    Watched the whole thing, in intervals over a handful of days. At breakfast, on the treadmill, during work breaks… There’s a mystical peacefulness about it. There’s a story, variety, drama, victories, defeats, coffee, but always relatability, empathy, humility, and the inevitable residue of learning.

    That first game low-key so instructive... two removing the defender tactics to win a piece, then the game. Eric uses the ideas quite naturally without explaining, but those are the underrated foundational skills it takes to level up. Nicely done.

    good overview, a lot of traps and a super fast endgame - and a very strong and fun gameplay. the most boring aspect of chess is a complicated mid game with no action, but in your games there is no such thing. it makes fun to see a unexpected move from the opponent before you and listen to your explanations for all the over moves XD
