This series is so worthwhile - big ty to GM Hambleton for making such practical learning freely available 🙏 And I still don’t yet understand rook placement! 😆🤷🏻♂️ 19:13ff
Whoanelly! I have been playing delayed alapin line against Sicilian after seeing your habits videos and after getting used to the quirks, I have been consistently getting +1.5 to +2.5 out of the opening!
I've learned from this series that I would much rather have a great position and lose on time than have a bad position and lose on the board. For the first one, I just need to practice more so I can play faster and easily win. For the second one, I have to study the opening and position and try to learn to play better which is much harder to do.
I disagree on the first point. Look to many GMs and IMs and they'll tell you sometimes you just have to make a move when you don't know what to do because you're not playing stockfish who sees the endgame possibilities after 1.e4. Time is a piece on the board that you have to master in addition to the ones you move. There is absolutely no point in spending massive amounts of time on a move only to be flagged and tell yourself "but he's gotta admit I was in a good position there". The only reason Aman is doing this is because of the lesson otherwise I can assure you he doesn't go in to a game with that mentality that being flagged in a good position vs losing on the board is better. As to the 2nd point I wholeheartedly agree. I've always wanted to study openings but never given it priority and just made the same moves robotically every time. After this video I'm getting an openings book.
Both are part of the game, and a loss is a loss. Your opponent could also have a better position had he used more time to think. That being said, If you usually lose on time, but have a winning position, you are on the right track
Probably also worth noting that he routinely loses on time so he can spend more games in a given rating range. It's about teaching people at various levels, not trying to speed run.
these building habits full length episodes are the best. and this no.23 is really good for a review of what Aman has taught so far. thank you sincerely. I've learned so much....and... playing is way more fun now.
Hey Aman, I really enjoy the series! What would be really cool to have for the Ruleset 3 is one video compilation of all the opening explenations of this series! I would really appriciate that and I am sure many others would as well!
@@akarasnj I have to believe he does it almost on purpose, or at least doesn’t care to not flag sometimes, in order to not gain a lot of ELO fast for the purpose of showing more games in a certain rating range.
25:50 i just had a game sort of like this and tried to make Bf5 work, white went Qc2, anyway, i did get my queen "trapped" on a1 but i took a rook and once he played Nd2 i took the other rook so it worked out
I had never seen the opening from the last game. I also thought of playing h6, at first I thought Aman was trolling and wanted to show us what was wrong with h6 but then just realized it was just a nonsensical opening lol I assume the trick is if you play Ke8 after Bc4? I thought of the move at first and then realized it didn't work after you didn't highlight it 😅 funny guy the australian
25:17 " Knowing the greedy gluttons in the chat, you're gonna take the rook, your queen's gonna get trapped and you'll come crying to me telling that the habits don't work!" LMAOL
The guy in the first game played bullet and made a draw against GM tier-3 habits. Almost 3 minutes in the clock. Must be a strong bullet player or getting lucky with bad time management.
Thanks again for this great quality content! I love watching your videos. Great energy. It made me laugh when you said that we get up in morning and start playing chess without pants, because it was exacly what I did hahaha. I am starting to study openings for real now ;)
Guys please help me out here. Regarding game 11 ... If you are black pieces and play the Sicilian c5 against e4 ... After 2. Nf3 you play d6 ... If your opponent plays c3 (delayed Alapin) (as occurred in game 11)... What does Aman consider black's best response to be when white plays the delayed Alapin ? Nf6 ? (obviously without taking e4 so white's Queen does not fork you with Qa4+) ? Or some other response ? Thanks !
What do the brahs think of these ideas: Habits for bullet (or classical), or an Extended Habits, where you go into greater detail for each stage. You could monetize that one probably
Ditch the short trousers guys, we're off to meet The Big Boys now, & they play ROUGH, GRUFF & TOUGH. Also too much chat could lose on Time, although the talk is very instructive, so can't win 'em all guys. The old Swings & Roundabouts syndrome.
It really annoys me knowing he’s throwing when he’s this good, but I got over it. He gives you a gameplan and mostly executes it, which is just using your king and pushing pawns + some tips to make that work. Flagging is good because he can give premise advice and purposely lose, meaning he stays in lower rating ranges for a lot longer. He’s not going to do complicated endgame theory because one, people in that rating range likely won’t have it either, two, endgame calculation is often very long, sometimes 15 moves or more deep making it too hard for this range, three, the value of the game was already extracted from the earlier phases.
@@bigboy2217 Four, it also imitates the player possibly thinking longer on earlier moves, putting themselves in time trouble. And five, he's playing at low time controls for more games. Give yourself 10-15 minutes for a "normal" game and it won't happen as much.
Man, I really enjoy the lessons but please play for a win then explain the extra details during the match debrief. That way we get to share more on a position we're already familiar with and see your thought process on how to convert the endgames vs ours because being flagged is skipping these sections altogether. Just my two cents.
@@josephsalmonte4995 I'm not claiming the term is incorrect, I'm just claiming it's an unfortunate, ambiguous, and illogical term. It might as well mean "Americans of the Dominican Republic" for the lack of information it contains.
TIMESTAMPS (1380-1400)
General Notes

Most important/Theory:
12:42 - tactical trap to get the free knight in the sicilian
42:00 - more karo kahn theory
58:00 - sicilian theory (if opponent plays e5)
1:11:35 - addition to the queen’s gambit theory (if opponent plays Bg5)
1:22:49 - sicilian variation when the trick doesn’t work
1:35:10 - italian theory
Rook Quiz 1 (hard, but important for London games): 17:57
Explanation: 27:04
Rook quiz 2 (after high T move): 30:30
you're doing the lords work, son
thanks, this helps alot for people want to learn

Thanks for this

Great series! Still getting caught up here, lots to learn from these
yoked nando
Life after Yoked Nando gets complicated...
Everyone wants to bring down the one, who brought down the Giga-Chad...
Is this that episode??
@@CaptnCondor last episode was yoked nando
Who is yoke nando ...why is he so much hyped ...
The last game was the perfect ending! The line:' He says I suck ass. How could he possibly know that?!' got me :D
As well as my game improving, I’ve not laughed so much in ages. Game 8, bating the ponziani had me in stitches. Thanks Aman.
This series is so worthwhile - big ty to GM Hambleton for making such practical learning freely available 🙏
And I still don’t yet understand rook placement! 😆🤷🏻♂️ 19:13ff
Whoanelly! I have been playing delayed alapin line against Sicilian after seeing your habits videos and after getting used to the quirks, I have been consistently getting +1.5 to +2.5 out of the opening!
yes! feels real good playing delayed alapin

what is "PFT" discusses at game 11? pft declined... anyway, love this series, I learn so much, thank you
pawn fork trick
Peruvian fork trap
Game 8 is comedy gold. Thanks Aman very instructive series.
Thanks Aman, I've been watching since level 1 and at level 2 and 3, it just clicked. 10/10.
Please keep these habit videos coming. Definitely my favourite.
simply no better instructional chess series on youtube Thanks Aman
Too many people playin Wayward Queen Attack, Pawnstorm, then Bh6... But habits succeed! Thx so much for the series!
2:03:00 "HE'S SAYIN THAT I SUCK ASS!" - f*kin died laughing 🤣🤣🤣🤣
chess has never been made look this easy. kudos to my man
In every one of these videos, I yell at least once: “make a move! Stop flagging!”
It should really be 10 min games. Flagging is a bad habit
@@akarasnj agreed, time management is something you should learn early, it would fit very well with habits
@@akarasnj I have to believe he does it almost on purpose, or at least doesn’t care to not flag sometimes, in order to not gain a lot of ELO fast for the purpose of showing more games in a certain rating range.
@@LFSPharaohthat and you get to see his premove recommendations
pslots is an absolute legend
My rating went from 800 - 1100 in like a month after switching from d4 to e4 with this and learning like 5 move openings
In what time control?
What does Aman think "passed pawn" means though?
(I joke, of course, love this series)
25:50 i just had a game sort of like this and tried to make Bf5 work, white went Qc2, anyway, i did get my queen "trapped" on a1 but i took a rook and once he played Nd2 i took the other rook so it worked out
oOof that shade towards Dylan xD
"Lvl 1 habits is down the hall"
"gonna have to put you with big Dyl"
I had never seen the opening from the last game. I also thought of playing h6, at first I thought Aman was trolling and wanted to show us what was wrong with h6 but then just realized it was just a nonsensical opening lol
I assume the trick is if you play Ke8 after Bc4? I thought of the move at first and then realized it didn't work after you didn't highlight it 😅 funny guy the australian
Put that position into a chess computer, if you play Ke8 it is mate in 6. You have to play Kg6
1:41:08 Game 10 is hilarious
25:17 " Knowing the greedy gluttons in the chat, you're gonna take the rook, your queen's gonna get trapped and you'll come crying to me telling that the habits don't work!" LMAOL
5:40 Ben Finegold watching da Habits hahahahaha
The guy in the first game played bullet and made a draw against GM tier-3 habits. Almost 3 minutes in the clock. Must be a strong bullet player or getting lucky with bad time management.
Game 12 had me rolling LMAO.

What does "pft declined" mean?
pawn fork trick
Keep 'em coming!! thanks as always
01:34:59
PSLOTS I'm over here buddy, just letting you know hahahaha
1:44:32 this series is just too funny
Guys please help me out here. Regarding game 11 ...
If you are black pieces and play the Sicilian c5 against e4 ...
After 2. Nf3 you play d6 ...
If your opponent plays c3 (delayed Alapin) (as occurred in game 11)...
What does Aman consider black's best response to be when white plays the delayed Alapin ? Nf6 ? (obviously without taking e4 so white's Queen does not fork you with Qa4+) ?
Or some other response ? Thanks !
1. e4 c5 2. Nf3 d6 3. c3 >>>Nf6
I can't see the reply
Will there be full videos all up to 1900 elo?

i'd like to see you pull off a K+R vs .K mating pattern
It's one of the easiest check mating patterns, but it should show something when he hasnt had to do it once before 1500
just use dr fox mobile chess app and they v it in the training section for free :)
Idk what 1300 am I playing but none of them blunders like 1:43
Avocado hoodie habits are the best habits.
Where is it from? I want one.
The Aussie guy was intense... :-)
What do the brahs think of these ideas: Habits for bullet (or classical), or an Extended Habits, where you go into greater detail for each stage. You could monetize that one probably
Why don't you play with increment, it's hard to read chat and do the habits without flagging
These videos were recorded a couple months ago
All that time I was thinking it was a weekly stream
We need some checkersbrah merch
fantastic!
good work
2 hours for 20 ELO. The flag is real

It's short for "Americans of the United States" & is therefore correct.
