I Was 25 Minutes Late to This Tournament. Can I Win?

[@McQueenOse]

This is the Eric I know and love, the one that arrives late to tournaments and tries to win it.

[@Russellbeta]

0:31 lol I love how the picure on his coffee cup is him drinking from the coffee cup, the coffee cup in the picture should also have a picture of him drinking from a coffee cup though.

[@vedicapproach8105]

That second one against Manzatas was a swindling masterclass 😅 incredible

[@Checkers1872]

17:50 Bro is 1750+ and hangs a piece after thinking for a minute lol (it happens)

[@kruksog]

Nice combo of time and rating, lol.

[@kruksog]

Also, Eric hung a knight in the first game I think... It definitely happens.

[@rakhatthenut3815]

​@@kruksogdoesn't he have a fork afterwards?

[@amirPenton]

28:34 I’m glad Eric explains these afterwards for those of us who don’t see them 😅

[@felixrobertson534]

Missed mate in 2 by both players at 43:57

[@catac83]

I don’t see it for black… ? Eric has Queen to h5 followed by f5 after black king moves to f6

[@ammster1234]

​@@catac83he means the mate in 2 idea was missed by both players

[@wincoffin7985]

"By both players" is confusing -- by definition (unless forced) it's always missed by the losing side. Clearer: "Eric missed mate in 2." Good find!

[@MenOh99]

Came here to say this. Strange that Eric misses it, I thought that possibility was the whole point of Rh1

[@rakhatthenut3815]

​@@wincoffin7985it's not confusing. Everyone say it like this. If you are confused just look at the position

[@wearenumb9877]

I missed this series 😩Eric should do it even more

[@rhoddryice5412]

26:43 I’m always amazed by these time scrambles.

[@snakery18]

Knight hanging at 33:04?

[@choco1101]

Yeah, seems like he missed the backwards queen takes. Probably flustered by the self confusion just moments earlier.

[@nephronpie8961]

I was shouting at the screen 😂

[@flippert0]

Eric isn't the greatest strategist, but reasonably tactically gifted. He's really fast in premoving, though.

[@nedheadwyoming]

Congrats Eric!

[@SeanGallagher-d6v]

Nice win Eric!!!

[@amirPenton]

56:55 did Eric hang the knight?

[@catac83]

35:12 Bro ran out of time here. An amazing mate was coming up with that knight jumping 3 times and eventually to b3. Never seen it before wow

[@iJoxy]

33:04 queen takes knight?

[@kayraaydn8472]

Hi Eric, I am a turkish fan. Yesterday in a tournament you played with "FMYasimEmrah" who is one of the funniest chess youtuber in Turkey. Will you upload the tournament? I would love to watch the match from your perspective. Loves from Turkey

[@MrSilkable]

Is 33:04 not a free knight?

[@MrOnosa]

Very cool!

[@PeterHavord]

I love you Eric

[@yagamilight1231]

good games eric

[@PriveGitaarles]

ok that game against watana was issane

[@thetransferaccount4586]

modern tournaments require modern methods

[@walterbrownstone8017]

I want to play the superblitz arena but I'm too slow.

[@joneichelberg6432]

free knight against palestine
