GM Hansen's Hippo Speedrun | Part 10

[@animeup1412]

23:30 The inner speeddemon came out, what a save haha

[@facadeESEA]

4:59 I think its funny that the guy didn't even actually save his queen

[@MatsMatsuo]

in fact, he made an even worse decision by putting it on square it was undefended, not that it matters since any queen move would be m1, but i don't think you can make an uglier move than that one lmao

[@timcannon5384]

Wow the hippo speedrun never disappoints!

[@uberwaltigendetrivialitat2880]

im not even big into chess content but this series is what im looking forrward to the most.

[@VerfRS]

Absolutely destroying opponents at the start haha

Verf is perhaps one of the last people I expected to run into watching a chessbrah video, gl on the hill giant grind my guy. Hope Skotizo is nice to you soon, 400k giants is a hell of a grind

Can't get enough of this speed run! I'm hanging for the next episode every single week

[@johnmahugu]

28:00 i like your new opening "half hippo" i think i am going to try it everytime someone fianchettos their king bizhop

[@TheVictoryHawk]

He is just tearing them up to start this episode lmao, offering less resistance than the lower elos

[@suryasuresh533]

yo Eric cause of you i got to 1100 blitz rating from like the mid 900s with this opening. Love this series my man

[@bernardthefourth]

Sick wins. That last checkmate was unreal. I'm playing this at blitz 300 level and getting rage quits and blunders all day.

[@johnmahugu]

I love it, i have really improved on chess especially after watching your series. i am so killing them.

[@minophilic6577]

freaking great timing, I just opened the home page after finishing part 9. Good work brah.

[@EvertfromNederland]

I should be able to see that against the higher elo's the Hippo starts to show flaws, but i can't pinpoint what it is excactly what these higher elo's do differently (apart from NOT hanging their bishops on move 4 along side the diagonal) If possible Eric, can you do a follow up video on what it is these opponents do better than the lower ranked ones?

[@KF1]

he mentioned that the opponents are more aggressive and more likely to claim space in the center. Seems about the same tho

[@JW-qd3ol]

These Hippo runs are always bangers!!! I love it

[@Omar_Merican]

what's the two music playlists when eric plays the hippo speedrun and aman playing the english speedrun? LOVE THE TUNES!

[@MatsMatsuo]

1700-1900 elo hell once again proving to be real, i'm glad i'm a outta of this rating

Thanks to you I got to 1200 Elo, just playing the hippo

Same! Used to be 1700

@@oskarholm9351 hahahaha

[@hueycotton]

10:11 I was happy to have seen the move. Lowkey I didn't even realize she was trapped, I just knew the knight would be safe on e6 and it would force the queen to move, allowing you to win the g pawn. I would have played it then been shocked at what I did lol

[@arturuss417]

47:00 any romanians willing to enrich our cursing vocabulary?

[@natehopperphotography]

Wondering the same thing lol

[@LitCactus]

it isn't a hippo speedrun video if Eric doesn't miss a hanging piece

[@ilkinacca9957]

@16:52 when the player moved the knight to e4 why he didn't take with the bishop but instead moved the pawn to h4?

[@ilkinacca9957]

* pawn to h5

[@zex_1v1lol13]

​@@ilkinacca9957 he was looking for a mating pattern. By pushing the pawn to h5 he is threatening an attack on the rook and restricting the king from moving anywhere. It's better to win a rook than a knight

saw the queen trap before u. Made my day edit: and c5 too. Made my week already just climbed 100 points in bullet via hippo, love your speedrun

the guy playing the kid pushing e5 like theres a pawn break got me laughing

[@GeminisArising302]

Eric ,of all the hippo speedruns, this was one was the most vicious gameplay seen by yourself. U r gobbling down the players as if they were 400 elo. I see the hippo.....i like...i try....i get screwed....the trick is to unleash the kings side fearlessly without cover.....u pawn n peice storm n they dont expect that or are not used to this kind of insanity.....i wish u could do the hippo against eric,aman, gotham chess,hikaru

[@SnazzyTaylor]

I still find it crazy that chessbrah hasn't grown as much as the rest of chess youtube during this chess boom and I wonder how related it is to the Hikaru copyright claims

[@KF1]

what was the copyright claim?

[@SnazzyTaylor]

@@KF1 There are videos where Eric talks about it but basically during the drama in last couple years people associated with Hikaru went and reported Chessbrah videos that used Hikaru footage for copyright infringement and the chessbrah channel received copyright strikes

[@KF1]

@@SnazzyTaylor oh, never knew about that. I can't watch Hikaru because he gives me wicked fingernails on a chalkboard feeling, and only recently getting into the chessbrah stuff.

[@cptnoremac]

20:48 I can't believe you played d5 here. Bxd5 is an instant reply even for a 1700.

[@cptnoremac]

Wow. And then instead of the obvious Rh6 at 22:16, he just went check happy and gave up a rook. What's the deal with that?

[@zex_1v1lol13]

​ he's playing people way weaker than him. He's not going to always be looking for the best moves. He's playing on instinct

MERCI infiniment pour vos vidéos

[@user-hi3ke6qh7q]

Gregory was using a bot and then started playing on his own later. Some obvious moves were too delayed.

[@samdajani2573]

In Romanian, ‘pişatul’ means ‘the wee’ .. bit crude, like .. and ‘dracului’ is somethin’ to do with ‘the devil.’ Put it together, and you’ve got somethin’ like ‘the devil’s piss,’ right? It’s the kinda thing someone might say if they’re annoyed or tryin’ to be a bit cheeky.

[@EddieCrayMarshmallow]

I've actually been browsing comments for the translation since I don't know how it's spelled. What did he say?

[@RockClimberAlex]

@@EddieCrayMarshmallow It's spelled "pişatul dracului".

[@sebbefalt]

God bless you Eric

[@r.brandt2246]

Anyone who knows Romanian know what he said at 47:00?

[@knightboy003]

basically means He's mad. or asking Eric if he's mad. could go both ways

[@theimpact9648]

The guy said "pisatul dracului", which Eric did not read accurately (but since he's not romanian, that's absolutely normal). The translation word by word would be "pee of the devil". In romanian, though, they're swear words that are similar in meaning with something like "lucky bastard"

[@hi9313]

Seeing Eric getting through by the skin of his teeth against 1700s really puts it into perspective just how easy it is to play against the hippo at higher elos. Humble non GMs realllly going to struggle with this opening.

Hate to be that guy, but you missed a free rook 23:11

it has to be one of the most embarrassing things in the world to try to correct someone and be straight up wrong. Calculate properly next time, bozo. No free rook. I love being the guy that corrects guys like you, though. Lmao

Why are your's opponents so blundered? My opponens plays over 80-90% accuracy in 1200-1500 and almost not blundered. Why?

[@LostinMango]

Because he plays tactics.

[@brandonovich6063]

He's always making progress, always making it complicated and tactical. It's very hard to play accurately when you're under attack by such precise play

[@PulSartFN]

Because against someone with the same rating you're gonna play kind of accurately Probably that your moves aren't challenging enough for 1400, which is ok you're just at your rank

[@reidluttrell3034]

1. You're not finding all the blunders 2. You're not making moves that are challenging your opponents as much compared to him
