      @Belinera 2 года назад +71

      It's probably just a brain thing misinterpreting patterns. Generally in positions in which people allow you to take that pawn, the bishop's defending the knight, so the rook moves with tempo on the queen, maybe the queen gets trapped, and so on.
      But what really happened is the opponent was acting on principle of not ever giving Eric his gambit. If you can take a Rook with check against Eric, look for some other move that doesn't take free material!

    I loved the game where was just pawn moves. I'm always so scared to lose on not developing correctly.

      There is some chess content showing famous "10+/many pawns only moves" games :) - recommend it - these are really some interesting games - later you only need to develop with tempo :)

    The Smith Morra where you gambit-ed your bishop was a really beautiful game.

    Eric you are definitely the most entertaining chess streamer and content creator when you're playing like this. It shows your humanity and charisma, but also what a creative beast you are. It's trippy and exhilarating at times. You have the same competitive nature and informative/direct temperament that I do, yet it still blows my mind that you talk joke, commentate, and draw arrows in what has turned chess into an APM sweaty game. I believe that you shape the things you do to fit your interest, rather than letting their general essence define you. I suspect there are very few things suppressing your ability to do this at the highest level, but I relate if you feel apprehensive to sacrifice this joyous freedom to work to do so. Anyway, I hope you become a GM, or get whatever you want in this world, because you're awesome.

    English opening wing gambit - you had a smother mate when opponent played the rook's pawn to frighten your knight. This literally occurred immediately after you were envisioning smother mate. I will blunder six times minimum, since I am not good.
    I really enjoy your gambit material

    Made it to the end. Great games. Favorite gambit would probably be the one that you moved only pawns for the first 13 moves lol

    I love all these gambit victories and watching Eric win, but I also got really excited when he started losing all his pieces in the late game near the end because that means it's time for a funny stalemate.
