38:00 out of the pin but in to the skewer!

[@JiveDadson]

Very friendly chess board. Much easier on the eyes than the woodgrain.

[@floridaman6982]

Dude im just now noticing how he named the speedrun accout…. POOJAFAN69 😂. What a throwback

[@Ceno-2k]

whats the reference? is it just a cricket player or is there more? idk cricket

[@floridaman6982]

@@Ceno-2k like 3 months ago there was a girl cheating and he was chatting with her and asking her autograph and stuff like that. She was pretty funny about it and it was really obvious (and named pooja)

2:51:00 - I'm wondering what would have happened if Eric wrote in chat to EricJ2005 that the guy can't have his flair but Hikaru's pciture )

[@Myau91]

Poor guy... You've been waiting for 5 hours already? I just came when 10 minutes left

[@blckblue_]

​@@Myau91but worth it tho.. 👀

[@robdubent]

Jesus man 20 minutes until the content??????

[@jakecoleman4523]

I was wondering how no one else had mentioned that lol

[@JudWhite1]

because most people don't complain about a free meal

[@Kolfonik]

Hey dude, now it's two months after this horrible experience to have to wait for 20 minutes. Are you ok now? Have the mental scars healed up yet? I hope you didn't have to start doing drugs to deal with the agony.

[@thetransferaccount4586]

bird opening is good though

[@salemtv5808]

a bit confused..Eric goes through games with 1900s with ease never struggled once ..compare that to other GM’s speed runs like Danya and Ginger they struggle or maybe they fake it to make it interesting, like not playing with full power intentionally ?? i don’t know !

[@salemtv5808]

2:19:59 what a comeback..it seems very soon chessbrah will grab the chess championship and will alternate between Eric and Aman until they have enough and let it go like Magnus

[@judsongordy8872]

Are you talking about their slow time control speed runs? I think some of their opponents are sandbagging to play them and some are cheating. I know this happens to Danya on his current speed run.

[@anandbenegal]

3 mins is very different to 15-10 or 10 mins. Eric is basically forcing opponents into tactical positions that he knows about thru theory, puzzle-solving the tactics during the middlegame, and then converting beautifully during the endgame. In longer time formats, and in positional openings they know well, even a 1500 can be very daunting to face for a titled player because they don't get rushed into undesirable middlegames and may even defend solidly in some endgames. The clock is usually the asset of the stronger player.

[@anandbenegal]

@@judsongordy8872 Danya faces a lot of cheaters tbh^

[@ChessJourneyman]

Eric plays mercilessly and knows more theory. He also doesn't pretend he doesn't know when he's facing a cheater, he taunts them openly 😂😂😂

[@sneakerworldromania32]

Eric go easier on the alcohol

[@giosjourney9572]

that's a nice shirt.

[@GeneralBlorp]

Caro Kann is the most American defense possible you can play. Prove me wrong. ☕️
