"When you see a mate in 1... you look for better" Wise words

[@mateah83]

I remember a year ago when I first started hearing that phrase I just assumed it was nonsensical but witty play on words, but then months later one day I suddenly realize that it actually means exactly what it means on the surface lol and now I laugh to myself every time I hear it cause its so obvious that it means what I know it means now and not what I thought it meant 😂

[@chriskeith5742]

Mate in zero happens when your opponent realizes you have mate in 1 and just quits.

[@Neodynium.the_permanent_magnet]

@@chriskeith5742 Mate in zero is when you have a mate in 1, but you are flagged just before delivery

[@AngerProblems]

Eric may be higher rated, and I certainly love him to death, but there is something so charismatic about Aman teaching me how to play chess. I don't think Chessbrah would be the same without him. O Canada from Ontario homie.

[@TheReddaredevil223]

Yeah I wouldn't think an extra 150-200 elo points would just automatically make you a better chess teacher

[@hypekillacsplaya]

agreed, everyone has their own gifts in life we must accept. We can agree that, if Eric had never started chessbrah, you would never seen Aman teaching you chess online, thats a possibility.

[@Ermagerd2000]

"We can't leave everyone like that!" Leaves everyone like that

[@igpetrov5303]

The coolest thing I've learned here is the idea of trading the right color bishop depending on the pawn structure. Also if you have a knight versus bishop - how to oppose the bishop by controling it's squares. Those things were also shown in the context of creating outpost for the right pieces that you want to keep on the board. So in short - knowing which pieces to trade and creating the best squares for them to land on.

[@ironsquid1972]

Did anyone else go thru a very confusing period when they thought Chessbrah was just one person?

[@u_mage]

like a jekyll and hyde situation?

[@JOZoSo.]

No, just you

[@TheBlueSkateboard]

Yeah, but for like 4 days back in 2020. The first time I saw an Aman video I was like who's this impostor I want Eric to come back 😂

[@TheBlueSkateboard]

I also thought it was a cheeky reference to "ChestBrah", Zyzz's brother. Maybe it is 🤷

[@keeganhall9894]

Lmao yes i found the channel watching a series Eric did and then went looking for other vids and was like who is this aman guy but i love both now. They both have their own humor

[@iAmUzaar]

Yesssss, please keep these coming Aman. I could watch you play the French for hours

[@civilbeard]

Aman is hilarious! 😆 Consistently cracking me up in these videos.

[@ironwithinironwithout1119]

21:20 game is classic. Great laughs.... Ow but my bishop is attacked, dammit

[@miste.remusic]

49:34 surprisingly helpful situation

[@TheMosayat]

That knight-bishop checkmate was the most disrespect I've ever seen 😂

[@xn4pl]

I would definitely report cheating if I got checkmated with a knight and a bishop by 1000 elo player, especially if they were premoving it.

[@sofiana580]

Ok but every time I want to report someone I look at their profile and his profile says “authorised speed run account of GM a man hambleton”

[@leopshef]

I don't think cheaters premove, like ... that'd be some seriously strong chest

[@leopshef]

Cheat*

[@leopshef]

Also I'm 1000 rated and I can (sometimes) checkmate with knight and bishop in rapid 😅

[@Truffle_Pup]

When's the Taimanov SR dropping? That was brilliant, but I cba going back through all the VODs to find them they're all like 6 hours long.

[@tkr23zp]

does anyone know the music that plays in the beginning of the video? rlly helps out a lot thx

[@GC0B]

I love to see Aman play against people from my ELO and predict how we play soooo easily. Thanks for all the tips and tricks, and for the though process ^^ really helpful.

[@shaunmaslen4876]

Will someone please tell me the name if the song at the start of the video PLEASE!

[@Ajani413]

That bishop mate on c2 was awesome. Great example of a deflection tactic

[@worldwarwang]

You just know that one dude is smashing his keyboard after getting with a bishop. Unreal.

[@34_Hour_Reset]

Aman please showcase the exchange line Bd6, Ne7, BF5, trading the light squared bishops. My go to system Edit: I finished the video and saw that you do in fact show case my line, I don’t know why I ever doubted you

[@faznaz7455]

I didn’t know it was a known line yet i always play this haha

[@TopG-x9r]

I know this question is dumb but still. How does he always have the black pieces ? Abort ?

[@ScotchGambino]

That poor Norwegian might think twice about taking pawns. Classic Aman in that game.

[@curiocurioso1740]

Thanks

[@miste.remusic]

44:14 😂😂

[@Cjloken]

I can’t believe that poor kid thought he was gonna be able to castle Hahah

[@carmenconry4227]

he didnt give us another :(

[@Chris.4345]

Comment for the algo

[@Neodynium.the_permanent_magnet]

What did I learn? I can only play the French, all the time

[@sirussq]

Your explanation of your thought process and sense of humour is awesome …..love to watch you play in the speed runs Aman

[@jongalt6837]

44:26 if you want to win the smoothest just trade rooks... for no rook. of. your. own.. lol, that was a classic.

[@34_Hour_Reset]

My favorite black opening, age 9-32 and still going. So happy to see a speed run, this may be the only one out there to date

[@KreatorX1029]

To be able to play to showcase beautiful positions in the most humorous way is something only this brah could do…this stuff is more entertaining than any tv show XD

[@itzloucal1487]

What's the first song track ID? I looked through all the Spotify playlist and couldn't find it 😭

[@bertrandbuasri3064]

Vive la France !😀😀

[@pbo8896]

Can u pls put the song names in the bio or something they are awesome!!!!

[@Celezter]

Lmao the name of his account means strong boy in Icelandic 😂

[@hugopenner4436]

The bishop k.o. was absoluty filthy

[@mpavadiaz1]

great series. really good content. Hoping to see once you get to my level at 1300.

[@haeschensk8er]

The win at 21:00 was simply beautiful. Deflecting the Knight like that 🤌

[@mofe620]

It was filthy 😭

[@tobias2252]

My man DUGY3133 at 44:38 has studied the "Rapport random BS" file in depth.

[@robinelfstrom]

28:54 Just keep the pawns for one move!!! 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 gotta love Aman!

[@thetransferaccount4586]

these frenchers are coming

[@PiercingSight]

The french is really weird because it constantly feels like black is positionally crushed in most normal positions. Knowing the right way to sneak out of those closed positions is tough for me.

[@sazaam]

brah is Defence not written Defense by the way??? still love u brahs a lot dont get me wrong. I m just French

[@Nico-xc3rg]

defence is british english, defense is american english

[@marcel2711]

[@Scarydragon-64]

Can you please do a series like this for the queens Indian defence? Still struggling to play well against d4. This series is so useful.

[@sniper9143]

Left me hanging today

[@ludomirsteinbruck9376]

Before this speedrun I didnt even know France was a country. Thank you so much

[@johngrimsley8848]

I like your accent when you say "yeahhh"

[@nsmith6718]

Can you do a trompowsky speedrun?

[@chandrakiran6258]

Nice video

[@miste.remusic]

Title should say 900-1099 😛

[@greatest21332]

[@ddist0rtt]

[@witheringhs7766]
