GM Hansen's Hippo Speedrun | Part 10 

Wow the hippo speedrun never disappoints!

23:30 The inner speeddemon came out, what a save haha

Absolutely destroying opponents at the start haha

4:59 I think its funny that the guy didn't even actually save his queen

im not even big into chess content but this series is what im looking forrward to the most.

He is just tearing them up to start this episode lmao, offering less resistance than the lower elos

what's the two music playlists when eric plays the hippo speedrun and aman playing the english speedrun? LOVE THE TUNES!

I should be able to see that against the higher elo's the Hippo starts to show flaws, but i can't pinpoint what it is excactly what these higher elo's do differently (apart from NOT hanging their bishops on move 4 along side the diagonal) If possible Eric, can you do a follow up video on what it is these opponents do better than the lower ranked ones?

That queen sac and the disconnect was nice

1700-1900 elo hell once again proving to be real, i'm glad i'm a outta of this rating

47:00 any romanians willing to enrich our cursing vocabulary?

it isn't a hippo speedrun video if Eric doesn't miss a hanging piece

Thanks to you I got to 1200 Elo, just playing the hippo

10:11 I was happy to have seen the move. Lowkey I didn't even realize she was trapped, I just knew the knight would be safe on e6 and it would force the queen to move, allowing you to win the g pawn. I would have played it then been shocked at what I did lol

Sick wins. That last checkmate was unreal. I'm playing this at blitz 300 level and getting rage quits and blunders all day.

yo Eric cause of you i got to 1100 blitz rating from like the mid 900s with this opening. Love this series my man

where do you find these 1700s 1800s ?!??!?!? not what I get paired with

Eric is the Tony Hawk of the hippo

"Winner gets some powder". Does the loser get maple syrup?

Can't get enough of this speed run! I'm hanging for the next episode every single week

saw the queen trap before u. Made my day edit: and c5 too. Made my week already just climbed 100 points in bullet via hippo, love your speedrun

I still find it crazy that chessbrah hasn't grown as much as the rest of chess youtube during this chess boom and I wonder how related it is to the Hikaru copyright claims

whats docking? someone lift my aerial.

G. Diamond-In the area 10 mistakes/blunders-2800?-"Fairy Tales can come true, they can happen to you, .....?"

Gregory missed mate in 4 against Eric with the 2rooks and knight

These Hippo runs are always bangers!!! I love it

freaking great timing, I just opened the home page after finishing part 9. Good work brah.

Tactical mastery on display here. Down a full Rook, no f-ing problem. Wow!

I was waiting to see how the hippo held up against solid opponents.

any clenchers in the chat

this video series is great :)

@16:52 when the player moved the knight to e4 why he didn't take with the bishop but instead moved the pawn to h4?

I love it, i have really improved on chess especially after watching your series. i am so killing them.

28:00 i like your new opening "half hippo" i think i am going to try it everytime someone fianchettos their king bizhop

Gregory was using a bot and then started playing on his own later. Some obvious moves were too delayed.

hippo is frireey

eric likes MAXIMUM THE HORMONE😍😍😍

Seeing Eric getting through by the skin of his teeth against 1700s really puts it into perspective just how easy it is to play against the hippo at higher elos. Humble non GMs realllly going to struggle with this opening.

36:50 thanks now i see how to play after this blunder, i make this mistake alot.

Love the hippo speedrun but why is this footage from 12 months ago?

the guy playing the kid pushing e5 like theres a pawn break got me laughing

Eric ,of all the hippo speedruns, this was one was the most vicious gameplay seen by yourself. U r gobbling down the players as if they were 400 elo. I see the hippo.....i like...i try....i get screwed....the trick is to unleash the kings side fearlessly without cover.....u pawn n peice storm n they dont expect that or are not used to this kind of insanity.....i wish u could do the hippo against eric,aman, gotham chess,hikaru

Never heard the ketchup song must be a troll

lets hang our queen ... checkmate!!! hehehehe loveit!

if anyone know the name of the track at 5:00 please let me know

Wasn't Gregory diamond cheating?

42:07 Would the bishop sacrifice win?

this was some incredible chess!!!

Lol, when "docking" is explained in the chat.... "we're skipping that...." Bahahahaha

Is it just a coincidence that the hippopotamus is the (terrestrial) animal with the most powerful bite on earth?

MERCI infiniment pour vos vidéos

47:10 you don't want to know what he's saying. Let's just say it's not good.

Name of the first song if I may ask? :)

Gregory a fiend

Hate to be that guy, but you missed a free rook 23:11

The thumbnail is phenomenal 😂

I have only just realised that his account's profile picture is a hippo, not a squashed image of xQc

Anyone know the song at 25:53?

“Why are my opponents resigning?… Shame” 😂😂😂

Loving the series

Song at 35:00?

crab speedrun anytime soon?

34:00 never heard of that song? Whoa.

21:45

12:03 check wins a knight

you cant win playing the hippo against someone higher rated than u :(

What's the song at 49:00 ?

Oof those opponents are very good

Been loving theese, thanks Eric!

23:40 omg u genius 😭

hippo series, best series

God bless you Eric

Wow

elo heaven

yeahj!!!

Nice👍

Anyone who knows Romanian know what he said at 47:00?

41:48 what the fuck

Can you analyse my game? I have the black pieces. 1. e4 e5 2. Nf3 Nc6 3. Bc4 Nf6 4. Ng5 d5 5. exd5 Na5 6. Bb5+ c6 7. dxc6 bxc6 8. Bd3 Nd5 9. h4 h6 10. Qh5 Qf6 11. Ne4 Qe6 12. Ng5 Qf6 13. Ne4 Qe6 14.

20:48 I can't believe you played d5 here. Bxd5 is an instant reply even for a 1700.

First before Shakti

Seems like a pretty cool dude and a very strong player, but it's truly devastating how bad his taste in music is 🤦‍♂️

First!

Why are your's opponents so blundered? My opponens plays over 80-90% accuracy in 1200-1500 and almost not blundered. Why?

27:50 Eric doing a little Hiki impression but better because it’s more than just incoherent “takes takes takes takes”
