Don't shit on Naka. He is on par with MVL and Magnus. Magnus doesn't explain himself much. MVL doesn't communicate a lot. Nakamura actually explains his playing through the game. You can't ask for more
@@Kobs.A I kinda exaggerated that hikaru and magnus are miles away from him actually. He is already legendary, probably top 5 in the world in blitz format.
they're both good in their own right. there's room enough in the chess world for many great streamers... but I gotta admit, the chess brahs are still #1
I really enjoy when I can hear the comments and thoughts of the player. I never understood the concept of letting background music ruin the main content. Thanks for another great video.
"For fucks sake I blundered mate, People are banging next door guys I can't focus like this. This is why I don't wake up this early. There's literally bed creaking next door"
interesting first game: opponent doesn't know theory, Erik feels it, simply goes for the basics, takes material which causes snowballing losing effect for the opponent. Simple, clean game against 2600. Meanwhile, here I am, struggling with 1800 D:
I certainly am no expert. but why did black resign at 3:56 ? I didnt spend much time analyzing but isnt Rb6 okay? maybe leave the rook on b5 and play Qe6 to pin the bishop. Cause after Qe6, Qh7+, Kf8, Ba3+, Ke8, the bishop on e4 is still pinned cause if it moves black simply plays QxR + on e1 and assuming white doesnt move bishop....Qh8+ or Qf8+ looks crazy because after Kd7 now the white queen is attacked. Again im not an expert and im probably not suggesting the best defensive move for black after Eric played Qh6 at 3:56. And in the line I gave im certain black is losing positionally. But is it really that lost that you should resign simply for the fact that white has 2 bishops for a rook and has a better queen? im only asking because I dont see an immediate checkmate. If you have a better line for white or can give the best defensive line for black and how white just rolls up black I would love to see it. Thank you.
4:58, is NG5 viable? It threatens on the spot mate + opens the Bishop's eyes on G2, Black's dark square bishop has to take, use your next turn picking up the Queen?
preplanned stuff that has been mathematically analyzed and proven to work, as opposed to intuition/experience. i don't even play chess lol but fairly sure that's how it works.
"What do you do when you blunder? Pretend you didn't blunder."
Spoken like a true GM
My rating is only 1000 and I do that lol
@@JordanMetroidManiac whoa dude maybe ur a gm then
17:58
30:46 lmao that reaction to being paired with firouzja again
That's why I keep watching this video. Everything else is hilarious, but there's something special about that moment. lol
22:45 alireza firouzja: boss level? lol
5:30 someone getting their back blown out. We are witnessing Aman become A Man
Maybe it's Aman 😢😅
15:42 that rook g3 move turned out to be genius especially for 3-minute blitz, you stopped his whole attack
oooooh good catch
"What do you do when you blunder? Pretend you didn't blunder." Why didn't I think of that!?
Daaaamn it was really entertaining and funny against dimitry maximov, i would love to see an entire match against him!! What do u think guys?
lol yee fookin awsoms idea . then after they can fart in their mouth ,.
@@lucasandersson8329 what?
bro that took a quick turn
@@lucasandersson8329 NININININIANANANANANANANANA
The music that was playing made it seem like a boss battle in a video game, made him seem that much stronger
Eric’s personality is so great to watch! Way more enjoyable here than Hikaru saying the same thing 5 times in 5 seconds. Great gameplay
This is hilarious
Don't shit on Naka. He is on par with MVL and Magnus. Magnus doesn't explain himself much. MVL doesn't communicate a lot. Nakamura actually explains his playing through the game. You can't ask for more
@@smmshoe lmfao not a delusional hickey fanboy
It's all fun until Firouzja shows up!
MSTF ICI who is that guy,a super gm?
@@Kobs.A He is a 16 year old prodigy from Iran, very fast kid.
Eren Yalçın thanks hopefully he becomes a legend in chess
@@Kobs.A I kinda exaggerated that hikaru and magnus are miles away from him actually. He is already legendary, probably top 5 in the world in blitz format.
K K He is a good GM
We want more matches versus Big D- Ma :D
dima
😂🤣
Guy's a monster
D-Max.
17:48 "No he is really calculating out here ...He is really out here" got me lmao
Everybody gangsta till firouzja shows up
i love it when he rages and throws chairs around.
where's the last installment? I watched all the videos, feel left hanging
obviously he hasn't gotten to 3k yet... as he seems to keep losing to 2800's
Can't do my speed run with Firozja lurking here 😂😂😂😂😂
Lmaooo 😂😂
Dang Nb5 looked nutty in the win against dima I see you hansen
Isaiah Mc Intosh yeah that was a nasty move.
Almost a year... still waiting for the 3000 LOL
That clock is counting. :D
lol
@@JL-hq4sg LOL
I know this is months old, but i love your music selections man
its kind of sad that this speedrun was never completely and kind of canceled
still more entertaining than Hikaru's speed run .... chess brah fan here....:D
Gaming HD why?
they're both good in their own right. there's room enough in the chess world for many great streamers... but I gotta admit, the chess brahs are still #1
Also don't have to listen to Hikaru singing :)
same
Hikaru Just playing to get time win there is nothing entertaining
I'm also on a speedrun to 3000. It's a few decades in making
Takinsur slowrun
@@Philgob lol
My speed run to 1000 has been going about 13 months now
9:43 Qxc6. If king moves then Qa4; if Kxc6 then Nd2; king moves and Nc4. Mate avoided.
Correct, still down a queen and a rook for a knight and bishop
Still the best channel on the Internet
I really enjoy when I can hear the comments and thoughts of the player.
I never understood the concept of letting background music ruin the main content.
Thanks for another great video.
No cheaters in these high ranks.
Feels good man.
Dmitriy Maximov became GM when he was 15, got a page with his bio on Wikipedia
3:55 ERIC: "What am I missing?" - opponent instantly resigns - NOTHING, it would seem, Eric!!
Did i hear someone banging at 5:30
"For fucks sake I blundered mate, People are banging next door guys I can't focus like this. This is why I don't wake up this early. There's literally bed creaking next door"
@@raknos13 only true fans will know
I don't know if the hammering in the background is apartment noises or part of the beat of the music. That's 2019 for ya.
Eric plays weak opening
Eric: I'm already in trouble here
It's not a weak opening. Some modern variation of Sicilian. Unless you're playing vs. Big Dima
@@ArtyomPalvelev Big D-ma vs small Eric
Whenever I watch Eric play his thinking and movement are so fluid. Props to him for reaching 2850!
love you guys. Keep up the good work.
did this account ever make it to 3000?
The mouseslip reactions juyst keep killin' me:-D
15:30 even the music became a little tense at that moment
DmitryMaximov with the MaxD!
Sadly I started playing chess 4 years and missed all this fun heard how fun your streams are better I never imagined how great it will be
2700, its time to use Firmino opening.
Eric please dont cut openings.
1:26 If wasnt Ka1 and was another move. 1. a3 Rb2+. 2. Rb2 Nd2+ 3. Ka1 Nc4. Is that a good move?

Dam i love the music! Do you have a playlist on Spotify to share?
Look up Eric Hansen, you'll find it
I certainly am no expert. but why did black resign at 3:56 ? I didnt spend much time analyzing but isnt Rb6 okay? maybe leave the rook on b5 and play Qe6 to pin the bishop.

Thanks man, very very instructive.
You missed mate TWICE in the end game against Ferreira. There was another moment at 7:26.
4:58, is NG5 viable? It threatens on the spot mate + opens the Bishop's eyes on G2, Black's dark square bishop has to take, use your next turn picking up the Queen?
than Black checkmate him on g2 bc the enemy bishop protect the Queen
Which song at 9:36 ??
32:18 daaaaaaaaamn
9:28 wouldn't knight e5 work???
Love the amazing content
At 28:17 wouldn't it been a good move to go bishop c5 then queen d4. Seems like that could of won the game
Why didn't he take the bishop on b2? At 29:50
15:30 very nice move
Way better than Hikaru's channel.
More entertaining right
@@edwardshowden5511 more muscles, better music, more emotion. More life.
@@imtiazs7080 Im not sure about muscles. Hikkaru would crush Eric and Aman in MMA. He is big and strong.
22:45 alireza firouzja: boss level? lol
Miss this type of content
Sick defense by Hansen at 17:00
Hey Eric, is the a reson the openings are edited out? It's a shame not being able to watch the fill game when you blitz straight through
Did you give up on going to 3k?
Probably bcoz of firouza
Dmitry Maximov deserves a proper blitz match with you. That would be very interesting to watch, as both of you are very tactical players.
20:23 Ra8 Bf8 Ne7 Kh8, then capture bishop and gg?
never mind, he just did that a move too late. Glad I saw it tho! Only 1050 rank rapid haha. Really enjoyed watching you destroy 1200-1500.
5:29 why not Ng5? Threatening mate with Qh7 with a discovered attack on Qc6 with Bg2.
Richard Waterson u take this knight and then qg6
Lol mate in 1 for black
5:32 bullying Eric with a basketball
5:28 wouldn't knight G5 be a better move?
Qxg2#
20:46 game is amazing
He could have played c3 at 9:03 or am i mistaken?
If you listen carefully, Hansen explains why c3 doesn't work. 9:37
@Tappekran if he does that it give black a free movw and hes already losing so...
Qa3 followed by Qc1 still mate
Im not smart so can someone tell me what Theory is? He always mentions it.
Established convention from previous games or otherwise known analysis done in preparation for a game.
@@Isaiah_McIntosh Hey thanks man. I coudlnt tell what it meant.
@@felinetoast Its cool bro. Always nice to have new blood in pool
Gracias!!! my entretenido. Cuando otro speedrun?
I like your streams better then Naka's. Here us, mortals, have time to figure out what's going on the board
Can someone pls explain me the next winning moves at 3:54? 😅
All forced. Bh7+ Kh8, Bf5+ Kg8 Qh7+ Kf8 Qh8 mate (Rook on e1 covers king's escape)
6:51 Rf5, maybe? Saves the rook and stops ..f5 but keeps the pin on the knight.
queen takes f6 follows a very similar sequence, except bishop is not threatening bxa8
what’s the song at 8:56 when he says “nice song”
Carlos Castillo
Song name appears bottom right of the video
29:34 can't he just take with the King? or am I missing somethin here
11:50 why is bishop to B7 no move?
Bb7 and exchanging rooks leads to losing position for Eric eventhough the position is already losing.
Rooting for 3000! I wonder how long it will take 🤔 that is so far out of my league I have no idea.
Name of the song at 9:00 please!
Planet 9 - Adam Port
@@blackwolf6978 Thank you!!
That Adam Port tune is amazing
2:30 Nd7??
What headphones you got man?
Where's the episode where you made it to 3000?
At 5:25 Ng5 wins the Queen as threatens mate on h7? No?
g2 is hanging
@@mertsanl1975 ah. Thank you
TheDadbadshuffle
Almost dirty flagged Firouzja 😂
2nd game you had mate in 3 by queen to g2 check then 2 from there easy find early
Where are these streams done?
@26:30 when chess becomes an rts game:D
What's the outro song for the video?
Give me Firouzja back lmao
Cool bro. Young GM. Fun
why he didnt take the bishop?
9:46 pC3 thats how u avoid mate no ?
Qa3+ Kc2 Qc1#. If I see it correctly
which site is this
What's the music album??
Did you sleep while doing this?
30.5 Losses before Firouzja. 38.5 After.
I found this channel about a year or less ago. What is this channel?
Also I do play chess. But cheeks at it
What does he mean when he keeps asking "Is this theory?"
Openings, combinations, sequences. Google "chess theories", there are a lot of it out there.
preplanned stuff that has been mathematically analyzed and proven to work, as opposed to intuition/experience. i don't even play chess lol but fairly sure that's how it works.
Paul Vater not quite mathematically analyzed but yeah
That second game mate in 2... damn
It would be ok if you don't cut the video in openings parts
Agreed
So, where's the rest of the speedrun?
Holy shit :) you're so good
Is it just me or does eric look like the chad version of bobby fischer
