“Don’t use all your time when there’s one legal move” this is the GM level advice I come here for

[@tommac8742]

I loved the rage stalling analysis. I rage reported someone for rage stalling. I now feel dumb when the GM doesn't even know what it is. my analysis may have been wrong

[@moses3463]

He committed his whole life to winning the bishop and sacrificed so much until he finally achieved his dream…but at what cost

[@jamiebackster3483]

Everything.

These 2 comments = Gold 🙌🏻

[@sl2099]

@moses3463 this is what you could say about each professional chess player. So your great insight about life of professional chess players is kind of obvious truism 😮

[@reinnner5964]

😂😂😂

[@zacharysherry2910]

... When I bought that stupid Audi...

[@matteocaliri2213]

Really good content, I enjoy all of this instructional series cause I learn a lot from them. And you Aman are definitely my favorite "chess coach", I like your clarity in explaining and also your personality :)

[@Wird97]

While I did greatly enjoy the video, I do believe Daniel naroditzky's videos are more instructive if you are an actual 800 rated player. Some of the concepts Aman showed in the video definitely feel more advanced to me (I am just ~1300 tho so don't take my word for it)

[@theherk]

31:59 "Once you blunder a piece, it's harder to blunder more pieces." Savage. Aman's dry wit is hilarious.

[@joeb4142]

There’s just less stuff to blunder.

[@pulkitlohia]

Hi GM Aman, I would like to thank you for all the previous tutorials, your this channel and chessbrah Extra helped me a lot in climbing up the ratings from 350 Elo to 800 Elo. I will keep learning and climb higher. Thanks once again!

[@joseherrera8521]

what a climb bro, im trying to climb to 800 (im 685) but im a bad player. Anyway, nice job!

[@pulkitlohia]

@@joseherrera8521 Thanks bro, I would like to tell you - I also got stuck at many places (for like months), I think they are called 'chess plateau' , but after crossing two of those points earlier I knew it may take some time but I will climb higher. I also used to watch those 'Building Habits' episodes again and again. I believe, you too can climb higher and higher. All the best!

[@aaaaaaa6954]

im the same rating man

[@Avi-tq6fd]

@@pulkitlohia 800 elo in rapid or or 5min one? And did you watch the whole Playlist of building habits?

[@pulkitlohia]

@@Avi-tq6fd In rapid, I didn't finished the whole playlist as of now, exams! 😅

[@josephsalmonte4995]

I really like your slow, intelligent games against GM's, but I *LOVE* watching you destroy my fellow amateurs 👍

[@josephsalmonte4995]

What? I LOVED this system & YOU convinced me it was "low T" 🤣

[@DDHDTV]

Aman always plays the London when he doesn't know how strong a player is, for example when playing in the park. It's his staple

[@shawnhorton2000]

Fantastic both fun and informative. Here’s what makes you different - others will say “ok if he makes that move then I make this move”, but you say “ok if he makes that move then I make this move AND HERE’s WHY”. The WHY is the only way we really learn! Bravo!!

[@antaress8128]

I really like the sense of humor which Aman demonstrates. The less pieces you have on the board, the less the chance you will blunder. Genius! Also he was so serious when he discussed the future of his future wife. Hilarious. Bravo Aman!

[@ozdemircelalkurnazl]

This series is a great service for humanity. I was thinking to study The London System and with your playlist i can see too many ways to play it. Thank you very much!

[@saulramos5985]

I love the way how you teach the London system. Not just by reviewing old games from GMs like most of the videos I found prior to this. But actually playing and going through since the beginning. That’s the best way to learn openings. I cannot wait to try the London system and see other videos like this for other openings and defenses. Thanks!

[@kaugh]

Speaking of "rage stalling", windows had a backgammon game where your opponent would be able to just not move their piece if they knew you would win in the next roll. Like no time limit. I remember going out to a movie, dinner, school and coming home sometimes to a held move. Some people could not handle the impact of a loss. They had a quick chat function where you could passive aggressively say, "your move" or like "hello" and you'd leave a message to see if they were still there after hours of delay and eventually some would reply which always made the game of chicken that much more intense. You could also do this right before your last move in a win too to be that much more bm. Good times.

[@tracymiller1149]

"It's recommended that you use your time to think BEFORE you're lost."

[@nomer440]

brahs dominating youtube

[@Anzuo]

I am super excited for this! You are the best chess commentator on KZbin I think.

[@tylerwells2044]

14:44 knight to d5 looking for c7 pins to punish Queen trade. No way to stop

[@tylerwells2044]

After looking more knight b5 even better

[@mg_phopla]

I love this. I've going through the king's indian speenrun, this time actually taking notes and I must say, it's nice not having to only rely on tactics👌🏾, cause as a 1300, i'm bound to make a few blunders. Thank you

[@j.p.5397]

Thank you! I've been playing the London for quite some time now and this is going to be GREAT!!!!

[@db8458]

Good stuff Aman. Keep this London series up

[@mushroomgirlie]

The London System series was incredibly helpful, so much that now this is my go-to opening for white!! Definitely watching your openings series!!

[@JunctionWatcher]

Nice to see Aman representing the UK

[@brandonovich6063]

I love Eric Handsome and watching him play.. but Aman as a chess coach is unbeatable

[@TedThomasTT]

Aman is handsome too.

[@davidcarr9772]

Agree he is but Eric is SIZZLING HOT. When I watch Eric I always stick to the Seat

[@kevinguy1084]

The "in between" moves he makes are perfect.

[@caseyscottclegg]

Medprince just couldn’t find king takes queen that’s all

[@UnusualReels]

You really lack self awareness when you know the rules to quitting so well you can strategically quit

[@NoahPrentice]

LET'S FUCKING GO! Super hype for this series!!!

[@jackholmes1017]

"Once you blunder a piece, its harder to blunder more pieces" brah hasn't watched my 500 elo ass blunder every move 😂😂😂

[@zackarialundy]

I am new here, but I'm living for the humor around 25-26 minutes in 😂

[@joelabraham6834]

I play the London, but I never really go bishop H3, I'm adding that to my repertoire. Thanks.

[@Raugturi]

The only thing I learned from that first game is that Aman is like a cat playing with his food.

[@stevencusumano7933]

the only thing that preventing me from breaking 500 is part 2, release please

[@raph6709]

I like how a trade of pieces were you just lose a pawn at the end is considered "unplayable" for GM while I don't hesitate one sec to hang my queen to fork to pawns with my knight.

[@ruslanbedoev9264]

It's really funny to watch GM's listen to music in background while for me I need my TOTAL Concertation. Even if i get a msg i'll get distracted and it will me like 30-45sec to get my concertation in the game.

[@Xialo_Universe_Art]

Aman you're a freaking legend! Will definitely add this series to the botez Queen's gambit and habits!

[@friendlyindividual]

I watched your Kings Indian videos and they’ve greatly helped me improve my rating and play-style, so thank you very much. I hope to learn much more from this series! Keep up the good work!

[@frequensea9434]

Let’s all low key keep in mind and clip the 26:00 min mark the very day that our boy gets hitched. We need it prepared for when that time comes

[@wallyanimations]

much love for the brahs

[@divided_and_conquered1854]

That was very, very useful; well put together, well explained, and well illustrated. See you in part 2!! Cheers.

[@damiester1]

Now to wait until the 1700 section so I can finally breakthrough.

[@krs48]

Rage quitting I always report them.

[@bramjochems2182]

Really like your various series! Could you include some black games on how to play against the London as well?

[@Eidenhoek]

Okay so when you mentioned giving him more time I looked at the length of the video and got scared.

[@issachong1773]

Question: If I move me queens pawn to d4 and my opponent immediately moves his pawn to e5, what do I do?

[@wicked5999]

It's called the "Englund gambit". You should always take the pawn. It's not good for black, but there are a lot of traps. Watch a short video on it

[@B17MIKE]

Great commentary. easy to follow. Thanks!

[@theyruinedyoutubeagain]

The LaurentiuPatrascu guy was Romanian, proud af to be one too lmao

[@foreverendeavor5751]

Hell yeah. I have wanted you to do a London series!

[@vibeoinktunes8396]

Great series man - thanks!!

[@littlelegend5133]

Aman hambleton: "Low t opening" Also aman: .... 😂

[@masonfree7250]

Rage stalling 😂😂

[@mikesmith2315]

I learned how to rage-stall it isn't as difficult as I thought

[@kazitaufiqiqbal1194]

16:05 I train puzzles in the background when they are rage stalling so I can get even stronger!

[@drewhonderich5194]

Lol. Rage stalling is a good word.

[@kevinwalden4288]

This was EXACTLY the video I needed man! all of the london instruction videos are great and all, but almost none of them show actual real games, just lines and common replies that black can do. Seeing the London being played many times over in actual games along with your instructions on how to handle black's replies has been amazingly helpful and hope to see more in the future! You've got a new subscriber man, thanks!

[@shaundiltz5821]

I was rage stalling as I was watching this

[@sn4ppydr3w66]

Is this a re-upload from way back? I feel like I watched this same video from you a while ago.

[@DERderZOCKT]

Just what I need right now! love you Aman

[@Julez108]

When you have 1 legal move, look for better.

[@michaelwhittaker5058]

Im just curious instead of tucking away the bishop why not back the bishop against the kings rook pawn. That is a good place to have an open file room if you castle on the queen side.

[@mehrdara6545]

Sir your king's Indian series was fantastic I watched the series couple of times and I applied the system and won a lot a games just keep going with this type of content

[@jennerkittle1633]

He missed a queen snipe with the dark square bishop with pinning the king infront of the queen to force it

[@austinlharris]

I've been waiting for this!

[@cameront3768]

This was amazing content, but what was that sound at 20:47 ? I thought I heard something? 😂😂😂

[@noahgsolomon]

Better than any london course

[@kishredbird3599]

39:38 bro that board and the one on my screen are identical mid game lol

[@timgrec5588]

kings indian was more my speed, but lets make it fun learning new stuff

[@steazi]

Been waiting for this pls moreeee

[@TheDedloc]

Should have just done a series with black also lol I'm curious if my habit building will work with the london. Im sure the nuances to every opening lol

[@jamesotis4115]

awesome stuff hambo

[@berrieblanders9224]

Hilarious commentary!

[@steinanderson9849]

whats up? the cost of living my friend

[@luckybuck6882]

Love your content...keep it going brother😁

[@SuperCurious]

Loved this for learning the london system. Music bugged me a little but content made it tollerable. Loose it to make experience better imo. Thank you 💚

[@TheOnlyWabagoon]

Huberdeau signing though? Lets go bud!

[@spaceaids3767]

finally my type of chess

[@davidburch3863]

14:45 Nb5 would have been funny, preparing to fork after Qxa8. Hahaha

[@rickthestick6995]

So... if I'm following the building habits playlist and I'm getting close to 800 should I switch to this opening for white, or stick with what is listed in building habits?

[@mazeyandbuck]

Reference the "rage stalling," in the 2nd game. Shouldn't this be a reportable offense? I understand that people get mad when they are getting blown out but this stalling is not in the spirit of the game. Thumbs up if you agree.

[@shavais33]

No, for crying out loud, rage stalling absolutely should not be rewarded. That's crazy.

[@homonym7638]

Oh buddy, buddy, buddy... I really wanted to watch this video, but the goddawful techno in the background made it impossible.

[@seandiamond7983]

Oh hells ya! I'll be watching this one!

[@brimmed]

as a fellow 1k-1.2k elo player, it's crazy how many people rage at the game. if i win, rage, if i'm losing trash talk. bruh we're both like 1100 elo why you getting so mad

[@gaijoquasesao5837]

Typing words for helpings

[@adamdj713]

I love this style!

[@TheDavveponken]

If only you had mated that first guy with a pawn promoted to bishop

[@vosbit]

gm smurfing and complaining about rage stalling lol

[@وايلالحربي-ي1ك]

5:54 thats a checkmate right ? did he miss is it ?

[@jonbbbb]

Fantastic series! I've watched this one twice already.

[@IvanOleksandrovych]

I like The London System

[@john-ze7eu]

Good teaching skills...

[@kobusvandenbrink1679]

What was the first player doing, non of what he did made any sense😅

[@patmaloney5735]

FLAMES! 🤠

[@HarmfulHarmon]

While this video was playing I packed toty de bruyne and gold mbappe thanks for the luck

[@HarmfulHarmon]

NEXT PACK ICON ZOLA

[@klaustrphobie]

Im relatively new to chess but why are all of his opponents sooo salty? 🤣🤣

[@OG_Drummer99]

I agree. I play better opponents at 700 rating than he's playing. I like his videos, but he doesn't play good players sometimes.

[@wilhelmx5676]

Aman why do you have a video that's hidden

[@kelliebach5240]

lol rage stalling😂

[@Avi-tq6fd]

What if at 1:49 Pawn f6? And what is a good move on blacks side to counter your position at 7:01 ?

[@takidabossen]

So you recommend just regular London stuff against kings indian? Or do you guys think c4 is a good option?

[@jorisaarinen3597]

what are these 800 players! I swear when u are a 1200 they are playing some solid theory against you

[@sxmma]

Thanks a Lot !
