  • In this Beginner to Master Speedrun Series, I try to climb the rating ladder while providing lots lessons about chess along the way. In this episode, I play 3 instructive games, all of which feature me trying to punish openings in which my opponents bring out their queen early.

    The biggest thing I’ve learnt from this speed run is that 600s can actually play chess! I’d kind of thought everyone below maybe 900 are just hanging pieces left right and centre but these games have actually been something!

    • @dhochee
      @dhochee Před 2 měsíci +1

      It was crazy that a 600 player almost had Rosen in a difficult situation. I've had many similar experiences against friends who aren't as strong as me, but I'm no master. Kinda refreshing to see that happen even with such a giant disparity in strength. :D

    • @TheeChosenWon

      I usually set up my moves to try to cut off areas for my opponents king to get a clean checkmate like what he did with the pawn and two rooks. But I’ve never thought to do that against the enemies queen. Truly a diabolical move. Eric is a real life villain on the chess board 🦹‍♂️♟️

Unlike others who thinks their viewers are all prodigies, you don't always tell your viewers to memorise the moves instead you tell them how to think and approach and give them ideas. I'm learning a lot from you and my elo has started improving.

    @usageunit Před 6 měsíci +3

    I play this Wayward Queen on my "for fun" account, and it still plays surprisingly well at a ~1600 level. Of course you get no scholar's mates, but the queen has nice pressure on the center thruout the middlegame, and black's bishop on g7 is just staring at the e5 pawn not doing much. On the other hand, white has to develop the knight to e2 where it has no prospects with f4 and d4 being covered. It's fun to play for a change of pace.

    Loving this Series. These types of speedruns are the most educational, especially for those of us under 1800ish I think. I'm stuck between 1250 and 1400ish, mostly due to my lack of patience at times. Sometimes I really want to play and can't and often when I can play I am not in the best condition to concentrate. Chess is HARD.
    For those of you wanting more of this Alessia Santeramo did one of these recently and it is very similar and fun to watch too. I'm addicted to this format.

    14:35 A good example of where simply counting attackers vs defenders doesn’t work. White has two defenders of f2 and black has 2 attackers so a simple count says you can’t take. But white can’t take back first with the king; it would have to be with the queen, then black would take the queen and white would only get two minor pieces for the queen and pawn.

    I like how you explain slowly. I'm new and some experts explain so quickly that I have a hard time following

    The scholar's mate is so common
    I like to remember the move order pawn knight pawn queen.
    Instead of developing the knight on forth turn induce the trade of queens to develop knight on the retake.

    Even against 600 rated player and only for demonstration in a video, you still see the flash of pleasure on his face when he wins.

    For the people talking about the speed of the speedrun, think of how many years of chess it takes to get as good as Eric or Danya or whoever and compare that to how quickly the account is getting ELO. I don't know ages, but imagine it took 20 years to get where they are today and compare that to how fast they hit around their current ELO. Even if it takes a year it's still WAY faster than the first go around haha

      as a long time danya viewer I've always thought this, it would be like completing a 20 hour game in 15 minutes but people saying it's not a speedrun because the world record is 5 minutes

    Eric with his 2400 rating thinks through moves that I, a 1200 player just moves on without much thought.
