This was the most fun speed run I’ve seen on the channel. Super easy to understand how these lines unfold, started to use this in my games and have found a lot of success so far.
I got to use the stonewall against a GM the other day. Not only did I beat him, he gave me his GM title. Then my ex called me to tell me she was wrong and wanted to apologize. After that my pp grew an extra 4 inches. Thank you Aman I owe it all to you and the stonewall
Great series, thanks Aman! Building habits got me comfortable with playing chess and this stonewall series got me a great offbeat opening that is so much fun to play and attack with. First of many times I’ve reached the end here, I had stopped at 1800 or so previously because I didn’t think higher ELOs would see similar lines, but I was so wrong :)
this is sirMikeHock and thank you, Aman, for this speedrun, taught me a new opening and helped me gain a better understanding of how to play positional chess. also helped me beat some 2000s ;)
I’ve watched this speedrun series through twice. I after the 1500 level I lose understanding of the positions but it’s still entertaining. I went from a 200-700 with just the stonewall and London. Thank you for that😂
That is the second time I have watched stone wall. Some of these were when I was going in bed or chilling and I realized I have missed some important points. My elo went from 900 to 1050 during that period mostly last 3-4 days. I really like that opening because you find easy attack positions and relatively solid defense as long as I don't blunder. Recent videos about French defense was also useful because when opponent advance the pawns in the center I directly transform the game into a France and go for pawn hunting which usually works at that elo. I also watched the bird but it's a bit boring for me and has a weak defense I would say. If I am in a good day I feel invincible with stone wall. The habit series on the other hand was my start playing chess. I think really good for beginners as the defense is really strong and the moves are easy to remember. Habits are also kinda boring and very few games turns into tricky tactics and there are plenty of exchanges. Didn't watch a series about London, Caro and other popular openings though.
I just played a little rapid tournament for my first time. In preparation “studied” your stonewall speedrun. Ended up playing stonewall 3/4 games and won 3/4 games
yeah great series, only thing I noticed is that after around 1800 the explanations became less and less, I guess it is hard to explain deeper calculations and nuances and will lose on time. But excceeeellleeent series, best by far imho
Verry good chessopenings. I've watched the whole series. But what I encounter the whole time is when I am black. 1.e4 e6 2.d4 d5 and then they hit me with the advanced 3. e5!! In the whole series it never happened to you but I would really like to see your response, because I am never able to play f5 or Nf6. It's the whole reason that keeps me from playing the stonewall with black against 1. e4
In that case you can switch to the french defense, e5 is the advanced variation. Just put pressure on d4 with c5, Nc6 and Qb6. If you insist on trying to play the Stonewall, Aman plays f5 hoping the other guy takes en passant so he can recapture and still get a stonewallish position, those games are cut from the main videos but you can still find them on the chessbrah VODs channel.

Most helpful maybe, but most fun is definitely the queenless or copycat runs, imo

average consequences of being pooja fan

the sequence at 41:00 is nuts. the stutter step on f8...
Great series Aman ! Thanks to this opening I went from 1300 to 1450 easily, I really love playing this ! :D

this series was incredible useful, thank you aman. Can we already know when and what is the next speedrun gonna be?
What a journey it was. Loved it. Thank you guys.
How do you always manage checkmate with .5 seconds on the clock all the time
What's that voice at 9:45 ? Is it internal Aman's voice ?

I’m so sad that it’s coming to an end, I thoroughly enjoyed it (and improved from it)

One of the best speed runs I have seen. I wonder what will be the next one.

Looking forward to the Taimanov series.
More speed runs please!!! They are boosting my rating a lot. Ruy lopez next? 🤞🏻
thanks for the excellent series :)
thanks to gm aman, ive been using the stone wall since the first episode and gained a lot of rating, really appreciate it💙💙💙
Bro I'm going to miss this series it was by far my fav 😢
sad to see it go, loved this series
9:14 Qf1 mate for black, right? Am I missing something?
Bishop blocks
Bishop can block the queen
I am obviously bad at chess :)
I’ve checked the module and Qf1 is the best move! There is hope in my blindness
After watching the London series, I gained 400 elo and now after watching the London on steroids series I gained -500 elo. Thanks gm aman❤❤❤
Thanks Aman for all these amazing games and content
Great series Aman 💯💯 What’s the plan of attack if black castles queen side??
In all of life, there is a rhythm.
Looking forward to the next Speedrun
another stonwall masterpiece
Plz do the scandi + englund next series
Piping hot video. Hell yeah

So sad that the episode ended WHAT NEXT???
