I'm interested in  watching a beginner/intermediate series about Catalan, if at all possible, just like you did with Taimanov sicilian and this one, really like the way you explain basic and overarching plans instead of just going for move orders like most tutorials. Just an idea for future series :)

Game 4 is a really impressive showing by this1127. Playing this well, going this long without blundering anything major, you'd think they were rated a bit higher.

23:24 There it is.

not even 2 minutes in and indeed - The free piece speedrun continues!

23:28
Important choosing when to reveal your cloaked bishop. More GMs should talk about this.

Pac man at 24 min had me dying.

24:30 lovely King walk😂

That king walk on game 4 , taking all his pawns was fly 😎

My ELO after watching this and the habits series 📈

Gold mine series!  I'm at 1200 and trying to settle on the Zukertort.  It can branch a lot so I need to absorb the basic principles and themes.  Having your GM comments on these is very valuable.   I'm watching these shows repeatedly.  I would say... skip the non-Zuke games in favor of more of those.

An early c2-c4 is not a standard part of the opening but is usually liked by the engine, and where it fits I find it helps me against ~1300 bots.

Thank you.

Pawn Fork in the center of the board is so funny, I got it with this opening, just do it.

I’m loving this series and hope someday you’ll treat us to a series on the Vienna.

adding to that comment about 10 mins in about differences between it and stonewall, this setup is much harder to crack even if your opponent knows buch of theory because it's positionally too sound while stonewall has a lot of exploits like g3 Bg2 Nh3 setup for white vs stonewall dutch just plays itself without any effort if white knows what to do 15 moves deep and it's almost hard to lose, similarly it becomes very hard to play for stonewall player if your opponent knows king's indian setup very well if they didn't start with d4/d5 but like knight out forst move. the colle zukertorf is just unexploitable, even if your opponent equalizes, plays sound etc. too they have to grind the position forever to prove any advantage. i don't want to talk down on stonewall, cuz especially under 2000 it's still a killer opening type (maybe even for both sides), but i like that one more long term if someone is trying to improve cuz it's like more versatime, it's not all in attack which can be parried using some knowledge

Love the way you box like you chess.

I have finally figured out what I"m doing wrong. Thank you! I just wasn't playing enough techno music. Seriously, I gained around 100 elo from making that switch. I think I always let garbage whatever videos play, and they distracted me. Having a good music source honestly helped a lot.
Oh, and I love the Zukertort. I'm waiting to see if you get to the double bishop sacrifice line. Haven't seen it yet.

Love this. Time to see more middgame plans with this speed run. Show time ! Thank You very much Mr. GM

I've been using this opening since the series came out.  Pretty fun.

Amans videos are the best, funny, educational, honest and savage. But when does Aman stream? Haven't seen him on the chessbrah channel live yet.

So this is the "opponent hangs piece to b2 bishop"-speedrun.

Its not clear why we picked the different set up for game 5

1:52 literally watch this video the next day fell for the same trap and did not understand why I could just take his night out of the middle of the board X-Force 0-2
