GM Eric Hansen Bird Speedrun | 1200-1400

[@joshuanaranjo7974]

Fun fact, Eric used to work at subway with me. We always ate the left over cheese together

[@Fredsterrrrr]

That’s hilarious

[@ItIsYouAreNotYour]

We used to work at a local porn shop together. We always watched all the movies in the booth after work. He never let me watch the women ones. Don't support these guys.

[@DAra-fk6wu]

man, you sound like normal people, crazy

[@hondorama]

Free cheese is the best cheese.

[@Planterobeets]

42:19 someone let this 1400 know he beat a GM

[@patg6205]

I was playing soccer with Eric the other day. Eric was playing goalie, and I was taking a penalty. I did a slow run up Pogba style and Eric mumbled “wait is this theory?” I shot towards the right and sent eric the wrong direction. “Holy smokes!” Eric sat on the grass, looking frustrated and beaten. I was about to celebrate but some guy pushed me in the back and yelled “u gotta push ‘em!” I landed heavily on my face. Before I pass out, I saw a video clip playing mid air and it was some homeless looking dude beating up some bald guy. At the end of the clip there was a lame KO animation. As my eyes shut, I heard “get him outta here!” Don’t support these guys.

[@YouAreThatGuy]

What the fuck

[@cptayne]

😂 pin this comment pls brahssss

[@rodrigo0753]

O que vc fumou?😅

[@WILLIS.808]

This is the funniest comment of all time I think

[@WILLIS.808]

“Is this theory”🤣🤣

[@goku445]

That smothered was beautiful 26:00

[@mihrdatpahlavigian]

There is something relaxing about watching Eric play chess. Good games brah.

[@PiercingSight]

21:25 - That's SO gross. That whole game was just so nasty. I love it~

[@RitsukiCat]

I don't know who i like the most. Eric or Aman? Both are amazing people and funny...

[@mattcavallaro8617]

Love em both!

[@mishaerementchouk]

39:18 surprisingly, this is good for black: Bxa3 Bxa3 Nf6, and the white knight is trapped. Black eventually has tw😢minor pieces for the rook and is quite safe.

[@davidrobertson1980]

Yup always open up the "Feathers" F file when it's the bird lol

[@modolief]

Ouch. I have to say it again, it's like watching somebody club baby seals. My heart goes out to these 1200-1400s.

[@h1376h]

The bird's the word.

[@TwitchiiKurly]

Eric Hansen = best chessbrah

[@brodydouglass8042]

Aman is funny af but there’s just something about Eric…

[@mcronrn]

Kurly is Aman pumping his boy up 😂

[@thegovernorpower9161]

Eric is definitely the strongest out of the two

[@manawearblack]

I watch chess videos with my grandmother all the time and she's always disappointed when it's Aman not Eric, she always says "where's the dark and handsome one" (she's 97 and not so good with names)

[@Bruceylancer]

46:06 Do you wanna touch bishops, Eric?

[@redminote7334]

I can't help but imagine Hikaru laughing at that "screen went black" game

[@КаналЧиллиПепФакты]

I like your moves commentary. First time I find your videos useful to watch. Im subscribed, since you had your first 3000 subscribers

[@alexander2639]

Where can i find a music from videos?

[@ChristianRalphlo]

16:10 ba3 wins knight

[@varlandan5245]

what song is this at 12:15

[@nicallen2137]

Eric is a bird of prey who loves to play with his food

[@Thomas-qn9kj]

Does anyone know the name of the first song

[@nasseralqahtani595]

21:25 that’s me and I want revenge 😢

[@ccdj35]

16:30 does anyone recognize this song?

[@joshlevy-y5t]

thanks

[@floridaman6982]

You can tell hes ready to end this series soon lmao

[@Gush27]

I dont see that

[@87Julius]

"Just making sure... you'll never find safety." "That's kinda rough eh?" Vile. Don't support these guys.

[@ChristianRalphlo]

44:11 eric blunder knight takes pawn bruh...

[@Ninterd2]

Knight takes c8 bishop then rook takes. Not a blunder.

[@ChristianRalphlo]

@@Ninterd2 yes it is cuz after takes and rook takes knight, black queen can take white knight and if white knight take black bishop, black knight retreat and after that the white knight has no square.If white knight takes the pawn on h7, it open up the h files for the rook and I dont think eric want that.🤷🏾‍♂️

[@LordTreyHowdy]

There was a weird bug at 44:20 with the game. En passant was forced but somehow you were able to play Qh4. Really should report that to the devs.

[@Skarecrow1949]

Eric decided not to capture the en passant pawn. No glitch

[@LordTreyHowdy]

@@Skarecrow1949 I was joking. En passant "being forced" is an online chess community joke.

[@mathesen]

Hi eric

[@Microbiome101]

These speedruns are gold but i would like to see some crazy sacrifices right at the beginning to make it a challenge. Like jumping both knights into nothingness or giving up both bishops

[@orthodoxwitness2374]

I think the point of the videos is that they are instructive for us lower levels, so they want to show the normal lines and give ideas about what you can play.

[@LordTreyHowdy]

I agree with OrthodoxWitness. Think of these videos as a repertoire study

[@shafi9695]

Lv u bro❤

[@DrStabkill]

Oh look it’s my rating lol. I’ll never get past 1300

[@davidrobertson1980]

Or it could be the "Flight" file lol

[@davidrobertson1980]

Fly into the enemy territory on the F.... :)

[@XlogicXX]

I'm glad you lost that silly Queen sacrifice game. Unsound.

[@BlakeGreen]

📌

[@raycornford283]

Love the games, but could do without the 'music' !!

[@johngrey1074]

Eric lost to somebody in the 1300s. Must be a speed run record for most pathetic defeat.

[@ImprovePath]

PoojaFan69 😂😂

[@Chris.4345]

Comment for the algo. And by the way… I’m gay.

[@raskolnjikov1]

you are just poisoned by the system, there is no such thing as gay

[@davidwhite2949]

I like Eric, but come on: who cares about a GM beating up on 1400 players?

[@dohpam1ne]

evidently a lot of people

[@williamguy88]

Have you not seen hikaru or naroditsky speedrun viewership

[@williamguy88]

A LOT of people care

[@stratdax4028]

The point of these is that he plays the same opening through the different rating ranges to give viewers ideas and responses to everything you're likely to see on your way up. Not just passively sit back and chuckle at him beating people up, but actually pay attention and apply what you learn here to your own games.
