I started of playing the danish gambit, and it was a week after i began playing chess. I was around 1000 rating, but the day after i was 700. Three weeks passed and i had been playing the danish on repeat, and my rating was 1530. To summarize you need to study with computors and get experience in those attacking situations.
Im been playing Busch-Gass gambit and Ross Gambit for like a month now and when it works, easy +8 elo. When it doesn't work... I pray that they run out of time.
That is the problem with chess as you go higher up. Its become a game of memorization and knowing the openness and gambits Thats why pieces should all be mixed up
and that's called "gambit" ... should not even worry about queen sac if going for real gambit .. but cares about pawn lol still nice though.. not acting smart or anything , i admit that i suck pretty much but Tal's Games just over entertained me, and kinda boring to see going for a pawn in a so called Gambit..
I like long term Gambits. So right now I'm letting all my friends beat me again and again and again and again. But it's all part of my 17 year gambit to slowly build their confidence then I'll strike
@Hewing Enterprise had a feelin Erics laid back laconic style would attract intelligent alert people,, Eric you should be proud the only thing I take issue with is" planet is dying" in my humble crazy opinion global warmin is a ruse dreamt up by the club of Rome and their illustrious conniving contemporaries in Council for Foreign Relations
@Hewing Enterprise People don't want to confront issues that make them uncomfortable. Unfortunately peoples reflex response is conspiracy theory a term coined by the CIA to discredit anyone making obvious points about the Kennedy cover up and the garbage that was the Warren report
HA, Eric! I for sure need some aggressive stuff added to my game, but this one is absolutely crazy! Not sure what was in the tea, you were drinking ... Your playing style is VERY inspiring to me! I love the Spanish, the London, the Slavs, the English ... all the slow maneuvering wood-pusher stuff ... but I would LUUUV to add some wild s**t against my regular opponents in the club, since they KNOW I prefer positional play. I juzz DON'T have the guts (or the knowledge) to play this kind of ... eeeeh ... madness ... your tactical (and selfconfidence about flagging) skills sure served you well here ... But the main thing is that you are sharing your CANDIDATE moves with us! Your thought processes ... elimination of possibilities ... contemplating opponent's next move ... going down 3 or 4 lines, and THEN decide upon the best option ... I have watched your videos for a year ... and will probably watch them for years to come!
I haven’t actually played chess in over 10 years and I stumbled upon this side of RUclips and I’m literally in love all over again. Thank you for the content :)
Eric put one sugar packet in his tea just to try it, now he's double dipping that raw, uncut honey live every day. Please come back to us Eric, your friends and family are praying for you
I love your stuff, Eric. Calming and precise chess. For other viewers, in the Halloween Gambit at 1:09:21 - the critical move here is actually d5 (Ne5, f4, Ng6, now e5, Ng8).
This was one of my favorites. 10 minute games are one of the best formats to watch you because we get more analysis. And watching you play gambits is much more fun than watching the London every game.
Wow, really impressive stuff. I followed along with several games with Stockfish running to see if/when you would make up the disadvantage. At several points, the computer spit out a quiet move that I think few would consider, and you immediately considered it. Also, several times your flurry of arrows exactly matched the computer evaluation.
i've been watching you lately, and you've become my favourite player. the fact that you play gambits for the fun instead of sticking to the solid and still gets great rartings, you are awesome.
When the opponent simply left the game, it illustrates how powerful it can be to just get someone out of their prep and force them to play chess. That guy imploded.
Hi Eric, no need to reply but want you to know I joined Twitch thanks to your excellent Videos here. Never stop these enjoyable contributions to your Y.T. Ch.

Thank you, I was literally questioning myself if the knight was hanging after bishop h3... Just because he didn't see it. (And I am not even talking about the fact that it's a free rook too)
one of your best video, loved it ,I liked the making of your gambit list and playing gambits one by one ,hope you will play all the remaining gambits in the next video,thanks for the video.
I just subscribed, cuz I realized I hadn't yet.. Been watching these chess n chats videos pretty consistently for over a week or two now...maybe one day I won't suck at chess! haha I jus gotta start playing again, and probly will soon

I took a screenshot of your Gambit list & tried playing them. I can proudly say that now im 200 elo points less on lichess
lol, every gambit i've ever tried has also ended horribly for me. my problem is i can't capitalize on lead in development to mount attacks.

I heard that comment in the style of that old song that said the higher you build your barrier the stronger I become.

ah yes, gambits. I have my own version of the King's Gambit, but instead of e4, e5, f4. I just sacrifice my king in the hope of mercy...

2:05:48 - Oh, that ending killed me. So sad... I too forgot about the bishop on a5.

A 2-hour video from you?
Amazing. What a way to start the week.
Greatest Sleeping Pill Ever! It's fun til I bed..
The next morning, I realize that my phone is dead...
Watching you is literally what got me into chess! Thank you! (From one nerd to another your nerdy jokes are freakin hilarious).
3:34 “no rush to take the pawn.... maybe i should’ve taken the pawn”😂😂
1:39:40 c4 ... c4 is a very good move. Someone hasn't been watching enough ben. c4 is more than just a good move, its explosive!
Gut wrenching finish, but such a good series of games. Thanks for all the quality vids.

You're yelling off gambits and I'm just sitting here thinking that pawns move forward and knights make L shapes...
These Gambit videos are amazing. I'm a beginner just playing the London for lack of any better idea and wishing I could play more like this.

Eric playing a 10 minute game: sipping a drink
Me playing a 10 minute game: Sweating profusely
Best streamer on RUclips hands down.
Your aggressiveness towards Alexa is slightly concerning
Literally nobody should be polite to alexa
First time i watched a 2 hours video in RUclips till the end, good content keep going
Wow, I was so mad that the second game was going to end on time, then you mates him with a few seconds left. That is so satisfying.
Wow. What a finish. Eric, how humble you are, honestly. Nobody saw that coming. (Who would leave a mean commrnt?)
Botez gambit jokes 😂 Brutal. You two were such an awesome team too!
Win connect 4 with 4 promoted pawns. Win chess. Great stuff eric
Can't wait to play the Don't-try-this-at-home-kids Gambit lmao, love the chess content Eric!
One of your previous videos got me hooked on the Halloween Gambit. So risky.
Hey Eric I love your channel and you improved my chess significantly
10:25 - The fact that he didn’t see Bxe4 physically hurt me
I was just going trough comments to check if i was only one who saw that move
Thank you, I was literally questioning myself if the knight was hanging after bishop h3... Just because he didn't see it. (And I am not even talking about the fact that it's a free rook too)
A kind of Kramnik moment. He's known for overlooking strong moves but surviving anyway.
Came to the comments to find this. That was the best move by miles. Guaranteed rook capture with a potentially discovered check.
Yep I came in comments as well to find this. Too much tea and talking
Your workflow is absolutely futuristic mate!
totally enjoy watching you guys test yourselves and fail occasionally. The path to excellence is paved in failure. I subbed.
24:19 Is it just me or could Eric have lost a rook here if black checks the king and forks the rooks.👀
I love your content Eric, keep it up!
one of your best video, loved it ,I liked the making of your gambit list and playing gambits one by one ,hope you will play all the remaining gambits in the next video,thanks for the video.
He check
He attack
but most importantly:
He Sac
4:50 props to the dude shoutin out the Jerome Gambit before it was a hot topic
great channel actually learning from it. keep up the good content...
30:21 that c3 pawn must be feeling the heat
Rosen: what does pls stand for
yeah so dry, so good
16:44 i said "god bless you" out loud alone in my room
I am not good at chess & want to get better. I really enjoy watching you. THANKS. KEEP IT UP MAN
Eric: Sac pawns and a piece, invents new gambit on the fly, crushes opponent with overwhelming force.
Also Eric, to opponent: "Tough game"
The finish at 35:30 was so beautiful
