[@chriskeith5742]

I suspected the cheat earlier in the game but that pawn push when the rook was there to be taken was dead give away.

[@Jezek2202]

I’m a caro player and since the start of this series I’ve gone from 750-920… So happy when a new video drops! Thank you 🙏

[@Vogenatorr]

Eric losing to a Japanese lady just like the rest of us

[@ItIsYouAreNotYour]

That was Sakura bot's mom for sure.

[@ascensionblade]

I just want to list random names followed by question marks as if I'm not sure if they are Japanese ladies.

[@Gyyrh]

Eric handles playing against cheaters with such grace lol

[@ItIsYouAreNotYour]

He was just outplayed there. By the strongest 1400 ever.

[@nubgutter]

That jetsurgeon person didn’t cheat I guess cause they’re not banned. But to be fair Eric only lost that cause of time.

[@leerobbo92]

@@nubgutter 100% cheating. Just that the cheater's at a high enough level to play reasonably tricky bullet chess when they get low on time.

[@denizorsel1029]

he is a cheater lol. that pawn push was a giant tsunami. Being around 1400s and commanding pawns with perfect isolation tactics while causing a landslide for a GM's queen and rook duo does just not make any sense unless jetsurgeon was another super gm@@nubgutter

Is Jetsurgeon the next Pooja confirmed?

[@mineshaftrisotto]

I mean it looked kind of natural. Closed position with obvious goals. I think Eric was just having a bad game and saving face.

[@OArchivesX]

​​​@@mineshaftrisottolmfao what a joke, sorry no 1400 is outplaying a gm.. or IM, or FM... you're living in a dreamland if you think Eric was "playing bad" lol. What "goals" were there? You think even a 2000 can play that accurate in blitz, with near instant moves and no calculation necessary? The guy was playing like a super grandmaster and then suddenly blundering everything at the end trying to flag.. very obvious, don't be braindead.

[@greasysteve3411]

@@mineshaftrisottototally..I think Jetsurgeon is the real GM, Eric’s got no manners

Remember the feeling Eric has against jet surgeon is pretty much the feeling everyone else gets playing against him smurfing

[@ItIsYouAreNotYour]

I always love how Eric casually throws in a promotion for Amans series every video haha.

[@lilmentor3]

Jetsurgeon was a cheat yet their account didn’t get banned. That’s wild to me.

[@ItIsYouAreNotYour]

Some of them disguise it well. It can't tell you are cheating it needs a bunch of data to declare it (input speed, accuracy, differential), unless many report the account and someone manually looks at it. If you look at her stats it's a lot of 60-70 accuracy games. I wonder what the accounts accuracy was verse Eric.

[@solemnusurper4963]

It's only been a minute. Wait a little longer and see what happens to their account. My guess is it won't be around for much longer.

[@joeseppy69]

Definitely stream sniping and only using cheats against Eric

[@daveireland1983]

Definitely looked like cheating to me. I'm 1400 or so, so similar level, they were not 1400 moves.

[@justinhogue9861]

I don't why you cheat in chess. The point is let the elo system match you against similar opponents. If you cheat outside your elo, you have to cheat every game or lose.

[@FlamingTire27]

If Jetsurgeon was indeed a genuine player, that was an astounding game, dayum

[@familiasosa6379]

she was falling apart at the end though. No time to cheat I guess

[@dohpam1ne]

That was blatant cheating. Taking 4-5 seconds each move and playing perfectly for the whole game, then at the end when they don't have time to check the engine then they suddenly start making 500 level blunders every move.

[@shadow-ht5gk]

They were obviously cheating lol, so typical to start panicking when you run low on time and can’t use the engine

[@nubgutter]

@@dohpam1neWell apparently they weren’t cheating cause they’re still not banned.

[@nubgutter]

@@shadow-ht5gkapparently they weren’t cheating cause they still have yet to be banned.

[@Nikos3060]

Another episode ,another attempt to pretend that I know what iam doing later in blitz

[@surf2553]

What I have been doing is playing these games out OTB - going through the thought process and pausing the video before Eric makes his move. Really good way to correct my thinking.

[@JTHHGraphics]

Why can't any of the 1400s I play be as bad as those first few

[@colereynolds2080]

They are just as bad. You’re simply not exposing them to the extent Eric is.

He’ll ya bro. I just learned how to play chess 4 weeks ago (I knew how the pieces move) and am up to a almost 800, used this and just beat a 940

[@FreeMe64O]

Jetsurgeon cheatin fs they had 100% accuracy games also

[@nubgutter]

Having 100% accurate games doesn’t mean someone cheated, I’ve done it before it just depends on the game and opening.

[@FreeMe64O]

@@nubgutter yes ik 100% is possible without cheating eg the scholars mate if works out as it is supposed to would count as a 100% accuracy game, but they had games which were long and went into many move middle games. It isn’t possible for normal players to get 100% games like that. only top gms can, that too once in a while.

[@fabio475]

Take a look at some of their bullet games, comically bad moves with 30 seconds on the clock. There is absolutely no chance a 990 Bullet player is outplaying a GM. None.

Yeah that profile is suspicious as hell, was surprised to see it wasn’t banned yet. I agree, 1000 bullet and 1700-1800 blitz, something doesn’t add up.

JetsurgeonFan69

[@KazamaShin89]

At the moment of writing this, Jetsurgeon is still an open account... And this is EXACTLY the problem with online chess... Except for the obvious cheaters who play like 99% games all the times, there are the others as well... The ones that cheat only for 1-2 moves in a game.. But these 1-2 moves are crucial in giving them an advantage and finally the win.... For me, it's utterly disheartening to face such opponents that I KNOW they have cheated but there is no way to prove it. And no matter how many times I report them they just keep going... They have found this balance of cheating enough to win but not enough to get detected.... Is any one else feeling the same?

[@emi662002]

Jup, 1300-1400 is mud. Very difficult to come out of it.

[@iamtheteapot7405]

I almost never feel people are cheating. I have gotten 2 or 3 messages from chess.com saying someone I previously played was banned for fair play. I think most players/games are legit.
