Only watched 2 games, then rewatched 1st one just to realise Amin calculated 12 moves ahead with many possible under variations!!!
Plus...Ke3 Kd4🥶🥶🥶🥶😱😱😱😱😱 with Queen and Rook both under attack💣💣💣👀
Those are unbelievable vision and calculation skills😲😲😲
Chapeau 👏👏👏👏
And what about counterintuitive c6 (explaining why Nc3 was better than Nd2) in 2nd game if I remember correctly (not rewatched yet)? Brilliant
I can't wait for next 8 games!!!
Thank you for sharing 🙏

I did enjoy all the games! Last Ra6 Bh3 Qh3 Rg6 moves in game 10 were again brilliant. Thank you so much Amin and chessmood for these opportunities.
Let's close with Amin's words: 1 chessmood video a day keeps blunders away!2😆😁🤞

Another great chessmood series! Was very excited, cause GM Amin is very tactical and at the same time super positional universal player, who plays KIA and KID, which is in my repertoire as well. And what awesome games are presented! Personally for me 3 most impressive games were:
Game 3 against Sadhwani - excellent opening prep and Bd5 wow
Game 8 vs Rahman - amazing g6-g5-g4 concept and brutal attack with sacs
Game 9 positional masterpiece with N vs B domination the whole game, just wow
Thanks and looking for the next chapter!
