Attacking with the London System | Slowbrah Ep. 17

[@michaelmoreno6431]

No arrogance, truly educational with all principles in the video like know your openings a bit, calculate, kings safety, review the game at the end, even the pace is there (fast, slow, convert), etc. There is no doubt that Aman could have played the entire game in less than 30s but he is giving us the foundations in a digestible way. Those videos are true courses and we are grateful for that! Thank you Aman

more of this please! i love this series

The spot at 43:00 was hilarious, I was really impressed with how Aman was able to keep so much pressure in the position the way he played it, but apparently liquidating in such a strange way was the stock fish line hahaha

[@JustinHampton-l5j]

The engine apparently values exposing the king that much ig

[@mishaerementchouk]

43:33 engines are funny. I ran this position through the latest Stockfish for a while, so it looked through some 3 billion nodes. The best five moves were Bf4, Qh5, Nf3, f4, Bh6 with the respective evaluations decreasing from 6.31 to 6.15. So, for Stockfish, White was so dominating that the bishop didn’t matter: neither for the attacking side nor for the defending one. It truly takes a lot of effort to benefit from engines.

We saw the same pattern in the second game as in Tsolakidou vs Buksa. Knight on e7 forcing king to H file, no H pawn for protection. Great game

[@Iphroget]

You can see the engine was having hallucinations at the end when it was showing +9 on the suggested moves but all the lines say +5. I think the only way to fix that is to rerun the analysis with a higher depth in the settings.

[@ethansmusic9898]

This is kinda cool seeing this line with an early Bd6. Playing it as black, you have some tricks if Bg3 is played. Qe7 and Qb4+ can happen if white goes on autopilot.

[@andrasarato1338]

Great stuff

[@TaylorL4664]

hmmm the deep think at 11:00. If Bishop takes at g6, his pawn recaptures, then our queen recaptures. Aman said that didn't give enough, and didn't like that move. But don't you have Knight f7 to fork the king and queen, forcing the exchange rook for knight. What am i missing. Is that position still not that good?

[@robikin4563]

Dude I was thinking the same thing I don't get why the engine didn't show it as the one of the top three lines

[@natedeezy1652]

It wouldn't be rook for a knight it would be rook & a pawn for a bishop & knight which is 6 points of material each. You could argue that the black king's safety would be horrendous & you have your queen right next to the king but if you look at the board you don't have any pieces to help the queen for at least 2-3 more moves which gives black time to try & trade the queen off or defend. So without using an engine to dive deeper into the position I'm pretty certain (but could be wrong so don't take it as I'm trying to be a know it all lol) that what you end up with is a position that looks really dangerous for black but you don't have the pieces to strike the crushing blow.

Bruh u r right. I am so blind sometimes 😭

@@robikin4563 no worries broseph trust me if you saw half my games you'd know we're in the same boat. I definitely hold the record for most times in a month going up 200 rating points then dropping back down 200 right after lmao think I've done it 3-4 times this month no lie
