    Never got excited for TV show or series like this. I really enjoy these episodes! Sometimes they make me laugh with your funny statements like "my opponent is playing a speed game" Don't know I'm the only one that laughs with such statements 😅 time runs when I'm watching these videos. Thank you Eric! Been waiting this for the past weeks.

    Pretty sure the last guy's user name would translate to Mate in 23, since the last 5 digits can be interpreted as binary. Maybe a game that has significance to him finished in 23 moves?

    • @Modie
      @Modie 12 днів тому

      I thought the same thing and funnily enough, there was a potential mate on the 23rd move if the opponent wouldn't have defended with the rook. I was nearly expecting they do it for the lols.

    Was just looking at your evaluation of that last game. Doesn't Nd5 save the queen from getting trapped by facilitating Nb6 after Black plays Bb7 and counter-attacking the Queen? All lines seem to result in only loss of a piece instead of a full queen. Can you check this?

    Is there a chance, that in the next episodes you could play openings with D4 (as white), since most of the time when you are white I belive you play e4. I think that would be very instructive :)

  • @Iearnwithme

  • @TheTwoTwelve
    @TheTwoTwelve 15 днів тому

    That second opponent was interesting. I think they're the type of player with really strong instincts, hence a decent rating, but don't really know the fundamentals. He didn't seem to have a plan, and that was obvious with the non-traditional opening. But I bet they're normally a decent positional player and can do well against most players their rating. It's just that you're able to punish their mistakes far better than any random 1600. I bet with some instruction or at least some work on openings and thinking they could really be a decent player.

    Hey Eric, I don't think there's a good way to not seem like a douche, so I'll just go ahead and ask: About your Twitch VODs, they are only available to subscribers. AFAIK that is an actual option someone would have to willingly turn on. I have watched so much content of you, including all the speedrun episodes so far and I didn't get sellout vibes from you. Any particular reason? If you wanted to preserve content to upload for UA-cam, you'd disable VODs altogether I think. It's a really rare thing to see content creators use on Twitch, which makes it all the more surprising.
    Idk, my cynical side is running wild, but I actively want to give you the benefit of the doubt. Sorry to put you on blast like that. Sometimes I'd just really like to chill to some VODs of yours as timezones absolutely do not overlap at all, but VODs beig sub-only and me not being a sub makes me feel like I'm supposedly not enough as a viewer unless I pay up. (That's the ugly cynical side talking.)
    Again, sorry for all the drama. I've been genuinly enjoying your content for quite a while, which made it even worse to type all this out and sound like a damn psychopath.
