    30 move draw playing the Italian? Eric's ready to become a super GM

    • @MatsMatsuo
      @MatsMatsuo 2 ปีที่แล้ว +51

      1- Play the italian to preserve pieces
      2- at some point play d4 as white or d5 as black
      3- Trades everything anyway
      4- Draw

      Ha! That's so funny... I came on here to congratulate Eric, but also point out its the VERY first time I've witnessed him being nervous! Granted he dealt with the nerves with grace, but it was unmistakable to hear in his quickened pace, his breathing, etc. Was FUN to watch this difference!

I'm sure this is the wrong platform to ask, but I'm hoping you'll give me your best recommendation on how to become a better player. (besides playing) I'm stuck in the 1100s rating, rapid.

    This has to be one of the best post-game interviews of any sport i have seen ever. It makes such a difference when the interviewer is of similar skill level to the interviewee as it's really nice as a viewer to see both of you adding things to the discussion, and reminds me of working on homework problems in college groups. Even when compared to esports, where interviewers play the game somewhat competitively, they don't play in proper tournaments like we see here in chess. Bravo to both of you!
