Trying Out A Game-Changing Opening In Titled Tuesday

[@ottomaddoxx5360]

"The cons are you get an objectively lost position on move 2."

[@MyBiPolarBearMax]

“Other than that Mrs. Lincoln, how was the play?” 😂

[@iansalzman3672]

Another great video from my favorite comedian who dabbles in chess

[@LinusK500]

"Let's go." "Keep checking til it's checkmate." Heartrate: 137. Eric is my man.

[@TheRoarer]

"I'm out of my prep." I had a very hearty chuckle.

[@edwarddoyle7845]

Call it the demolition charge opening because you destroy your castle intentionally

[@KralleZ7]

Oh no my "long-castling-rights" 😅

[@alanjones8573]

This shows how talented Eric is. When he gets all these players out of prep he can beat them.

[@lolobuggah2670]

It's very cool how you're not afraid to play these risky openings for fun. You're great!

[@SebastianBohn]

Round 1 was insanely entertaining. I imagine your opponent literally evading the kitchen sinks. Takeaway: Never hide in the corner when someone does that to you 😅

[@XVRMEDIA]

Difficult to watch, like cartel interrogation videos. Dismembering chess should be the title of this video.

[@nimzomitch]

....the guy got banned for using a weird opening...?? 🤔

[@josepherhardt164]

Reportedly, Magnus also thought the banning was ridiculous, so he (Magnus) played it and won 8 or 9 out of 11 with it. Of course, Magnus could face a player using only checkers and still win.

[@dj_enby]

I think the ban was for smurfing, not as much the opening.

[@Drillbitayler]

What's smurfing?

[@dj_enby]

@@Drillbitayler nothing much whats smurfing with you? Lol jk, it's when a high level player uses an alt account to beat low level opponents and farm wins. It's pretty silly if you ask me, but people do it in a lot of games for some reason.

[@Drillbitayler]

@dj_enby your joke made me smile xD thanks for explaining that! I guessed it must be something like that but had never heard the term before :)

[@neilvsalmon6105]

Dont hold your btreath seeing this in the U.S. championship .

[@eruptrl8893]

first game was actaully insane

[@xcreenplay7264]

this is openning only magnus can pull of lol

[@Superbri]

it's surprisingly effective! xD

[@eliav207]

did eric miss Nc4 forking the rooks at 15:25? or am i missing something obvious?

[@tommyfiendo]

Knight can't jump that far! It's on f3.

[@tommyfiendo]

also b4 is the forking square, not c4

[@eliav207]

Thank you! You are right. I was seeing all kinds of imaginary tactics that didn’t actually exist.

[@wordpress4373]

This should be a draw (no checkmate within 10 moves) kzbin.info/www/bejne/jJTRk5uDg7WhfMk

[@dohnjoe735]

35:04 Nd4 would have been a better try than Na3. If he takes, its stalemate :)

[@iamtheiconoclast3]

Hikaru is leading the tournament? Very interesting. Statistically speaking that's effectively impossible.

[@medalibouhedja5742]

isn't u in spain for the tournament ?

[@ieaatclams]

Yeah but these are uploaded like a month after he streama

[@dj_enby]

If you're curious of the date, it's in the description

[@Jeppelelle]

Like the others have stated & also, this is Titled Tuesday as per the title, unless you are a time traveler, it's not tuesday today ;)

[@BigParadox]

Fun/interesting to see the heart rate increase when the time starts to run out.

[@newstart4981]

3:47 Why not take the knight on d4?

[@oishiine6781]

Qe5+ forks and wins the rook

[@thetransferaccount4586]

yeah chess is a scam.. this opening proves

[@jwyke7308]

😢

[@timballenger1416]

Eric, your opponent missed checkmate with Rook to F6. Game against GM RantomOpening time stamp 1:39:39. Your king was trapped by your pawn move and his knight, H pawn and king controlled the other squares.

[@benshone7703]

Not checkmate because of g5 pawn

[@timballenger1416]

Ahh, I see that now. Thanks

[@mr_mr]

25:42 Holy h file parties Batman!

[@bkokohut1980]

Didn't you already post this?

[@octaviogouveia9258]

Krikor almost winning Hikaru 😍

[@nested9301]

I was doing it 😂

[@dj_enby]

Finally! The banned gambit!!

[@Vulecro529]
