GMAman Hambleton
Canadian Chess Grandmaster and ChessBrah Co-Host
Aman Hambleton earned the Grandmaster title in 2018, becoming Canada's 10th GM. He is best known as the co-host of ChessBrah alongside GM Eric Hansen, a Canadian chess entertainment brand that has built one of the largest streaming audiences in the chess world. The ChessBrah YouTube channel has surpassed 387,000 subscribers with over 244 million total views, and the Twitch channel counts more than 338,000 followers.
Aman's streaming style blends competitive bullet and blitz chess with humor and viewer interaction. Since around 2019, he has focused primarily on content creation rather than competitive play, though he continues to represent Canada in team events. ChessBrah is a full-scale operation including stream content, educational series, meet-ups, and major event commentary. The team also streams on Kick, giving the brand a presence across multiple live platforms.
Beyond streaming, Aman offers structured chess courses through his personal website, amanhambleton.com, targeting players who want to improve their game with guidance from a working GM. He is active across YouTube, Twitch, Kick, TikTok, and Instagram, and has a FIDE profile for official rating records.
For anyone exploring chess content on the internet, ChessBrah is one of the most recognized names, and Aman is a key part of why that brand has the reach it does.
