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:
I just got a AD for this exact game before this Video.
I can just imagine that the other guy playing is super focused, dripping sweat, smoke coming out of his ears as he tries to find the absolute perfect next move… And dude here is just sipping tea, talking about life. Lol
The queen at 5:07 if we move the pawn from e4 to f3 will it be a good move? As it will be forcing a checkmate while still pinning the knight
7 33 knight f8 no ?
honestly think that he should've mooved qeen to f3 at 9:00 cause that would retain pressure without risking the queen and rendering the pawn deffense useless
Opponent: he's thinking about his next move
Eric : lichess , leeeeeeeeeechesss
6:52
Hi Eric. Great content. I have been following for a while. thank you.
I got a question – What software do you use to study or even here in your videos ? I like how you draw all the arrows and stuff? then the analysis and the feature of showing the best moves … What softare is this?? I tried lichess but doesn't seem to provide those features.
What chess app is that?
The LORD is my rock, my fortress and my deliverer; my God is my rock, in whom I take refuge. He is my shield and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold. I call to the LORD, who is worthy of praise, and I am saved from my enemies
you remind me of the DigitalHypno of chess.
You look a lot like a young Kasparov
20:41 👴🏻
But why not the pawn fork?, 7 minutes 23 sec, btw now i know because bishop lol
At 5:10 I think black needs to sac his queen
9:55 im the type of player who couldnt resist bishop a6 and the check with the queen
At 5:13 why didn't the opponent put the queen at D5 he attacks the bishop/a queen exchange which will help him release the pressure from the middle/if ge didn't do a queen exchange he can attack the rook
What about last move Queen to a8
He talks to much!! Just play chess!!!
13 why dosent he take bishops black?
At 7:52 why did you not move your knight to fork the queen and both rooks? Seemed better?
please teach me
Oh no my mercy
Lichess
In honor of great master Bruce Li
11:40 if the opponent would have taken your knight with his rook instead with his bishop, you would have lost your queen, is that correct?
Is this an Algorand cup?
What chess software/website is being used here?
9:08 queen f3. isnt that a better move.? to keep the attack on the horse
You missed a free bishop
That nf3 on move 16 was awesome, I was expecting O-O-O to move the king out of the center and defend the knight with the rook, but just moving the knight like that to both defend the d2 square he was on while simultaneously attacking the bishop was just amazing
Rated over 1500 n played for only 3 months.. I doubt that completely
I am excited by chess but your voice manages to make me bored…
Eric is a man who is in a natural high. There are people born like that man! Let's call 'em 'Zen Men'
all moves are blunder at 999 depth
me being a begginer sipping my tea in my eric rosen mug
14:07 Can someone explain why he took the queen with another queen instead of castling?
What rating were you by freshman year of high school?
9:09
1:40
0:44
at 7:25, can you go knight F7?
What opening is he referring to with the line where black sacrifices everything
your voice is so nice and calming oahhh😍
Woah
U miss the Knight checkmate with the Bishop
This was a very complex and beautiful game
"I have to be careful what I say in the past" 🤣
Bd7 would have been a stylish mate 🙂
At 21:43 in the game review. Move 7 Qxe4-black to move. When this happened in the game, my initial instinct was Qd5. Offer the queen trade with eyes on Qxg2 if the trade is declined. Queen trade is good for black here, I think. Did I miss something?
He’s rather condescending at the beginning, knowing he’s playing a beginner and talking about punishing him. Then he realizes the guy isn’t so much of a novice.
Dude it's annoying to hear you swallow in the audio. Jfc.
