Eric’s catchphrases and commentary have been making me laugh hysterically since the first time I discovered the channel … some people just have the gift of funny 😂
“Let me poke you. Just a friendly poke. Maybe more than friendly. We’re gonna be more than friends. I’m gonna take your rook and hurt you.” -Eric “My Bishops are about to say hi” Hansen
@David Davesby Nah, he is just a regular (very good) GM. The super GM's are a step above him. He can hang with them at times.. but they are a bit better. He needs to harness his inner weeb.
@David Davesby Oh absolutely, he is a very good player no argument there. A strong GM no doubt. Just the (unofficial) super GM level starts at 2700.. Not quite at the very top yet.
I waited weeks to see this video, mainly every video of you against 2k+ was gold for me! I would love a new series after this with YOU ERIC playing 1+0 bullet with queen odd, it will be amazing to see it!
Eric, I really didn't think you could do this today. You've just earned more of my esteem. And you were already riding high on my esteem from this year's chess tournaments.
these are definitely some of my favorite games Eric has played. He's so incredibly talented when he's in a good mood. It seems to go the other way too when he's up against someone like Hikaru though, he sells himself short for sure.
What I like about Eric is his humor feels natural, like he just has these thoughts come to him on their own. A lot of guys who want people to think they're funny just act overly colorful and tend to be like "Mreh? How about that joke, guys? What a clown I am!" Tryhards.
...while playing a game of high-level chess, while streaming to a live audience. It's harder than it looks. For example, have you ever tried doing mental arithmetic while walking? It sounds easy, but as you increase the difficulty, you'll eventually find you stop walking in order to solve the math problem.
Well, he ended advancing that pawn till promotion and getting a Queen, so, maybe that's why he didn't want to take that knight, he saw a good future for that pawn

And he made two queens at the end 😅
235 games with no losses.. incredible and a blast to watch

@@Martin_Edmondson Strong GM is the term you're looking for
Playing bullet Eric is also at least a solid 3000

@@Martin_Edmondson He is superGM-level online, though.
Unbelievable to get to the mid 2000s in bullet time control with no losses OR draws
Is that a real picture of a pug smoking a cigar?!?
@@radscorpion8 Prob a blunt. Username checks out
@@brimmed jm
Because people can’t cheat
@@Brenbolone they actually can, Aman has played with a cheater in bullet
15:11 Juicy white holes
I've been stuck at this rating level for a while. Very instructive! Great job as always BRAH!
The 25 point swing vs SeniorCHT was my fav. That was a beating!
15:13 “Look at these juicy juicy, white holes”

Is this theory?
When Eric screams "SURE", it always make me laugh ahahah
This is.. extremely impressive. Well done man
Eric's outro makes me cry every time man it's hilarious 😂😂😂

11:40 start of an antichess (chess variant) game
finally the speedrun series ❤️ thx.
As the time progresses eric somehow gradually is transforming from central asian to eastern asian

Did someone just call out IM Levy Rosman?😂
Awesome stuff Brah, can't wait for the next one
Eric: crushes everybody at chess
Also Eric: hesitates to add up 8 + 5

All my speedrun's go the opposite direction lol
love this series. Eric is a machine
there's something extremly fascinating watching GMs doing speed runs
"Some people are born with chess names" lol that is so true. my name is Bret, so I cannot relate.
Here I thought they would've gotten their names after birth but apparently great chess names come straight outta the womb.
It’s okay Bret… Eric can’t relate either. 🤣
To my German speaking fellows: Bret was born to be a Schachbrett :D
15:11 ayo eric????
38:50 *trying to capture queen with king* “Is this theory”
Does anyone know the song at 2:30 been searching for weeks now
Wow
I never clicked on a video so fast in my life
What about Botez Gambin speedrun?
Anyone know the song at 12:15?
That's legit insane
over 200 wins in a row??? never losing on timeeven or getting flagged that’s insane, dude
24:37 😂
Thank u soo so much i like thay u talk during the games ❤
New speed run vid dropped!
I started the video, turned to pick up my popcorn, and his opponent had already resigned :D
First song? At 0:03?
I believe it's Nik Orosi - warriors
amazing!! love it when eric gets cocky haha
Can we please get these full vids on the extra channel ASAP 👀
What do you mean?
@@chessbrah the full VOD** similar to the blitz speedrun that is currently on part 3 over there on Extra 😍
@@chessbrah ^now that I think of it I think I blundered my comment…
@@frequensea9434 I’m pretty sure I saw them comment on the vod channel that they can’t upload every episode because they get taken down
@@AndouilleSlim makes sense considering they play awesome music during stream.
@35:40 still hearing the beat beat beat (youtube peeps asleep :) ).
Three things are certain in life: Death, Taxes, and Is This Theory?
This is honestly crazy all wins and no draws like what
Eric blasting his way to 2600 !
MOM CHESSBRAH JUST POSTED
10:17 why ?
White has a lot of compensation with the bishop pair on the long diagonals aiming to the king and probably Qh4 later
too much activity for opponent
Love you Eric
music solid as always
No way he makes it to 2800 without taking an L.
he uses knights pretty well
Hope to see episode 12 "3000-3200"
welcome back
"I believe everyone would find this interesting"
love the DANKJEWEL
Me as a 1300 laughing at how 2400 are blundering👽
@ 36:57 why not take the knight with a check?
Well, he ended advancing that pawn till promotion and getting a Queen, so, maybe that's why he didn't want to take that knight, he saw a good future for that pawn
2700 bullet is insane
15:14 🧐🧐🧐
2400's are decent ? Wdym Eric am i a beginner ? Ive been playing for 9 years
phenomenal chess
insane
Maestro!!!!!
“There are a lot of weebs in chess.” The weebs are dangerous.
Who's better, Eric or Aman? I'm beginning to think Eric 🤔
both are great but Eric is the better player, he is like number 200 in the world or something
@@fishklm makes sense tbf, thanks dude 👍
Why would you even want to know that
No IM, GM
I love uu😭😭❤
32:05 As someone with a Japanese flag on Lichess I can confirm xD
