Win in Chess using the Stonewall | 500-600 

3:52 Kingside pawn storm + Queen's path 5:31, 9:57 Unpinning knight with queen sidestep 11:14, 12:23 Controlling e4 is essential 15:03 Save your king-side bishop 22:02 What to do when your king-side bishop gets traded off 29:55 When to play Bd3 vs f4 30:59 Beware Ne4 34:26 What to do when your king-side knight gets traded off

These 500s always capturing your e4/e5 knight... At first I was like "oof - why are they so bad?" But then I realized they're just following the habits. Good for them sticking to good habits.

Very instructive! Repeating the principles and showing how to adapt the opening according to the opponent's moves is very helpful. The Stonewall also improved my attacking chess. Thanks a lot!

I'm straight up a chessbrah student. I learned a lot from these. love the content!

I've been playing the stonewall a bit after watching this. It is quite effective but it can be devastating to your own position if you play a move out of order. haha I'm still learning it.

I'll be honest - didn't think I'd get much out of a video of Aman beating up 500s using the Stonewall, but it's amazing how instructive he consistently is. Great vid and keep em' coming!

just what i was waiting for! loved the first episode and am already hooked

This is the second time I am watching this series. Things make much more sense after playing the opening yourself and I get to appreciate much more how stunning some of the attacking sequences are that come out of Aman's Stonewall. 👍👍👍

Other famous stonewalls throughout history: The Great Wall of China, China Hadrian's Wall, Great Britain Aurelian's Wall, Rome Avila, Spain Essaouira, Morocco Greater Zimbabwe, Zimbabwe The ramparts of Old Quebec, Canada Sacsayhuaman, Cusco Castillo San Felipe de Barajas, Cartagena Know your facts!

Aman, I really appreciate the work you do! This is definitely helpful for not just learning an opening but the plan for the opening. Most people just memorize moves but you are really helping me to understand the ideas

love this stomewall please keep up the good work we enjoy i really want to soo more of that stone :)

Been waiting for Wonestall

The Stonewall cannot fail, it can only be failed.

Stonewall rule of thumb to keep in mind: 17:17 for practical purposes always play ne4 before castling in positions like this! castling first gives them Ng5 Qe7 f4 which is annoying to attack.

Keep these coming mr editor ty

I like aman way of playing..coz not only he do the speed run but also teach every purpose behind the move so instructively!!!!!

Love it, thanks brah

29:32 winning with all your pawns left like that seems fun

00:10 white 4:38 black 10:14 white 14:37 white 16:26 black 21:46 black 29:52 white

Whoever made this thumbnail needs a raise lmao

So glad u chose this opening...... This stonewall is legit af

The Stonewall is jacked, son.

Lad is drinking that Somersby Cider

Love this!

2:19. 1.-----P-h6 ( instead of P-g6 ), and white still has the upper hand. 2.R-f3 P-f5, 3.R-g3 for starters. I'll be watching for games where black gets B-f5 in.

12:16. Instead of 1.----P-a6, 1.----N-g4, 2.Q-d2 followed by P-h3. No. 2.P-h3 N-e3, 3.Q-e2 and the black knight is trapped.

Good series!

Nice timing I just started playing stonewall.

I've been playing this opening as White on 10 minute games. It's a monster. I went from 1000 to 1200 in a week. I can't wait to practice some more and go back to 5 min games and see how good it works there at 1000 elo. I play the Hippo as black. I love these guys.

I've been trying this out a little bit. It's very hard for me to get the setup and to attack, because it is very different from how I usually play, but I think that is a good way for me to learn

Man gotta feel for those new guys who just got absolutely ran over.

I wonder how this opening will fair against higher rated players, especially since he's forcing this pawn structure even though, with correct counter play, she should be ending up with either a vulnerable king, a bad bishop or a damaged pawn structure. Like best case scenario a closed postion, and in a blitz game, winning or loosing in closed postions literally becomes a coin toss. This is going to be fun and interesting to watch once he's high up on the ladder

haha it took me almost 2 episodes to get it. Wonestall- great name!

You make it look so easy 💯

Not sure I'd use this over the Jerome, but a good alternative.

10:43. This is an important line in this opening. How to handle the threat to the f-pawn?

not gonna lie, this minature is kinda hot

I don't get what's so entertaining about these smurf videos, it's the exact same as an olympic runner giving an average person a headstart they're not gonna learn anything from being crushed by a gm

That bishop is like the Ugly Duckling!! Ooh BABY!

+ what is good about the stonewall - what do you meeean lmao. I used to watch a youtuber that played the stonewall, ages ago, he played on chesscube

Stonewall Jackson.

The stone wall... very interesting. The real question is why can't I get the Nestle chocolate pecan turtles here in DC.... I have to order then from Canada! It's tragic.

Stone Wall is OP!

TroutLegend put more effort into his logo than his chess game.

What are your options if your opponent keeps your knight pinned to the queen so that you can't go knight E5?

If only Ian had watched this before the WCC, he could've won.

i see it but i dont believe it...this is too lethal an opening.....please play this against eric or gotham chess......put it to the test with the big boys.....this is the best opening by far...crushing

I SAY STONE YOU SAY WALL

STONEWALL PAWNSON!!!

I remember when my teacher teach me about the Stonewall. He said it's a easy, safe and powerful opening. Indeed is a strong opening but not so safe and easy when you are a newbie. You can easily f*ck up the whole composition.

Nice!

Checkmate in under 20 moves can happen in any opening at this level

@19:28... He got that bishop, though!

Can you win in chess by using the Gaslight?

Let’s goooo

Always found it kinda sad when GMs act like 500s and destroy the confidence of newer players

Do you have the speedrun of the french?

this is why i only play the computer...

I wish Aman would have a match against Sara since she said that Stonewall is the worst..

What if you're white and black plays E5 and pushes through to E6. What to do?

trust me guys. just hit the like button before watching, it's gonna be great!

Don't take that knight.

Like taking Dubs from a Baby.

A 1400 austrian noob hung is rook and called me a cheater! )) gg @brah

Rook Lift for the win

Aman must be cheating or something, 24:50 is a forced en passant in my book

There is Gotham who sells his crappy courses after he got retired by Eric Rosen, and there are the Brahs sharing GM knowledge for free. It's like Jah Rule vs Eminem, no questions asked!

Heyo

well i am early

forst
