When a Grandmaster Walks Into My TRICKY Opening...

[@GMBenjaminBok]

GG, Eric!

[@sporesnipers]

Gooooo bok

[@pawezdziech7120]

Did in this game Ben walk into Rosen's trap or did Eric get Boked?

[@arcitejack]

Actually incredible that Ben was able to stabilize after that crazy opening where he seemed so lost

[@MyBiPolarBearMax]

It always shows the strength of GMs when they fall into prep and somehow stabilize or fight back.

[@woahblow4127]

@@MyBiPolarBearMaxwell ya anyone can prep and all the IMs are great at it. Dude can prob calculate 2 or 3 moves farther than Eric in any given position. Especially nasty towards the endgame

[@cz19856]

It never looked lost or even close

[@sumtingwong5109]

@@cz19856lost, as in confused, not losing

[@roberthorvat9347]

IT looked close to losing Bok was on the ropes the clock and tempo(inicijative) were on Erics side.

[@Verity7x]

I love how stressed his opponent looks right from the opening and Eric is just blitzing moves out lol

[@MyBiPolarBearMax]

That feeling of falling into someone’s opening prep 😅

[@jordylont1879]

I was expecting some crazy checkmate with that music coming in lol

[@Tombsar]

I was expecting a tricky stalemate tbh

[@kyz6227]

On some games of thrones like business

[@chickadee-]

BB - "I got myself into some really tricky prep here." 😆😅🤣😂

[@zacharygrouwinkel1534]

Crazy that he was able to draw this. Having the increment definitely helped.

[@jedinxf7]

"i beat Nigel short," he says casually.

[@ohooper]

These mash up vids are my favs by far

[@StuffBudDuz]

When you said Bok was streaming, my first thought was "It sounded more like Mozart!"

[@StevenStJohn-kj9eb]

We needed Bok's heart rate monitor to make the video complete.

[@Smexyl0rd]

When I first saw this I thought it was a speed run, still fun though. Thanks for the awesome content!

[@Kpr316]

Me too. We are due for another episode soon

[@PlanetXtreme]

A grandmaster walks into a bar...

[@GrantHancock1407]

Love the added music.

[@RGP_Maths]

It annoys the heck out of me when I'm trying to play blitz and some orchestra suddenly turns up and starts playing.

[@Fergus316]

We gettin' music now? Nice

[@ZEUSAIMIGHTY]

Blackbeard music added

[@mikebaker2436]

Watching these two play chess always feels like catching Adrien Brody while he is locked in a staring contest against a nearby mirror. 😅

[@ryanjeanes5253]

That is very specific.

[@younghsu2070]

Ep 4 of the beard speed run didnt disappont

[@jamesduggan7200]

Now that's my kind of ending.

[@ConnorODriscoll]

great video, keep up the work you do for the game of chess

[@tobiaschillitrollkarl]

Wher did the queen go at 1:00 ?

[@aitchtea]

excellent game & perhaps your best synching of music to the play.

[@K1llRay64]

Hey Eric! I assume, On move 25 They could've taken on f3 assuming you can't take a bishop with King because you have to guard a pawn on d3. Otherwise you would be 2 pawns down in the end. (Loosing two pawns and a Knight eventually) Upd. Nevermind, they did eventually :D

[@Flightofphenomena]

Eric -the dramatic music was a nice change up. Care to name the tune?

[@angosalvo5734]

I was waiting for a stalemate.. but it's fine😊

[@djgresearch]

Nice game. Had me on the edge of my seat! Sorry - random Q: Do you ever play the Sicilan Kan variation? A contast/compare between Kan and Taimanov lines would be good.

[@antaress8128]

This is better music than the other.

[@quazzydiscman]

Friendly reminder that Benjamin Bok is 7 feet tall...

[@jlin8850]

Does anyone know what song is playing starting from the middle/end of the game? Kinda want to save it to a playlist lol

[@MohamedOsama-rh7uv]

To boldly go

[@sorryforbatenglish]

the music, lol

[@tedCain1]

Battle of the Eyebrows

[@kingcowgirl]

It's a good day 💖✨️

[@MrJaimz87]

Bro where the black queen go

[@dontyellatme1]

Hello Eric!

[@nomer440]

I missed tricky rosen

[@yairdvora871]

מרתק!

[@giridharpavan1592]

bokked hard

[@jsi11i]

Chess is a draw. GG Benjamin.

[@nathansharp3193]

good game

[@mccreadyk]

I enjoy your content and liked your prep. But the music??? Loved it BUT Not Here. What was it? Seems crazy that you both didn't agree to a draw much earlier.

[@TheOracle30]

Did you say local St Louis tournament? I’m from the KC area. I had no idea you were near Missouri!

[@ieaatclams]

He lives in St Louis

[@mrdooman]

Him and Vampirechicken (Mostly does RISK videos these days), pretty certain the St Louis Chess Club is how they met.

[@paulmorphy6187]

Poor sportsmanship...awful

[@samsonpug]

That music was irritating. I gave up watching in the end. Looked like Eric was going to win on time.

[@davidreid5599]

Lose the music- not an improvement.

[@peterflom6878]

For your next speedrun could you open 1. d4. ? Thanks for all the content
