Punishing Beginner Mistakes | Ponziani Opening

In this video I play a rapid chess game against fellow Twitch Streamer vengaard_live () who is a relatively new to chess— only been playing for ~3 months! In the game, I unleash the Ponziani Opening and proceed to show no mercy. I hope this game provides some instructional value when it comes to exploiting common beginner mistakes and using basic tactics to seize the advantage. Towards the end of the game (once I achieved a decisive material advantage) I put more of my focus towards answering various questions from the Twitch Chat. After the game, I provide some basic tips and advice and show how black could have improve the opening play against the Ponziani.

    Just started playing and I find watching you play chess so relaxing 😌

    Blacks blunder with pawn A6 is a waste of a move. when he could of done knight from E7 to knight G6 attacking your dark square bishop. He could of also sacrificed his knights by going knight C6 takes on D4 then recapturing with his queen. putting queen into a better square

    “im up a rook and a knight, so life is good”

    Sorry for my bad chess knowledge but at 3:25 couldn’t black just have moved his queen to the black square in front of his king and then castle?

    Why so many ads.. that just make me leave an interresting video

    Me (Beginner): Movin a pown 2 steps

    Gm: hes traying the harscan taktic on me

    Gm: No way he switched from harscan tactic to the dubbel pown menuever

    Me: who has no idea What i did feeling my self

    That dude is working really har while he is talking about high school

    Hello Eric Uncle, I am Cyrus a 7 year old kid.I am watching your games and videos frequently , and learning a lot new things.I am looking for one clarification from you, will you be able to help me. I am trying to find out , how uncle set up the rectangle in the bottom left corner of lichess board with text ' press <enter> to focus.I tried to add such box in my lichess profile, however unable to trace the setting option.Can you help me to find the option for that.Thanks in advance.

    This man talking waak all I know about chess is from third grade and Highschool DxD

    At 5:07, would pawn to f5 been a good move? That’s probably what I would have done but…I don’t play chess.

    Edit: Ok so he does it later when it still matters, but would it still have been a good move earlier?

    Kudos to playing seriously and commenting on ur game at the same time… This is way harder than it looks.

    How would you have responded to 7… Ld5?

    Two things Eric,
    1. Turn your mic down. I’ll never watch this channel again because I hate to hear you swallow shit.
    2. If you’re drinking tea that is not an herbal tea, you should remove the bag after 40 seconds. Set the bag aside, then resteep it again after you finish your first cup. Teabags are and inferior way to drink tea, but if you’re going to do so, you should do it correctly.

    Good game though, even though I wanted to mute you the whole time.

    ERIC!!!!! At 7:31 why didnt you use your knight to take pawn and pressure queen/rook taking the rook for free…can you explain for me???

    When the enemy queen becomes open to an attack, ur next move is obvious

    U launch a RT-2PM2 TOPOL-M cold-launched three-stage solid-propellant silo-based ballistic missile

    I am not trying to grow my channel. But i wish you guyzz watch channel and get new ideas and learn new tips

    sleep, diet, and exercise, and discipline…is better for concentration

    chad statement

    play with GM….not beginners….Playing with GM makes the position so complicated…..that makes chess the blood of war….

    I have a question at 8:59 , why Qe2 and why not Qe3 ?
    Can you please help me ?

    11:40 idk, was it better to play knight on a7 check? so he was forced to move the king and had no defend on rook take

    eric: its not lee chess
    youtube video: leeeeeee chess

    Hey Eric, most streamers on twitch employee a editor to upload stuff from the stream, I think you are significantly big enough to explore this. I can only imagine it’s like having 2 full time jobs

    don't think i'm a stupid, but i can really see your inner child into your eyes, your passion is so true people cannot resist it, you're just adorable while you play chess :*

    I have a question. Why do people down thumb a video instead of stop watching it? I think this is definitely worth a "like".

    He says it's 2:12 am for him while I'm watching this at 2:29 am

    I love how the wooden shield is now just a normal chess term for streamers

    Loved your videos! Keep sharing 🙂

    At 11:42, if opponent had taken your knight with his rook, you would have lost your queen😂
