    • @lucasmatsuoca
      @lucasmatsuoca Před 10 měsíci

      He DEFINETELY, didn't have a "normal benoni", benoni is already dubious and he wasted moves. Qc7 is a completely useless move for benoni strucucture before the exd trade, not to mention e5, he played e6 to play e5 later, not to mention that you're suppose to have a piece on e5, not a pawn, in typical benoni strucutre, if you want e5, you play it in one move and go for different plans, he lost 2 tempi in a dubious opening, wouldn't be surprised if engine gives +2 or even more after e5 .
      To me, not hangging a piece but getting a completely strategically lost position out of the opening is basically the same thing.

      later Eric got excited and blunder because the queen was not actually getting trapped, but still, i don't think it's the 1300's guy merit, he just got lucky cause Eric miss calculated and i'm sure the guy didn't calculate all the way through . Anyway, i'm not trying to trash the guy, just saying it was a normal game for a 1300.

      It's slang. A crib is a bed for babies, but in the 90s rappers started calling their homes "the crib" and it caught on to the point that it became pretty regularly used. MTV has a show doing tours of celebrity's houses, and the name of the show is "MTV Cribs." It got pervasive and over-used.

  • @ylnysanchez3859

    In the third game, when Rosen is about to castle, he wonders if he should worry about the greek gift, wich prompted me to analyze the position and yes, he should have worried more. After the bishop sac, the best defense from black is to actually trade the queen with the knight. But there's some other line that gets more complex and is probably not as devastating when your opponent is human rather than stockfish.

    I just realized there's a whole extra level to playing Eric, psychologically. Eric's opponents always have to wonder "is he gonna play super aggressive, or his more normal and solid style?" which must make him really difficult to prepare for.
