Eric bullying lower rating opponents feels like me, and adult, playing judo with youngsters. Although I am not as merciless. At the end of the video the vibe was a bit like " I broke both his legs, but all in all it was nice to see him crawling and trying to get up. He put up a good fight." I was laughing ! Cheers, Eric, and have a nice day everyone.
I can't wait for the next episode to arrive. I like the good manner how Eric takes seriously his oponents who - let's be honest - play on a very basic level and often don't know what they are doing. Real gentleman.
This 100%, it's so nice to see a master who doesn't feel like it is necessary to berate weaker players. I'm only a casual player and a few weeks ago didn't know who Eric Rosen was but now I'm just captivated by this series and his wholesome approach to the games.
That last game was straight up gruesome, thanks for making us mortals understand every attacking idea with such level of detail, almost feels as if I could think of those moves (I can't!)
Goes to show how once you develop board vision and a habit of checking for tactical danger on each candidate move, then the simple strategic decisions (bishops vs knight with open center) really pay off.
I really like these Speedruns which, I think, are quite instructive, even for strong players. It would be interesting to see an advanced version of this against a stronger opponent, say 2000ish. That might work better with a longer time such as (20, 0) to allow more time for explanation of strategy.
@@Kaserbeam Yes, I realise that, but it will take a long time before he meets strong opposition, where the strategic discussion is at a more advanced level. Also, I think in a more advanced game, a longer time than 10 minutes would give Eric more scope to explain.
I can't begin to express how much I love this series. Every video feels like its two minutes long. Just the way you go through it and explain things. Keep it up!
In game 1, after Bf4, I was looking at Black playing Nxe4, Qxe4 Qxb2, Rb1 Qxc3. The initial capture of the knight allows Black to grab the extra pawn. Black can follow up with Nf6, gaining a tempo by making White move the queen. If Black instead followed Qxe4 with Nf6 first, White can relocate the queen to protect the b pawn, as on c2.
13:33 ha idk why but I also had the urge to play that move and blunder the second rook haha, I guess noobs think alike (even though I'm about 200 lower rated than your opponent)
I Think I'm addicted to watching this speed run and absolutely love the explanations you give for every move. Is there a way og getting the pgn to the games without having to write them down whilst watching?
I won a really nice game with the 4 knights bishop c4 where after takes takes pawn fork instead of queen d5 forking both I played queen g5 skewering the bishop and knight and attacking the pawn on g2. The game continued bishop took my knight on c6. Pawn recaptured and knight jumped to c6 to take my pawn. I captured on g2, rook g1 attacking my queen then bishop g4 check and he resigned after pawn push and taking with bishop
Following your channel is beginning to pay off. In this episode I was able to see two moves you played before you made the move. In future episodes the goal is to either increase the frequency the prediction of your moves or string two or more moves. Thanks for sharing.
"He won my rook, but he doesn't realize in that line I have rook b8 snagging initiative by attacking his undefended pawn on b2, and he can't actually play b4 because I will sac the knight and have a massive attack on his queen side.. oh wait"
The last game gave me heart palpitations. I would have wanted to cash in immediately with winning the exchange, but I guess that's why I'm not a chess master
Thanks for the speedrun, enjoying it. I would appreciate if you could match your room and clothing theme a bit darker to avoid the sharp white and black contrast. It would make it more pleasant on the eye. As an example, I like the scene setup of youtuber @t3dotgg
One bit of feedback (after watching a lot of Danya's speedruns), I'd encourage you to try to explain a lot of the latent ideas for both sides roughly at the level you are during the speedrun. Currently it sometimes feels more like you're explaining why your moves are crushing these newer players, rather than "how can I as a newer player find the winning strategy in XYZ position". Thanks for the content!
Its more an honor than a pleasure when it comes to observing Rosen instruct us. Seriously sharp hooter fell in the frying pan. Showed heart that first game.
Game 2 question: Why not attack white queen with black square bishop, defended by c6 knight instead of defending pawn structure with queen and blocking bishop?
I have a question: At 18:24, why did you not consider Nd4, attacking the pinned knight? My analysis would be if Nxd4, Bxd1, Kxd1, exd4, winning the exchange. Alternatively, if white does not move the knight, Nxf3, gxf3, Bxf3 forking the rooks looks very good to me. If white defends the knight with the queen, we can exchange the dark-squared bishop to force it to move again. Is my analysis correct, or am I missing something?
Eric can summon an opponent blunder by saying "It would be funny if..."
opponent was a paid actor
And it was funny lol
test
@@vedantyelmalle2439 test
am still laughing hahahaha
13:33 Eric’s opponent:
Oh no my rook
Oh no my rook
I'll fuckin' do it again
😂😂😂
Oh no my sleep cycle.
At least it never existed in the first place. You’re not losing anything.
Call an ambulance...but not for me...
Eric Rosen is the only cure to insomnia
That’s a good sleep cycle sac
Retweet
The double rook hang to the same bishop was pretty funny
Such a generous opponent
I’m pretty new to chess, and very capable of showing that kind of generosity.
Eric-stradamus. "It'd be funny if he plays rook b8 again." Lol 😂
That last game was brutal. The knight on f6 was an absolute unit. Real hero.

thanks for the calm content in sharp contrast with the jingling keys of the rest of the interner
Solid play esp. from an 1112 for the first half of the first game.
Eric going medieval on motolaT 😆 I hope moto’s not scarred for life.
That was me!! I wanted to type and tell he was cooking!!!
Cooked a whole damn meal@@tonylopez5157

pay respects to the guy losing both rooks, one after the other, by the same bishop, in the same square!
F
I like how Eric stays respectful after the double rook blunder, we’ve all been there 😂

As a caro kann player, could you try a caro kann game next episode? I'd love to learn some positional advice from blacks perspective from you
He didn't even let you finish your sentence before giving you that second rook 😂
The double rook sacrifice was really surprising.
Such a nice gift for my breakfast

@@Kaserbeam Do you know if he will ever get to the 2400-2500 level? Would be very interesting to see how he fares against players of my level.
Second game is a freaking masterpiece, thank you for this.
Loving this series Eric. Thanks for making them.
36:19: "Man I do have to give my opponent credit to, äh, like really trying to survive..."
- Eric, nicest guy on earth
"Taking wins the queen.... but..." Love that line.
I really like the commentary. The explanations help my game thinking processes. Thanks a lot.

That was funny, how the guy played Rb8 twice 😅
Love from france, best way to start my day
Great commentary and gameplay!
Nice games, very instructive
So informative
Thank you Eric
dont normally watch this channel but these videos are great, please continue this series!
Any time you seriously say "This wins the Queen, but...", you know it's a good game.
It's always the bishops taking aim from another galaxy.
The content that keeps on giving :D
The poor soul blundering Rb8 twice 💀💀
Levi: "He sacrifices... THE SECOND ROOK!!!!!!!!!!!"
“The bishops were staring at each other long enough.” Real life bishops also do that at lot tbh.
really enjoying the speedrun
Thank you for this great video. I'm loving this series! I do have a question tho: what razor do you use? You're always pretty well shaved
Braun Series 9!

Love this series! Great content
Imagine people who you beat checking your account and seeing 100% winrate in 70 games. You must be reported out of this world😂
It is stated clearly that it's a Speedrun account. The rating is refunded.
It says in the account's description that its an authorized speedrun account and the points will be refunded

Can't believe this channel only has 600k subs
how calm eric weighs his 1000 options to crush his oppenent in the last game is hillarious
I like these tutorials very much 👍
Lmao @ the double rook blunder 😂
13:30
LMAO the bishop was JUST there.
LOL! ZZSpeedy must have started with a 1200 rating and is working his way down the ladder.
Eric's hair looks very nice in this video
The internet is a creepy place even in chess video comments.
Will we be seeing any Stafford Gambits in the series?😊
We already saw one, but I was playing against it! th-cam.com/video/FkFYkrAwNjw/w-d-xo.htmlsi=V6DHqG2mIwBdC_BO
Couldn't black have won a pawn at 7:42
with
1. ... Nxe4
2. Qxe4 Qxb2
because the c pawn is now hanging?
I won a really nice game with the 4 knights bishop c4 where after takes takes pawn fork instead of queen d5 forking both I played queen g5 skewering the bishop and knight and attacking the pawn on g2.

Had a exchange sac then a queen sac Arabian mate yesterday mate in 6 it was beautiful my first oh no my queen
hahah first game 2 rocks at same square xD cant stop laughing...been there done that brother xd
34:45 opponent got to breath a bit after Eric almost choked the King

The last game I was feeling bad for black bishop and knight.
Eric: “Now it’s cleanup time” 💀☠️🪦🤩
"He won my rook, but he doesn't realize in that line I have rook b8 snagging initiative by attacking his undefended pawn on b2, and he can't actually play b4 because I will sac the knight and have a massive attack on his queen side.. oh wait"
This is legit how I sound trying to play like Eric but not actually knowing enough chess to find good moves 😂
Thanks Eric
I'd have lost it if my opponent blundered on the same square twice. Perhaps Eric has the talent to be a straight man?
No one ever hangs their rook to me, much less two of them. 🙄
Whoah i was scrolling for the last hr waiting for this 😅
Still chuckling he lost both rooks on the same square by the same bishop 😅 - I thought only I did stuff like that
The last game gave me heart palpitations. I would have wanted to cash in immediately with winning the exchange, but I guess that's why I'm not a chess master

"it would be funny if we see rook E8 making the same mistake"

that double rook b8 was funny
At 12:30, opponent forgot that the bishop covers b8 and put a rook there
At 13:32, opponent forgot that the bishop covers b8 and put a rook there
We need 2 hour speedrun episodes
Eric basically arm wrestling babies: total domination!
I like the content, but I'm already sub'd. Maybe I'll score some Oh no my Queen merch.
Any guesses on when Erick will take his first loss on the speedrun? I'll go for game 115
He's already an IM often performing at GM level. So the question should be when we see the first draw
I can't see him losing to anyone below 1900. Assuming he does up 100 rating points every 20 games, that would mean... at least 180 more games.
I'd doubt he'll draw to anyone below 2100. My take is he'll draw on game 285(?
I’m really starting to see better how you really plan an attack in a supported position
that good bishop just became best bishop
Double rook sacrifice!!!
The end of the game is unpredictable … but not for Eric )))
Pin + Fork = Pork
Fork + Mate = Fate
I would literally start crying if I was playing black in the last game.
in 6:16 if Qxb2, there is the move Bb3 to trap the queen and then attack it with either of the rooks
would've loved to see that XD
Qa3 saves the queen no?
@@Cr0zzleyou're right, oops, excuse my stupidity, i failed to notice that move, thank you so much for correcting me 😅
oh my GOD the double rook to b8
RIP ZZSpeedy
Rating system seems pretty messed up if somebody with a +67-0=0 record only has a rating of 1140.

Game 2 question: Why not attack white queen with black square bishop, defended by c6 knight instead of defending pawn structure with queen and blocking bishop?
13:33 😂😂😂 someone's day is ruined
That was indeed funny
ERIC ROSEN 🎉
I have a question: At 18:24, why did you not consider Nd4, attacking the pinned knight? My analysis would be if Nxd4, Bxd1, Kxd1, exd4, winning the exchange. Alternatively, if white does not move the knight, Nxf3, gxf3, Bxf3 forking the rooks looks very good to me. If white defends the knight with the queen, we can exchange the dark-squared bishop to force it to move again.
Is my analysis correct, or am I missing something?
1100s have blindness beyond 4 squares. Even if you just moved your piece 5 squares away the previous turn
caro two knights icbm variation
Oops! Same mistake twice. That's something I would do......
I rage deleted my chess accounts yesterday.. moments like 13:35 remind me why :D
Not this game but world greatest defense then my opponent walks the king directly the wrong direction once its over
