30:00 It's called the Greek gift in reference to the Trojan horse.
-
0:07 If Eric had clapped just one more time, we would have had to invoke Family Settings.
-
Eric dropping episodes faster than im dropping blitz rating!
-
"Let me clap and I'll undress," great spicy magic trick eric :)
-
1453 is when Constantinople fell. Coincidence...? Yes.
-
That transition was chef kiss
-
Amazing how quickly the threats overwhelmed white starting at 24:20. Very instructive!
-
This is my favourite series on Youtube
-
Timeo Danaos et dona ferentes - beware of Greeks bearing gifts. As others have mentioned it's a reference to the Trojan horse.
-
Eric, your sharing of your thought process is the power behind the glue that makes this series absolute award-winning! I've carefully reviewed comments with my likes pined to every episode, and I find this fact to be universal with your entire audience! Such a winning formula #1. Mucho Thanks Always. Mike.
-
Omg this serie is getting better and better Big up to mr Rosen thank you for sharing your thoughts with us we are improving thanks to you❤
-
a few episodes earlier you asked how many episodes the viwer watched from the series, but i was occupied by my doggo... so now here i am, telling to you and everyone: when i realized you have a series like this, i started from ep1, and still going trough it. for everyone there are a lot to learn even from the begining. thank you for the previous and the forthcoming lessons.
-
In the last game, after dxe5, black has the very nasty nc5 - counterattacking the bishop and threatening to take with check. Crazy how there's often a hidden defensive resource with the Greek gift.
-
Eric I just wanted to thank you for being and inspiration to me. In one day of watching your videos I started beating higher ranking opponents than me. Appreciate you Eric.
-
I believe the bishop goes first because the Trojan Horse was a religious offering. First the excuse, then the gift, then the hard fall of the sword
-
I'm in the sad part of my chess journey where for some reason I'm just not able to climb to master as fast as Eric.
-
One of, if not the, most valuable chess teaching series on YouTube. Another amazing episode.
-
hands down the best chess guy on youtube for explaining moves etc
-
As of the start of this video you have officially surpassed my all time peak rapid rating, without losing a single game. I am officially quitting. :P

This Greek gift goes back to the war between Greek and Trojan , when the Greek give them a horse as gift and the Trojan accepted this gift but there were Greek's soldiers in the horse that caused the gate of city open to the Greek troops which leads to conquest the city by Greek.
