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:
Filipino chess player here??
I've been wondering if Eric spends much time on r/AnarchyChess. That response to the Home by Phillip Phillips question said it all.
3:52 PogU he said the thing thing
11:40 knight a7??? Might be better
Am I right in thinking the correct move instead of 10… a6 was 10… Qd5?
It's kind of weird how all GMs are always like "I am showing no mercy" when they play down.. like, is it some ego thing with chess?
Thanks Eric for teaching
19:24 killed me lmao
Please teach David Pakman the mid and end game so he can make it a more interesting quarter final instead of being trashed by Forsen
At 9:00, why wouldn't you move the queen to F3? Would keep an extra attacker on the knight, and also a defender on the dark square bishop.
18:15 Pogchamps2 ^_^
for once i’m in the first 50 comments : o
"Probly the E pawn, right? E for Eric? So I'll just have to live with the D pawn for now; change my name to Derek." I laughed way too hard at this.
I love these types of videos, Eric – thanks!
Opponent: *blunders a pawn, a rook, and a knight out of the opening
Eric: "I actually expected my opponent to be worse"
11:34 Ahh we almost had a chance to witness Eric playing Botez Gambit
8:00 if Bd5, what will white do
Oh so cool!
GG Eric, I was hoping to at least make you think a bit harder, but oh well … haha.
Bishop D5 5:10 black side, would it have been a good move since it will trap the rook and attack the queen at the same time?
1:27 5d chess be like
This is great inspiration to play the ponziani! 1:51
"Almost a wooden shield " Now where have I heard that before 3:52 😉
What is that tea you drink so much Eric? I'll get some for me and maybe my concentration will improve😂
LiChess is "Libre"? Huh
I am earlyyyy
What is the stream schedule?
3 Months? Seriously..? At 3 months I only learnt how pieces move and castling. This looks more like 1 to 2 years of regular play!
Pawnziani
Impressive how Eric manages to keep his king safe in the centre of the board
That game took forever
2:30 An anti-Finegold position where f6 is the best move!!
In 2:33 I think Nf6 is also a good option for black
3:17 Nxc6 was obviously better than Bb5. 🤨
You're one of the 4 people on YouTube I have notifications for and you never disappoint. Look forward to watching.
i am kinda late :C sorry eric i have failed you once again
E pawn for Eric XD
13th comment
Whenever Eric takes a sip, you know something's gonna go down…
I'm here early 💝💝
Eric "I'm gonna show no mercy" rosen
Eric when will you arrange a tournament for YouTube viewers?
4:46 Does chess improve concentration? No, I've just got distracted because I saw this video get uploaded 😉
Nice video
Early
Rock shift for the lift

Oh boi new video
1st lol
I’ll never understand why all these chess YouTubers consider people higher than 1000 “beginners”. You are not a beginner if you’re over a 1000, beginner is like 500
At 12:13 why he doesn't took the bishop?
it would have been way cooler if the dude had run out of time.
