Mr. Blunder 2022. The ONE YEAR I didn't claim the title and this guy's parading it all over town. Sheesh.

The tactics and calculations got above what i could ever hope to see this video.

[Danny-dnpj]

this might be my favorite episode yet! the play in this video is far beyond my level, but seeing inside your mind during an aggressive attack is so fascinating and instructive. thanks for the videos :)

[lperets]

"It feels very close to being very good" I love your wording!

[taporter]

I'm shocked at the level of joy this series brings me. Thank you!

[craigcrayhgsun]

Love your content Eric! Always waiting for new videos from you! Wishing you a happy fall and much luck in whatever tournament you head to next!

Game two I liked - like a pirate ship grappling on to another and sending it's crews over to fight with swords - great game

[OrchestralButterflie]

"Sacrificing the rook" felt like Cary Elwes in Liar Liar. 'you're scared of the claw!'

[djgresearch]

Thanks Eric. I enjoyed that and no mouse slips today either! I like the way we often get a theme. It's instructive to learners how you take the time to review games; where mistakes were made, turning points etc.

I love this series!

In the second game, after 24. a3 I spotted Rb4!! I didn't fully calculate it while watching, but the rook could not be taken by either a or c pawns due to the mate threat and pin, respectively. It threatens Rxh4 and Ra4 making things pretty uncomfortable for white's king.

Been loving this series! So incredibly helpful, thank you Eric!! I started watching when it began, but fell behind having to focus on a big project deadline. Still working to catch up but sneaking in the new episodes 👀

First game was really instructive to me. I play the Rasa Studier against the Caro-Kann and it's interesting how a lot of the same tactical ideas can come from the Two Knights Attack. Considering a switch for a more solid game at higher levels. Thanks for the content!

Just in time for my bedtime story, 11pm UK

[PlaAwa]

you did mention lifting the rooks at one stage, but it sounded more like a plan b

[justinarnold]

I truly enjoy watching you play. Thanks for keeping this series interesting!

Finally caught up with the speed run to be able to catch a new episode, I'm loving the content Eric!

[catac]

I have to say your time management is amazing now! Thank you and keep it up !

[Girafficorn]

My man! Thanks for the video. Oh no my queen!
