I love the speedrun conten, 'cause I can learn more deeply about openings 👀

[@JiveDadson]

That's a much better board than the one with the wood grain. Can you talk the other guys into using it?

[@razorrook218]

28:30 damn that game was surgical precision

[@XVRMEDIA]

I would have lifted the e rook and eat the pawn while I’m at it 😆😆😆

[@buntipapu3816]

Can you please do a Colle-Zukertot speed run?

[@BienenChef]

14:20 Freakazoid we hawt vibes lol

[@thetransferaccount4586]

[@carmenconry4227]

[@jaroslavserbus2331]

Hi Eric, would it be good to play in 3:58 knight to g6?

[@heroname1]

How did user_01 blunder his rook? insane

[@basdfgwe]

Can you do a bird vs stonewall ?

[@hohohomerrykenobi1437]

There is already a stonewall Speedrun by Aman if u want to compare the two openings

[@rom5457]

Your opponents gain back elo right ?

[@agentmbca]

Yes

[@razorrook218]

13:05 opponent survives by playing Qe6+ and picks up your Bisbob on d6

[@lucasmatsuoca]

it doesnt survive, Qe6+, Rf7, Qxd6, Qg3+, If Kh1 is easy mate or huge win of material and if Kg1, more accurate, i Think just Rf6. Threatning Rg6, F5 maybe can prevent it but then it allows Ng5 Nxh3 ideas. White loses no matter what, but I guess Qe6 forced black to be more accurate

[@lucasmatsuoca]

i checked with the engine, and I was almost correct, but Rf6 is not the most accurate idea, althoug the engine still gives -6 and huge win of material, I missed the even stronger Ng5 immediately because the f4 is pinned backwards due to the white's queen being on d6. Very fun position to practice board vision and calculation, thanks for the move suggestion.
