& Videos
Together with Grandmaster Eric Hansen, I have been creating content on the chessbrah channel for more than 10 years. What started as Eric and me sharing our screens with one another while we played chess has transformed into an engaging live show that thousands tune in to enjoy every day.
The YouTube channel features an endless video library - from educational opening series and games against the world’s top players, to wild odds matches and impossible challenges.
Group Lessons
In collaboration with Grandmaster Eric Hansen, I offer a structured group lesson program designed for players committed to improving their chess understanding. At the moment, this program is the best way to learn until private lessons become available.
This program is ideal for motivated players seeking consistent, high-quality instruction in a relaxed learning environment.

Building Habits is the best online resource for new chess players. I wanted to create a series that presented the fundamentals of chess in a way that was both easy to understand and fun to remember.
There are now two full editions of this educational series on YouTube, and they are completely free to watch. With over 3 million views and thousands of positive reviews, this is a proven way to improve at chess. I highly encourage you to start here.

Learn Chess at your own Pace
On the chessbrah YouTube channel, you will find a wide range of free opening courses, presented in a speedrun format where I climb from 400 to 2500 ELO using the same opening system. This unique approach allows you to learn an opening through practical play - observing clear development patterns, typical middlegame plans, and precise moves against common opening responses.
In addition to these free resources, I've also developed a number of premium courses designed for players who want to elevate their game further. You can explore these courses below.
Aman showcases the Philidor Defense, a simple yet effective opening system that you can play with White and Black.
Aman discusses and demonstrates typical ideas and plans in the King’s Indian opening, playable with both colours.
