Solve Chess Tactics with Yasser & Aman

[@potatoonastick2239]

The wholesome yasser validation while aman nails the puzzles is what i live for

[@potatoonastick2239]

Update while watching the rest of it: The yasser stories make this video even better still 😍

[@maxivonnebenan1137]

yasser is like a proud dad telling his son all his life storys, it‘s so cute

[@DragonBank]

You should rename this. I almost didn't click thinking it was a Yasser+Aman tactics video, but of course its a Yasser story telling session.

[@jasonsawires972]

it has yasser in the video - impossible to skip

[@potatoonastick2239]

[@ricobarth]

Dude, a fistfight between Eric and Hikaru is Yasser storytelling session. Everything with Yasser is a storytelling session.

[@sgrey9181]

Aren’t all yasser videos yasser story time?

[@DeuceGenius]

just click if it says yasserr lol

[@thelanternexpress9371]

As a grad student studying ancient manuscripts and classic languages, Yasser's story was awesome!

This is the most wholesome team up ever. Need story time with Yasser in my life on a regular basis.

[@RG001100]

2:10:00 Yasser: "Well, I just see that the f2 pawn is undefended". What a show of priorities.

[@jolly_roger2]

"And the sick part is you're going to be right" Indeed he was 🤣

[@jls_flx_grndlwld3080]

Yasser is the most amazing storyteller ever, he‘s a treasure ❤️

[@Chillypuwn]

Yasser is a true treasure. Love him. He is such a nice and pleasant person.

1:02:00 "Over 6 million australian dollars?" "That sounds like a lot, but my needs are great"

[@GEM4sta]

Super fun to see Aman able to blitz our puzzles faster than Yasser can solve them, then nearing the 2 hour mark you start to feel the 2650 vs 2450 difference

[@tedschreiber5717]

Love the Yasser content :D he makes chess so relaxing

[@lincolnfrank9849]

I could listen to Yasser for hours, truly one of our most valued National Treasures.

[@speedyguy8]

Can you imagine having Yasser as a Grandpa? He has all of the best stories lol

[@roberthrosc5582]

I've always been a fan of Yasser's cheerful disposition. Seems like a joyous soul. No offense my dude Aman! You're both brilliant tacticians! Enjoyed the video. 👍

[@frequensea9434]

Ok this is what I’ve been waiting for. A LONG tactic video. I have been STRUGGLING at 2200 tactics

[@shaunh9986]

2:05:43 don’t ever forget Yasser’s record vs computers 😂😂😂😂😂

[@carsenarsen8634]

Aman and Yasser are so funny together. Aman seems genuinely kind and Yasser is the father we all wish we had... Let's be honest...

[@cunningfoxx3678]

Yasser is like those relatives you really love and get along that you have t seen in a while and when you see him you get all exited

[@tusharjamwal]

For those of you that made it to 3:22:59 R2b3 pinning the queen to the king does not win for black because we cannot recapture the rook, knight on c4 recaptures with a royal fork. We also cannot play the Kg8 like Aman suggested because Rdh6 absolutely destroys us. The double rooks hunt the king down brutally. In the other line with Qa6 Rxe5 dxe5 Rxg7+, We don't have to capture the rook back!!! It's not forced we just play Kf8 and white has no more checks. I think the puzzle would have stopped after Kf8. But now we are threatening either rook to b3 and we're cruising. What a crazy puzzle

[@skjotten]

I would definitly watch another 3,5 hours of puzzle solving with these two champs👍🏻

[@toryshafer1961]

Aman is like “I don’t like it because it takes a long time” Video is four hours long ahahaha

[@ZachScorsone]

2:54:45 2:55:10 lord let me reach yassers level of joy here at some point in my life

[@maxspeiser87]

Omg at 13:02 Yasser some how finds a way to talk about the cold war from the puzzle😂😂

[@adamanonymous6885]

just want to say what a joy this video is to listen to - Yasser is just such an engaging guest, and fun to listen to even when he's just reciting co-ordinates.

[@DallasC5555]

This is about as entertaining as long-form tactics can possibly be. Thx guys!

[@macnolds4145]

Came for the tactics, stayed for the Seirawan stories.

[@psychvision101]

AWESOME! You guys need to release the post-game discussions for WCC. People want discussions on the games rather than just recaps. Because generally people don't have anyone else to discuss it with!

[@jolly_roger2]

I was missing the puzzle videos with Yasser. The last one was way too long ago, great vid 👍🏻

[@ippo4502]

YEAH BABY. 3 hours of Yasser! Thank you

[@ulisestorricelli6338]

We want a podcast showcasing Yasser's collection of stories and anecdotes. They're priceless!

[@chizzy8402]

more yasser! his laugh can end a war it's so joyful

[@chizzy8402]

and aman is so canadian lol being polite and listening to him it's incredibly wholesome

[@jolly_roger2]

16:51 thanks for the clarification Aman 😂😂 Great stories and interaction between the two

[@Treasier]

How is it possible that I have seen hundreds of hours of Yasser content and he still has original stories to tell. I'm Finnish and I had never heard this Heikki Westerlund story he told early in the video. Yasser is simply the best...

[@dobletroubleify]

I could listen to Yasser talk forever, his stories are so great

[@joha4574]

lmao the best moment is at 2:15:10 when Yasser goes galaxy brain and Aman is so confused haha

[@timopheim5479]

These tactic videos are my favorite! I love pausing and playing along

[@Wezborg]

Christmas must've come early! Yasser with the Brahs is the best thing to happen to the internet since it's creation.

[@marshalthrasher9492]

Yasser's stories are the perfect relief while I try to solve the puzzle at hand.

[@tomwallen7271]

Yasser Seirawan must be protected at all costs.

[@Chris.4345]

Amazing. Watched the whole thing.

[@alon3304]

On twitch?

[@ErnestLebedev]

Yasser is so amiable and likable you don’t need ASMR as a phenomenon 🤓 Great content, GM Hambleton and GM Seirawan 👍

[@bigbadballernr1]

Watched it live. Will watch again. Very wholesome content.

[@nopunchman]

They didn't go over their first strike (2:43:25 to 2:44:35), so here's why 1...Qb7 wasn't the answer: 1...Qb7 2. e4 Qb6+ 3. Kh1 Qe3 4. Rf1! Rc1 5. Qb5! holds up the back rank. Then Black would have to force a draw by 5...Qxf4 6. Kg1 Qe3+ 7. Kh1 Qf4, etc. On the other hand, if 1...Qc3 there are four moves that don't hang the rook: 2. Kf1 Qd2 unstoppable mate 2. Rb1 Qxe3+ 3. Kh1 Rc1+ and mate 2. Rd1 Qxe3+ 3. Kh1 Rc1 4. Qa4 Qd2 5. Rg1 Rxg1+ 6. Kxg1 Qe1# 2. Rf1 Qd2! forces 3. Qa8 and then 3...Qxe3+ 4. Kh1 Rc1 and now there is no access to the a6-f1 diagonal for the queen, so Black wins

[@RG001100]

3:23:07 start the 78th puzzle. 3:32:20 after much calculation, they make the move; great reaction & follow-on.

[@michaelvan6675]

I still can’t figure out why that one lost.

[@donttrustlando]

watching this makes me realize just how enormous of a gap there is between players like myself and GMs. I'd think I'd be able to solve a lot of those early puzzles

[@balloe3466]

Mr Seirawan had me cracking up with the papyrology story. I could have his voice run in my house as ambient music. If I ever become a grandfather I want this energy with the young brahs.

[@cachaus]

this is so wholesome

[@orusanen]

Good afternoon = hyvää päivää in Finnish. I think that in Yasser’s story, his friend managed to meet the only Finn who does not speak English…

[@chauncyquest2779]

I just love yasser’s spirits so much. He seems like he would have been a hit comedian in the 50’s, but he happens to be a gm

[@thomasnielsen3134]

I could watch this for hours in a row.. and I did.

[@13aphomet]

Yasser is amazing.. I would believe he hasn't been mad a day in his life.. and if he was, it was probably adorable.

[@townsquare_chess]

"He said good afternoon in Finnish" ended my night. What a line 😂

[@williamwallace4080]

I remember this video even though it's almost a year old. I remember some of the puzzles and the Finnish grandmaster story

[@mudababy7896]

2:31:59 I may be biased, but does Aman speak greek?? It sounds like he says 'Περἰμενε' meaning 'wait' Etiher way great video I enjoyed it a lot!

[@igpetrov5303]

How is Yasser related to the channel and Aman? Maybe he was his coach, mentor or just featured external brah?

[@Glendragon]

Just a friend and a content machine

[@Wi11daThri11]

@3:48 Why couldn't white just move king to b5 (instead of b6) to avoid the queen promotion-with-check?! Even Yasser was confused...

[@rajhah]

Oh my god what a great vid. Be2 absolutely slayed me xD 2:08:57

[@MrAM4D3U5]

Hot chocolate. Snow on the ground. Sick day. Yasser & Aman solving tactics… comfy af tbh fam

[@bekanav]

At first I struggled to understand the name of Westerinen. Vowels "ei" in Heikki are pronounced quite a lot like "a" in a word baby. Double "kk" has quite a lot weight in it also, it is not a double k for nothing. Nice stories from Yasser. Such a great story teller

[@pianochess1882]

So what was wrong with their variation when they got the first strike?

[@nopunchman]

the issue was that after ...Qb7 e4 Qb6+ Kh1 Qe3 white goes Rf1 Rc1 Qb5, then I don't think there's anything better than a draw by ...Qxf4 Kg1 Qe3+ Kh1 Qf4 etc.

[@DekarNL]

Yasser is always a treat
