![DRAGON BALL: Sparking! ZERO - Fused Warriors Trailer [BUDOKAI TENKAICHI Series]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/84p4Lvyfyes/mqdefault.jpg)
I maxed out at 1104 rapid last month. Now, after several weeks of diligent study, I'm almost at 1050
That's usually the case after learning a bunch of new ideas at once as it forces you to reset your usual game. That's natural, don't let it out you off.
I know absolutely nothing about you and have no reason to be able to predict your success, but I believe in you. Youll get there.
Yeah, what he said. Giver, buddy @@ThatRaisinTho
Don't worry bro, there are always fluctuations. Just keep at it, the study time pays off with a delay of maybe some months, rating is not gonna skyrocket overnight when you're out of the hundreds
Classic :)
"Average amateur rating"
EMOTIONAL DAMAGE
BRAH I SPENT A YEAR GETTING TO 800
@@Ben-py2xqdidn’t you start at 1200 when you started account?
@@Ben-py2xq thats sad if u diligently studied most of the days
Yeah, this one hurt 😂
@@Ben-py2xqdawg one year of study should’ve got you to 1200 what you been doingg
980! I would be higher but my opponents keep playing different moves than the ones your opponents do.
I have the same problem 😢
Translation: "I would be higher but my opponents keep playing moves that thwart my plans!"
@@danielward7008 That is the joke.
@@mookz34 Yeah, my autistic tendancies make me pedantic 🤪
@stronkde, as you get better, you're able to rely more on your theoretical prep. 😅
In this video Eric says he's rated between beginner and master. Thanks Eric. That clears it all up.
IM Rosen is a bonafide master. LMAO 😂
He said he's rated almost exactly between those two
@@psaini1999that's where he is currently rated in the speedrun
@@tomabud8700 nearly 99% of all humans that have ever lived are rated there also, that's the funny point of the statement.
26:48 Eric has a moment of extreme anger.
the cutest anger ever
This violent outburst was really scary to watch. I think Eric should consider anger management therapy. Also, this video should be age restricted.
😂@@radosawkarwacki4386
😂
I'm 1850 blitz, 2050 rapid on LiChess, and learning loads from this speed run - thanks very much.
(19:00 I did manage to spot that tactic during the game. Tactics are always easier to spot when you're not the one playing the game.)
Eric is actually so fun to watch. I really like your personality and charm.
I didn’t see the Queen sac during the game, although I could smell that there might be something and I was trying to find it. But when I saw your face looking at the engine with that position on the board it instantly became obvious to me. Crazy how easier it is to find a tactic when you _know_ there’s one.
Same. I had been sniffing around pawns on a2 and b2 as well and didn’t think of the Queen sac until Eric said “Oh wow!”
Same thing for me as well. It looked fishy but I have a terrible habit of assuming the opponents queen has a random move to escape.
Wondering if this is why it’s a bit easier to execute tactics in puzzle rush but harder in real games :P
@@KreatorX1029 I would definitely say so
My rating is so low it gets mistaken for the high temperature of the day.
My man said it's chilly outside 😂
Well carry on watching IM Rosen showing you how it's done. It'll soon rise 👍
Celcius or Fahrenheit 😅
What's a rating?
😂
Eric, I recently hit 1700 on lichess RAPID. Really enjoying this series ! You are a great teacher, thank you from all of us.
In my first game after watching this video I faced the French defense and it went in to the exact same variation as your last game but with Kxh7, what a feeling to play Qd3 instead of throwing the game away and deliver that checkmate 😍 thanks for creating the best content on RUclips!
I'm currently around 1350 rapid on lichess. I've gotten a friend of mine into chess over the past year and a half and that has really helped me to improve my rating. Love the series.
Eric bro i started following you in 2018 and I was feeling very nostalgic yesterday still remembering those old days and the state of chess at that time. I went through a lot of your old stuff, you were my first chess teacher my repertoire was all of your opening recommendations and I still play some of them. Chess has come too far I am happy for the growth of the channel, keep it up!
Did not see the Queen sac. But then I didn't understand going all-in protecting the pawn with the Queen either!
I'm 1715 Lichess, loving this series so far Eric! Cheers from The Netherlands.
Same! Lets play!
First time ever commenting on your channel. Surprised when I did see the temporary queen sac on the first game. Of course I paused the video after each move which gave me plenty of time to find such moves. Thanks for the many hours of great content. Forever a fan.
IT JUST KEEPS ON GETTING EVER MORE EXCITING! VIGOROUSLY SHARING ON OTHER PLATFORMS AND THROUGH EMAIL WITH FRIENDS IN VARIOUS COUNTRIES, ALONG WITH OUR CHESS CLUB MEMBERS. SUCH INSIGHTS AND PURE JOY! BLESS YA ERIC. MIKE.
Hello, Eric! I am very happy to see your speedrun videos. I was focusing on my rating climb for a week, also streaming my way to 2000 elo and I just reached 1600 in rapid with pseudo Trompowsky and Tronpowsky as white and the Sicilian and Scandi and Benoni with black. I really hope you’ll play the other openings on your way to master
Couldn’t wait any longer for another episode
I'm a bit behind but I love this series and will absolutely watch them all some day!!! Some I have already revisited and I'm sure that will continue to be the case. Thank you so much for doing this series. :)
Eric I was rated 700 and i have used the speed run, which is very clear and informative, to reach a rating of 1000. Thank you for the excellent content. I have watched all 35 episodes, and many multiple times. I look forward to seeing out the full speed run. cheers. chris
Danya would love that pawn endgame! He's got a fantastic end game series with similar pawn promotion puzzles.
Easily the best speedrun episode so far.
Another great episode. Looking forward to more spicy endgames.
that 2000 years later cracked me up ;) great content eric i love this content great instructional value
At this point can you even call this a speedrun if it takes more than 2000 years?
Thanks for the content, Eric!
A master class; thanks Eric. Your analysis and explanation of options are very helpful.
1164 rapid on Lichess - Your thought process in these videos is very helpful. I still have to constantly remind myself to check all of my pieces and not just where the action is. Because that's where I end up losing. Or I take too much time and blunder with 30 seconds left. Thanks for the up;loads
Thanks Eric! This series so so fun and interesting to watch
I’m not sure why it would interest you what your viewers and fans are rated but, since you ask, I am about 800 playing 10 min games. My worst fault is playing too quickly and not acknowledging threats. When I take my time, I tend to blunder less frequently. My rating even totters above 800 very occasionally, before slumping back down after doing something idiotic.
I really appreciate and enjoy your videos and your enthusiasm for the game. Thanks.
Wow Eric. Crazy first game.
I saw that tactic on f1 and was so frustrated that you missed it 😂
Yay! Another speedrun episode! My favorite youtube content!!
18:50 yea i was almost yelling "SAC THE QUEEN!!!" out loud when you had that opportunity but i assumed you'd just calculated it was a bad trade in some way that i'd missed lol, well played regardless :))
Hey :) Rated around 1200 at the moment and I've been following this speedrun since day one ! You're an awesome teacher Eric. Being that calm and good at explaining every modes makes a big difference to understand the depth one single move can have. Big thanks from France !
9:49 and interesting line here could be: sac the queen Qxf1 Bxf1 so then Bd5 pinning the queen to the king and forcing Qxd5 Rxd5 if Bc4 you might save the F pawn by forcing a trade with the horsey and you may end up with a rock up vs bishop
Maybe Im missing something idk, Im not even close to a IM so😂
Love your videos Eric, greetings from Spain❤
Edit: Nevermind, I saw the review at 18:41 😂
I saw the 'Oh no, my queen' moment, but I have usually lost before getting the chance!
I guess Eric’s now learned why it’s called the Greek Gift. 😂
I play rapid on Lichess quite a lot. My current rating there is 1596, although it fluctuates between about 1520 and 1620 depending on me and my opponents. Thanks so much for this series, Eric. I'm really enjoying it. No, I didn't see the Queen sac in the best game.
I hit 1878 this weekend, just 122 points away!
any tip for a 1000 rated player like me?
@@abictor3312 I really like the 'Predator at the Chessboard' website for getting better at tactics. It's what I wish I'd had when I was around 1000, and it's still useful now I'm over 1800.
The site seems down at the moment, but can be viewed through Wayback Machine. (It's so good I ended up buying the book version.)
Congratulations. 1800 is my long term goal.
I havent been studying a whole lot of chess, but I appreciate you taking the time to expand on variations of some of your most recent games.
I'm currently 601, I barely remember openings after 10 moves but I can beat opponents who obviously blunder 😅
I've only been playing for about a year, and before that I hadn't played since elementary school.
Thanks for helping rekindle my love for a classic game I was better at when I was 10 😂❤
This is my favorite chess content on YT
I'm rated 1334 on Lichess. I play mostly 10+5 games. Your rapid game videos help a lot. I've gone up over 100 points watching you and doing a little studying, analyzing my games and experimenting. I usually do best when I've got a new idea to try out--although sometimes it can be a disaster at first.
I am 1044 in Rapid games, and I saw the bishop-Queen pin! A+ Nice win, Eric!
On Monday this week, I have achieved the Bishop & Knight Checkmate on the Chesscom Kingdom App against a 1100 bot in a full game. Thanks to you, Ross, Lichess lessons & Diamondcutter’s general lessons have really improved my game play and board vision.
I saw the queen sac right after the engine found it and you brought it to my attention.
As a 1500 rapid player this video is a perfect representation of this level of chess. Navigating a relatively sharp position, a few wonky moves, some moments of true resourcefulness but ultimately missing some important tactics. Next game: falling for some preparation you've never seen before and losing instantly.
Great series. Slowly watching them all.
I saw the tactic of taking on f1 as you were playing in that position. I had to calculate a couple of times to make sure I didn't miss it
I noticed the queen sac. Great content, Eric.
My rapid rating is ~1550 while my blitz is ~1350, both on lichess. Mostly thanks to Eric. This series has been a big help.
really instructive endgame in the Vienna Gambit game
Thanks for a very nice series! I am 1780 Fide. Greetings from Trondheim, Norway!
Usually between 2000-2100 rapid and Blitz on Lichess. Love your speedrun series!
Thank you Eric for a great series! I just found it, watched 4 of them sofar so I have many episodes to catch up on🙂 I am 1650 Rapid on Lichess
Hugely enjoy watching these (1800 graded player). Much to learn from!
~1500 rapid lichess mid 1300 blitz, thanks for all the great instructional streams, Eric!
Im beginner for about 1 year,rated 8-900,your Channel is a pleasure to watch and to learn this game😎👍🏻💪
Rated 1250. Your Speedrun is the best chess content on RUclips. 😊
I play over the board in my local chess club, rating +/- 1650, current playing level in this series is ideal for me, your commentary during the games is top !
I'm 2300-2400 blitz and bullet on both sites. Love these videos nonetheless. You explain things so well that there is always something to takeaway.
I'm 1750 Lichess rapid right now. I've watched every episode because I learn something every time, even when you tactically smash beginners.
Getting my speedrun fix! LEtsGO!
1) I play all my games in Lichess, so my rating is specific to that platform.
2) Ratings are specific to different time controls. I play mostly blitz, with a rating currently around 1700. But my bullet rating is under 1400. Every now and then I play a few bullet games to get over 1400, but I can’t seem to do it.
3) Different time controls have different strengths of players. I played several hundred 3/2 blitz games and my rating hit 1600 and was pretty stable. I switched to playing 5/3 games, and in a week my rating went to 1700, where it has generally stayed.
My theory is that the shorter the game, the better the players on Lichess playing that time control, even within the somewhat arbitrary bullet/blitz/rapid categories. .
4) I don’t really have a sense of what my rating number actually means except in relation to someone else’s rating. A more meaningful number to me is the “percent of players you’re better than” number that Lichess gives you. At least I know what that means.
19:10 Hi 🙂 That 2N was a beauty
You re too much for these guys ;) thanks for the video
Around 2100 rapid on lichess here. Love your content Eric!
I’m 1240 daily, 1050 rapid and 850 bullet and blitz. Keep up the great content I’ve been keeping up since episode one
Hi Eric, I’m rated 1100 currently. Up 400 points since I started watching your speed run, thanks for all your help.
At 11:10 instead of gxf4 taking the bishop right away I saw another in between move I think you should have played using the same idea you mentioned several times. Bd5! forces the queen to move off the diagonal so it will never be able to take b2, then you take the very strong bishop on g2 with check. And finally you can play gxf4 with no consequences. Would have been a very clean win if you had played this I think.
Also possible but not as good was Bxf5 in between move. But I think forcing the bishop trade would've been crushing here.
I saw Bxf5 and thought I must have been missing something when Eric didn’t play it but Bd5 is even more beautiful
I am somewhere around 1400 rapid, but i'm kind of half-assing it because i mostly play to battle boredom and end up playing idiotic, risky openings and losing a lot.
I'm at a point where i'd have to seriously study openings and refine my Theory to further improve in rating, but as of right now i dont really have the time or the incentive to do either.
Love watching your videos !
545 Rapid...started playing a couple months ago. Struggling still 😅
It's okay brother, soon you can be like me at 800 with 3000 games played. We're going to make it bro
Keep at it man, those early days are the best because you can really start crushing your opponents once you learn some solid openings and simple tactics.
Then carry on watching these videos. The best way to improve is by learning from stronger players than yourself 👍
I’m with you. Started playing a year ago and I’d be happy if I could sit as high as 545.
I’mat 1350 now, having gone up 100 points since watching your speed runs. (Rapid chess 15/10) Thanks so much for teaching.
I remember in one of his lectures Ben Finegold gave a rule on judging whether a Greek gift will work: it probably works unless black can play Bf5 in response to Qh5. Different move but same mechanism and reason in this case.
I was screaming "QUEEN F1!!!" haha. I only saw it bc I had a game yesterday with a similar tactic. I'm sure I would've missed it otherwise
19:17 yes it was seen. As soon as I saw you missed this, I figured you'd have something to say about it in the game review. We can't catch all the tactics all the time 🤷🏾♂
I also spotted to take the rook on F1 with the temporary sacrifice of the queen!
I've never played enough to generate a rating, just love the idea of it.
19:02 proud of myself for finding this!!!
OK, my rating today is around 525. I've had brief periods above 600 but normal right now is high 500s. Honestly I feel like this rating is under rated because I get some good games at this level. We usually both make mistakes which is part of the fun I guess. Sometimes I make it through a game without too many mistakes and the game review often gives me an accuracy above 80% and thinks I'm above 1000, so I think dumb mistakes are still my main problem.
I'm really enjoying this series though. I've watched them all so far. I really appreciate your calm demeanor. I think it makes it easier to learn. Thanks so much for all that you do!
I'm around 1100 Lichess, but play very little, I enjoy watching speedruns too much. But I did see the queen sac, which makes me very happy and might be the pinnacle of my chess career :)
Ive never played rated. Love chess but for some reason im super nervous to play online. Love the videos!
Consider giving yourself a handicap, like only playing the "egg opening" (e pawn, g pawn, g pawn move in that order, first). Or only hunt Rosen Trophies in general. It will be interesting to see where you can get being at a clear disadvantage and you'll have something to blame for your losses to preserve your ego while also getting used to rated play in general. I fully get rating anxiety, but there are ways to face it.
That was really nice advice I appreciate this comment
I might give the rosen trophy thing a go
26:20 Camera warranty expires.
26:21 Camera expires.
21:35 I’m so happy I found this move
When reviewing the Vienna gave, as soon as you noticed you'd missed a tactic, I saw what it was. But only for the same reason I can see tactics when doing tactics training; because I know it's there. But I definitely didn't spot it during the game.
It's interesting how between danya's speedruns and eric's speedrun, you can sort of see the difference between an IM and GM. danya pretty much completely wipes the floor against anyone below 2000. eric is a stronger player than I will ever be but compared to danya makes a lot more inaccuracies that can get him into trouble even in the amateur range. it's cool seeing how big of a difference positional and tactical minutiae can make.
0:47 Eric's an oracle. He knew about F4 (Vienna Gambit) before it was played.
I saw the tactic taking on F1!! Maybe there is hope for me yet.
Peak 1950 rapid on cdc- saw the Qxf1 move - proud of myself for that
1350 rapid thanx to your videos Eric!
1450 Lichess Rapid! Love your content Eric!
Thank you. Really enjoying this series. At 950 getting my butt kicked but trying to learn.
I'm right there with you at 950
hovering 1200 CC I did see the queen taking on f1 but I was hesitant as to whether I was missing some counter resource or whether you actually missed the tactic
Around 11:00-11:30 => was now moving to d5 not the best, prior to taking the black Bisshop... or would then the opportunity to capture that Bisshop be lost?
I'm a steady 1300 (give or take a 100) at blitz, rapid 1700 which I can't believe :D
2k, rapid, 1850 blitz on lichess. Got 500 rating almost solely thanks to you. Thanks for that!
camera is the new character
Eric, there is a video game called King of the Bridge. You should get it (it's $3) and play it. I think you would enjoy it and it would give you some great content.
In fact, steam has SO SO many chess games. You could make a whole series of trying them out and seeing how hard the hardest difficultly is. When I was flying recently, the plane had a chess game on it. I was surprised at how easy the hard bot was. I think a series where you just try out chess bots on games could also be fun to watch.
I was wondering why you didn't go for the queen sack :) Great content Eric. You reignited my passion for chess!
Started playing in December and i just crossed 1000 elo! im really proud of the progress I've made, i just watch a ton of chess content and play every single day so thats how i was able to improve quickly
