Absolutely brilliant. I don't think people appreciate how difficult it must be to play clearly good players while still explaining every move in a blitz time control!!!
20:45 the poem you're thinking of is The Raven by Edgar Allen Poe. The famous line is "quoth the raven, nevermore." Not evermore, but still a great one :)
Simply the best, Simon is about the only Chess YT that is engaging and enjoyable to watch in the long term 👍
Bortnyk is dope too
only the recorded vids. streams you can just skip over them
You haven’t discovered Naroditsky?
@@makermake295 he sucks
@@joketer34 why?
Beating an 1800+ opponent in 12 moves really highlights how good this guy is. It really puts titled Tuesday into perspective as well!
These speedrun videos are awesome Simon, keep them coming. 👍
This series is absolutely incredible! Really helpful and really like your style Simon! Please go on!
The game on 12:17 is next level of ruthlessness! INSANE!!
That 11 move-checkmate was nasty. Another great episode!
Nice 1st game, showed the difference between a GM and a 2000, using an array of tactics and positional awareness way beyond most people's ability, especially mine. The 2nd game with the Queen sac was sexy. I think your opponent had Nc7 with a fork in the 3rd game?
Hope you're playing Titled Tuesday later, Simon. A couple of hours of Harry launching, rage quitting, pipe smoking chess will do nicely for a Tuesday afternoon!
My favourite gm in commenting and explaining chess
Wow Simon. I've been playing the QG for about a year now and I was not aware of that trap you played in game 2. Since the Chigorin is pretty rare I hadn't looked at anything specific to it. I'm positive I've had that exact same position to set up the trap a number of times. Will keep a look out in future. Cheers.
I'm a real fan of the intro. The animation and music are awesome !
Very well played and good instructions for us. In the last game both of you blundered that the opponent could have forked your knight but it was on the clock so we, most of us, missed it. Cheers!
At no point could his opponent have forked his knight.
@@ChocolateMilk.. ok
Great video! 27:19 Nc7 forks
Great video! Always enjoy watching you play and learning.
22:17 Black's plan revolves around having control of the d4 square. However, with f7-f5, you give White the option of playing the sequence exf5, Bxc6, and d3-d4 at any time.
Wonderful GM Simon! You are my favorite GM Speedrunner!
Nice games and commentary!
There is a fork in 27:23 second why did he not do it
Very helpful thanks!
Awesome Simon, I'm trying to understand the Sicilian better and that certainly helped
Thank you very instructional!!!!!!! My favorite videos on the net!!!!!
27:19 Nc7+ forks king and rook. White wins.
Thanks for the awesome videos, Simon.
Amazing content! Nice t-shirt.
At 27:22 you and your opponent made a blunder. I think he could win the game by Knight c7, forking your rook and king.
Good video though, nice tips.
Was 27:20 not blundering a fork? Why haven't you been afraid of losing the exchange here?
The poem you could not remember is called The Raven by Edgar Allan Poe
simon im watching this game, the third game i think, your opponent had knight c7+ forking king and rook oh man!!!
Love your videos! But would love them even more if you played 10 or 15 min games :)
I improve my chess and English by watching him. Please more videos.
Love these
At 25:35 instead of the stupid move f5.... had White played Qf3! threatening both Bxc6 and Qxh5+ I guess Black would have been in deep... trouble!!
Nice one Simon
Hello Simon ty from Chile
I love the intro - very eurotrash!
hahaha Eurotrash, that brought back memories.
It's edgar allan poe. There is also a famous simpson treehouse of horror exactly about this poem.
Edgar Allen Poe, quoth The Raven, nevermore!
I wish these were 12 hours long
Shouldn't the first opponent have done rook lift early in the game and go for counter attack. I think he had an excellent position for example @ 5:07
Great speedrun. The plural of "tempo" is "tempi", though.
Nice video 🧐🎩
I've beaten 2000s, but I still blunder free pieces against 1500s. Random blindness strikes often.
Also at 26:22 Rxf5 wins a clear pawn for White if I'm not missing anything... (note that Qxg5 Rxg5 Bh6 is not possible due to the pin on the black king)
If Rxf5, then Black can reply with Qxg5. Black has Rf2+ at the end, picking up the knight.
@@유학EssayCoach yep... true... I missed that!
Ginger beards unite!
Simon !!!!!
Appreciate vids. May to please explain to me why I’m 1500 rating at 5min blitz, but 1000 at 3min blitz?
Is the a way to improve at 3min?
What’s your rapid rating?
The Sicilian looks like a promising opening for black. Is there much theory to learn? 😆🤷♂️
original intro ftw
At 27.25 didn't you blunder a fork?
Kudos to Harry
Isn't it "bishop f8, no mate"?
Simon next speed run up the time in the games. You’re doing too much at once, give yourself a chance to breath lol
Edgar Allan Poe - never more quoth the raven
Edger Allen Poe
Did you mean Edgar Allan Poe?
Edgar Allan Poe
yes disturbing intro!
Snail run 🐌 😂😂😂😂😂🤣🤣
.. maybe stick to rapid? Seems like you're already at your peak blitz rating.
