to see this all over again! (Never stop listening to this kind of music. It's a BANGER to have it in the background)
Sorry I'm missing the humor here, isn't the Queen's gambit to give up a pawn for a better position? And then in this case he won the pawn back immediately, justifying his expression
I often wonder how many games I play (900 rated) where I feel like loss is inevitable and if someone like Eric took over they could easily turn it into a win.
It's amazing watching Eric utilizing all of the lessons taught in the building habits series at a much higher level. You guys are amazing and easily my favorite chess players. With love, from Canada!!!
6:50 I'm 1100 blitz and you would be surprised how often people overlook this. You can set it up really easily in the Ruy Lopez. Bring your bishop to c2 when they kick it away.
Eric has a free piece at 16:35 with bishop takes C3+ he wins the knight or the bishop, i saw it literally before he made his move, sometimes im like he had to have seen it and was looking for better😂
@@maxkho00 blundering is a natural of of the game, 1700+ is like 98th percentile, you can play games that are 90+ accuracy at that level, of course some games are absolute shit shows too
This is almost impossible to do. You get black/white basically 50% of the time. The only way you could get elo is by beating players much higher rated than you and losing to much higher rated. But you'd be getting such a minimal amount of elo since you are resigning games as the color that wasn't chosen. Not to mention it'd be boring to watch and climb.
one day I will play Eric a game of chess ,but I dont know how to gift a sub or what is a sub or how to be cool . I grew up on a poatao dirt farm without electricity am not good with fast paced life ,but enjoy the game of chess and that's the way it is !!!
BLUNDER SPOTTED!!! 8:19 of the video. See if you can spot what GM cgy flames missed. (Don't worry, I'm not claiming I could ever in ten lifetimes beat Eric once in any time format).
He seemed to imply later in the video that he saw it but he wasn't going to go all out against these lower rated opponents. I don't think he was joking. Good find still!
@@howedaddy6122 Thanks! I actually went for a nap at that point so you're probably right, I'll find out when I watch the rest. EDIT BOY DON'T I FEEL LIKE A JERK. He not only saw it but spent a minute explaining why he wasn't doing it. Not even an implication. Note to self: next time get all the info before opening mouth.
Always fun to watch Rookies Vs. GMs when the Rookies have a .00000000000001% chance of winning if the GM isn't paying attention. And yes I was exaggerating. The chances of them winning is much lower. 😄
Of course it was easy for you You eat 2000 - 2500 players for breakfast.... 800 - 1000 for you is as simple as putting children blocks into their shapes 🤣
I don't understand the hype for these speed runs. You're all GM level types and decide to slum it on new accounts to troll people of way less experience and skill levels. What's the draw here?
Eric is beating up on lower players so that he makes money from clicks. It's sad to see people cheering on a GM vs beginners. It's akin to cheering for the bad guys in Karate Kid against Daniel-san. Is Eric holding back and only using beginner tactics against beginners? No, he is using full GM tactics.
Re-uploaded with a bit of background music. See you for episode 2!
Perfect timing for my like and share
rewatching it with the tekn0
Thanks for the comment. I thought i was living some kind of Mandelas effect lol
Audio still pretty frustrating to listen to with that fuzz on your voice. Would help your editor clean that up for free
what playlist is it?
It's crazy how chill he is in 1 min bullet, I'm there hunched over yelling at the monitor for extra speed while blundering everything
Being a GM helps
lol
Well the people he’s playing against have a better chance of a gangbang with the Olsen twins than even getting a draw here lol
I mean at that rating range, he can win down 5 pieces and 30secs time odds.
I agree, but with the addition of “how chill *and* how insanely good he is at the same time”
I love the way you give a small detail about every move you make. It helps slow the game down for us that can't keep up
Not super helpful to analyze and learn from a bullet game tho.

@@jeroenverschaeve3090 Dag Jeroen. De humor zit hem erin dat hij zich verspreekt. Hij bedoelt pion, maar zegt koningin.
Not taking the rook at 8:19 lol
He said later on he just wanted to grab pawns lol
Eric reps the flames in his bullet chess speedrun and Johnny Gaudreau finally gets 100pts on the season. Coincidence? Absolutely not.
31:04 I am very impressed an 800 found that.
Followed by Qb3 brilliancy! LOL
Well it's like the only move to save the queen.
the blitz speedrun was the first chessbrah video I ever watched. So excited to see another one
15:30 Good to see people hopping in Chess, such a dynamic and beautiful game. Someone's 1st bullet game, well not really.
2:00 "Let's go for a checkmate if they don't take the rook. Ahh, they took it".
LOL 700 rated players take anything they can. It's the law.
Yo was just rewatching your old blitz speedrun, perfect timing for this. Can't wait!
the old blitz speedrun is insane, really hope he does another one
watching fellow noobs get slaughtered is like watching art
I’m also better the second time around with music and lights off.
this video is my all time fav! Love how cool,calm and controlled Eric is with only a minute to play. God I love chess!
I often wonder how many games I play (900 rated) where I feel like loss is inevitable and if someone like Eric took over they could easily turn it into a win.
"that king looks ripe...to be checkmated" I lolled so hard while eating my rolled cabbage christmas meal. Thank you
It's amazing watching Eric utilizing all of the lessons taught in the building habits series at a much higher level. You guys are amazing and easily my favorite chess players. With love, from Canada!!!
8:20 free tower

LETS GOOOOOO bullet speedruns are my favorite chess content
I just dropped 300 points trying to implement your shït, thanks?
"He's gonna forget my queen and bishop are there, he'll forget.." two moves later opponent forgets.
It’s the Flames’ year! See you on the Red Mile
Eric has a free piece at 16:35 with bishop takes C3+ he wins the knight or the bishop, i saw it literally before he made his move, sometimes im like he had to have seen it and was looking for better😂
he did say he's going for checkmate
really love the speedruns you guys are doing keep it up :)
why didn't he take the rook at 8:18 😂
Gigachad move if you ask me
8:50 he answers you
@@edbunkers4516 yeah I commented immediately after he didn't play it 😅
playlist for the music by any chance? that shit's pumping
27:55
That's "remeber," actually. Funny how you don't see typos in names at high levels.
ah yes gms bully beginners my favorite content
1:10 can u make arrows on phone ???
7:15 😂
😭😭
15:20 rip never gonna repat it 🤧
21:55 he hit the wrong hole 😭🤧
27:40 😭😭🤧
29:20 😂😂😂😭😭😭
36:20 mmmmhm 😌😭😭
So Happy ti see this Speedrun
Yay watching a superhero beat up toddlers is my favourite! 😊
i love you man
song at 18:30 please?
Eric is one of my favorite people in the chess world. He’s got the mr Mackey vibes
Yessss!! Another bullet speed run!
“This oppents gonna forget” … 1 move later “He played really well, then forgot” MATE
Eric who do you have in the western finals this year? I'm thinking Colorado vs. Calgary or VGK if they make it
this is about my level for bullet and exactly why i don't play bullet. every other move is a blunder
just subbed cause of 15:30 - great video, keep the chess game up!
he's not even looking into the camera in the intro
800-1000 takes 40 mins for a gm. Imagine he loses 1 game in his main account. -300 rating lol
i mean bullet under 1000 is absolute trash
@@aftermath4096 *Bullet is absolute trash FTFY
@@maxkho00 not above 1700
@@aftermath4096 Absolutely above 1700. I'm over 2300 and 90% of my games are still a ridiculous blunderfest, even in 3|0 blitz.

Another speedrun idea: play only with either white or black pieces to 3000.
This is almost impossible to do. You get black/white basically 50% of the time. The only way you could get elo is by beating players much higher rated than you and losing to much higher rated. But you'd be getting such a minimal amount of elo since you are resigning games as the color that wasn't chosen.

Why did u stop posting often
Heck yeah! Go Flames Go!
@chessbrah why not take the rook at 8:20
Good eye! I discussed it briefly afterwards
Eric’s the best. Not so sure about that intro and outro though lmao
8:19 yeah just trade and dont take the rock.
listen to 8:44. He explained why but yeah imo he just wanted to sound cool, he missed it lol
At 8:19, why not taking the rook?
You mentioned that later :)
lookin good eric!
I learned a great deal
hahähahaha love it but aren't you supposed to have a smurf in your profile picture, grumpy smurf ?
bullet chess is fun
No Botez, No Ty. Great vid

add a win - loss counter and speedrun timer pls ;)

Excelente con música es diferente, muy bien.
my worst chess format, lets learn from the big chief himself
class act aborting the game vs. the first timer. respect
?
sick beats
Of course it was easy for you
You eat 2000 - 2500 players for breakfast.... 800 - 1000 for you is as simple as putting children blocks into their shapes 🤣
I would much rather see a 40min video of you playing at your normal rating rather than beating up noobs.
Since this is a run to 3000 rating, all you have to do is wait.
Man are all people who show up in my bullet games speedrunners? cause I get destroyed like that every game ;-;
Just pass up globe 50x
For sub
Go Canucks‼️‼️
Nice!
