This is an example of a strong player who is a nice guy and who unselfishly shares his knowledge. A+

I really like your teaching style, it's clear and entertaining. Keep up the good work!

[fdllicks]

my favorite instructor. So cool! so humble!

[jeremybowman]

Your demeanour is very calm, you explain chess in a way that is easily understandable. I always want to watch until the very end. It'd be really cool if you could do more lectures on your own channel. I'd be tuned in for every single one.
Im just a 1500 player, 1600 on a good day. I use the London system quite frequently in my repertoire, and fail to notice some of the subtleties which you lectured on today. I've watched this video 3 times thid week, and seem to be having more success playing it.
Thanks for all of your insight, it has been really helpful. Looking forward to hearing many more of your lectures.
If you give private lectures via skype or face time, let me know!
Thanks.
Jeremy

I hope one day to pay a visit are the SLCC. GREAT initiative to publish their lectures on internet. I'm trying to watch everything to keep up, so there is a lot of content yet... but you are truly amazing.
THANKS everybody!
Greetings from Brazil.

I absolutely love Eric's lectures! Very interesting concepts, ideas and positions!

[confusinglyquestionable]

Eric is the only chess player that I can watch for hours without zoning out. He is just so at pace with his viewers and speaks what we are thinking, makes it much more interbtaining and engaging. He is also an agressive tactical player like me so I guess that's a plus haha

[theobeulakker]

good explanations very easy to listen to learn a lot no loud talk etc.

Eric and yassar give my favorite lectures

[christopherparsons]

I read a cool story about Capablanca and his demonstration of reciprocal thinking, when asked by a fellow player how he would solve a particular problem.
