Round 1 was insanely entertaining. I imagine your opponent literally evading the kitchen sinks. Takeaway: Never hide in the corner when someone does that to you 😅
Eric, your opponent missed checkmate with Rook to F6. Game against GM RantomOpening time stamp 1:39:39. Your king was trapped by your pawn move and his knight, H pawn and king controlled the other squares.
Reportedly, Magnus also thought the banning was ridiculous, so he (Magnus) played it and won 8 or 9 out of 11 with it. Of course, Magnus could face a player using only checkers and still win.
@@Drillbitayler nothing much whats smurfing with you? Lol jk, it's when a high level player uses an alt account to beat low level opponents and farm wins. It's pretty silly if you ask me, but people do it in a lot of games for some reason.
"The cons are you get an objectively lost position on move 2."
“Other than that Mrs. Lincoln, how was the play?” 😂
"Let's go."
"Keep checking til it's checkmate."
Heartrate: 137.
Eric is my man.
Another great video from my favorite comedian who dabbles in chess
"I'm out of my prep." I had a very hearty chuckle.
It's very cool how you're not afraid to play these risky openings for fun. You're great!
This shows how talented Eric is. When he gets all these players out of prep he can beat them.

Call it the demolition charge opening because you destroy your castle intentionally
Oh no my "long-castling-rights" 😅
first game was actaully insane
did eric miss Nc4 forking the rooks at 15:25? or am i missing something obvious?
Knight can't jump that far! It's on f3.
also b4 is the forking square, not c4
Thank you! You are right. I was seeing all kinds of imaginary tactics that didn’t actually exist.
3:47 Why not take the knight on d4?
Qe5+ forks and wins the rook
Fun/interesting to see the heart rate increase when the time starts to run out.
it's surprisingly effective! xD
I’m curious, why not take the knight near the end of the first game?

Not checkmate because of g5 pawn
Ahh, I see that now. Thanks
35:04 Nd4 would have been a better try than Na3. If he takes, its stalemate :)
Dont hold your btreath seeing this in the U.S. championship .
25:42 Holy h file parties Batman!
isn't u in spain for the tournament ?
Yeah but these are uploaded like a month after he streama
If you're curious of the date, it's in the description
Like the others have stated & also, this is Titled Tuesday as per the title, unless you are a time traveler, it's not tuesday today ;)
Hikaru is leading the tournament? Very interesting. Statistically speaking that's effectively impossible.
Didn't you already post this?
Difficult to watch, like cartel interrogation videos. Dismembering chess should be the title of this video.
Finally! The banned gambit!!
I was doing it 😂
....the guy got banned for using a weird opening...?? 🤔
Reportedly, Magnus also thought the banning was ridiculous, so he (Magnus) played it and won 8 or 9 out of 11 with it. Of course, Magnus could face a player using only checkers and still win.
I think the ban was for smurfing, not as much the opening.
What's smurfing?

@dj_enby your joke made me smile xD thanks for explaining that! I guessed it must be something like that but had never heard the term before :)
This should be a draw (no checkmate within 10 moves) th-cam.com/video/VcnbhMNPnFg/w-d-xo.html
this is openning only magnus can pull of lol
Krikor almost winning Hikaru 😍
😢
❤
yeah chess is a scam.. this opening proves
