  • Well it's still early days for 2023, but I was pleased with how this game went at my recent tournament and promised an analysis video... so here it is!
    This game was played in round 2 of the Reykjavik Open 2023. My opponent was WIM Anastasiya Rakhmangulova from Ukraine, rating 2266.

    Congratulations! Agadmator and Hikaru have already called it your "Immortal". Agadmator even called it the "Simon variation" 😀

      The tabia from this game have Simon's flair stamped all over it. I've always loved his romantic attacking style, calculated risk-taking, and geometric madness. This game had it all turned up to 11. Definitely Simon Williams' Immortal.

    This is one of the best attacking chess games of the 21st century.

    This game has something Morphy about it. The efficiency of white's pieces and the raking bishops, particularly the one on a3. Brilliant game!

    I watched this live , the commentators were so excited when they saw the line (via the computer), and both agreed that they thought you would find it . Very Impressive Simon , Respect !

    I liked it when Blair called it your "immoral" game. I think from a misspelling in a chat. But that name sets it apart. In any case, this is such a brilliant and fun game. I can't get enough of it.

    I can't believe all the variations you had to calculate. That was beyond amazing! What a stunning game! This is just Art!

    Note the beautiful irony of Harry never making it off the mark - reminds me of Portugal beating the swiss 6-1 with Ronaldo on the bench!😊
    Congrats on the game Simon, truely magnificent🎉

    Been watching your content for the last 8 years or so. You greatly inspired my style (even got your killer dutch DVD and I play this opening at around 2000 level). Love to see your attacking chess!

  • @stephenwells1559

    Win or lose, I love the style of chess you play. Great to see one of your ambitious sacrifice attacks come off so well.

    Game of the year! 😄 I first saw this game here, the RUclips video with Blair Connell and Danny Gormally doing a great job commentating, with no spoilers, which was very thrilling on multiple levels, and have been waiting for you to put out your own analysis video. You are my favorite player, streamer, and teacher, so it was exciting enough just watching you compete, with Blair & others commentating. Based on the title of the video, I went into it with low expectations, really expecting it to be a "boring" game as the title suggested. Then it became so exciting and suspenseful, watching these brilliant and beautiful moves going down on the board, and so many on the internet recognizing my favorite player's outstanding game!

  • @mediocre2master9

    Simon, this Bd6 ...Bb4 Nd2! idea that we never saw on the board really just blows my mind. What a masterpiece. I will be showing this game to students for decades to come.

    It's a real pity a little 'fear' creeps in when you are playing the super GM's which stops you playing this kind of 'free spirit' chess against them.
