GM Eric Hansen Bird Speedrun | 2200-2400

[@xordid]

Eric when the speedrun starts vs 400 Elo players: chipper, grinning, coffee in hand, chatty, energetic, full of life Eric when vs 2200+ Elo: 1940's coal miner

[@Faith-vl4lv]

I like Eric's subtle jokes, not sure if you guy's like bishops touching, being good at identifying holes. I see you Eric

[@onursna2327]

Every hole is a goal 😅

[@sgrey9181]

16:18 “being good at identifying holes is, uh… that’s a useful skill. It’s gonna… it’s gonna take you far…. Not just in chess” lmao this is why we watch Eric

[@opticalmixing23]

I've been playing chess since 2013, and my rating has been stuck at around 1600-1800. I now realize that the only way I'll ever improve is if I study chess books daily for hours on end. Building my knowledge on memorization and prearrangements, just as Fischer said. In general, I can tell you that the knight is the piece you should be most worried about

[@hindifandubs]

Wow you streamed today itself on kick and now it uploaded on youtube with editing. That is a quick and great surprise for people like me who've been following this series of yours.

[@5TA1KR]

[@Truffle_Pup]

4:10 Jesus I jumped up thinking there was a mouse in my room

[@damnuize]

11:00 wasn't that a smothered mate?

[@namandhakar20]

I like watching speedruns....Eric's Speedruns are fun

[@DarkSkay]

41:05 is Ne5 or Nd4 good here?

[@noambm1234]

there is some bird action over there mate

[@3DxPOD]

I could watch Eric pawning noobs for hours ... And have haha

[@peterthegreat6385]

13:08 doesnt black have Qg3 Kh1 and take a bishop on h3 with check

[@tudski]

He does, he would win the bishop but the king can eventually run away if he takes.

[@peterthegreat6385]

@@tudski he would lose bishop and f3 pawn with checks,there would be no where to run,and black should play for the win in that situation anyway

[@jamalblack8995]

yeah he says it like 10 seconds later

[@tysonyi9890]

loved the music

[@modolief]

In all of life there is a rhythm.

[@dennystreet2454]

Eric is the most kind chess player in the world. ❤

[@maylene1945]

I'm waiting the battle between PoojaFan69 with bird opening and PoojaFan69 with c6 opening

[@fdpb98]

Bruv, i’ve been playing the bird/dutch for a long time now, following mr. Williams, you just make it look so easy and effortlessly while im stuck at fkng 2000 elo

[@justanothernick3984]

These guys are amazing at solving problems. Just finished watching that game against 2260 rated Speed of Vacuum. How he solved that castle-blunder (or mistake) that low on the clock as well, I don't know...

[@sotirisloizidis4988]

11:11 Wasn’t there Qg8? Rxg8 kf7 mate

[@aminesosa8676]

Qg8+ Kxg8 and YOU LOSEEE!

[@sotirisloizidis4988]

@@aminesosa8676 i suck 🤣🤣🤣

[@ClassicPass_]

Always touch bishops.

[@vernerio497]

Are yall in europe still?

[@Tom-hf4om]

They're in Ohio rn

[@thabomokhaneli6992]

Eric you are so amazing. Love your content. Please play Alireza in bullet😁😁😁❤

[@Tom-hf4om]

Bro Alireza is too strong bullet player and Eric is not in shape rn, but maybe he could play blitz against Alireza 🙃

[@susbedo9258]

Lol. I doubt Alireza wants to waste time playing with Eric. Magnus was actually disappointed that Eric even 1.5 points off him at the recent bullet championship. It should be like 20-zero.

[@tele-marmotte]

Tremendous

[@wsemenske]

You should try a 1.F3- 2.G4 speedrun (You have to allow Fool's mate until move 3). See how far you get until you lose too much.
