great humility, very hard to learn no matter the age

Ik it was so great watch until the 28 move goal was implemented. That really ruined a lot of it for me.

That was only 1 episode was it not?

@@kishredbird3599 No they have been doing it every episode since the first one they implemented it. If you listen even in this video he mentions how many moves he has left.

The london wins games fast, the integrity isn’t lose in most these videos lol

@@blackjordans5413 no

I was thinking that too, its super impressive that a 1200 beat a GM, seriously. There is hope that he’ll find out, Aman always uses this name “system player” and considering the fact the guy was 1200 he probably is into chess enough to watch these kinds of videos, id say its 50/50 that he realizes eventually.

They really should let people know who they played against if it was a GM or something.

The sicillian is one of the hardest openings to teach because there's just so much theory behind it

he does the ruy lopez/spanish game in his Habits series once he gets to a certain ELO - before that he simply plays the italian

Only because he has to win in under 28 moves, so he takes a lot more time to think about his moves

That was a fun game where he lost. Time trouble obv but that bishop sac was sick. Aman took the loss like a champ it seemed like he enjoyed the game too.

@@joefawcett7166 a GM still shouldnt lose to a 1200..

@@ddist0rtt Eric Rosen lost to a 900. Anyone can have a bad game.

@@ddist0rtt If he plays normally he smashes him off the board without thinking, he's trying to maximise his move potential

I was thinking I wonder if its the same MBL when I saw he was Norwegian

A cute discovered attack which appears to win a pawn. However, after: ...Bxf2+, Rxf2, Qxd5, there's a nasty counter-discovery for white on the queen after Ng5! (Revealing the bishop on g2), while at the same time threatening Nxf7 the next move to win a pawn and intent to capture the trapped rook on h8 (white's rook on f2 defends a capture from the king). There is no way to save black's queen and prevent the imminent capture of the trapped rook. Regardless, at 29:55 white is already up a pawn and black would only break even while giving up the bishop pair (which is worth about a pawn over bishop and knight anyway). You have a keen eye for tactics, but keep in mind your opponent can respond with their own tactical resources, too.

It’s called the Gregorian I believe

Bg3 is almost always okay, however ignoring it or allowing exf4 is actually in line with actual theory. You trade the bishop for a pretty strong center. Both are completely playable and up to personal preference but the traditional theory goes exf4.

I see thanks guys, I knew exf4 can be played but I always thought Bg3 was better... Now I am gonna look more into the exf4 line

Leaving Bf4 is more active and after Bxf4 exf4 supports plans with Ne5 or f pawn break or pawn storm on king side. Look for info about Berkes Structure for example on chessable in the London course from Alex Banzea.

@@donvitoslav1137 thanks... Will do.

Insightful. He had E4 at one point too 👍

He was trying to win under 28 moves a lot

it's not frustrating to me. Check your nerve system idk Kappa

so stupid

I disagree. I've seen both Levy & Danya only barely win against 1300's that played solid. They won with endgame skills. You CAN'T smash anybody who doesn't make blunders.

@@josephsalmonte4995 I agree with that plus also not seeing b-E2 is probably saying that even GM can have a bad day. Anyway I love thiese videos THX to Aman so much!

Also he likes to throw away a lot of time to make the matches more entertaining

The London takes a little extra time to get into as an opening, also one thing I have noticed playing it from the start of this series, is that opponents fumble into it pretty often, you can some crazy good positions if they try to attack you too quickly

Super gms play the london vs super gms and win
