    Watching your game at 3hr 10min, and I have one thing to say: Dear Eric. I watch a lot of RUclips chess (I’m old and don’t watch streaming. Sorry, I guess?) and you always have the most MENTAL positions.
    You know how you watch some footy or tennis and be like “man those lads are good”. That’s what’s it’s like for us plebs.
    Yourself, Levy, Bartholomew, Finegold, Chessbrahs, Sir Lord Ginger of house Williams…. (Tbh the folk I watch most) No you’re not Magnus. You might care, you may not.
    On behalf of the silent majority who don’t comment, we don’t care either. All we want to see is something that blows our minds and is awesome to watch. No matter what those loud minorities say, it’s a bloody good show, every bloody time 👌🏻

    Oh, the last game was so tense. Zhigalko wanted the draw because Chessar was 5 points away from him. Would have meant the victory. If Chessar'd won and he lost, they would have had the same amount... However, in the last minute some points were restored (cheater) which got you 3, Chessar 8 but Zhigalko only 7 points. Chessar needed only 4 points to equalize! Didn't matter since Zhigalko won against you though...

    @uno-theofficialcardgame2210 Год назад

    I think they should do a year long blitz tournament with no rating limit or limit to who you could play (a 600 could be paired against a 2200) and the whole point is that you play till you lose. After you lose you are kicked from the tournament for the rest of the month you lost in and your win streak is posted on a leaderboard and at the end of the year the people with the top 10 longest win streaks for the year play a big tournament with major cash prizes. I feel like it would definitely draw attention to the game and make a fun challenge for pros to do their best to not be rated more than their opponents, but rather play smarter than their opponents

    @Kurayami_mujou Год назад

    I just wanted to chime in. I noticed that at around 3:16. White had Bxc7 because you can't play Qxc7 or else Qxb4. White would win a pawn and threaten discovery on black's queen with an exchange of the dark squared bishops. Did you miss that or was it some sort of gambit that I'm missing? I thought that I might be crazy so I checked an engine and it does appear that white's best move would have been Bxc7.

    • @Kurayami_mujou

    1:08:25 I wonder why Eric decided to take with queen and then with knight preserving the knight and not vice versa. Does anybody know?

      Because then white is not obligated to take. The knight would be just pinned to the queen and could be easily attacked by f pawn

    Genuinely don’t understand the decision to berserk almost every game at the end. I know 5 points is better than 4 but 4 is much better than 0 😕
