Aman brother. Wanted to check in and give you a big ass THANK YOU! for this Philidor speedrun. Saved me from an opening rut I was in and it's so cool to see your thinking in the meanwhile. All love to you man!

[jamiebackster]

I love these series. They are the only opening series that are laid out in a way I understand - enough to actually use over the board in my games and not get confused move 3 when the opponent does something random

[Michael-pqr]

I watch a lot of chess videos and try the specific openings they share. These are by far the best and most instructive. Thanks!!

[Tom-uhok]

Im not even kidding I went from 1600-1800 in two weeks of playing this opening

[NarrativeCombat]

Insane how people are still dropping the E pawn at 1200, I thought the Kings Indian speedrun was bad. 😂

[Michael-pqr]

Also want to say that I don’t usually play 3 min games and I started around 700, but I cruised to 1100 in a few days. Still going strong.

[edbowenjr]

Gave some links for black lion games on comment. About 200. Good stuff

[nomer]

every speed run this happens, in between elos play worse than their juniors

[Michael-pqr]

People do hang a lot of pieces but I think it’s the 3 minute aspect and they’re just rushing.

Day 7 of asking if Eric is still alive

[dakkdak]

I don't understand how I am so trash at chess. This is probably the easiest and most brain-dead opening for either black or white, and yet I'm still hard stuck 750. I think I'm just gonna give up chess after 3-4years of playing. this shit is not for me and I will never learn, even with videos like this series

[mateah]

Imagine if Aman did this speedrun for 10min rapid 🤤🤤🤤 blunderfree centrepawns from 800 and up and we get to see what this opening is REALLY capable off, honestly if Aman did that and was selling that speedrun as a course id be "sign me up!!" for the price of an 8th of trees? Id be more than okay with that 😌

[griffingish]

Next speedrun gotta be more open positions please :)

[hichamanf]

Hi Aman, could you please play black lion variation?

[TaylorFade]

I have probably 200 games with this opening at closer to the opening ELO than the current one since you started this series and I have only won that pawn maybe 2-3 times. I don't get it

[EazZieD]

what happened to the other guy on this channel ?

[OsbornsConcise]

The 1200s I play against all play like GMs, while his opponents hang pawns and pieces left and right

[jonnyb]

I've been playing Philidor exclusively since speedrun started. Haven't scooped a single e4 pawn...

[alejandron]

What does one need to do to meet you guys? Just travel to Calgary and ring your doorbell?
Win some sort of contest?
Chessbrah!

[samtaylor]

Im having absolutely no gain with this opening. If anything im always worse out of the opening. Have yet to see a hanging pawn. Theres definitely that grand master in him steering this in the right direction at all times
