    Every time after Eric's videos I go into the next game full of confidence only to realize that unfortunately I only play like his opponents in the video
  • @mikemartin5340
    I cannot believe betterhelp survived the YouTube PR disaster in… 2017? And is back for more! Truly shocking
  • 5 years of regularly watching your content. You continue to be integral in both my enjoyment of and improvement in chess. Thank you so much, Eric!
  • @giggsy152
    Hey Eric. I studied the nc3, nxd4, bf4 lines of the ponziani. Come back down to 1400 to fight me like a real man.
  • @Overhemd
    Eric please terminate the sponsorship contract with BetterHelp, you're better than this
  • @Timeticker
    I hate Knights with a passion. These things can mess up everything if you are not careful in the endgame. On the other hand, I love them for this reason X-)
  • Great installment to this series. That last guy played you very well. Love seeing the higher rated opponents hang on.
  • @randomizednamme
    Really do not vibe with the betterhelp sponsorships. I appreciate what you’re saying and encouraging people to seek help but they are terrible.
  • @kshoggi
    120 games without a time-waster or cheater is pretty unbelievable...
  • @nicomolina
    19:07 I'm recovering from a broken rib and this man makes me laughing until it hurts 😂 canibalise my pawn
  • @jordylont1879
    Not to derail this entire comment section or anything but BetterHelp is a terrible company
  • @ruthxk7844
    16:24 hahaha, I play that sometimes when I am tired of playing the 4 knights 🤣
  • Psychologically, escaping a fork only to fall into a second fork is devastating. I don't think you can underestimate the psychological effect on a human player.
