Wanted to shoot a big shout out to this video series. Hit my highest ever rating of 1528 today. I had hit a plateau of mid 1300-1400s and been stuck in this range for over 1000 games. Finally beating my peak rating I got during Covid lock down. Incredibly cathartic. Thanks so much Aman
It’s because of this series that I play the French. I tried playing stonewall as black then studied my games and the engine basically said “don’t play this, just play the French as black”
We have arrived at my level but still I haven’t seen the stonewall with black. 1e4e6 2 d4d5 3e5… and now. I really hope you will show what to do against this line.
In the full vods aman plays f5 anyways and hopes they take en passant to try to transpose into something similar, however most games don't end up following the themes of the stonewall so I guess they've excluded it.
what do i do when i have the black pieces and they start with pawn E4? They always push that pawn and i can't develop my knight. Anyone knows how i can prevent this?
You cant stop it, but instead of playing for knight e5, you are now doing the same setup as if you were trying to get a knight to e5 and playing for pawn to e4 opening up the center.
At the end the little : "Wow! Look at you! You made it to the end..." kind of hurts me. I devour your content brahs and I'm not the only one, nothing special.

Which game was not?

Same lol
That’s what Aman suggested to do at the beginning of the first stonewall video.
i think this opening as black is not about best moves, but about throwing your opponent off. would work on me 🤷
He does that every single time as black against e4, and sees if they let him transpose to the stonewall or not.

Maestro, gracias de nuevo.. Un abrazo
Aman’s a humble goat
Would like to see some games as black where: e4 e6, d4 d5, and then what to do if White plays e5.
9:37 this game was absolute destruction

Great content to learn more of this great GM

I play Stonewall with White and Caro-Kann with Black if I see E4.
@@Aijendo Yeah, me too.
I play it as the French instead, or just go for a Sicilian
@@KrisRoxas Adv. French = White has the annoying E5 Pawn. Black answers with C5 and both Bishops are blocked. Not what I´d like to play normaly.

“I may not know where you come from… but as for me, give me Liberty or give me death!”
Yeah, 29:00-Black Knight F4 intrusion. Good reminder.
stonewall szn baby
What's the music @19.45...???
wtf do you do against e5 push
just go into a caro kann has been my best idea
Might be time to put SaltyClown on the payroll.
I think this opening is boring. I just watch because Aman cracks me up!
Look at you. Lol
Steinveggen er tilbake! ❤👃❤
HLNS
I love your videos! But why, oh why do you guys do this premoving nonsense? Is it a form of showing off? All it does is confuse!
Everyone hikaru is the greatest bullet player of all time. Alireza is second I've seen how accurate he can be. I bet Hikaru will win🤫🤫🤫🤫🤫
