All I know is I’m 1500 and I’m not nearly as good as this first opponent. All I do every day is play vs ppls this level. Maybe it’s just luck or a good day
I'll start playing against human opponents after I can consistently beat the Hikaru bot. Two lucky wins so far, hundreds of almost immediate blunders..

From my perspective it seems like only a good thing. I am not an active Twitch user and I really appreciate that these are posted.
Speedrunning is just sanctioned sandbagging. Users should be able to opt out of playing speedrun accounts. Especially premium users. Speedrunning provides content for videos and streams but at the cost of players who get nothing out of it and are ofter unaware of who they are really playing.
Players get a super instructive game with a strong IM and his analysis of the game... at the cost of zero elo points. A lot of us would pay for this opportunity
I agree, they just must make clear that you are about to play a speedrun account (not sure if that's the case) so that you could decide to go ahead or not. Sandbagging is a real problem in online chess, another form of disgusting cheating. I would be happy to play a high rated titled player, but consciously, I would like to know who I am playing. The argument that a low rated player should be thankful for being crushed by an IM because you are going to learn a lot is ridiculous, would you stop playing people and just play Stockfish? It is much better than any human, you are going to learn a lot being demolished over and over by it ...
2 minor pieces for a queen and a rook, the type of trades I make 😂
May man 😊
Chuckles… “Always nice to have 2 queens by move 16.” Eric is a savage. 😂
the first player is not cheating at all
Eric played the strongest 1500 in the world

I still think the first game was Stockfish...

Kb4 was shorter path instead of Kb6, how did you miss that. It cost you the game so unfortunate.
10 minute games are good
Incredible! 012345 is the combination on my luggage!

There is no money on the game they’re playing and they can learn from the game
How is it sandbagging at all? Isn't he playing to his best ability? Also what would he get from losing?

It’s fun, so should be allowed 🎉
