  <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aGFfKu6QTME&amp;t=1354">22:34</a> I’d love to see a “romantic chess” speedrun where the goal is not to play concretely but rather aesthetically.

  I love watching these speedruns to see the opponents go from confident and playing fast to, “uh oh I’m in trouble”

  &quot;Sometimes the point of chess is to create some beauty, and explore the unexplored territory&quot;<br><br>Well said Eric

  This is by far the most fascinating way of learning about chess moves and the various levels of expertise involved. The first thing I do everyday is look out for another speedrun episode. Absolutely love it!

  Watching these videos makes me reflect on my own behavior and that of other players in the 1000-2000 rating range. We often play quickly to avoid time pressure, but Eric takes his time as early as move 11 (in game 3), carefully considering all possible lines. His opponents in this series typically find themselves in a losing position before their clocks drop below 9 min. This really makes me think about how I should start approaching my games if I want to improve.
