In this Tricks and Traps Speedrun series, I try to climb the rating ladder while playing tricky and trappy openings, along with an ultra-aggressive style of chess. The goal is to not only entertain viewers, but provide lessons on a fun style of chess which can produce lots of quick wins, cool sacrifices, and brilliant moves.

Please note that I'm playing on an authorized Speedrun account on chess.com and all opponents who I beat will receive a rating refund.

I love it when the nicest thing he can say about his opponents move is to compliment it on its legality.

According to touch-move, if you accidentally grab the resize handle you have to resize.

8:55 "A nice position to sip some Tea" is the most Eric Rosen line ever.

I first really learned the Smith-Morra from Daniel Naroditsky's channel.

Thanks for the video, Eric.

Welcome back, Eric. There is something poetic about you getting a Stafford gambit in your first game back on the speed run. The world heals.

@noqueens8005 10 months ago

You and Daniel have always been my favorite chess YouTube channels. Please keep doing the educational speedruns if you can, we really appreciate them. You’re the best!

11:10 "my opponent just messaged me a winking emoji. oh, the actually sent the message 3 minutes ago, so. um, not sure what that indicates"

Dear lord. He's away from chess for a month and he comes back and is slaughtering people in 13 and 14 moves with ease. Someone call an ambulance.

@lolobuggah2670 10 months ago

Thank you Eric, i believe Danya would’ve been glad to see you’re back doing the speedrun.

9:00 The ultimate flex: traveling with your own branded mug. 💪 33:25 I saw that fork in the game! Actually screencapped it to analyze later if it didn't come up in the review. YAY, me. 😂

Rosen is on some art of war shit with his humility betraying the type of confidence of a lethal warrior. Smiling and complimenting ur outfit as he drags ur lifeless body from the battlefield.
