GM Hambleton's English Speedrun | Part 6

[@heyhowyoudoin]

First game is very instructive. I think a lot of ppl are frequently in a situation where they could deliver the Greek gift without realizing it and mindlessly playing a different move. Great stuff Aman :)

[@GMBethHarmon]

1:11 Greek Gift 29:05 Giving up the dark squared bishop, Sicilian Dragon structure, best way to play as Black. 30:31 Knight + Rook tag-team the semi-open c-file, importance of a3 38:43 Rook Endgame, connected passed pawns

[@winterbreed7001]

been loving the english, took me from 1600s to 1800s in every format and I finally broke the 2000s ceiling in bullet with this opening!! cheers aman!

[@EddieCrayMarshmallow]

23:15 Am I the only one shocked by how perfectly the "f4" came along with the song line?

[@Omar_Merican]

move my body back and forth 😂

[@PiercingSight]

Nope. It was absolutely perfect. I almost thought he was singing along, and then I remembered that this music is added after the stream.

[@tbr2025]

Worth the breakdown on the Greek Gift alone. I'm learning that and have had success and failures, and you perfectly described the reasons I have failed.

[@ericgilmore5949]

Never tried the English opening before, but I have to say this speedrun and Eric's hippo are on par with the London and Bullet speedruns. Definitely gonna start practicing this opening. Just class chess against every opponent. Oh yeah bud! Keep 'em comin buddyguypal!!

[@garagavia]

I love the English chess brah openings speed run are a great videos cant wait to see more of thats!

[@MadRad1000]

Is the french part of the run available on KZbin or only on twitch? I play the French and the English so this is great...

[@brendanpolk6038]

We need more speedrun content 😳😬

[@Enzo222]

The greek gift tip was really usefull

[@Amoeba_Podre]

Is the french defense part of this speedrun coming to youtube?

[@RG001100]

2:50 Yeah, more likely than not. In one of Eric's no castle speedrun games, his opponent was able to defend against the greek gift even with those things being true!

[@SoarLong]

That on-queue 'Aw Snap' google chrome memory error was fantastic!

[@briandwi2504]

Loving this speed run. Thanks.

[@magnumdongman446]

i'll never be able to understand why players of this same rating range i play against daily never play openings like the ones aman regularly sees. it's so bizarre

[@owenallenaz]

I switched from London to English and immediately got 150pts because my opponents are just way less familiar and its so much easier to challenge the center.

[@klarkbeverly]

Are the French defense games going to make it to KZbin?

[@stoutlager6325]

Anglo scandi is popular just because scandi players at low to mid rating believe they can approach it the same way as regular scandi. At that rating range, based on the lichess player database stats, they are correct. English players are not punishing them. Much the same reason Bowdler attack against Sicilian sticks around as a popular choice up to least 1700.

[@thetree1994]

I wonder if the second game Hippo was one of Eric’s love children

[@jeramym9506]

When does the French defense speedrun get posted to youtube?

[@aristaeon]

regarding the browser question you asked after the Aw Snap! message, just port over to Vivaldi browser instead, bookmarks, chrome extensions and all

[@kangurukanguru7799]

will the french speedrun be on youtube?

[@Brucelee-pv6uf]

0:15 why ? who made it ?? 3:50 u even day that ??😂

[@ibidthewriter]

9:34 Bxd5, c6, Bf7# would have won the queen, though c6 is by no means forced.

[@sultanalhassawi8932]

Where are the french defense videos?

[@captainpey405]

Aw, Snap!

[@sebbefalt]

God bless you Aman.

[@johnp845]

is there a black pieces speedrun associated with this English opening speedrun ?

[@johnp845]

@Tele-gramTheChessBrah what does this mean ?

[@hjelle73]

Great vids! Name of the song starting at 09:38?

[@edbunkers4516]

i was looking for it too ! great song, i need it

[@Eric-yc7po]

I use edge (for work it's a windows obv) 😂but with the google engine of course. I actually like edge's news and layout lmfao..........

[@Omar_Merican]

you know I always thought Edge was supposedly an upgraded version of Internet Explorer and turns out, I once opened both Edge and Internet Explorer at the same time... 🤔😅😂😂 ... but hell tho, Internet Explorer was sooo nostalgic

[@safakozdemir425]

Love you Aman

[@lucalden2648]

[@pro0stak]

Great english

[@ui264]

グレート・イングリッシュ

[@Brucelee-pv6uf]

Why its called english ??

[@Nightwalk444]

Because an English guy played it in a tournament in London in 1800s

[@andrewa6159]

Oxxxymiron playing chess

[@gaijoquasesao5837]

Took you long enough

[@Dakodi_]

Lmao. Last guy is currently 800 rapid. And he had 86% accuracy for a 60 move game against a GM. Yeah okay.

[@abdulazizdablo4491]
