I been waiting for this! Love the series
haha i made it into the video 🙂
wish the board was more in the center of the screen
other than that love the series so far
I enjoy this so much! Thank you!!!!
I love these! Would be nice if you could announce the moves so that some people can listen to it like a podcast, i am training blindfold chess, and listening to this while on a walk could be very useful
Hi Eric,
All videos on both your channels have been watched, what am I gonna watch now? You need to upload content more often for your audience man, we can't do without some nice Eric content.
Bro going level 45 depth on 400 elo's who hang queen in 6 moves lol
Hey Eric! Could you make a playlist for the Ponziani? After watching your videos, its my new favorite opening! I also heard there are 15 total traps for the Ponziani, thought all 15 could make for a great video idea! Thanks for the amazing content. You're a legend!
Thank you such thoughtful and helpful information in a manner that newer players can understand.
Best series!
These are so good. And you are so good. You play with such style and elegance, its hard to describe. Like watching Federer play tennis.
One is not making Luft for the king. One would give Luft (Luft geben) to the king. Like in English you'd also give someone some air and not make them some air if you give them space to breathe, wouldn't you?
I have one question Eric, how do I prevent myself from playing a move like Queen e5?
Did black not have queen f6 at 12:07 ? Love the content btw!
26:25 I was expecting a Oh No my queen 🙁
Anyone else watching in the present?
At 10:07, why didn't you take the queen?
i thought everyone left twitch bc so many people get kicked for no good reason
Who was the 4 year old?!?
"Live to tape" were the words Eric was searching for at the beginning
First game was the opponent gambit
love this! Longer episodes would be great, but I understand those aren’t recieved well by the algorithm
This may be one of the most instructional videos I’ve ever seen, and the pace at which you were going was perfect. I followed everything beautifully. Was even able to see the queen move at the end that attacked the knight and bishop. Great stuff!!
Thanks for starting this speedrun I find these videos very informative
definitely like the 5-10 game sizing in the videos…2 games is way too little
Got Wilfred Brimley in the Diabeetus pump… damn… 😂
At 4:40 , How about Qg5? When the knight goes back you capture g2, forcing the opponent to castle queenside whoch will take at least 4 moves
Bullying lower rated players
Very instructive.
Best seriesq
I'm enjoying this quite a bit more than other speed runs I've seen streamed. Looking forward to these.
Enjoyed the games and your excellent explanations!
2 Things: 1.: At 19:40 you move the rook to the open file – I get that, but why not just castleing long, so combine it to bring the king to safety? Is it because White is more active on this side? And 2.: make "Luft" haha that is so funny for a German like me 😀 so cool that many words, for instance also Zugzwang are German :))
Loved it. Although I’m about 1300 I still learned a few things. Good notebook material.
I don't care about the content anymore if the duck isn't named Gerome by the next episode.
Humbly,
You subscriber
This is great content love it have been waiting for the 2nd video look forward to the third!!! Hi twitch chat from YouTube quack quack
Hi Twitch!
Qd4
b4
3:20 oh no my opponent!!
Eric Rosen robbing Daniel Naroditsky's house
i love that thanks to naroditsky the word 'speedrun' in a chess context is more like a slow run haha
More of the series
Love the vids. But I wish you'd make the board bigger and have the Webcam in the corner or something.
Luft for the win
"the king isn't a weakness if white can't exploit it", such is true of life
This kind of content ❤
9:59 Qa4 would save material
3:05 oh no my opponent
This video format is perfect <3 Great pace, not too long, not too complicated, I absolutely love it!
