Thanks for this series Aman, not only have you helped improve my game, but you have also allowed me to get rid of any of the chess anxiety I have struggled with and just enjoy the game for what it is.
One of the most important hurdles to overcome is to realise that an opponent's attack is not scary at all, can catapult your rating just by having trust in yourself
@@saymoes I was stuck at 600/900 for ages until I decided on a break. Came back calmer and less intimidated and shot to 1400 in a matter of weeks. Just take it slow and look at the board for what it it.
Chess anxiety is the worst. I'm just starting to get over that after coming back to the game. Knowing that you used to be better and playing worse...is the worst. 😁
@@brett444 IMO Gotham is kinda toxic, this and Danyas are far more valuable. Chessbrah and Danya walk you through the logic of their moves and use “x” level tactics to beat X level players. Gotham on the other hand crushes new players with IM level tactics and insults their intelligence. Not to mention he clearly gets hella butthurt anytime a troll criticizes him and he would suck a fart out of hikarus arse.
@@TheSkatersk8terskate I agree Levy's videos are educational in a different kind of way but are still educational. He isn't toxic, it's a sense of humor. It's like a friend calling his other friend an idiot. People aren't meant to take it seriously and he never intends for it to be that way. He isn't afraid to stand for himself, idk what you mean he gets butthurt(example plz?)
You have a pretty unique concept here! I'm rated ~1450 but found all of the earlier videos in the series informative too. Usually when GMs/IMs do these "climbing the rating ladder" videos they play at their top level all the time, this way seems more helpful.

@@damiester1 I feel for the guy. Maybe I hold myself in too high a regard, but that's how I feel most of my games go. Playing like a genius until suddenly boom, queen's gone, and back down I go into the low 1200s. No matter how smart on anything else chess related I just can't seem to stop myself from making the dumbest blind plays every other game.
@@damiester1 there is no competition, I don't know anyone doing it better or close, the combination of humour, being a dick and chess is pure dynamite XD
I don't really have any specific thing to say but I want your engagement rate to go up so that more people get to see this amazing channel run by two fantastic creators. This series feels really dumb at first but it's actually insanely helpful. Just beginning with not making one-move blunders and THEN moving on to tactics or positional chess is such a vital part that seems obvious to do but in reality isn't done much at all.
I just started playing chess and I went from 800 to 1000 in a week from watching this, last night I beat a 1500 and mid 1300 handily in casual blitz. Amazing work, keep it up.
This series and chess fundamentals are the only two that actually helped me increase. After I watched the last episode. I won every new game since. Jumped over 100 points in a couple days.
I started playing in January and I’m now almost an 1000 rated player, and honestly I feel like I’ve improved more since watching your videos in the last week than the past like 2 months of just playing games. Also I just beat my 1300 roommate for the first time!! Love this series man you’re doing a great job
holy sh*t that 2 knights Caro-Kann at the start of the video is savage! it is my new favorite CK line as white, and something to beware of as a black Caro-Kann player myself
Tal played like that against Botvinnik in their world championship match in 1960 (game 3, if I remember correctly). It was an interesting game, that ended in a draw
@@pipex654 www.twitch.tv/videos/960557920?collection=TjMBbnAWbxb1gg Here is a link to the collection, if you move your mouse to the top left corner it will show all vods in that playlist
I love this series. I know you mentioned once on stream these videos get the lowest views of basically anything you upload and I'm wondering if that's just because it can only be targeted to such narrow elo audiences for them to make sense. Either way this stuff has helped me a lot and I think it's exactly what I needed. Hoping to need to watch all the other ones too, successively, in the future.
Top tier chess learning content. The procedural improvements make so much sense with the rules, and it really is the closest thing to a "colour by numbers" approach to getting better at chess I've ever seen. Keep it up!
Hey Aman thanks for the great series. It's really helping me improve. Literally just watched this last night and had this game this morning 1. e4 c6 2. Nf3 d5 3. Nc3 dxe4 4. Nxe4 Bf5 5. Ng3 Bg6 6. h4 h6 7. Ne5 Bh7 8. Bc4 e6 9. Qe2 Bc5 10. Nxf7 Kxf7 11. Qxe6+ Kf8 12. Qf7# { White wins by checkmate. } 1-0
I'm a big fan of Gotham, but your instruction series far surpasses his. Your videos helped raise my elo from 1000 to 1300 within a month. I watched his and now i need to rewatch these! Not tryina dog my man but just wanted to express how helpful your series is and how well it's structured. Thanks!
this is by far the funniest part of the series :D had to stop and lol one out. and also I found out that there are the full length versions available. Great stuff. Thanks Aman for this gem.
every now and then when i start playing badly (gambiting, not playing using the principles) I come back to this video to remind myself of how to play solidly, thanks for the video guys :^)
hahahaha YOKED nando was fucking hilarious! I've only laughed out loud twice watching Chess videos... once was Yoked Nando and the other time was Aman Jerome gambit video....
Brah, u can't imagine how much I enjoy this series. OMG I can't thanks u enough for the happiness that you're bringing to the board. A few minutes ago I've lost like 5 Caro-Kann games in a row, I mean they haven't just won they just literally beat me up, I was about to throw the phone away XD. But after seeing the first 7 minutes of this video I feel like a bullied kid beating the SHT out of the bullies. So thank you so much, keep creating amazing content you and your chess brah, God bless u and your families. Saludos from Panamá.
I'm rated in the upper 1100s, and this is the first video I have watched and I loved it! Will I derive greater benefits if I watch your preceding lower ELO videos or would that be redundant given my present rating?

We love you guys. Be strong. Tell Eric to take it easy. It is well.
what happend?
? whats going on
what happened?
Eric was stressed on stream during Titled Tuesday because Hikaru was trying to strike Chessbrah out of existence, and he left early.
@@sayso2135 strike? how? tell me more or s there a source
Yokednando’s expected moves had me dying. Laughed so hard. Not a bad game by him though.
This is an incredible series. The best along with Danya's speedruns. Also Yokednando LMFAO
Indeed my man!
Daniel is the GOAT but you gotta check out gothams "how to win at chess". Those are very valuable as wl

The tuck technique never fails
Yeah well that's what my friend told me and then... something went wrong.
@@stoutlager6325 You blundered your piece? lol
@@davek7054 he tucked it into the wrong spot

Thanks Aman, I think this will help a lot of people
Why tf your comment showed "2 days ago (edited)"
Like man.. its just 1 hour ago XD

This probably the best series for practical education. It covers learning fundamentals in such a fluid way
the tuck technique is especially important

yoked nando part literally made me spit my water out LOL. subbing now.
i think this is the best instructional fundamental videos out there. no shortcuts. just good habits.
The yoked Nando game was the funniest 6 minutes of TH-cam chess content I've ever seen.
The banter was so on point in this video! Genuinely loved the content and it was really informative too.
These videos have really helped me I’ve gone from 600 to 1150 in a couple of weeks. Thanks so much Aman
I look forward to Wednesday’s now just for this series.
The yoakednando game had me completely dead 😂😂😂😂😂
Love the way he explains any position
This is the best series as it is just so instructive. Keep up the great work!
The YOKEDkarma was just amazing
You are so entertaining to listen to man! Loving the content!
Me after seeing this: "I'm ready to kick some butt!" Random 800 Elo kicks my ass..
Oh good. Thought I was the only one :)
I love how he tells exactly the no. of people you will checkmate like this.
Lol “if they do that, they’re either making a huge blunder or they really know what they’re doing.”
Basically how I feel with every move lol
this is by far the funniest part of the series :D
had to stop and lol one out.
and also I found out that there are the full length versions available. Great stuff. Thanks Aman for this gem.
We get both the "tuck it in the boxer line" and "shove him in a locker" all in the same CHESS video.
Amaze-balls

This series has everything
That Yoked Nando game was hillarious.
Yoked Nando!!! This dude is the G.O.A.T.
Hahahah, after "How many people you're gonna checkmate like this? - about eleven" I clicked like :D Great content :)
