Like so many others, I really like these series. I appreciate getting to see it played in different scenarios and how one ought to respond in each. But more than anything, I appreciate that Aman doesn't mercilessly mock terrible play. He recognizes that these opponents are really low rated, and that their poor play is to be expected. We were all pretty bad when we started. Some of us are still pretty bad!
Very true
These videos are some of my favorite on UA-cam. You being amazing at chess while also being hilarious is an amazing combo that I don't really see in any other chess channels.
Indeed. You don't really find this anywhere else. Aman's humoristic intelligence is off the charts.
Honestly, Aman is just one of the best streamers/content creaters of all time in my opinion
I just love the way you explain things. Super simple, super succinct, super comical when the opponent blunders. "And Boy, that piece[we're going to win] is gonna be a Queen. Jackpot!"
Thanks for not going over all the slowbrahs'(like me) heads
This is a phenomenal series. You take kind of a gimmick opening and show how it has certain clear advantages if played correctly. You basically show that mastering certain kinds of positional ideas (good and bad trades, when to close and when to open, improve the worst piece, when is a king actually unsafe vs just exposed), even in playing kind of a dubious but very positional opening, can take you to a level where you can beat almost any non-titled player. Really impressive pedagogical skill in explaining thoroughly and clearly while having some fun.
Love the series! It's helping me broaden my repertoire. The concepts in this video at this level were enought for me to push to 2000 for the first time!
3 games, 3 wins with this
I’m at 1800 and want to push to 2k this summer as well!

"If it's not gonna work both ways, I cannot afford you that courtesy". 😄. I can't wait for an opportunity to use that IRL.
I really like these series when Aman is teaching different openings. It's very instructive. Most GMs are hiding their secrets and sell it for hundreds of bucks to buy it on Chessable courses, but Aman is giving us free practical lessons, teaches why this move is good, why is not good and what could've, should've! Thanks Aman
Yeah, chessbrah not selling out to chessable or creating a platform like chessly is super refreshing next to the cash grabbers of the chess world!
@@JW-qd3ol i mean it's a win win for everyone with chessbrah.. unlike most gms they have a big following on yt which allows them to make enough money as if it were a course due to monetisation..and we get this content for free soooo..cant really complain lol
This opening is more aggressive than the London you taught us earlier 😅. Thanks GM
Speed runs are not only for the exhibition because at the final stages, the games are interesting. We can use the openings more confidently in blitz, and even at OTB games when the openings are explained.
I've already watched the vods of this entire speedrun, but I'll be rewatching it because I really like how Aman explains things. I don't typically get too much out of the early stuff but there's still nuggets in there enough for me to watch. I do appreciate that these speedruns go past 2000 as someone at around that rating. Thanks for the content!
I really love these opening Speedruns. I now have the London, English, and Hippo openings in my repertoire.
Did you miss his fianchetto? It was great, too.
what is your elo? That isa lot
This is amazing. The Stonewall is my all-time favourite and I am extremely looking forward to further videos in this series.
Yayyy! A new series ! I'm gonna loose 300 elo trying uncomfortable positions and falling into other people's traps all over again. And by the time I regain my elos, there will be that French Defense dropping so I can loose another 300 all over again!
Very instructive! Probably the best way to teach an opening as you meet moves 'in the wild' and highlight the key positions and aspects of the Stonewall. I am looking forward to watching the next episode! Thank you!
People like you are annoying... supremely talented, highly entertaining and a great instructor too! I've learned so much from your content
I liken watching these series to watching Bob Ross paint as a child. It's very calming. Love these educational series.
Sweet. I've watched most of it on the other channel but it's nice to have a all together like this.
What's their other channel? Can't find it searching for chessbrah on yt...
Stonewall Pawnson. Remember?
Aman, this is very helpufl. Thank you so much for uploading this.
Babe wake up, there's a new chessbrah Win in Chess series
The thumbnail is too good
starting at 400 rather than 800 is a nice treat.
Why? I'm curious. Is it because you like to watch weaker players blunder and lose?
Love all these speedruns. Also I noticed Aman doesn't like calling them speedruns if his intention isn't to get to certain rating the fastest, so I recommend calling your future opening series "walkthrough or playthrough" since in gaming walkthroughs/playthroughs can take as much time as you want
How did you notice that? Impressive.
Amazing series yall have begun. i love these
I tried hippo a few times, didn't workout so well. Let's see how another one works.
Thank you Aman for posting this series on UA-cam!
Finally a chess opening I can get my head into
Excellent introduction to the Stonewall, Aman. Looks like this could be as interesting and entertaining as Eric's mighty Hippo! Excited for future episodes, great content! 👍
Aman *willingly* suggesting playing the French?! We must dispatch a rescue squad to Canada immediately as he is obviously under duress.
4 middle pawns on opposite colors
d,f pawns controlling opponent's e pawn development
we want to get our e pawn off the e file
we want to get our knight on e5 27:35
attack on king side
bishop away from king develops late to the king side 27:10
good summary 33:09 38:13
I just the stonewall on lichess for the first time. My knights were so strong on the king side. That rook on open file is so important. I'm amazed how easy this game was. What a setup! Stone wall is kinda a dumb name, but darn kudos. Thanks Aman
The way you're crushing my fellow lower rated guys, like a big merciless bully 😂
Anyway, we are leaning bruh, thank you so much
I've been wanting to learn this opening for a long time, as the London is a bit too common, and I need something spicy for white, the hippo for black is very nice.
Definitely looking forward to this one brah!
I really enjoy these videos! It is helping me climb the ranks.
I am wonestalled out of my mind right now.
Lets go! Loving these speedruns
awesome oppening been using it ever since and it works fantastically, thanks!
what happened in 19:43 ?
white pawn suddenly able to move to f6 and black pawn from f5 suddenly disappeared
It’s called “en passant”
Incredible teaching. Thanks.
I cannot wait for that french series to come out. Almost every opponent I play against as black goes into it.
14:40 "just" made a mf-ing fan for life!!
I love these types of videos. I really prefer the ones where you start with a massive disadvantage like the copycat or queen sac, but these more instructional ones are great too
Wake up babe new Chessbrah speedrun😍
Muchas gracias, por favor, continúa con la serie, me encanta, eres un artista. Te quiero.❤
We want the french defense speedrun!
Very fun opening to play. After watching this video I have tried it against opponents in the 1500-1800 rating range on lichess, and have won some games after only 12-18 moves. It seems that alot of people in this rating range are unaware of this opening (for the time being).
I’ve already learnt so much, thank you Aman!
Excited for a new speedrun but starting at 400 elo is pretty boring. 🤷 On a separate note, I play the stonewall as black against d4...I find it amazing that you actually play it against e4 because I thought that wasn't recommended. Looking forward to the series 👍
thanks for video. Aman, can you please enable notations. i.e. board coordinates . we're not experts to see where's d5 etc :) thanks
I'm very excited for a new series!
22:13 wasn't there a free rook or exchange? If he took the rook on g5 with the queen the opponent can only vacate his queen, thus allowing A man's queen to escape = free rook, or take Aman's queen and then he take the opponent's queen = up the exchange? Or was he going for another high T move?
Exactly, why not take the rook to win the exchange?
Yess, i play the dutch stonewall and i such at it hoping to learn a lot from this speedrun
57:57 checkmate on the DROP
thank you for the new Speedrun, we want more 👌
I want kings or scotch gambit speedrun..
The new KO from chess boxing LMAO
is c4 or c5 a plausible option instead of c3 or c6 for people who like playing the french and queen's gambit type openings, to incorporate the other ideas?
I'm interested in everything with a King side fianchetto. Catalan, Benoni, Grunfeld, Benko, Dragons. I'd love to see a speed run featuring those.
Nh6 really smart because after ne5, f6, then re route the knight to f7, push e5 and stonewall is screwed
what if opponent castles long?
I feel bad for these guys to play a GM, but it does help us peasants a lot, so thank you!
It's really unfair to them. His first opponent started at 415 and got kicked back to 407 just because he happened to queue up against a GM. It might be educational to us as viewers but it's very unfair to the other player who had no chance at winning and improving his score. Aman should play these using an educational account which does not affect the score of his opponents when he's playing low ranked players.
Great attacking ideas in this opening. But having seen you take advantage of weak color complexes so often on the channel I'm wondering to how high a rating can this practically be played?
looking forward to higher rated matches with this opening!
Yo the background music on this is fire. got a playlist?
what do you do when they push a pawn to c4 before you get your bish out to d3? 25:45
Keep em coming!
Keen to learn this! Need something new to try, thanks as always Aman
Aman u r the bomb, this opening is a killer!
2:30 I would consider it a "challenge run"
Should do this type of series for all the popular openings
Wonestall haha, great name
That 400 rated guy played extremely well for his rating, pretty sure he's smurfing
Probably my favorite d2 openings.
Woohoooo. New series!
Will be be getting the bullet habits on UA-cam?
i love these guys
anyone know the track id at 24:00?
like literally theres no one know this, i already check all chessbrah playlist music in spotify and yt and i dont find this song
11:16 end of Game 2
Awesome music, but I couldn't find it on Spotify :(
@1:34 when you pushed pawn at the front the black is not that stupid to play the pawn in the corner!!! In real this does not happen the opponent will play pawn at E4 and destroy your storm line at all. This game looks very smooth and every time you get to manage easily to make your storm wall but in reality it's not that at all as opponent plays knights into spare boxes before you place your knight in the middle box...!! and you will be surprised your storm wall vanished in a minute and you will loose the game!!
Wayward Queen Speedrun
Back in the day there was a psychologist, Ernest F. Pecci, who was able to successfully play against Fritz 6 using a setup like the Stonewall. The difference was that he would push his Kingside pawns. The computer couldn't deal with the horizon effect: It couldn't see that an attack was brewing and that it would get rolled. Pecci published a whole book of games that he won like this. Kasparov was impressed by this accomplishment and wrote the Foreward.
Im 720 rated only Played around 50 games . I watched this video when it came out. I won all but 1 of my gAMES today, I played 5 . I hung a queen on that game lol... But this simply works pretty well.
Where's the playlist
Yea i need the french cause i get beat up when people push that pawn to e5 on me, thats been happening alot with my stonewall at the 1250ish range. Makes me lose usually.
Waiting for the French speedrun!
Have they done it on twitch?
the stonewall against e4 looks kinda sus ngl
Waiting for Queen's gambit speedrun!
Its too confusing for me🤣🤣
What if you're white and black plays E5 and pushes through to E6. What to do?
Is the ultra low ranking to start an indication that this is a dubious opening theory?
Follow me for more Blunders 💥
Trompowky stonewall is also op
What’s the background song?
Nice, the French is finally making its way to the main channel.
What is this abomination Aman
thank u rating at 400 with your videos ill hit 1000 in no time
Was expecting this
Nice job on the Stonewall from the 500-600 video on up.
Frankly, this 400-500 is a disaster from screwball move orders to your mania to get the dark squared bishop(white) moving when it is just fine on its' original diagonal at the beginning of the game. Other problems as well.
I suggest you remove this video as it must confuse beginners in the Stonewall, and start with 500-600 in which you did very well.
Thanks again, for the series "Winning with the Stonewall." I agree 100% with your comments on the moronic use of "speed run."
Look forward to your further adventues in the Stonewall.
