      While I did greatly enjoy the video, I do believe Daniel naroditzky's videos are more instructive if you are an actual 800 rated player. Some of the concepts Aman showed in the video definitely feel more advanced to me (I am just ~1300 tho so don't take my word for it)

      Thanks bro, I would like to tell you - I also got stuck at many places (for like months), I think they are called 'chess plateau' , but after crossing two of those points earlier I knew it may take some time but I will climb higher. I also used to watch those 'Building Habits' episodes again and again.
      I believe, you too can climb higher and higher. All the best!

    I love the way how you teach the London system. Not just by reviewing old games from GMs like most of the videos I found prior to this. But actually playing and going through since the beginning. That’s the best way to learn openings. I cannot wait to try the London system and see other videos like this for other openings and defenses.
    Thanks!

  • @kaugh
    @kaugh 2 роки тому +7

    Speaking of "rage stalling", windows had a backgammon game where your opponent would be able to just not move their piece if they knew you would win in the next roll. Like no time limit. I remember going out to a movie, dinner, school and coming home sometimes to a held move.
    Some people could not handle the impact of a loss. They had a quick chat function where you could passive aggressively say, "your move" or like "hello" and you'd leave a message to see if they were still there after hours of delay and eventually some would reply which always made the game of chicken that much more intense.
    You could also do this right before your last move in a win too to be that much more bm.
    Good times.
