In this video, I share my round 8 chess game from the 2024 Biel Chess Festival. The game featured a very rare variation against the Catalan Opening.

  • @AJD...
    The middle game was just beautifully done. Kudos Eric
  • @oliviapg
    Your opponent has incredible hair
  • @Rubrickety
    Nice win! The second half of that game had a lot of positions where I think Ben Finegold would say "If two engines are playing it's equal, with two humans black always wins".
  • @garys5175
    Great game Eric, glad to see you get the win!
  • @pabloalvarez1778
    I kinda get one of the "clear plans" once every 6 videos.... 😂
  • @EnglishroG
    Thanks very much Eric, and congratulations for an impressive win.
  • @RobDurham
    Solid win! Looks like you paced your time well and never gave him a chance to gain an advantage. Kudos!
  • @coltonward8592
    Eric! Idea for you. Can you have themed speedrun episodes after Switzerland? For example, for the next 5 episodes I’ll play the scotch with white and the Sicilian with black. Also since you’re into crazy gambits, have you seen the Cochrane variation of the petrov? It’s named after an ancestor of mine. Would like to see it at some point.
  • 16:10 White had b4 in that position... b4 would disrupt black's harmony on the queenside... If ...Nc4 Rxc4 looks good to me :) Better yet; Continuing with b5 threatens to break up the queenside...

    Best of luck tomorrow Eric! No need to say you played great since Stockfish already said it ;)
