    This video played while I was sleeping due to autoplay. I don't play chess, but I've now been sleep-conditioned to from now on never make blunders, I'll double fianchetto my hippo and keep developing the minor pieces and castles. If I play H4 white will play G4 which I will not allow. I will do a pawn break!! Opening lines and files. I'll live by these truths forever

    I”ll be honest - I enjoy these games with so much commentary much more than the higher level games, somehow there’s just not enough time to absorb all the complex ideas at those higher levels (master vs master), and unsurprisingly so. This series, on the other hand, helps build a repertoire of chess ideas, ever increasing in complexity! Thanks for that, Eric ❤

      Most likely cheating. I see this behavior often when a player offers a draw immediately after a few moves, as if to offer you an out so as not to hurt your rating, because they know they're going to be using some software to play the rest of the game, and because they only know a few safe moves to play in an opening before their lack of knowledge is completely exposed. The individual's rating stays low because it's dragged back down by many lower rated players accepting those draws.

      when you play people who are at your skill or lower and you offer early draws, you lose a little bit of rating rather than playing it out. Simply because in a "drawn" or equal position, the better player has an advantage, but both can see that it's drawn/equal just by looking at material.
      sure, the better player is also a bit better at seeing who has an advantage, but his advantage would be even bigger if he would play it out
      hope that makes sense

      I am very paranoid about cheating and sandbagging (rightfully), but I think this person is legit. Probably a 1500, but they didn’t play phenomenally, just very well for their rating…Eric made some mistakes. In particular, I was screaming for 13… Nd7, and I’m only 1800, but that is the top engine line and Eric paid the cost of white’s excellent knight. Not sure why he didn’t consider that in place of the sorta limp be7.

      @griffinbur1118 11 месяцев назад +4

      @@ndmb6333 It’s hard to tell, admittedly. The blunders at the end are sketchy, but I have done similar when I am under pressure-this guy likely knows he was playing Eric, who is one of the most visible people in chess. All I’d claim is that Eric chose a high-tension line…lots of good players make this mistake in speedruns (eg John Bartholomew). They can assume 99 percent of the time that they are best off not resolving tension early, but that is a high-risk, high-reward strategy. One risk is that it gives your opponent really obvious plans and lots of good moves, and you have to find very exact moves. So the game just isn’t good evidence either way. Better evidence is when you play cautiously and your opponent finds all the waiting moves because those are simply way less intuitive. Not all top moves are equal. But I will agree that the blunders at the end when Eric had almost no time were fairly weird.

      @MJ-mi9qc 8 месяцев назад

      @@stvia Yeah but you could likely see white's ideas no? The general gameplan was pretty logical. I think a 1200 on a good day can see those moves. It's like a flow chart, you see a few ideas and the more high in rating you go, you see more ideas. White just played very solid. Good counting and good positional awareness. There weren't any crazy 3-move tactics that white saw. In fact, white blundered the game on a 3-move tactic that they didn't see. I think it makes a lot of sense for white to just have a good game and play solid positional chess. It's possible they are casual and have a great intuitive understanding of the game but don't have any opening knowledge (explaining the strange moves in the opening), so they fall into opening traps to lower rated players. That's kinda how I am. I am almost 1100 rapid but I lose games to 600 rated players in bullet because I don't see traps sometimes.

    In the hippo game, was there a tactic where when he attacked the white queen with bishop b4 and black responded with c3, he could have played d4, opening the dark square bishop to seeing the knight while attacking the pawn that is blocking the bishop from seeing the queen. If white takes the bishop, you play bishop takes knight with check and win a free rook, and if white moves the knight, the rook is hanging.. if queen b2 defending everything, d takes c3 knight takes c3 bishop takes c3 queen takes c3 bishop takes b3 queen takes b3 the rooks left hanging to rook takes a1 check. And if you ever take the pawn on d4 either the knight or the rook hangs

    At 1:45 why did you only consider Ne5 and not also Ng5?

    • @thekilla1234
      @thekilla1234 11 месяцев назад

      Ne5 attacks d7 which is an escape square for the king, but Ng5 doesn't.
      Ng5 allows black to take the queen, then Bxf7 isn't mate because the king can escape using d7.

      Nothing really. C4 is a very popular move in that position. Bb5 just carries with it more tactics and is more aggressive.

    • @Sinzari
      @Sinzari 11 месяцев назад +1

      Nothing wrong with it, but the reason it doesn't give an advantage is that after c6, if you take, black gets very fast development as compensation with Nxc6 and you'll have trouble defending your c pawn, and if you don't take, there's no way to defend the d pawn long term. There's other continuations too, but that's one option for black.

  • @lucasirineu2824
    @lucasirineu2824 11 месяцев назад

    Why at the start of the second game he develops the b knight but not the g knight? From my understanding of openings the c pawn is the one you usually want to throw forward because the f pawn weakens the king

    • @Sinzari
      @Sinzari 11 месяцев назад +3

      The hippo is such a passive opening that there's a lot less risk, so he was trying to punish it by potentially playing more aggressively on the King side. He would then be able to castle Queen side for a more aggressive game.
