I watched Aman’s Building Habits. Then I was forced to enter in Chess tournaments and watch Chess videos in my spare time. Don’t support these guys.

The c4 theory is excellent. Lots to review but Aman's teaching style is easy to understand.

It's the most wonderful Taimanov the year

That first guy is the best 800 rated player I have seen in my life.

Damnit! That comment you made about us being these 800’s is too true.

13:43 why Taimanov is strong lol

Me, rated 2027. "I am this 800"

Aman's Taimanov speedrun....where bad things happen to bad people...

I've been waiting anxiously for this one. Keep em coming! :)

Been waiting for the next one to drop....having great time playing with the Taimanov...thanks for all that you post...love it.

In all life, there is a rhythm.

These videos are so good. The position is easy to get into, dangerous and rock solid. Very fun to play, I've watched 3 then played a handful of games and crushed every black game (all against E5) with 85+ accuracy in each. Best teacher on KZfaq IMO. Perfectly pitched at the level you're teaching for, trickier lines and new concepts are introduced slowly which makes them super easy to internalise. Appreciate your content, off to find your Twitch to use my Prime sub 🙏🏼

Nowadays, I play taimanov when I have black pieces and stonewall when white . My rating became 1300 with only 2 opening. It’s almost like cheating.

23:29 as a taimanov player, i recomend in this position to play Bc5, and below 1900 the chances white blunders with Be3 is huge, if Be3 then Qb6 and white is already in trouble, I recommend checking the lines with the engine.

oh ya baby ive been waiting for this episode, can't wait for 1200 episode cuz thats where I am now just by using taimanov went from 800 to 1100

Love the Taminov Brah, having very good success with it from what you have posted thus far at the 1600`s level, would love to see some more on it, please :)

I keep waiting for Taimanov video to drop on the Brah channel! Much love!

Love this opening! Ive been playing it loads lately when i can

Very helpful speedrun videos, my rating is finally going up after 3000 games in blitz

I've gone up from like 800 to almost 1100 in the past couple of weeks, playing mostly this opening for either side. Working on the c6 opening for black as well, just for when they play d4, but you guys are awesome teachers

20;47 that's why it's useful to watch these videos as playing.. usually kingside development is so delayed, & usually pushing the pawns queenside has discouraged the opponent from castling queenside.. main thing is it's a bit scary to keep the king safe.

It's tai-man-ov the year!

Aman assuring all the 800s in chat who say "where are all these 800s when I play?", are the same 800s that do the same crap😅 i love it

Great stuff Aman

Excited for taimonov vids

14:37 so true! Been there

Can u please upload this series 3 times a week? Or 2 at least. Great content, got a lot of wins at 1500 elo

Incredible teacher, Aman.

That g3 + Bf4 stuff is so funny. Weakening their key diagonal for an attack on your queen.

I laughed hard at the user name "roidmonster" haha!

taimanov is wonderful to watch

Finally! Taimanov is back! ❤

He is back

It does seem to be true for me, the players I play at my level seem to play better than the ones you play. It wouldn't matter though you would win but it would be nice to see how you react to them playing better. Anyway's I always love your speed runs thank you Aman.

Thanks, John dollar

waiting for a new episode. keep up

Is there any way to watch the raw footage?

What Taimanov book was Aman talking about? I think it was last episode or the one before.

The dizzy heights of 800 - 900 😊

I come to this channel for Aman :3

*Damnit hes doing my opening it was a secret amongst the 1600s now everyone is going to know how to handle it, Ill probably lose a few rating points lol*

I just tried this out for fun and my 1600-rated opponent hung mate on move 12 lol. I guess I'll stick with it for a bit.

Song at 34:00? Heard it before but can’t find it

Wondering if we still gotta buy chessable courses when we got content like this

song at 9:50?

I often face an alapin or delayed alapin. Very annoying

14:21

I would vote for Jon Dollar.

Shout out Jon_Dollar

I’m around 850 elo and can confirm… I do the dumb shit he speaks of.

Bro i absolutely do not think im better than these 800s I get so annoyed watching speedruns on youtube and every good player dismisses early queen openings as clearly easy to disarm, meanwhile i lose to probably 80% of wayward queen attacks despite having watched literal hours of video on how to not lose to it 😢
