Man I've missed this. Been checking TH-cam several times a day in hopes this would get released. Thanks for the killer content, Eric! If you posted 5 of these things every day I'd watch them all.
Loving this series, and especially the last few episodes which have featured players at roughly my level for this time control. Eric is such a good teacher and I love his clear calm analysis and respect for opponents.
Never got excited for TV show or series like this. I really enjoy these episodes! Sometimes they make me laugh with your funny statements like "my opponent is playing a speed game" Don't know I'm the only one that laughs with such statements 😅 time runs when I'm watching these videos. Thank you Eric! Been waiting this for the past weeks.
Eric I used to spend my days during covid and beyond watching your videos and channel and learning how to become a better chess player along the way. You're my favourite chess youtuber/creator ! Now seeing you come back and seeing you are also doing a speedrun is so excited, i can't wait to watch!
Eric, you've created a monster. Everyone wants to watch you go undefeated to the GM level on this journey - which means, at least for me, I check everyday to see if you've put up the next vid. Your calm analysis of your every move is such a gift. You are very appreciated.
Pretty sure the last guy's user name would translate to Mate in 23, since the last 5 digits can be interpreted as binary. Maybe a game that has significance to him finished in 23 moves?
I thought the same thing and funnily enough, there was a potential mate on the 23rd move if the opponent wouldn't have defended with the rook. I was nearly expecting they do it for the lols.
@@wengemurphy LOL, well, you know what they say...There are only 10 types of people in the world, those who know binary, and those who don't. Now we know where Eric stands! 🤣😂🤣😂
I liked this episode a lot because the last game was very controlled and smooth, not like some games in the middle of the speedrun where the position is total caos. Is very nice to learn how to play a positional game and with stategy instead of tactics!
I just don't understand why these players choose 10+0 rapid time format and then blitz out 25-30 moves in the first 2 minutes. So often they are missing critical idea that a little more time might have brought to their attention. One of my key takeaways from this amazing series is then time you take in the middle game. Of course you are very confident closing out a winning position in under a minute, which a lot of us are not. Your eye for mating patterns is really amazing.
If caught in a cave with a wild boar and that boar was named Levi, botez, mangus or Rosen, Rosen would be the one I'd be worried about, from a long time watcher. Go Rosen
I have also been checking my feed every hour for a week and a half... It was torture, I really hope you will be doing another speed run after this one. This should be your new bread and butter, the speed run episodes have to be among your most watched videos?
Fantastic series Eric. Was just looking at your evaluation of that last game. Doesn't Nd5 save the queen from getting trapped by facilitating Nb6 after Black plays Bb7 and counter-attacking the Queen? All lines seem to result in only loss of a piece instead of a full queen. Can you check this? Cheers from Adelaide, Australia! 🇦🇺
No way I look for anything else after I get the rook and king fork. Shows why I'm rated as low as I am. I'm trying to get better, though, and I'm loving these videos.
That second opponent was interesting. I think they're the type of player with really strong instincts, hence a decent rating, but don't really know the fundamentals. He didn't seem to have a plan, and that was obvious with the non-traditional opening. But I bet they're normally a decent positional player and can do well against most players their rating. It's just that you're able to punish their mistakes far better than any random 1600. I bet with some instruction or at least some work on openings and thinking they could really be a decent player.
I am somewhat amazed that he usually answers e4 with e5 and still avoids draws. I would have thought that an IM would always use the Sicilian or Alekhine against amateurs.
Is there a chance, that in the next episodes you could play openings with D4 (as white), since most of the time when you are white I belive you play e4. I think that would be very instructive :)
Loving it so far but for the second opponent being 1550 it would be cool to consider the settings in searching for a game - possibly Leo of +- 50 or even 25?
A well spoken, witty and mellow IM offering online lessons for free has the audacity to skip a couple of weeks before uploading his latest in a series? Off with his head! 😱
Finally, episode 42. I've been refreshing my feed every 5 minutes for a week!
Thats a lot of refreshs

Me tooo woooo it’s here ❤
When I'm up material but behind on time, I prefer a strategy of blundering back my material as quickly as possible to simplify the position.
Impressively solid and yet agressive play by first opponent.
"My oppenent got very damaged there": 😂😂😂 22:23
Eric’s wit gets me every time lmao

Eric plays chess like Bob Ross paints
23:29 Maybe it's binary, so it's mate in 1 + 2 + 4 + 16 = mate in 23.
he last 28 moves, almost😅
I came here to say exactly this :)
I'm eating up this series! Glad to see you back again, and as always, thank you for the content.
15:58 that whole run was a picture perfect way to convert a material advantage. Bravo!

Oh man when I see your video I immediately bring some food and popcorn to enjoy my time
This is the best thing ever❤ thank you Eric
Thank you for coming back with more amazing content. Entertaining and instructive as always. Looking forward for the next episode! Best :)
Great series, always look forward to a new speed run uploads from mr Rosen, I’m “for choice” :)

Great episode, man
That picture wouldn't happen to be the Opryland Hotel in Nashville, is it? It looks like it.
It was! There were several national scholastic tournaments held there throughout my childhood.
thanks for this video and for all the instructive content over the years!
Always nice to see a video from the mellow Rosen! Keep it up my man!
Hey Eric :)
Hope you are having a great day. Thanks for the video
Brian Dama Ged. Oh, wait, that's Brain Damaged!
Great! Waking up in European time zone with this is gold!!
thank you eric for the great content
This speedrun and Narodeisky's are the best. Waiting for the next episode!

"There might be the possibility of Nd4 Qf6 takes takes takes. I might have to save...okay, well never mind."
My god, about time. You’re killing us.
I wonder if at 8:05 white to move: bishop d5 is a good move ? You can't take cause triple fork . Please advise me
Dude nice, make more videos like this and more games
hello, I have a question, at 9:54, 9:54, aren't you in danger if instead of taking your rook your opponent trade queens and then take your rook ?
If caught in a cave with a wild boar and that boar was named Levi, botez, mangus or Rosen, Rosen would be the one I'd be worried about, from a long time watcher. Go Rosen
that reads like a backhanded compliment 😂
Thank you for the video, Eric. Hope you’re well.
Literally thought earlier today 💭 wonder when Eric will do a speed run video
what to do if there is no compression? will you be making a video on that as well? that would be amazing
I have also been checking my feed every hour for a week and a half... It was torture, I really hope you will be doing another speed run after this one. This should be your new bread and butter, the speed run episodes have to be among your most watched videos?
Finally it continues. Now that was a suspense. Let’s binge…

I was literally just rewatching one of your episodes and you finally uploaded! Immediate click
*Eric:* I'll give you a 60-year head start to get to 1650 before I do.
*Me at 7:* Heh heh. Sucker.
*Me at 67:* Dammit!
14:05
After Nf3, why wasn't F4 played to trap the rook?
Rxg5 hxg5
Nxg5 wins the queen

Awesome as always, especially game 1. Why do you get paired with lower rated players after beating higher rated players?
HE'S BACK!
MOM!
HE'S BACK
Feels so good to see another episode! Keep them coming.
I missed those 😁❤️🙋🏻♂️
I am somewhat amazed that he usually answers e4 with e5 and still avoids draws. I would have thought that an IM would always use the Sicilian or Alekhine against amateurs.
24:00 I think opponent was going for binary for 23 so matein23
Ive been playing for most of the afternoon and just made a couple of silly blunders, I needed this!
Is there a chance, that in the next episodes you could play openings with D4 (as white), since most of the time when you are white I belive you play e4. I think that would be very instructive :)
The 10111 in matein10111 is binary for 23.
I like the current set up...at leaste we can see you clearly and the boaed as well
14:20 missed f4 trapping the rook? I know he gets it later but could've been done earlier
There was a fork on g5
@@vladyslav737F4 is the best move actually
It is still clearly winning, but the way he did it avoided the loss of his pawns
Finally, this whole sleeping 8 hours thing was getting exhausting
"I'll pay openings I did at this age instead" plays e4 lmfaoooooo
8:17 would Nf4 and d4 have trapped the rook?
No it would've dropped a pawn I think. Nf4 Nxe5 Nxe5 Rxe5 and the rook is free
Love the series
Taking a break in the middle of a speedrun? Ok man...lol
Loving it so far but for the second opponent being 1550 it would be cool to consider the settings in searching for a game - possibly Leo of +- 50 or even 25?
19:09 as a Spanish speaker this part is funny
Oh no my day
Oh yeah we're back!

Old names
oh no my addiction
We are so back
Great games!

Kramnik enter the room
We need one video per day.
There is no way I watched 42 speed run videos! 🤯
Was that photo at the Gaylord in Tennessee for nationals
Yes!
I think the last person's name means "mate in 23" but in binary 😅
We knew the rating had to be US because of the hairdo 0:32
Hooray! You're back!!
23:31 There are 10 types of people those who understand binary and those who don't.
It took a while for episode 42. He kept losing to these 1600s, but finally got back on track.
Doesn’t Nf4 trap the rook here?
After my 3 game losing streak, I needed some actual good chess gameplay to get me back on track.
Good game 👍
Posting a speed run video is a rare tactic indeed!!
Nice Roc pfp. Nice to know there are other chess/ DG people out there. There are probably dozens of us!
Weird to think I'd be lucky to win against you out of 100 games.
9:55 can someone explain to me why white wouldn't trade queens first and then take the rook so that it could still have its knight on the board?
Black can take back with the rook!
Ohhh blind spot! Thanks haha
was looking for an excuse to not have an early night. lets go.
I'm still waiting for the first loss or at least a draw😂 probably up to around 2k3 elo 😂
I can't wait until Eric finally loses to someone. 👺
Just a comment to boost engagement,
DAH MAH GHED
131 wins interesting
What a hairstyle you had back then! Rofl.
Why does he get paired against lower rated players 95% of the time?
yes sir. \O/
You 2nd opponents name was damaged88. Then you beat him and said he got damaged. lmao
I don't get how players like damaged88 are rated 1550!
Will this account play against grandmasters one day?
42!
It’s been too long! Haha
