Eric, these speedrun episodes are likely among the best pieces of content on the internet - not just in chess but in general. Watching you play is wonderful and instructive and fun, as usual, but your approach and demeanor are even more meaningful, especially in world like the one we're living in right now. Thank you man, truly.

That's a hanging rook yo.

"Stockfish is more powerful than most humans." Eric cements his reputation for understatement.

Keep up the great work! I love my drama-free, clickbait-free consistent high-quality content!

@sercan4932 1 year ago

these back to back episodes are therapy

One person asks for the english. Eric proceeds to play it. That's a good guy right there

The double check finish in Game 1 was great!

I see these videos pop up at night but I like to save and wait until the mornings and watch while sipping my coffee. Nice and calm chess is a good way to start the day.

Hi Eric, your videos have been a great source of solace for me while awaiting spinal cord surgery. Your chill nature, combined with the complexity of the positions, gives my mind luft above the pain. I just had a successful operation, and this huge burst of content has been great to watch while I'm stuck on my lazyboi.

I'd love to see some more Italian games at this level if you feel like it. Thanks heaps dude

The engine wants such flim flam all the time

I appreciate your efforts to explain the Elo 2300-level chess to us, who are barely hanging around 600.

Love when a bunch of 1200 rating viewers are calling the 37.10 free rook. We all felt like a 2800 player at that moment.

I think i become addicted to this speedrun videos

@Gsfkdhkjhgfs 1 year ago

I’ve been busy and have fallen behind on the speedrun episodes. Also the fact that you’ve been uploading so wonderfully diligently doesn’t help. Currently at episode 73, but I’ll be back and watch this one later after I caught up.

26:39 “Start the procedure!” —Kramnik probably

@user-deevt 1 year ago

An easy and well-deserved win in game two! Opponent barely even put up a fight and gave in as soon as they faced just a bit of pressure, classic! Great chess.

@zacharygrouwinkel1534 1 year ago

Awesome to see some offbeat openings like the English. Would be cool to see you do a King’s Gambit against higher rated players. Force you to use different techniques to win the game.

@jean-baptistebernon5935 1 year ago

"No reason to be suspicious of my eyes movements" 🤣
Is Kramnik a subscriber?

@Phoenixz33 1 year ago

As long as you keep the great chess content coming, we won't care how much you choose to expose yourself, Eric.

@subby111 1 year ago

when you have heavy contrasts in the footage with highs and lots of blacks and the cam is in automatic exposure the slightest movements (changing tones from dark black to just black a little bit) leads to exposure changes. 2 solutions: not wearing black. manual exposuring. anyway... thnx for any content. especially this speedrun is heavily instructive... and its always a pleasure to watch and hear you as you have a very nice voice. pretty symphatic. remembers me always a lil bit to bob ross... :)
