Aman opening series are probably way better then paid courses for average rating people

[@Truffle_Pup]

Aman definitely had places to be that night. He's right about 1300's though, next episode will indeed be nuts. They're like the lost souls, the Ronin of the 2100's... Fallen Warriors who lost the righteous path. They fight Fast and Dirty, and to the Death!

[@RG001100]

Usually Aman completely crushes all his opponents, and then if an opponent puts up a good fight, you think "oh, this guy is cheating". 1300s? Rarely smells like that.

[@Truffle_Pup]

@@RG001100 Wait my brother, this is all from April 2023... Those who know, know.

[@sebbefalt]

Would love longer episodes, like Eric's current speedrun! Thanks anyways, I'm very grateful for the uploads!

[@ItIsYouAreNotYour]

Finally, you continue the series. I was getting sick of everything else, except Kramnik letting his 50 children home from school.. The Hambleton Burger series is back!

[@HenryTheKing-qf9hv]

Good intro Out standing checkmates Remarkable lesson Better than most chess courses out there. Thank you Aman for making my free time productive

[@sdecesare]

1300s representttt

[@Sandude]

man, at 7:10 I bet that guy didn't think f4 would cost him soooo much

[@lukecannon]

Aman treated this episode like a bullet speedrun

[@joeb4142]

Brah most excellent series 🤟

[@BorisHrzenjak]

maybe you should make an Alekhine series, just to shake things up with something off beat that's not hippo or bird like Eric made...

[@bowenliu0434]

17:57 hahahahaha

[@ryanbarker6562]

How ya doin keep it movin

[@nahuel3256]

26:15 --> That wasn't a KO. That was a TKO, the corner threw the towel in the 12th round after a well fought match.

[@pawnquacker]

GGWP! Nice games.

[@maglcman]

love the series, thanks! i have a question - why would trading your bishop for their knight at 22:41 have been so good?

[@ccdj35]

Oh no, it's too short.

[@87rtlandry]

Finally!

[@griffingish2633]

What’s that song in the intro? Fire!!

[@sniffableandirresistble]

1:15. Was funny ❤

[@adamh6094]

So many of this (nearly all in the last episode…) are from the white perspective 😢. I know that it’s good to learn like this, and there’s naught to be done when it’s random colour assignment, but this is the internet so I’m going to have a mild complain about it. Otherwise, good video!

[@TheBlade1985]

A-man is The-Man!

[@ayosnack1607]

What's the song on the outro?

[@joshuamedina503]

Can I watch this on twitch? When do you stream this?

[@bubrub23]

These videos are prerecorded from like 6 months ago

[@joshuamedina503]

Seriously?! Lol I ask because I think he’s playing the Dutch against d4, which I want to get better at. Can’t wait for a Dutch speedrun

[@bubrub23]

@@joshuamedina503 yeah I looked up the account most of the games were played in the summer

[@ConfidenceGold]

why is 1300 is toughest? That's so amazing bc in other game that "middle rating" is toughest too)

[@nba7667]

where are all the other games? quite a few rating jumps in between. shame so few actual sicilians/black games

[@nba7667]

(loving the series!)

[@Jack_the_Crimper]

He probably needs an opening defense for d4 and f4.

[@bartoszmaks1427]

I guess because he can play Taimanov against e4 only.

[@bartoszmaks1427]

Why are 1300 the most difficult? I have also stuck at that level for a long time. Seemed like there was a wall at 1350 for me in the rapid.

[@amirmous]

Come on!! There are only two Sicilian defence games in the whole video😅

[@HaileKostin94]

You should make your own videos! That would be awesome

[@RG001100]

You're unable to learn the Taimanov ideas just because the pieces are white?

[@Scimmiato2oox]

​@@RG001100I'm Italian and I find it your comment offensive

[@amirmous]

@@HaileKostin94 when you dine out and find the food not to your liking, it doesn’t mean you should become chef to express your opinion on the meal. 😉

[@Xtr3me0wn4ge]

Clearly aman's fault. I'm sure he'll try to do better next time just for you :)

[@lazarmanic2094]

Maybe a stupid question, but what is the name of the outro song?

[@RG001100]

Nice showcase of games in the Taimanov & catching opponents blundering badly. Always satisfying to punish a kingside castle that pushes the f pawn too early.

[@JiveDadson]

Never resignate.

[@stantonh1452]

Never resignatificate.

[@JiveDadson]

@stantonh1452 Now you're just being silly.

[@andrewduncan6972]

I’ve been playing and learning this super aggressive line just without castling, and throwing in early sacrifices and it’s really been doing me good, just leading to amazing positions that I feel super comfortable in, thank you so much Aman!

[@user-if7rh2ee1j]

Was hyped for this series, but just too much English openings, so I'm donez0.

[@montagdp]

How are all these 1200s hanging M1? I don't get it.

[@kiertteerf3502]

Because 1200 is a low rating.

[@montagdp]

@@kiertteerf3502 It's not that low that they should miss that. Maybe because it's blitz, idk.

[@RoosterToaster]

1600 still do

[@kiertteerf3502]

@@montagdp Yes they should. You are greatly over estimating 1200s.

[@chadwerning8452]

Because they’re 1200

[@gamerofgaminggames636]

Why does he look so pretty

[@thelurker3795]

last mf was a 1200 on roids wtf was that o.o

[@bibek12332]

How many white games? Has happened twice now Its a black opening and all the games are white Frustrating

[@RG001100]

That's the neat thing about chess. Patterns and symmetry, the common and the differences. Aman's capable of teaching many of the ideas of the Taimanov even when playing with white. I think most are capable of learning from that, too.
