Elevating Eric's ELO 

Just started the video and I'm imagining imminent IM improvement

As someone with severe anxiety, Eric's time management drives me crazy.

I just now discovered how good this sounds on the QC45's. Crazy good.

Eric: I'll play till I lose 1 more. Also Eric: *loses 1 more* "Soooo... I can't end with that..."

I love to watch these long instructive relatable videos and relax with Eric´s calm demeanor over losing or winning

The ATM anecdote was crazy. When a Spanish ATM ate my card I just had to go back during opening hours and identify myself with my passport to prove it was my card that they'd fished out of the back of the machine.

Watching Eric do puzzle rush blows my mind 🤯 I just can't believe how quickly he can read the position 🙌

Watching you play chat is fun. Might join Twitch, just to catch one of those.

You are a wholesome dude. I'm always sleeping to your voice.

32:20 darn it Eric! I was hoping for you to revisit if Rd1+ was playable but you just zoomed right on through the game 😭I basically always hope for you to check after the game when you're unsure of a position during a game so we can learn together. Oh well, what to do. Love you and your videos regardless

Congrats on 30k subs eric!

I love such video names

For the 3rd time ever (2nd?), I saw an error you were making before you said "blunder" (the knight move at about 47:30). I am about 1000 elo so... I was proud of myself!

Absolutely adore the apt alliteration

Now I can go sleep, thank you Eric!

You did it again today. Held out that bishop takr on b3 so long that you didnt get it

'Now my plan is... Probably just to cry.' feelz.

But can he sustain the thematic titles? 👀

master of chess and alliteration

you play especially inspired chess recently

I'm a big fan of 3-5 min games. Thanks!

not me calmly repeating the words 'take the bishop' every 5 seconds at 6:25

Running against the clock (without increment) doesn't feel like chess, rather entirely different kind of a game.

Why do you always say the knights are superfluous?? Doesn't that mean excessively unnecessary? Or am I wrong? Not trying to have a dig just wondering if my understanding is wrong?

I like playing the Bird-Larsen.

Raising Rosen's R--Elo

early birds unite

games vs chat are fun

Hey can you invent a Bob Ross Gambit ?

Eric's rating has been 2700 and then over January fell.

Please don't write Elo in all caps. It's not an acronym, it's named after the inventor. Yes, there is an acronym ELO, but that's a rock band.

42:27 When I look at his lichess profile, it doesn't show me the worst rated defeats. Does anyone know how Eric managed to loose to some beginners?

Nice, Speak spanish very well.

What kind of a doofus Chat _resigns_ a few moves into a game? What, you guys didn't want to play Eric? Then why did you sign up?

Wtf is going on

:D
