[@xanbex8324]

Bravo Aman !

[@charliewilson2565]

Fi smiled so much at the end, I imagined her giving Aman a kiss!

[@garlandbest6322]

Way to go Aman! You need to show this off at the RA Chess Club!

[@saskueify]

"Yah, I mean ok but definitely I thought counterplay. But I mean I think it's ok. So" Every chess players speaks the same way!

[@gabes1733]

He speaks a lot like the other Chessbrahs (Eric Hansen, Robin van Kampen, Perunovic)

[@gunsimar]

My man

[@parthasarathibhattacharyya7166]

something to tell to the grand kids.......

[@b1odome]

How many more points does he need to score in this tournament to get the norm?

[@corinnawan5013]

Great!

[@BombDonald]

I checkmated Aman in a bullet game once. Highlight of my life. Though he was most likely hammered, berserked, and played the Grob :)

[@BamThwok76]

As much as I'd like to see you with a very long beard, I'd rather see you make GM. It would be funny if you promised to shave your entire head if you make GM. Maybe a lot of people would let you win? I think your hair looks pretty rad personally. Good luck eh.

[@aidanklassen1572]

Dude is anyone else getting vibes from this girl of the girl in Bourne Identity??

[@northzealand]

offering a draw must have been tournement tactic.

[@BlackPawnMartyr]

Whens the ChessBrah donations party to get Aman his 3rd norm. #GMorGandalfbeard

[@Aj-ch5kz]

He is so red..)

[@myst93]

She couldn't look more bored. She wants to get out of there so bad. Not sure why, Aman is a great guy.

[@ea2763]

Congrats Aman...or should I say GM Hambleton

[@Treegrower]

Fiona is cute

[@innocuent8133]

He looks sick for some reason. Like he's lost a lot of weight.

[@pallav5833]

It's all the crystal meth he's been snorting

[@innocuent8133]

@Martin Nietzche Wow, is this true?

[@joddle23]

What do you think

[@Aeradill]

you people crack me up.

[@martinet1985]

this thread is fucking hilarious

[@longdongbongchong]

Man, Fiona looks bored AF.

[@sourandbitter3062]

This is a cheap thing to say and I probably should just keep it to myself. The lady is nice and all, but I really cannot stand her voice, can't watch this.

[@pomstarSF]

That's just society telling you you're not allowed to have a negative opinion of a woman. To me, she only sounds annoying because she speaks over Amam alot. If she let him talk a bit more her voice would sound fine. Nothing cheap about it. She seems like a decent interviewer/host, but her facial expressions and willingness to constantly interrupt let her down.

[@schrodinger2223]

compared to jennifer shahade tho, she has the voice of an angel.

[@SaintD382]

LOL at "that's just society telling you you're not allowed to have a negative opinion of a woman." Yeah, THAT'S what society's telling me... I love Fiona's voice: she has a very sexy accent.

[@peterguitar2]

Congrats!
