"I saw Mikhail Tal in Latvia, at least saw a statue of him" Hahaha, well done Eric. I saw Christopher Columbus in Italy.

Best format IMO, when the same opening is played several times in a row. That helps fixing it in memory, as well as seeing several lines and middle game plans within that opening.

Best video to get sleep. Aggressive openings with soothing narration 😚😙

1:52:30 "If people have questions, just get Camel Clutcher to answer, and I can probably endorse most of his answers" -- sounds legit.

36:40 Eric thanks for mentioning your Flicker Acct. I've mentioned in the past how much I enjoy your photography skills as well. I'll really dig viewing your albums. Thanks, ... Mike.

South Africa approves ....I'm literally watching this while waiting for my next patient to pitch..

Hey. Love your videos. I really want to see more of the dragon. I play it as my main defense against e4.

Thankfully no techno music. Watched this video with spotify "Zen focus" playlist in the background. Was nice.

20:00 if white takes the pawn with bishop and black takes back, queen is gonna come in and take back piece and get away with 2 pawns. He has some pieces there so he can even start immediate attack. He will win a pawn at least.

Great Video idea! Very instructive. Big tumbs up!

31:42 Qe2 would have been marvelous...

[MrMacmua]

at 2:46 Q to a5 check..he moves pawn to b4 you capture it then call check again then take pawn with bishop

[rmendeljacobs]

How the hell did you not take the free knight, what... I'm so dead rn 😂

[lukeb]

Just pause at 4:55 if anyone wonder how people can get so good to see how the mind of an IM works during a game

[ericb]

37:55 he says what is this line. It's Alpha Zero man. Most famous move of AI chess

[samuelrickert]

Thank you for all your great videos Eric!
I have seen your video about how to beat the Sicilian with Nc3, but could you show the best lines to play with white against the closed Sicilian?

"All tea should be boofed" 🤣🤣💀💀

[SuperYtc]

I thought I was going crazy when you missed that free knight. And yes, 2 knights is worth more than 1 bishop there. xD

Hi, Eric. I have been watching your streams and a few lectures from time to time. And it helps me create some ideas of my own moves. However, I find that I've hit a wall just recently with playing chess online. I have only started playing for just I've 2 weeks now (although I already knew how to play prior, just didn't really study lines and certain game segments) Do you have any tips?
