This is exactly why you're my favorite chess streamer. Seems it didn't even cross your mind the possibility of cheating. Rather, you immediately accepted defeat and studied your mistakes with an extremely positive attitude. Respect.

This is a beautiful Speedrun and I look forward to the road ahead.

[OhHelloo]

Opponent changed his name to greenflag49. His opponent is now also banned for violating fair play policy 😂😂

[lperets]

Eric's most spoken words throughout the series: "Also, I have to watch my time..."

[lew]

Quite common pattern in engine cheating is that someone plays a weird ass opening and then starts to play exceptionally well. Tbh have been surprised you haven't faced a cheater till now.

[Squilfinator]

Two takeaways:
1. Opponent is very likely cheating
2. This never would have happened if you kept the beard

[Larry_Kabberga]

“catch me if you can”, no further questions your honour

[DaliborOkoro]

Rxd3 takes 1 minute and every subsequent move takes 2 seconds and is perfect 😂. 15 day old account as well, too obvious.

[noonefromnowhere]

Yeah, you didn't lose to a person. Streak still lives as far as I am concerned.

[baboon]

Stockfish played that endgame beautifully!

[colinfrance]

Oppo account has now been banned for fair play.

14:46 look how from this point on (I didn't pay close attention to earlier, but this is the point where the engame gets really comlpex) he usually takes exactly 2 seconds to make every single move, some very deep and complex ones even. Every now and then seems like he pauses for some reason, but then he takes time in the most obvious moves and moves fast in hard ones. There is no way that this guy is clean

[Salvatawr]

I'm rated 2000 in rapid, and this opponent played FAR stronger than anything I could do. The way they played the end game was especially suspicious. In any case, great job taking the loss gracefully. Thanks for the amazing content!

[ohnomyking]

Hello Eric, thanks for putting up this game despite the fact it has been rightfully removed from your record. In episode 56 you had more wins. Well done for not making accusations but I could see on your face that one hurt. Keep up the good work - I love your series and it has been incredibly helpful. Now...about that Alekhine defence...is that an option at this level?
Cheers
👍

[illuminaut]

Opponent suspiciously played a complicated endgame perfectly, never taking more than 2 seconds per move.

[marsfx]

I have never seen a chess player be so graceful in defeat

[bigsluggy]

Looking at that account / their recent games, I've got a feeling you'll be removing that loss at some point.

[kaishaku]

Was wondering, when you'd face the first "interesting" opponent. No shame in losing to stockfish, I'd say 😂

[UKYusei]

ERIC THE ACCOUNT HAS BEEN CLOSED FOR FAIR PLAY YOUR STREAK IS ALIVE 😀

[softserve]

Just a general update, but the account was closed for violating fair play policies 😊

[jimmyyates]

eric, i played this opponent on li chess and after analyzing the game my opponent was around 97% accurracy for a five minute game so i reported him as a cheat. i am surprise he was not banned. these players play wild openings to start a game only to use stockfish to clean up when they get into trouble.
