  1. 3:17 black knew about the most basic rule of chess: If you take Eric's queen, you lose. Top tier acting!

  2. 5:35 Eric missed a fork of rook and king if he would have played pawn to c4

  3. My chess openings repertoire is really lacking since I'm just a casual player. As white, mainly Italian opening, Evan's gambit, Vienna and Italian game. As black, basically just the Caro-Kann only, all three major variations (advance, exchange, kaprov) and a little bit of slav. I need to just take an entire weekend and study more openings.

  4. I was "studying" the ponziani on lichess but I couldn't get a game where I could play it. Just finally got a game with it and they played into a trap. AWESOME 😎👍

  5. Realizing you hung a queen. 😨 The sigh of relief when your opponent doesn't see it. 🤗😂

  6. I was wondering why you didn't check with dark bishop when you messed up queen. Love your videos.

  7. This reminds me a lot of the opera game. Obviously not structurally really (except that bit where the ohnomyqueen would have resulted perfectly in opera mate lol) but I mean more, like, in beauty and ~ v i b e ~
