Eric uses the HIPPO to Surprise Titled players!

[@ctriamimgons]

7:00 - Eric = 6 sec, Opponent = 16 sec. Eric = he's getting low on time.😂

[@JW-qd3ol]

I died laughing at that point

[@troobs1990]

That first game Lmao. You’d be so triggered

[@theiceburger]

Holy smokes! That first game… KEY OH

[@IN-pr3lw]

2:40 6 YEARS?!

[@justlurkin]

You turned super saiyan at the end of that first game 😱

[@rgqwerty63]

when you calculated the line at 22:25 I was thinking nah theres no way he plays that, none of it is forced. Then he went down the exact line. GMs really are on another level

[@Steve0904]

It is basically a forced line after f3 though because otherwise Black is down material or mated after Qg8 if he leaves the knight there. So Rx is forced and then Black is losing. Qxh3 doesn’t work because the resulting promotion isn’t with check and then Rf7 mates as Eric explains.

[@bethechange7985]

dude you riding the hippo in the thumb nail is the greatest chess thumbnail I've ever seen! hahahahaha

[@bethechange7985]

dang that first game come back was NASTY

[@austynrose2286]

The hippo speed run has taken me from a super scared 400 to a relatively confident (for me) 700+. Been super fun watching and also learning. Edit: am now at 1,000+

[@jesee22]

Took me from 700 to 1100. Took some adjusting but damm do I love it

[@Patrick462]

nice, chess can be fun!

[@leo-um6yt]

took me from 2000 to 1700, don’t support these guys

[@austynrose2286]

@@leo-um6yt sounds like a skill issue

[@yamch]

hippo works so good on bullet...by the time they realised what's happened times up

[@josephsalmonte4995]

"I don't know how I done that" With persistence & amazing skill mate 👍

[@johnmahugu]

I now play the Hippo exclusively and i am the better for it coz my ELO has been improving steadily especially after watching Erics Speed Run. Thank you very very much for that Eric.

[@umershaikh7179]

Bruh I was just walking yesterday minding my own business and out of nowhere I saw Eric in the grocery store. I went to go say hi but he slapped me and knocked one of my teeth out. I tried to fight back but then aman came and knocked me out. Don’t support these guys man…

[@maxhay9911]

I actually I saw Eric at a grocery store in Calgary yesterday. I told him how cool it was to meet him in person, but I didn’t want to be a douche and bother him and ask him for photos or anything. He said, “Oh, like you’re doing now?” I was taken aback, and all I could say was “Huh?” but he kept cutting me off and going “huh? huh? huh?” and closing his hand shut in front of my face. I walked away and continued with my shopping, and I heard him chuckle as I walked off. When I came to pay for my stuff up front I saw him trying to walk out the doors with like fifteen Milky Ways in his hands without paying. The girl at the counter was very nice about it and professional, and was like “Sir, you need to pay for those first.” At first he kept pretending to be tired and not hear her, but eventually turned back around and brought them to the counter. When she took one of the bars and started scanning it multiple times, he stopped her and told her to scan them each individually “to prevent any electrical infetterence,” and then turned around and winked at me. I don’t even think that’s a word. After she scanned each bar and put them in a bag and started to say the price, he kept interrupting her by yawning really loudly. Don’t support these guys.

[@lillemy5062]

Eric slapped my ass, and kissed my husband on the lips at walmart. These chess players need to be stopped! They're a menace.

[@elreiec1]

[@CestosChannelByElite]

And the Hippo strikes again YEP !

[@floydsequeira1019]

love the hippo content

[@elindauer]

It's not enough to defeat titled players with the hippo... my guy wants to win clean! 😂

[@swdist68]

Hippo has been working pretty well for me since Eric came out with the first Hippo speed run video. Most people cannot get around it.

[@jacobg892]

ew that ending on the first is that pure pure sublimated dank sauce

[@RockClimberAlex]

Maybe it's just me, but I enjoy Eric much more when he's not getting shitfaced with his dancing friend.

[@JW-qd3ol]

You ain't wrong buddy

[@Alpacastan21m]

How does one know Qd7 would be played? 1:46

[@GeneGerwin]

I’ve been playing 3.2 blitz with nothing but the hippo for years. I think I have 8,000 hippo games on my Lichess account.

[@S_G_86]

[@DeathEaterLink]

Anyone know the music? I'm a fan

[@zexisak4085]

3 bad positions out of the opening but alas 2.5/3 and that rook endgame should've meant 3/3.

[@loosehorsemedia]

[@robinvogel4605]
