I don’t know what happened, but after this series of videos on kings Indian I managed to win 15 games in a row. It is so easy to play, I can achieve winning position almost every single game. Thank you Brah.
@@Saurabhsingh1234-y2z switched from playing random moves to playing King's Indian. Now I'm winning at 400 ELO. Thanks Aman (And yes, I am very new to chess).
Aman, you're a great teacher chief. Been watching since episode 1 of the series and went from 1650 to 1750... By following tutorials for 800-1100 elo...
I mean... highly likely that I just miss all the opportunities... but I feel like... whenever I play... no one makes mistakes like dropping pawns or pieces except me! xD
You are just making them mistakes first. Chess is often about keeping cool and just minding your own business, while peeking at your opponents business. You should play for structure rather than wait for your opponent to blunder.
i started winning after playing kings indian ...earlier i used to play queens gambit from white and fremch defence with black ..but now i play kings indian with both colours ....only attack i worry againts kings indian is the 150 attack....that i used to crush black by using 150 attcak
42:40... He says "Put all your pawns on dark squares and give up your light squared bishop"... I don't understand that concept of the color squares your pawns are on and which Bishop you want vs you want to take. Anyone have a good source to explain that for us lowly 700 rated players?
If you put your pawns on dark squares you block every chance for movement on dark squares, thats why a light squared bishop is more valuable since you can move between those dark squared pawns.
I haven't tried the king's indian defense yet, but I have played the king's indian attack with white in a couple rapid tournaments on Lichess for players under 1300. I just got 6th out of about 86 players, with a 1712 performance. The hardest thing for me is to push the pawns out in front of my king. About 1/2 my loses in these 10+0 rapid tournaments are due to me getting flagged. This opening allows me to play a little faster and stay out of time trouble a little better. I'm going to watch more of the games with black now and play stockfish 3 some for practice. I've been playing the Scandinavian and London with black and this will be a fun alternative. Thanks.
Is there a missed chance for white to win some material or mate at 29:25? The king is stuck at the end of that white diagonal and if black blocks with knight black gets mated by the rook on the a file.
You mean if White played h4 followed by Bh4? I mean, I'm not sure if I like what you are doing to the pawn structure there, doesn't seem worth it, just to be up an exchange.
@@willoschOG even worse, white plays h4 and black pushes his pawn to g4 and blocks the diagonal and also attacks whites knight. It’s a good plan but white can’t get his bishop check on bh5 for it to work. Plus even if white could , it’s only being up an exchange… there’s no mate here. Def a candidate move and props for seeing it. 👍🏼
im reaching 1300 now because of this series, the only thing you need to pay attention is opening stage for white and black! i hope can reach 1500 soon! thanks Aman
Same dude I was busy when this speedrun aired and wasn't playing chess at all When i came back everybody was hella strong This helped me reach 1400 5 mins version (i dont know what its called)
I know Aman is just joking about kings indian attack D3 being a noob move, but im wondering, how does kings indian attack hold up at the highest level (is there a bit a truth behind this joke?)? I know kings indian defense is played a lot but do super GMs play kings indian attack? I haven't really noticed it
28:14 why would black go knight b4 and why is that dangerous if your queen is on e2? wouldnt you just take with the pawn? why would that be so bad for you that you avoid it altogether?
He's saying the knight would go to b4 if you didn't play c3 first. Now it would be threatening c2, forking your rook and queen on e1 (which is where he wanted to move his queen to get out of the pin).

So this is why I've been getting wrecked by KID players who sorta know how to play it this week. Now I kinda sorta need to expand my slapdash semi-averbakh semi-i don't actually know this line after the initial development repertoire.
Me watching Aman demolish 1100s: Look at these absolute buffoons
Me playing against my fellow 1100s: Why is everybody so strong
😂😂
Me too. Maybe Aman is better than us?

i mean ofc you are a GM , but its astonishing how clean you are, like effortlessly. its fascinating
Yes, his shave is impressively free of hair stubbles

24:16 didn't really understand, doesn't Rxc3, Rxc3, Knd5 fork forces rooks off the board winning on the spot?
yea the engine says Rxc3 is best move to trade off rooks, his way actually blunders the e pawn cause his rook coulve taken e pawn instead of king
40:41 Rorschach!

That's me when I see people Fianchetto their king side bishop, my eyes turn red and my blood starts to boil
"why are all the canadians in the 1100 -1200s, do we suck?" me as a 1200 "I guess I suck"😭

Absolutely love your speed runs and other instructive vids. They're great fun. Learning while laughing. Gotta love it!👍🏻

25:47 I don't understand this move e5, it leads to a queen trade, loosing your right to castle doesn't it?
Aman is the best teacher on TH-cam, no joke. Cant wait until the speedrun reaches 1400! Thank you Aman!
Naroditsky stays unbeatable on this point for me
i got bored playing queens gambit ...now i am trying kings indian .....the postion we get by this opening is very dynamic
47:25 Best part --- Support these guys!!
7:02 he said the line
Bishops gonna say hi 🥹
Aman - you are delivering an excellent public education with class and humor. Great work.
These are so entertaining. Love your content and your commentary/jokes, Aman!
Great series! Can't wait for the next speed run!

I finally broke above 1k elo which is super high T since I couldn't break 900 two weeks ago. Great series. Very instructional.
Can we get time stamps of each game?
At 40:39 I would have missed the a8 rook and lost my queen thinking I had mate, lol.
im reaching 1300 now because of this series, the only thing you need to pay attention is opening stage for white and black! i hope can reach 1500 soon! thanks Aman
how much are you now ?
Same dude

In the kings Indian attack after e4 I get a lot of d5 what is the best way to proceed next.
Love the series

Awesome thanks for the upload. I have switched to the KIA now thanks to you guys.
so you saw a different knight fork, but what happens if he just didn't take the bait?
That’s the joke
Very nice..keep up the sppedruns
I lose more as black, need to remember the order more, do things that often get me into a bind lol
Well explained Aman. Good stuff!
Really enjoying this more & more as the opponents are getting better!🙏
the entertainment factor is already 2900
What is the history of the term "Giga-Chad"? It cracks me up even not fully understanding its meaning.
I seem to be watching these videos out of order. Lol
41:50 lmao this game was so funny
Come on... where is the next episode?
how do they get their rating back??
28:14 why would black go knight b4 and why is that dangerous if your queen is on e2? wouldnt you just take with the pawn? why would that be so bad for you that you avoid it altogether?

Aman's vids got me to 1600 in rapid and 1400 blitz. keep it up.
At 1500 rapid, people are not blundering their e4 pawn I can assure you.
I just had a 1600 blundering his bishop in rapid in the opening.
he's at 2200 rn, they will upload the more recent vids later
I've been stuck at 1200 for awhile now and I basically don't have any openings. I hope this helps me get to 1400.
Great vid!!

Hey can Aman do a London system climb
Thanks for the video too
do you even lift brah?
54:00 hahaha hilarious analysis
speed run? More like abandoned run! ....rite?
Really cool video thanks
I think they were using a chess engine
"That's going to work against a lot of the chat." Report: I'm in this picture and I don't like it.
would you please tell how to counter 150 attack against kings indian defence
Thanks as always Aman your great!
Why you have to do that to my boi Hasan. Sheesh that was brutal.
Don't worry, they will get their rating back ahah
you okay, Aman?
you sound down..
“Why do all Canadians suck, they’re all like 1200”
Me: lower than 1200 elo Canadian who loves Aman.
Feeling broken
And betrayed
Hassan of course would be sour grapes. I would’ve been. Thy was a brutal game to lose
smooth kings indian
Does Aman or Eric do private lessons?
16:15 lmao, great vid
Will he get his sanity back? No. Dignity? also no.. Will to live? No but he will get his rating back
Alright then where is my rope
So this is why I've been getting wrecked by KID players who sorta know how to play it this week. Now I kinda sorta need to expand my slapdash semi-averbakh semi-i don't actually know this line after the initial development repertoire.
nice game
Why do you act like a hostage with a gun to his head during these intros
Yay Aman
Aman, i also think that you are nice sober! :)
Been trying this and dropped a crisp 100 points on lichess. Dont support these guys
Lol
Same lol
skill issue tbh
nice
At this level they make many silly blunders. Can you please make a KIA KID at 1500+ level?
He'll get there eventually
