This RARE Gambit is so much fun

In this video, I play a rare and tricky variation of the Budapest Gambit (starting with 5...d6!?) against ‪@LileKoridze‬ in a blitz chess game. While the opening is objectively dubious for black, is is incredibly venomous if white is not well prepared. This game was part of a blitz and bullet match that Lile and I both streamed. I will be posting more interesting chess games from our match in the coming days, so stay tuned! Be sure to check out WFM Lile Koridze on Twitch and KZbin! / lilekoridze

[@jedinxf7]

seriously his prep for opponents in short time controls is over the top sometimes lol

she has 14 seconds left and eric has 3:05 “so this is all still prep”

I really like watching Rosen. It really is calm watching him. I wish my teachers was like him though.

[@kyro6215]

Crazy you say that, had a math teacher who was super calm n collected as Mr. Rosen

[@anantsharma7955]

Big agree with the calm part. I love watching him play, and I don't mean in this in an offensive manner, but his calming voice before bed is a really good way to relax and get sleepy and then doze off

[@carpetclimber4027]

He's so calm in his demeanor and his voice, but the stuff he plays is the complete opposite.

[@user-uw6fp4wp5o]

Yeah, his voice. Like Gandalf or something.

[@amoreazione3563]

My teacher is the opposite of Eric. He is a hot-tempered, raging individual; he will slam his fists on the table if I drop a piece and throw the board out of the window. He has anger-management issues and he loves to pull a cork. But he is everything I've got.

Eric!!! Huge fan, love the content. Can you show some Sicilian e6 videos or what you play?

[@_niellan]

exactly😂 sicilian paulsen h5 attack

[@jamesklimt]

She played really well against the gambit all things considered. She lost because she had not prepared for the line while he had. Burned all her time too early. Good game though.

[@explained1305]

isnt that kind of a lame reason to lose though? a good chess player should be creative and not always rely on memorization of positions and lines

[@utm0st]

@@dokidokiduckie she knows if she were too play a classical game against this gambit she'd easily win. Chess is not all memorization lol, there's clearly too much positions to memorize
