Grandmaster Teaches The London System | Part 1 

“Don’t use all your time when there’s one legal move” this is the GM level advice I come here for

He committed his whole life to winning the bishop and sacrificed so much until he finally achieved his dream…but at what cost

31:59 "Once you blunder a piece, it's harder to blunder more pieces." Savage. Aman's dry wit is hilarious.

Really good content, I enjoy all of this instructional series cause I learn a lot from them. And you Aman are definitely my favorite "chess coach", I like your clarity in explaining and also your personality :)

Fantastic both fun and informative. Here’s what makes you different - others will say “ok if he makes that move then I make this move”, but you say “ok if he makes that move then I make this move AND HERE’s WHY”. The WHY is the only way we really learn! Bravo!!

Hi GM Aman, I would like to thank you for all the previous tutorials, your this channel and chessbrah Extra helped me a lot in climbing up the ratings from 350 Elo to 800 Elo. I will keep learning and climb higher. Thanks once again!

What? I LOVED this system & YOU convinced me it was "low T" 🤣

I really like your slow, intelligent games against GM's, but I *LOVE* watching you destroy my fellow amateurs 👍

I really like the sense of humor which Aman demonstrates. The less pieces you have on the board, the less the chance you will blunder. Genius! Also he was so serious when he discussed the future of his future wife. Hilarious. Bravo Aman!

This series is a great service for humanity. I was thinking to study The London System and with your playlist i can see too many ways to play it. Thank you very much!

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.

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!

I am super excited for this! You are the best chess commentator on RU-vid I think.

"It's recommended that you use your time to think BEFORE you're lost."

Good stuff Aman. Keep this London series up

I love this. I've going through the king's indian speenrun, this time actually taking notes and I must say, it's nice not having to only rely on tactics👌🏾, cause as a 1300, i'm bound to make a few blunders. Thank you

The London System series was incredibly helpful, so much that now this is my go-to opening for white!! Definitely watching your openings series!!

Thank you! I've been playing the London for quite some time now and this is going to be GREAT!!!!

14:44 knight to d5 looking for c7 pins to punish Queen trade. No way to stop

I love Eric Handsome and watching him play.. but Aman as a chess coach is unbeatable

"Once you blunder a piece, its harder to blunder more pieces" brah hasn't watched my 500 elo ass blunder every move 😂😂😂

I watched your Kings Indian videos and they’ve greatly helped me improve my rating and play-style, so thank you very much. I hope to learn much more from this series! Keep up the good work!

Aman you're a freaking legend! Will definitely add this series to the botez Queen's gambit and habits!

I am new here, but I'm living for the humor around 25-26 minutes in 😂

Nice to see Aman representing the UK

The only thing I learned from that first game is that Aman is like a cat playing with his food.

It's really funny to watch GM's listen to music in background while for me I need my TOTAL Concertation. Even if i get a msg i'll get distracted and it will me like 30-45sec to get my concertation in the game.

LET'S FUCKING GO! Super hype for this series!!!

Really like your various series! Could you include some black games on how to play against the London as well?

The "in between" moves he makes are perfect.

I like how a trade of pieces were you just lose a pawn at the end is considered "unplayable" for GM while I don't hesitate one sec to hang my queen to fork to pawns with my knight.

That was very, very useful; well put together, well explained, and well illustrated. See you in part 2!! Cheers.

the only thing that preventing me from breaking 500 is part 2, release please

Let’s all low key keep in mind and clip the 26:00 min mark the very day that our boy gets hitched. We need it prepared for when that time comes

I play the London, but I never really go bishop H3, I'm adding that to my repertoire. Thanks.

Medprince just couldn’t find king takes queen that’s all

You really lack self awareness when you know the rules to quitting so well you can strategically quit

Is this a re-upload from way back? I feel like I watched this same video from you a while ago.

much love for the brahs

Question: If I move me queens pawn to d4 and my opponent immediately moves his pawn to e5, what do I do?

Great commentary. easy to follow. Thanks!

Okay so when you mentioned giving him more time I looked at the length of the video and got scared.

Great series man - thanks!!

Hell yeah. I have wanted you to do a London series!

This was EXACTLY the video I needed man! all of the london instruction videos are great and all, but almost none of them show actual real games, just lines and common replies that black can do. Seeing the London being played many times over in actual games along with your instructions on how to handle black's replies has been amazingly helpful and hope to see more in the future! You've got a new subscriber man, thanks!

16:05 I train puzzles in the background when they are rage stalling so I can get even stronger!

Im just curious instead of tucking away the bishop why not back the bishop against the kings rook pawn. That is a good place to have an open file room if you castle on the queen side.

Sir your king's Indian series was fantastic I watched the series couple of times and I applied the system and won a lot a games just keep going with this type of content

The LaurentiuPatrascu guy was Romanian, proud af to be one too lmao

Rage stalling 😂😂

Now to wait until the 1700 section so I can finally breakthrough.

Aman hambleton: "Low t opening" Also aman: .... 😂

Lol. Rage stalling is a good word.

Just what I need right now! love you Aman

Rage quitting I always report them.

This was amazing content, but what was that sound at 20:47 ? I thought I heard something? 😂😂😂

I learned how to rage-stall it isn't as difficult as I thought

I've been waiting for this!

So... if I'm following the building habits playlist and I'm getting close to 800 should I switch to this opening for white, or stick with what is listed in building habits?

I was rage stalling as I was watching this

awesome stuff hambo

Loved this for learning the london system. Music bugged me a little but content made it tollerable. Loose it to make experience better imo. Thank you 💚

Been waiting for this pls moreeee

Love your content...keep it going brother😁

He missed a queen snipe with the dark square bishop with pinning the king infront of the queen to force it

39:38 bro that board and the one on my screen are identical mid game lol

Hilarious commentary!

14:45 Nb5 would have been funny, preparing to fork after Qxa8. Hahaha

When you have 1 legal move, look for better.

Better than any london course

kings indian was more my speed, but lets make it fun learning new stuff

whats up? the cost of living my friend

finally my type of chess

Huberdeau signing though? Lets go bud!

I love this style!

Oh hells ya! I'll be watching this one!

Oh buddy, buddy, buddy... I really wanted to watch this video, but the goddawful techno in the background made it impossible.

So you recommend just regular London stuff against kings indian? Or do you guys think c4 is a good option?

Aman why do you have a video that's hidden

Typing words for helpings

Good teaching skills...

gm smurfing and complaining about rage stalling lol

board theme? or setting

5:54 thats a checkmate right ? did he miss is it ?

38:31 I would have never made the move Bg5, then trade for the knight on f6. I had it drilled into my head that a bishop for knight is a bad trade, so I wouldn't even consider it. The way you explained how pinning the knight on f6 is an indirect way of pressuring d5 and eventually winning the pawn was super helpful and very informative. Then the way you retreat back to avoid discover attack, comfortably up a pawn... chef's kiss my friend.

what are these 800 players! I swear when u are a 1200 they are playing some solid theory against you

If only you had mated that first guy with a pawn promoted to bishop

Reference the "rage stalling," in the 2nd game. Shouldn't this be a reportable offense? I understand that people get mad when they are getting blown out but this stalling is not in the spirit of the game. Thumbs up if you agree.

Great content, just the music in the background gets annoying… its like being put on hold… I appreciate your videos though and i will be watching and learning… keep up the good work and I recommend losing the dull beat on future series…

FLAMES! 🤠

What was the first player doing, non of what he did made any sense😅

Im relatively new to chess but why are all of his opponents sooo salty? 🤣🤣

No, for crying out loud, rage stalling absolutely should not be rewarded. That's crazy.

English / najdorf version of this please

as a fellow 1k-1.2k elo player, it's crazy how many people rage at the game. if i win, rage, if i'm losing trash talk. bruh we're both like 1100 elo why you getting so mad

lol rage stalling😂

I like The London System

Hi. Can you remove the background music?

Oh no has Aman gone low T?
