Currently sacrificing 40 minutes of my work day. Im playing the Job Gambit
And what will be your compensation if you lose the gig?
Gaining time and initiative
same!
Can confirm it’s quite a dubious gambit
@@davidanderson_surrey_bc A lot of spare time. 😂
"this brings me back to uh, what, episode 1 or 2?" someone call an ambulance for that BURN
Eric, this speedrun series has helped my chess more than anything else. It really helped me to hear you walk through your thought process when you were playing against lower elo opponents, because you taught me that I don't have to waste time looking for crazy tricky ideas at that level. I could just play solidly and logically, and come out ahead. You literally raised my elo by ~200 points, so thanks for that.
I cant wait for the eventual "Oh no my winstreak!" speedrun title
"they found you amusing for a while, the people of this city. But the one thing they love more than a hero is to see a hero fail, fall, die trying"
-green goblin
Yeah I don't wanna wait either. I don't want that to happen
Betterhelp should not miss their chance to be a sponsor there 🙃
Dont hold your breath
In the first game, Eric says “do I play Italian or the Ponziani? Well, my opponent has piano in his name…” and I think to myself “oh so of course he’ll play the Giuoco Piano” and then Eric is like “let’s play the Ponziani, it’s probably an anagram of piano in there”
Same
he doesn't want to play into his opponent's hand of course!
Ánd his opponent was from Italy.
The better help intro has me screaming
Hey Eric, I've watched every single speedrun video (and every single main channel video and most of the alt channels'...) Your content is such a good way to learn and relax. Also, better help is known for being a pretty scummy company, their promises of a therapist you can "text anytime" are completely blown out of proportion, they bill patients heavily and if they mischarge you (which they have people I know) it's quite difficult to get your money back (something that's especially difficult for their clientele who is already struggling). Therapy is an amazing resource for many people but better help abuses that to make a quick buck with "professionals" that don't know what they're doing and billing that wants to take as much money out of the pocket of the vulnerable as possible
Finally a new Episode, more please !!
Congrats on 100 wins. You always make it look so easy. I'm 43 and I want to be like you when I grow up.
2nd guy was comedian playing that opening on this level
My guy has a pikachu hat and, judging by his nickname, he's almost 60 years old 😂
On this level? 1300 is not a good level 😂😂
Hikaru the madman played it in classical games back in the day. There's also one GM who wrote whole book about it and says it's a good opening, Bernard Parham.
I can see his logic though. 1300s aren't used to playing against it so I reckon he gets a decent number of cheap wins just from opening blunders.
@@mattyday90 1300 is better than like 95% of chess players
Gotta say, that first 1300 played REALLY well. Definitely underrated
Bro he played like he knew what he was doing the entire time. Crazy considering how rare ponziani is
Great episode as always.. So informative. One of the great parts of the speedrun is that you play the same openings and defences as people typical of that rating level versus springing ideas that nobody that level will typically play. That's I think one of the things that makes this so accessible for people to learn from. Thankyou!
I think what makes this series great is that he DOESN’T try pretend to play like a person at that rating level. Solid, principled chess, but no mercy either, showing us all the most principled and effective moves in any given situation, which really shows what to do and what not to do. He doesn’t shy away from springing a deadly trap when an opponent leaves an opening. It isn’t instructive when a chess youtuber says “this leaves them open to x, but someone at 1300 wouldn’t know that, so I’ll play the most common response at this level…”. Those are a dime a dozen on YT, but that doesn’t help us. Showing us the best moves, principles, tactics, strategies for the position are what helps us all get better.
@@MrOffTrail I'd say he mostly plays the opening moves similar to people at that level, but not always; hardly anyone plays delayed Alapins against Sicilians or Steinitz against Ruys, for instance. But after the opening, he just plays what he thinks is the best move, regardless of how intricate the calculations get.
“this leaves them open to x, but someone at 1300 wouldn’t know that, so I’ll play the most common response at this level…”
I haven't checked out that many Chess RUclipsrs, but there are actually people who do that? That seems extremely handicapping and tiresome. Like what if blundering is literally the most common response in a position? How do you even win a game, just play "common" moves without blundering?
Thanks for this series Eric, your calm analysis of numerous different positions helps me keep composure in my personal games! Keep doing what you do :)
Awesome video! Love how you approach the game so calmly and explain all of your moves in a concise way. Very educational and entertaining!
This series is outstanding. Thank you, Eric!
thanks for all the videos Eric, it's so great to watch you playing
I love the speedrunning series. Seeing how a high rated player approaches players closer to my level is so informative. It’s making me feel like I should learn the ponziani
Absolutely in love with this series with you! and the slightly longer episode is absolutely welcomed!
amazing moves in the first game. I liked the way you utilizes the rooks effectively despite not having the queen after trading with the opponent's one
Excellent as always in this series - really enjoyable and instructive. Thank you so much.
great again! happy 100 keep them coming please! Love your calm manner and tone of voice...so relaxing...
30 episodes! I finally caught up. I have learned so much these last couple of weeks watching your climb. I never heard of overworked pieces before, or attracting a piece. I think just having names for these concepts makes these tactics so much easier to spot. Thank you!
Good thing that your queen isn't restricted to moving like a king (for future people at the time this video was posted eric was playing drawback chess and had the drag drawback, meaning that the queen can only move one square and you lose if it is captured.
Good thing he could move to the 4 outside files (for future people, this video was posted as Eric was playing Drawback Chess and his opponent (me) could only play non-capture moves in the 4 center files) xD
So happy game #100 was a Ponziani! It has become my favorite opening after watching your videos, so for me it was a perfect 100 game special! Love these series!
Becoming my favorite opening too !
The ponziani is my favorite chess opening!
24:41 F5 saves the knight. The only move to keep advantage is to take the knight with the rook and then you're just up a pawn in the best line at ~1.2
These 40 minutes make every day so much better, and they help me learn so much about the game. Thank you for being so educational in this series (and always!)
Unexpected challenge haha, thanks for the videos Eric!
This is the most insightful chess learning experience I’ve had and has rekindled my love of the game. To top it off - I have actually gotten better! Thank you Eric for your wise words of wisdom, you’re a star! Keep ‘em coming :)
Eric, you’re the best!! Thank you so much for these videos. A breath of fresh air. 🫶
Another entertaining series of games. Thank you
Watched all 100 matches, some of them twice.
Love hearing the thought process, mixed with the in-depth chess theory, as every game progresses.
Keep 'em coming!
This most instructive awesome chess channel on RUclips, as observed from an 1800.
Great series. Keep it up, Eric!
Great series. Really enjoying it.
Enjoying this speedrun! Eric, would you consider playing the scotch in one of these episodes? I want to learn it, and it'd be helpful to see more games of it in my rating range. Thanks!
Ponziani at the Pinnacle with the trappy line which Eric taught back in the Ponziani videos feels so satisfying. Always good to see an application of the theory :)
I really enjoy watching your videos purely for the explanation and thought process of all your moves. I’ve watched the whole series thus far. Some videos more than once. Once you’ve reached master please do another speed run series.
You are one of my favorite youtubers period. And this series is as fun as it is also beneficial. Thank you 😊
Note: please avoid betterhelp in the future. It is an awful horrible company.
Eric: Do I go for an Italian or a Ponziani? Opponent's name has "piano" in it.
Me: So you're going for the Giuoco Piano, right?
Eric: Maybe "Ponziani" can be anagrammed into "piano" in some way.
Yes I thought exactly that! Time to brush up on your Italian maybe Mr Rosen? Anyway, thanks for all the great chess
I thought that an opponent from Italy with piano in their name probably wants the Italian, so don't let them have it.
"Piano zini"?
Ponziano
You taught me the Ponziani and it's helped me punch above my weight and boost my rating. Thanks!
Well done. Happy 100th!
This series continues to be awesome.
"There's a hair in my mouth. Unexpected challenge." Gold!
Awesome Ponziani! This is my favorite chess series of all time.
You have made me a ponziani convert. Love the lines. Has won me quite a few games, thank you!
Eric is the best chess streamer fr
NOT ME LITERALLY SAYING TO MYSELF 10 MINUTES AGO "man, it'd be awesome if there was a new speed run episode to watch tonight. Probably not though."
and here I am LETS GO BABYYYY!
Made my day
Thanks!
Thanks so much!
Such an epic 100th game! Been watching those Ponziani videos and was hoping so much that he would’ve allowed the line where you get a second queen
I’ve played the Ponziani pretty religiously over the last few months. I have yet to get anyone in that Bg5 trap. But then again I’ve been playing mostly blitz so I’ll try my luck more in rapid. Nice speed run!
100 wins 🎉🎉🎉🎉
congratulations, Eric
Awesome ending Eric :)
That 100th game was incredible haha, quite entertaining to watch !
"This speedrun will not be ending anytime soon" 😊😃😊🙏🎉
Congratulations on 100 games without loss!
Yes!
Congratulations
25:12 I think there's f5 counterattacking the bishop
But then PxP, and if RxP, Kg7 protects.
@@konroh2 f5, gxf5, Rxf5, Bxf5. Rook for a bishop is a good trade so that doesn’t work.
@@konroh2 if gxf5 then Nxf5 and the knight gets out
@@joohoo2053 You're right, looks like opponent didn't have to lose that way.
Best things of speed run is you explain purpose of your move as well as opponent each and every move. That's how a begginer should learn❤
I would encourage you to read up on Betterhelp's practices.
I'm finally caught up on the series! Started watching on February 12th, when I was around 550 and, this week, I got into the 800's (currently winning and losing just enough to stay around 800). Even tho I played chess all my life, this year I fell in love again with the game and started playing every day, realizing that I'm so baaaaad hahaha. This series has been helping me a lot, the way you talk about your thoughts, calmly explaining every detail, possibility and move, is amazing, incredibly insightful and easy to follow. Even tho the games are getting on a level superior to mine, I feel like I'm still learning a lot. Thank you so much Eric! If possible, please come back to lower ratings one day, I feel that you have a lot more to teach us on those ratings (sorry for any typos, still working on my english) 😁😁
nice double sponser right there
Eric makes even the ad watchable wow, as a future psychologist wannabe its content makes me content as well:)
Congratulations on the 100 winstreak, Eric! Now it's 100 wins, but soon enough it will be 100 episodes on the series :)
On that last fork I saw it and was wondering why it didn't work. Glad you addressed it
Wahahahaha loved the whole video but the end really made me laugh!!!
Congratulation 100 wins🎉
36:04 Qa8+ Kh7 Qe4+ wins the rook here. Look for checks and loose pieces. I expect Eric knows that! 😂
Finally!!!
Congrats on 100.
Good stuff.
We want more episodes dayly 🙏🙏
The unexpected challenge at the end 😂
As I find old videos and try to learn Ponziani lines, you give all these speedrun refreshers of what NOT to do as black. 😂😂😂
Thank u :)
It's SO satisfying when you play an opening and plays every move that they shouldn't. I'm not sure if the Ponziani has a more lethal sequence of moves than this one?
I've been having a lot of fun playing it at my very low ELO, although a surprising amount of players go for d5 after I play c3.
Congrats on 100--0-0
Getting close to my peak rapid rating now and I must say I'm finding the opponents seem to lack theory but can be very resourceful at these levels
17:04 Lmao this was savage
I’m gonna be so bummed when this series ends.
eric ur the goat and u have the best name too
Very nice tshirt eric
I wonder if your second opponent is a fan of IM Miodrag Perunovic, the wayward queen attack/“patzer’s opening” is a pet line of his.
Love these. How far do you think you’ll go? 2200? Or until you lose three in a row?
Love it, thanks for the content. I think I saw a tactic! At 36:14 he could have played Qa8+, Kh7, Qe4+ winning the rook
Lol he played it next move, I spoke too soon.
give me your heart!
...is this a threat?
lol
Congratulations on reaching this milestone, even if your opponents are still well beneath your true ranking.
Haha the unexpected challenge
Great episode as always. Advertise with whoever floats tkur boat. Your viewers are sophisticated consumers.
I wish you'd upload daily. I always feel sad when I go and look for a new video and there's none.
Dr. Rosen, breathing new life into the Ponziani: It's alive!!
He's not actually a doctor, or is he?
@@FluxXx7789 To the best of my knowledge no accredited US institution currently offers a Ph. D. in chess. However, I believe that oversight is on the verge of changing, as more and more people accept that the discipline and time of study necessary to become an internationally titled player is the equivalent of any Ph. D. in the humanities, or even the sciences (tho to be honest I know less about the requirement for an advanced degree in the sciences). However, the actual title of 'Doctor" is still controversial. For ex.: a lawyer with a Doctorate of Law after 3 years of study beyond the Bachelor's Degree is not entitled to be called 'Doctor', unless there is something extra, like a Master's Degree in a related field. It is my opinion that Eric is deserving of an honorary degree, based on the seriousness of his commitment and the time and energy spent gaining his current level.
Talking of Piano, I call the Italian the Guicco Piano.
“It will not be ending any time soon”. I am looking forward to your first loss in this run. I am curious if it will be a time crunch slip or a blunder or just some incredible upset. Thanks for the chess and good luck!
8:33 What if Opponent goes f3!! notheless (always play f3 !)
You lose a piece if you trade queens, so is that just QD3 and you have a nice ubrella black pawn on g2 ?
You were clapping these guys gg
Eric is so nice he should just BUY OUT better help. *Eric’ll Help*
‘I may not be a licensed therapist but I am an IM’
What about king's safety at 15:45 if black moves f3?
These videos are so great. If I could give one piece of feedback could we possibly make the board bigger and the camera smaller? The board is so small on my phone screen 😭 love the videos though you have helped me improve so much
watch it on a computer then?
In the second game, can white not take the H pawn with knight? I was surprised Eric didn't mention this move, attacking the rook and defending the knight with the other rook, winning a pawn
