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.

    Really enjoying you taking the time at the lower levels. I can get kinda anxious when facing these wayward queen attacks, it's nice to know there's always a way out.
  • @milesmembreno456
    More instructive than any other videos I've watched. Eric has a gift for making basic principles intuitive and applicable to games with complex positions. Cheers mate.
  • @torenjensen
    Huge fan of this series! Thanks so much for doing this.
  • @bluemanmage605
    I appreciate the way you boil the opening down to just “following basic principles” rather than saying you’re doing whatever the specific name of that opening is
  • @johnchessant3012
    28:45 "my opponent's profile picture kinda summarized the situation they were in" lmao Eric's savagery is why I watch
  • @ramachandra776
    The baby Rosen pic is so disarming that opponents will be lulled into thinking they are playing a baby with 600 elo but to their horror realise that it is someone who shows no mercy . 😊
  • Hikaru speedrun: 1-minute bullet games that take him from 0 to 3000 in about an hour. Eric speedrun: 10-minute rapid games that take him from 200 to 700 in about two weeks.
  • This is a great series, not missing an episode. Wish they came out daily
  • @nicholasbunio
    loving this content! Even if it’s a “slow run” it’s better. Love the explanations. Very helpful for us beginners ;)
  • @George_Bland
    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!
  • The decoy bishop is a move that I never would have thought of as a beginner hovering around 600-700. The queen pin with the hanging bishop that creates a triple fork is just so nice haha, thank you for the other tactics as well.
  • @justpressplaynyc
    Eric, this Speedrun series, compared to any other video, or book, lesson etc. has been the single most helpful, practical and educational tool I’ve encountered to get better at chess. I live for these videos. Thank you! Praise baby Rosen (and big Rosen too)!
  • @agamprasai2720
    Yes! When Mr. Rosen is the one teaching, there are a lot of lessons one can learn. Really enjoyed watching. And hey I learned something new. I will try using the decoy tactic more often in my games. I also liked watching your video because it didn't overwhelm us with excessive information. Just the right amount of information. Now, I will go catch up on the other episodes. YAY!
  • @piousheart
    It's a speedrun because normally going from 400 ELO to 2500+ takes decades!
  • @hotdogontology
    I appreciate your patient, calm, and detailed explanations in these videos.
  • SUCH a great series! A little something for everyone! Love hearing you talk through the positions I'm frequently in.
  • @jaggy-snake
    Just took up Chess again and can honestly say this series is probably the best tutorial I have seen. Thank you 🙏🏻
  • @ergusto
    This was a great format. Best chess channel on YT by far, keep doing what you do!
  • @1a1u0g9t4s2u
    Watching your videos is really starting to organize my memory cells and thinking. I am starting to see the moves you make or at least comment on before taking a more tactical move. Thanks for sharing.
