Punishing Beginner Mistakes | Ponziani Opening
Watch live on Twitch: — Follow to get notified when I go live!
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.

London Opening 8-hour video course:
Is this opening is good for beginners? As there are few developing moves and only attacks!
Damn he is a 1500 and has been playing for 3 months? I started playing this week and im a rookie 800. Is it normal to get up to a 1500 so quickly?
Does chess improve concentration?
No
Concentration improves chess
Am I wrong or did Eric make a mistake at 4:10 seconds?
What if black played bishop d5…
Qc1. Can you castle when in check?
You mean its not "Long Island Chess"? 😉
2:00 "I had this position in a tournament game, against Sam …."
How does Eric remember that!!!?!?!
At 9:39 couldnt have white played ba6 and worked the queen to back rank? That couldve been mate in 3 if whites knight was still on e5 and black took bishop on a6 with pawn.
Eric I love your videos keep it going. Im learning so much. I hate to take it for free but im not so rich to afford lessons like this so im very grateful for u posting it up on youtube. Your not boring or prideful I could listen to you for hours. The reason I like you is because of your humbleness and you have humility, you dont hide your bad games. Thank you for teaching us all that you know because i dont think you will live till i reach even 2000. God bless you.
this is really the thing about playing against a high-level opponent: you make one slight slip up and they capitalize on it and exert their will on you.
I watched like ten ads bro like go easy
Did someone notice his typing speed।😅
Very very impressive, I've been playing for more than 30 years and I would've lost that game the the "newbie".
Talking about concentration, 2 min later Googling pronunciation of lichess xD
if there was one thing i learned from this video, its how to pronounce lichess
So mad when you say "punishing" beginner mistakes
I've been playing for 3 years and that 3 month person is better than me🤔
11:07 just put the horse in the a-7 then its check mate
19:40 Derrick Rose(n)
I thought the Li was for Ding -Li-ren. For some reason. Never bothered checking.
"I'd say sleep (and exercise and diet) are probably the most important things for concentration."
…
"yeah it's 2:30am for me here"
I thought it was called lichess because Thibault used <li> tags to build the board/pieces. Did I hallucinate that?
I like how he calls them stream snipes
Does chess improve concentration?
"Uhh.." (Eric pauses to calculate his answer 12 deep)
"I guess…"
I just lost my shit at "change my name to deric" with that total straight face of his
Thank you for the video IM Deric Rosen
Too much adds cant watch
Gotta get that knight out earlier eric
Learn from Agadmator. Too much to unnecessary staff in ur videos.
how about Bd5 for black at 8:03
I actually laughed my ass of at 1:27
Prophylaxis is specifically disease prevention.
3:11 Engine has bishop A6 here! If black captures then you capture the knight, and the king is being chased all the way out into the center.
Too many ads
20:18
GG.
My favorite chess story from about 2005 or so. Two guys on a chess site didn’t care for each other. One of them complained and had in game chat shut off for other player.
There was a glitch at end of game and the silenced player was able to text “GG”
All Hell broke loose in the forum!
“I was personally attacked again after I had comments silenced for a certain player! Player was able to send message when they won!!!”
Only a week later did everyone find out that sinister Attack Message was just… GG.
It became the new forum attack for any debate. “GG!”
Good times.
10 minutes game… Boring… Cmon Play 3 as highest
@4:22 – What would be wrong to bring out the black a-pawn to get rid of the bishop?
on 11:38 why eat when you can just check on A7
10:23 bishop take pawn is a move which I will play in this position
Eric's voices like a villain
Qd7also helps defend the center.
Your swallowing is a draw back for me. Sorry, can’t watch something that bothers me that much… try a less sensitive mic pls
8:45 is Nf7 a good move? It attacks the 2 rooks and queen and bishop can capture queen so double attack on queen, but again I don't like trading queens as white
I love how "wooden shield" is an etablished chess term at this point.
22:10
was there a
c4 Qd6
e5! Trading 2 pawns for a piece?
"can you play home by phillip phillips"
I see that someone is a man of culture…
Eric casually taking with his viewers while making moves is just so badass no matter how I look at it
NO MERCY
He was up 21 points before checkmate and says good game lol
You fool! You fell victim to one of the classic blunders!
