The explanation of how to fight for the open file with heavy pieces is so good. Everyone needs to watch this

That rook and d file explanation was so impressive lol I calculated like two lines and was like sure white wins the d file… and Aman in his true mastery shows not only fast high level calculation but also almost instant pattern recognition… all lines I couldn’t see at all lol truly impressive… this is why I love this channel

That D file control explanation is gold

me a 1400: yeah please trash these 1800s lol 😄😄

D-file control discussion starts @ 37:45

Aman never fails to destroy his opponents with Taimanov😩

That control over the D file should be its own chessable course!

nice taking files lesson in there

60 minutes rather than 30 minutes? YES PLEASE🎉🎉

I've played the Carro Kan nearly the entire time I've been playing chess (2 years) and was getting really bored with it. The Taimanov is exactly what I've wanted as an E4 defense, it seems like tactics come up everywhere, it's solid, and it has just been really fun to play while I gain ELO. Thank you, sir.

What a lesson on the open file! 👏

Finally it seems this is the opening I will always be playing as black. I find that I'm not open to opening shenanigans with it..

Thank you so much for this series. It's incredibly instructive and interesting

I love playing this opening at my elo, there's always a pause after c5 is played. I can feel them hating the position they're about to play after the second move of the game 😂

Just in time. Was waiting for my new opening!

The open file lesson was great just by itself.

I’m 1800 and I’d blunder too in the way these guys did. There is something about this opening that just doesn’t go in my head, I don’t understand it and I don’t bother

Amazing speedrun this one ! My favorite , I’m learning a ton

This and previous video were most informative not on just openning but many principles and rules were explained which gonna help

From no chess to happy chess muppet in seven days. Created an CDC account a year ago but never played, no time.  Happened to se an episode of Amans  Stonewall Speedrun and liked the format and Amans easygoing explanations and general style. So. Stonewall Combined with Taimanov Aman style, inspired me to start playing and got me to a whopping 1205 in seven days with no prior chess experience.
Thx Chessbrah, for excellent and  inspiring content.
