GM Eric's 1.e4 Speedrun | 400-600 

spent the first 5 minutes trying to find the time control

I'm going to play aggressive. 500-level player: hold my beer.

That 500 was impressive

I love these speed runs. Keep em coming Eric!

I'm 55 years old... ..so Maybe it's okay for me to say that I am EXTREMELY PROUD of You and Aman and the Whole TEAM ... ..the Chess World 🌍 has become Really Cool and Fascinating and honestly SOLACE Gifting of late... and you guys are on the cutting edge of the ZEITGEIST ... just know that a huge number of people want you guys to be Wildly Successful.... p.s. when you or Aman lean into the Wholesome and Helpful Mentor Vibe... THAT is a Good Look!! That's pretty much how the world is Supposed to be... .. and WE AMERICANS still have so much to Learn from our Friends up North. God Bless that Canadian Vibe... CHESSBRAH, Second City et al

Chessbrah, “ I wanna Smurf but not break the rules… let’s call it a 1.e4 speed-run” 😅

This is exactly what I needed right now. I rewatched your old Blitz Speedruns like 3 times😂❤

Thanks for another speedrun. Was waiting for this and cant wait watching!

love it when eric does speedruns!! Thank you!!

Eric is the Eben Etzebeth of the chess world

Really love the speedruns! Thank you Eric

thnx for the speed run eric ! always enjoy the content

Thanks guys! Great show!

Love this series...keep them coming😂😂

About time Eric released a new speedrun ❤❤

Thanks for adding some romance to my life Eric.

Oh shit, didn't know Eric was a Eben fan.

Love the account name. He's arguably the greatest rugby in the world. Big ups from all your SA fans.

This is my speedrun omg, I've been speedrunning this same opening for a year and I'm still at 1200 🎉

I look forward to new Eric series more than I can comfortably explain to my family and friends.

I would like to see a speed run for u tube when you tell us which piece you are planning to move without it next placement in order for us to pause the video and guess the right move. Except when you're under time pressure, of course.

when was this recorded? 2022 or 2021?

Yesss, new speed run!

This should be called "making your opponents cry speed run" 😂

Ain’t no way you guys played the song again 😭 I been asking for this damn song at 4:19 for so long. If someone knows it, I’m giving you money idc. I need this song. Eric or aman for the one time please

Great speed run!

i love this chess channel

finally... new series new eric 😅😅

Our Brah is clearly rugby fan. Eben Etzebeth, the beast, the legend. :P

I'm 1800: I know this is aimed at lower levels, but 7:15 is so instructive. That'd pretty much be an automatic capture on b5 for me to win the pawn, but seeing the resulting position with the other capture is a really nice visual moment!

Wish List: 1) match Eric or Aman at the ~800/900 level 2) find the game on Chessbrah 3) Receive a comment from either stating “wow, that’s a really strong 800” A man can dream…😂

Does anyone know what track it is starting around 4:30?

I loved the no castle run bro, u should do it again man🔥🔥❤️

thanks ericccc !

like in the game of Paul Norphy against Guy WhoGotBrutallyCheckmatedByMorphy.

E4/F4 and E5/F5 speedrun would be fun

cool speedrun

This gonna be fun, learn from the pro

Bishop’s Gambit, please! e4 e5 f4 exf4 Bc4!! Favorite of legendary attacker, Judit Polgar!!

Where is Eric's another d6 speedrun with black😭

Eben as the symbol of "romantic" chess 😂

2:11 Lol "no ! Not king g3"

I noticed 500 to 700 rated players on blitz are actually pretty strong. Definitely stronger than rapid

18:53 am I watching Eric Rosen or Eric Hansen? I’m confused

Funny how they attack Rambo style one against the whole army and then scratching their heads.😅 cool anf funny video Eric

The intro had me thinking that Eric was grounded and was going to have to do the series from his room. This will be excellent either way!

Kramnik watching for 500 Elo 😂

These speedruns are great, get to learn opening ideas without buying a chess course

Babe, wake up! E4 speed run just dropped.

I wish I heard the original with swan lake

Underdog? We gonna have chess bestball soon? 🤣

Interesting to see e4, i stopped playing that years ago as I really enjoy d4. The other thing I've noticed is that elo has changed an old 800 elo is like 600 now. Either that or I just suck lol

Love the name.....RWC champions...bokke🎉

Does anyone know 0:55 song ?

This song was amazing the first time I heard it and now I feel like I am going crazy. editors pls let’s get something new up in here

Music playlist pls!!

Please between the 1100-1700 range, some vienna.

Eben Etzebeth.... yeah! best rugby team in the world

Moar Danish!

Tell us the name of the first song ffs!

the best opening 🗿🗿

10:24 Aman would have played Qg7 instead of Qf7. 😅

Thumbs up! I just subscribed. I like this. Explains everything. Especially since the only thing I know how to play as white is Danish and Smith-n-Mora. And some kind of trick when they go Scandi. And some form of Tal when they go Carrot Can. But still trying to figure out how it works. And also still trying to figure out what to do against French. As black I play Carrot Can and Benoni.

Chessbrah speedruns > Sex (whatever that is)

Who the hell was that 500? no way that the real rating. Like he had some sharp moves and then even his really bad blunders had a lot of good logic behind the intention

Aw man no more no castling?😢

An Argentine being the best as always

27:10 re1 is winning here, no?

Hello GM handsome ☺️

The first 3 guys were actually good, they should not be 500😂

Your nickname sounds awfully lewd in Russian. I like that.

I am HYPE love the speedrun series

Eric’s gone out of ideas 😂😂

Kind of like Khabib taking on a white belt

That f3 move by the 500 was absolutely bizarre lol, I don't think I would ever play that move. Qe2 Qe7 did pop up on my radar but I thought it looked too absurd that I discarded it right away...these 500s are not messin around

Nice, 1. e4. DO support these guys.

"Romantic chess" I see Witty_Alien influence here 👀

Noooo, no more disgusting green board theme. If you have any aesthetic sense at all, you'll change it to a normal color that doesn't look like regurgitated peas.

Na, no difference in skill, so far you've gotten to the 2200s anyone below is a piece of cake

Eric you play many different openings. Novice need to remember some one opening in one time i think

Where's the time tho :(

As much as I enjoy watching grandmasters trash beginners, I prefer it revolve around around a specific opening so I can learn to use that opening at different levels. E4 just too general.

Finally u learned a good move fool not playing with increment it's like u h8 chess daddy Fischer to Eric Zoomer 11:30 boring techno is classical music ok to preface this last bit of this roast: both candidates of the upcoming Presidential election are bad / old...and I cope with this by ignoring them to the best of my ability. u have a personality very similar to that of Donald Trump 🔥🔥🔥🔥 ez ty

Bro doesn’t know what a speedrun is

You "speedrun" like an old lady... Speed RUM my ok.

Its just not fun seeing a GM destroy 400-600 rated playeres

13:31 most boring king's gambit game

First time watching but bailed out after seconds due to the insufferable music.

I do like a nice Danish, especially with a coffee. 🫣
