5:39 eric searching glasses for 20s.. comes back and hit's you harder than Kalib. 😎😂That's why I !support these guys. Nightbot: Don't support these guys.
I feel you Eric when you were showing the smothered mate that could have happened but they resigned. As a low rated player I get very few smothered mates and I've had some that they resigned before i could do it and I was like damnit!
Also I was using the bird before you started this speedrun and I have learned some cool ideas from you, especially the rook lift and the light square bishop pinning blacks night to the king and sometimes just grabbing space in the middle. Thank you for this speedrun bro.
hey guys i’m confused because i’m very low rated player what’s the difference between the Bird and the b3 opening? first theee games appears to me as a b3 delayed opening, but what do i know!
You're right! In variations of the Bird where we play b3, those two openings can transpose and have the same general themes and motifs. The important thing to note is that you don't necessarily have to play b3 while playing the Bird, so it gives you more options on what you want to do with that bishop.
@@sqworm5397 thank you so much.. so in your opinion should i consider switching from d4c4 in which i suffer against the KID? i like this opening but should it be my main repertoire?
@@salemtv5808 It's hard for me to say since it depends on your playing style. If you think you can manage playing aggressively while avoiding mistakes then I think it's worth a try at least!
1.f4 does not lock you into playing b3, and playing 1.b3 does not lock you into playing f4, so you can get completely different types of position from each opening. Even if you're dead set on playing both moves, the move order can make a difference. For example after 1.b3 e5 you can't play f4 - at least not without preparing it first, and giving the opponent the option to play exf4. Basically the advantage of going f4 first with this setup is that it guarantees you get f4 in and prevents e5. The advantage of going b3 first is that moving your f pawn early is kind of sus and depending on the opponent's moves you might not want to do that.
How the fuck you made look it so easy!?also when you play I saw every future moves but when time is coming to play by myself I am totally loosing everything. What the heck
@@Alpacastan21m they are playing a GM. Thats why they look "bad." If you found the forcing moves and positional advantages that Eric does then they would play the exact same against you. But when you dont find the best moves, you give them more options, which is why they play "better" against you.
I love how intelligently he plays. And also explains his ideas and waits for the audience to solve puzzles
@44:10 my autistic cousin who’s obsessed with NASA:
LOL
As a 1200 these are entertaining and educational. Thank you for sharing
Queen sacrifice speed run
its on their youtube already.
@@robertwillborn-campbell3623 hey have they said anything about doing a Sicilian speedrun?
@bibek6713 no, I haven't heard they were.
@@bibek6713 I'm pretty sure Aman is doing a Taimanov Sicilian speed run currently.
I really like the bird opening. Normally I seem to play very defensive even in the games I won. With this opening I am usually on the offensive side.
The Bird. Unbeatable. Obviously.
22:30 You absolute animal.
Indeed, awesome move
ey at 5:55 did you step on your sunglasses???!!

was Qh8# missed at 55:34 or were you going for something a little prettier?
9:42 these nicknames crack me up
Very instructive, thank you!
17:10 bigpapichula played well
I couldn’t resist. “ the bird is the word “
Looks like Eric is having a good time with that bird in the thumbnail
where do you find these guys? i'm struggling to break 1400 in 3/0.
They are paid actors from Eretria.
Fun fact, Eric and i used to work at kfc together. We always ate all the left over mac n cheese together
You are insane Eric
55:34 you missed a checkmate, qh8
55:32 - why didn't he go for mate in 1 on h7 or h8? 🤧
"im not a gm anymore. I traded the title for a bag of jalapeño chips. it was getting diluted". hahahhaahahhahahaha
bro you were eating them have some mercy man 😂😂😂
what was this last one? following Aman's advice? If you see a mate in 1 always look for a mate in 3 ?:D
My goal is to catch one of these live on twitch but so far I’ve been unlucky
@@pigged_ really?
Its the exact opposite for me
Eric is great but aman is my favourite
epok makes me sick. I use loop and zyn when I'm going for the white teeth look. Just a heads up if it happens to you.
i am a 1700-1800 guy...this is educative and entertaining
I am running into more birds and stonewalls out in the wild
Your awesome man!!

Nice videos Eric, thnx
"If the queens were scissoring, mine would be on top" 😂
It is really educational for me (1200). I won 3 games with 90% accuracy after watch this video. idk maybe it make my chess more clear. Thanks Eric
Hi.. When you start new speed run colle zakarout system
Hm. Well, before I felt like it was clubbing baby seals, now it feels more like playing with your food. Ouch.

Good one brah
So is the bird really a strong opening, or is Eric just making it look easy?
Whoah cocaine isn't cheap, amirite Eric?
Nice shirt Eric
Eric go
That was only up to 1599, I call this a SCAM!!!
Let's go!
Snus is a thing in Canada too now? For shame.

Go on
As an Indian dude I'm confused: why is star cricketer Hardik Pandya your profile picture 😅. There must be lore to this channel that I'm missing^
Some lore
Wayward queen speedrun piss off the 1800s
Great🖤👏👏👏👏👏
But why is it called the "bird"... is it because it looks like your flipping the bird when you push your one pawn up?😅
Once again I find myself on the precipice of mastering the birds opening. Rise up my fellow feathered friends, the crows have eyes.
Guys we need a Sicilian speedrun
Please🙏🙏🙏
I have a me problem.
scissoring is ok😅😅😅😅😅
900-1000 legit do not play like the dude in game 1. Smh.
