This is possibly the best tournament recap and game analysis video that I've seen

[Ditharu]

Hi Eric, thank you for this! Personally, I prefer this format, even though I have to admit, when you play at a tournament, I am always excited to receive a notification of you posting the daily analysis. But in this "mass recap" format you seem more well-rested, and you have analyzed the games in advance, and the flow is great. Thank you for showing your community how to analyze their games and get better ❤

[Rubrickety]

Great content! Slightly unfortunate that the opponents' names and clock times were cut off after the intro. Knowing Eric, he probably noticed it after recording and went "D'oh!"

[JacobVanlunen]

Your content is really incredible. My daughters wanted to learn chess earlier this year and I’m really grateful for this channel. I’m a pro tour champion in magic, so I game, but had no chess knowledge. I’m at 1500 already, 8yo is mid 700s and 5yo is understanding concepts

[SebastianBohn]

Wow, 2hrs of Eric straight and on the main channel. Great binge material!
Also, appreciate the format variation.

[JaretDawson]

Love this format, obviously I enjoy the individual game recaps but I'm sure this was a lot easier for you to sit down and go through all the games together. Some really fun games, Jonathan's commentary was appreciated as always too!

[Ptaku]

38:08 "Also note the time situation" - I can't, Eric, I just can't

[thishex]

38:07 The time situation cannot be noted because your opponent's clock is cut off from the video

[MrPerrisC]

Great to see your content again Eric, you were in my feed every day and i didn't know why not anymore:

Your explanation of pawn H3 was easy following, it's the opponent saying, "I got nothing yet but neither do you, let me see if I can exploit whatever you come up with"

Love your content, you're content becomes my personal coach!

[lindsaym.r.o.]

Great video with all the recaps! I hope this was less work than like 9 separate videos. (And selfishly I would love a video like this for the remaining games from Madrid if you have time!)

[Toxodos]

man youtube is really brutal when you don't keep a tight schedule, the whole channel went down on my list of subs, and this video didn't even show up in my feed since it was uploaded

[masonsimmons]

1:01:20 what if the black bishop sacks on h2 with check? Looks like almost forced take & then if king takes back knight f5 is a fork & wins the rook attacking the queen

[davidheath]

Very interesting and instructive analysis. Thank you for taking the time.

[EnglishroG]

Thanks for an epic and very entertaining and informative post. Really enjoyed this.

[SEAKPhotog]

Wow, Eric, all your games notated in a study? Very cool! Thank you!

[twiddlinbits]

H3. That's some deep prep. He took into account that the move H3 had recently caused you a good deal of discomfort.

[jimhenderson]

You played a good tournament! As someone who tends to tear his hair out when he loses, I appreciate your equanimity and good sportsmanship.

[Lothar]

This is great, I wish you did more videos like this!

[HoloDaWisewolf]

Oh my, this will take me a while. Glad you're back, and hope you're doing fine!

[Pistis]

That first London game was super instructive. I feel like I play against black with that exact development but the delay castling to push the h and g pawns is a great plan
