Play the Caro-Kann Against EVERYTHING | 600-800

[@Truffle_Pup]

"I'm gna play with my Bishop. At 1am you can't blame a guy for playing with his Bishop" - GM Eric Hansen.

[@iakuraa]

Love how he still explains what he's doing even at around 600-800 showing he wants to actually provide education.

[@gregjohnston5845]

Probably most of the viewers are in that range so it makes sense

[@Moltzenn]

Wow its almost like he was explaining like it was the purpose of the video. Great observation 👏

[@mateah83]

​@@MoltzennHe might be referring to the fact that there are lots of games in other speedruns where Eric plays with little to no commentary and those are not as educational for beginners. To me at least (who's not streaming their content) it seems like they have decided to up their educational game and make it just a tad more structured while still being enjoyable to watch even if you're not watching to improve.

[@siddharthrajput4031]

can you please explain the story behind the name pooja

[@tomartopi-ite]

@@siddharthrajput4031 I gotchu bro, in one of the chessbrahs earlier videos, eric plays against someone called pooja, an untitled 1900, who completley destroyed him, and then pooja was banned straight after for cheating,

[@ericiceshard5769]

Finally a series especially made for me. I play c6 against everything for years now. Thanks Eric.

[@redhood07093]

These speed run playlists are the best way to learn openings. The previous Hippo and London speed runs helped me gain 200 elo. Thank you so much Eric and Aman!

[@edwin-jq4dp]

I too have 200 ELO after the Hippo speedrun

34:50 "If you're a 700 don't respect other 700's, play the game out, don't resign. And don't let your clock run out, you have better things to do." - Based

[@Neura1net]

Nice. Speedruns are so much fun to watch

[@Griffdogg169]

"At 1 a.m. you can't blame a guy for playing with his bishop."

[@EliasOwnage95]

The way you talk while playing is actually very educational, literally dumbing down and explaining while you're actually just casually talking

[@artdre1881]

Thank you very much for this speed run. I`m c6 player myself so I see a lot of useful ideas already and of course I am looking froward to see how better players will challenge you latter in the run.

[@zachmorgan6982]

16:15 A BEAUT OF A MATING NET MATE. You're quite cheeky you are Good sir

[@rayclay2]

that was awesome . so fun and instructional~! eric what a great brah~!

[@GeminisArising888]

Eric, i been watching Alex Banzeas Caro Kann speed run (which doesnt look like a speed run at all)...he takes the bishop with his bishop and thats what i did with not so good results but when ur opponent takes ur knight instead of your bishop,,,,,,,and i did the same...i have WON ALL THE GAMES played since yesterday. also its Amans rules Pawns,knights,bishops,rooks,queen for the captures in that order. Your Caro Kann is slaying opponents and thank you for coming out with the series. Wow.

[@AndrewSlee9]

5:00 "nobody's getting laid off" lmao

[@TSUKUNORI-]

Bahhahahahah same reaction 😂😂

[@Miguel-pv2yv]

Very high quality explanations. Thank you

[@jacobshroyer2420]

Thank you for making these. I really appreciate it.

[@jmpompey1]

@10:30 could you not have taken the knight on c3 with your rook, then his rook would take, but then pushing the pawn to e4 attacking the queen would open a discovered attack on the rook? edit: nvm doesn't work...

[@Khattabaljahwari]

keep moving i love these series i learn so much things thanks Eric 😘

I love the username in memory of pooja

[@ReDsOxFaN4LiFe1]

26:10 straight up i thought chat was right. 600 elo brain.

[@Coffee_Is_Life_2010]

if anyone is wondering, Pooja cheated against Eric on stream and instantly got her account banned.

[@Martin_Edmondson]

#FreePooja!

[@REBTellis]

24:20 looking so good

[@machatambi]

Hey guys your last 2 uploads are unavailable. Not sure if that was intentional. Loving the content as usual.👍

[@ybloc1428]

52:39 you both start with 8 in a row, meaning you have at least 5 connect 4s in pawns lol

[@rayclay2]

a blunder and a half~! cracked me up.~!!

[@garrett6076]

I think maybe the coolest thing about the Caro-Kann is that is sounds like a badass Ninja move, if you say it with the right accent

[@LFSPharaoh]

I laugh way too hard at SNIP 😂

[@michaels775]

Eric definitely wins most Canadian accent on Chessbrah

[@matthew_cramer]

these speedruns are the reason my opponent and I play with 91% accuracy at 1,000 elo lol

[@ybloc1428]

Please keep making openings speedrun videos!

[@TheHelmShow]

How do you always get the black pieces?

[@harrylenton9984]

the mind of a 600 😂

[@pieterdenhertog288]

Looking forward to these speedruns with higher Elo's Eric

[@wrathofpunjabi]

A lot more educational than play with Titled players! Thanks a lot!

[@CsZack]

U should make more series like that

[@tomask8304]

check their playlists, they've been doing speedruns for years

[@jakethemuss8081]

Awesome series!

[@BrianStern22]

I didn't get why the guy was banned? Can someone explain?

[@apin7108]

this channel always doing speedrun with real chess talk, it is so helpful for beginners and intermediate, so different with half japanese guy 😅

[@rob1hood]

45:17 rook f2#mate! ban me

[@CoryCarnahan-uy6xt]

What’s the opening song?

[@johnnysack3671]

@chessbrah I fully respect playing a game out and not letting my clock run out, however at ~35 minutes, you had mate in 1 and proceeded to push your pawn 5 times, I think thats equally as disrespectful, deeming a clock run out as completely acceptable. Thoughts?

[@Aldehyd23]

Does anybody know the song's title at 4:07 - 5:56? Shazam does not collaborate :)

[@lucaxtshotting2378]

5:00 the rook is not really contributing no?

[@lucaxtshotting2378]

oh nevemrind it's actually covering d6

[@siddharthrajput4031]

can someone please explain the story behind the name pooja

[@ItIsYouAreNotYour]

How long was that guy who asked to be banned, banned for?

[@loic5073]

First song title please ?

[@hodlr]

People watching chessbrah and didn't know who Pooja is😅

[@hodlr]

@@Raulsta1985 only one mistake, ty mate😉

[@jw41538]

divide the speedrun in two for twice as much content

[@hypekillacsplaya]

lets go c6 against everything!

[@shanehudson88]

Hey Eric, where the heck is the next video!!!

[@lukas9189]

Could you consider changing background of the board to wooden like? Hate this green and white one.

[@4will3]

whats the damn song intro

[@sunondo8671]

Can we get an Italian game Speedrun?

[@travisnobleart]

Love how you're talking to your opponent even though he can't hear you. It would be nice if chess sites could include optional audio connection for this type of instruction.

[@godkingcthulhu138]

[@salemtv5808]

what i don’t understand is that while eric is the top canadian chess player and ranked top 170 player in the world and easily will someday win the world championship why is he slow rolling his 700 opponents and make a big dramatic scene moving the pieces slowly as he delivers check mates!!! also his exaggerated surprise every time they blunder i mean dude you’re 167 over seven billion donu expect low rated player not to blunder!!!

[@BlancheCarter]

Cause it makes it more entertaining? And slow cause he wants everyone from the live stream chat to be able to think for themselves what move they would play.

[@yodamaged2703]

​@@BlancheCarterAccurate

[@chadf121]

Don’t support these guys.

[@skylarvincent3190]

If anyone is interested in explaining I, too, am wondering: Why do top-rated players play people in the 600''s? Are they starting at 0 and seeing how fast they can level up? And does that mean, at any given time while in a Rapid match, anyone, at any time, could be a pro? If they are doing it for education, then why not stream an equal match?

[@salemtv5808]

@@chadf121 what do u mean

[@yvesdakempo1]

I'm 200 elo, and when i try to use caro kann i always messed up when my 200's elo opponent does some kind of random crazy position 🥲 while Eric's playing seems simple and easy 😂
