    I counted 30 times you looked away from the screen. About half of them were to your lower right and half of them were to your upper left. Your eyes seem to mainly focus straight ahead , but your eyes ever so slightly transition off of the center sometimes without you looking in any other direction which makes me wonder if there is another screen/display in front of your main display. I know one is chat your reading, so that gives you an excuse to look away sometimes. At least 30 times you looked away from the screen though always between moves that were on short pause. I believe you are cheating 100% along with most of these other streamer guys. I could be wrong tho just my thoughts.

    It seems to be too hard for an attacker to break in, at least at lower ratings.

    The hippo is one of the planets most dangerous mammals, responsible for up to 3000 deaths annually the hippo possesses an unparalleled bite and a land speed of 30 mph (48 kph) the hippo is able to chase down prey through a combination of speed, strength, and surprise. The hippo should be honored to have Eric opt to champion their species, as from what I have seen, Eric would easily beat a hippo in a fight. One time I was exploring the wooded rivers around calagary on my pontoon when I peered into the woods, only to the original chessbrah himself. In awe, I pull my pontoon closer, close enough I can hear him loudly panting looking straight at, I hear him say “Let’s give him a little dad-bod shuffle ay?” In my confusion I became paralyzed, as Eric gets down on all fours, and launches out into a hound-like sprint of which the world had never seen, I pull a J-turn in my boat and dart the other direction. My pontoon is fast, Eric is faster. Able to run on the surface of the water like a basilisk chasing after me. Begin throwing things off the boat at him to lighten the load and slow him down, but he effortlessly destroys everything in his way. He gets up right on the boat and I drop my 100”-150” awol wallmounted flatscreen tv directly onto him. Finally he is forced to submerge, but under the water I see him paddling, like a platypus out of hell Eric is able to swiftly glide under the water. My pontoon jolts to a stop, the engine still fighting to flee. I hear scraping, tearing coming from the lower haul on the starboard side, chunks of metal begin floating up from beneath the surface. At this point I know it’s over, Eric crawls onto the upper deck, where his bones crackle as he stands on his two feet. He looks at me and he says “let’s bring all the pieces to the party” as he cartoonishly unhinges his jaw and consumes me whole. All in all he really ruined the serene beauty of remote Alberta, don’t support these guys.

    I'm so glad u made this video to the true hippo and I have tears in my eyes for in 1977 I did move the pawns like this but put the bishops in the middle which I called the jbird or the bishop n knight that I call the knight bird or the queen an knight which I call the knight queen or the queen an bishop I call the Donna bird an the whole intent is to move your pieces in through this way is my theory since 1977 which I did on my own and from what Jay said back then there was no bishops in middle that he said he researched but only the knights this is the second video of yours I ever saw an I like it❤😊
