I have to say that I watch most of the main RUclips chess content providers: Eric, Levi and Daniel included but, yours are so accessible and accommodating to someone of my level. Fabulously instructive and a reminder to me that there is no rush....control the centre, develop your pieces, castle etc. Brilliant. Thank you so much👍
You are fantastic! I really enjoy the series and not only because of the knowledge of such a GM like you but the fun of listening and playing jokes even on yourself just make it so easy to watch and really enjoyable. Thanks very much!
I love this series because 1) no one else does this to the level of analysis that you do and 2) it's basically the things we need to hear at this level
In Simon's Killer Dutch Rebooted course he gives the set up with developing the light square bishop to b7 and the dark square bishop to d6 to oppose the "London Bishop"
the London can be quite challenging against the Dutch… I’ve been trying the Leningrad with an early d6 to blunt the London Bishop and putting my bishops on g7 and b7. I definitely don’t recommend the Stonewall lol
your speedruns are superb. in true GingerGM spirit even speedruns are used to help and teach others. I've only seen something similar from John Bartholomew and Aman Hambleton. Thank you for offering your time to help us understand our mistakes
Lovin it Ginger G. I am a 2000ish level player and I still find these basics informative. Really looking forward to the higher level games in the 1500-1900 range!
This is the best series... Keep on doing more of these simon... These are fun and really helps to improve the chess understanding... Thank you very much ❤️
Finally a GM who also seems to play the greatest 1100s who ever lived as I do. Every other speed run series the 1600s lose on move four, making me wonder where my automatic title is. Good to see the tactical genius beginners come alive and make a pro sweat it out. I still hate this game, but I feel a little bit better about myself. Not a lot, but at least a little. Thanks, GingerGM
24.08 ...Ng4 is mate in 4. The threat is Qh2 mate and white can only delay the inevitable by Qxd6, losing the queen with ...cxd6, then Rc1 gives the king a temporary escape square, but ...Qh2+ ...Kf1, Qh1#.
Still worse for him because his opponent can get knight, bishop and pawn for a rook, but yeah, definitely better than what happened in the game. 1. e6 Rxd3 2. Qxd3 exd6 (2. dxc7 Rxd1+ 3. Kxd1 Nxd7)
24:12 Missed Checkmate. what do you think about bishop h3? His pawn cant take and if he does rook f3 you can queen g2 checkmate. If he doesnt move his rook or anything after you play bishop h3 you can knight f3 check and if he takes queen g2 checkmate. If he moves his king to h1 you can play queen h2 checkmate.
Can confirm for whatever reason 95% of players around 1200 blitz out every single move in 2 seconds without any thought whatsoever. I'm the opposite where I play too slow, get to a winning position but have 20 seconds left vs my opponents 4 minutes. Moral of the story is bad players like us shouldn't be playing blitz lol
yeah, same here. Against similar rated players I tend to be behind on time but my position is often better. Then i speed up a lot and make blunders and its hit or miss whether i win or lose. So Blitz is entertaining but not great for my chess development. Longer games are more satisfying but then you need to commit some time, right?
i'm confused, why do you say at 17:17 white's bishop is better at g5? Its hanging there. Do you mean around 16:37 white should develop it there? But then black can just kick it away with f6.
Simon channels Linda Ronstadt (It's So Easy) @ 8:40. NICE comeback Simon you really sweated out that first game with the victory. Love your channel, ty. Simon wins game #2 and thx opponent for the respectful resignation @ 15:20.
@@TheMrInfantaria This . I guess play is a shorthand for counter-play? Meaning he / she gets attacking chances . They end up in a position in which threats can be posed despite material disadvantage
I was thinking the same thing. I just checked with an engine and Qxb7 was the only winning move. Fortunately for the speedrun the opponent blundered further.
What? Grandmasters are people too? What a GM! Missing #1, later #2 (or 3, sorry), wow, what a school! I mean that message is the best lesson we patzers can get ... thnx and cheers!
You can split a chessgame in three stages. It starts with opening theory. Second stage is the ability to calculate. Third is technique. Having a plan or a strategy is just a fancy way of saying what chess is all about; taking your opponents pieces/King.
Simon Ginger GM I have or rather can handle those 1000-1400 to 1500-1800 but i do feel like those guys do cheat 1500-1800 I believe they do cheat Simon so can you do something about that i find that i do enjoy 10min videos because it is an honest chess game no one wants to waste 10min cheating and not enjoying but like i said am i wrong or right
I understand its important to vent. Playing cheaters is no fun. Simon does not like cheaters either. But we shouldn't expend a lot of energy getting upset. Report them if you think it is very clear, and move on to the next game. I prefer to learn how to improve my chess - this video gives me positive energy and confidence to play better. Thank you Simon!
is IM Rosen just super strong, or are you a very weak GM? Would love to see you two box it out on the board. Still, respect for you posting this, yikes. Fun watch regardless!

For some reason I just don’t believe that you are a gm. Something seems off and they are at a different level. For example. at 24:12 kg4 wins the game easy. I’m not even that good a player and I found it. How can you prove that you are gm?

My favourite YT chess channel. Great explanations and entertaining as always. This speedrun series is especially useful for ageing hackers like me!
Your narration is so crystal clear, so easy to follow up and entertaining. Thank you for this great work!
Best chess teacher out there! Keep it up Simon.
Love the series keep them coming... maybe a dedicated video for the Dutch vs the London setup?

Great content - these are some of the most valuable tutorials for me
Awesome Simon. Thank you.
24:09 I would have played Ng4 instead of grabing the h4 pawn
Nd4 is better.
Great again GGM. Really enjoying the explanations
You should post those videos even more ! It’s sooo good ! It feels like a Netflix tv show that we don’t wanna to see the end !
At 8:38 is Qh2 not direct checkmate?
Thanks for these! Get this man 1M followers!
Nice Speed run brotha Simon! You got me inspired to try it.
Brilliant video thanks very much for it!
I'm subbing because you winked at me at the end.
At 24:38, why not play Nd3 forking the queen and the rook? Any ideas from white like Rf5 (attacking black queen) are covered by black's bishop.
Yea that seems to win a whole Rook. I think he was just too distracted by his own talking to notice it.
Finally a GM who also seems to play the greatest 1100s who ever lived as I do. Every other speed run series the 1600s lose on move four, making me wonder where my automatic title is.

Simon "I don't get scared' Williams does it again.
24:07; N-d6 forks white's queen and rook.
24.08 ...Ng4 is mate in 4. The threat is Qh2 mate and white can only delay the inevitable by Qxd6, losing the queen with ...cxd6, then Rc1 gives the king a temporary escape square, but ...Qh2+ ...Kf1, Qh1#.
Love these!!! Thank you!
Great explanations from the OG, thanks!
Great content!!
Great teaching style. Thanks. I don’t know what gchess is, but I’m heading over there to check it out now.
33:33 ARRR! Simon you're a ginger pirate!
I'm enjoying your informative videos. Great content and explanations. Thank you.
Good points made, as usual! Yep, this should help indeed.
4:06 Why not block queen with e6, so both rook and queen are attacked. You don't lose a piece.
Still worse for him because his opponent can get knight, bishop and pawn for a rook, but yeah, definitely better than what happened in the game. 1. e6 Rxd3 2. Qxd3 exd6 (2. dxc7 Rxd1+ 3. Kxd1 Nxd7)
Yes, better. In that case, i think white can play Rxd3, getting two pieces for the rook
@@Josh-cz3ym Exactly
Fantastic video! Thank you
24:12 Missed Checkmate. what do you think about bishop h3? His pawn cant take and if he does rook f3 you can queen g2 checkmate. If he doesnt move his rook or anything after you play bishop h3 you can knight f3 check and if he takes queen g2 checkmate. If he moves his king to h1 you can play queen h2 checkmate.

Playing good positional chess should take most of your time unless your opponent blunders. Your opponents are simply playing to quick.
yeah, same here. Against similar rated players I tend to be behind on time but my position is often better. Then i speed up a lot and make blunders and its hit or miss whether i win or lose. So Blitz is entertaining but not great for my chess development. Longer games are more satisfying but then you need to commit some time, right?
More Speedrun please Mr Williams!
Using more time and constantly figuring out what my opponent wants to do really helps a lot! I'm on a 10 games winning streak already
Almost some top-rate blagging
Great video... I learned so much from u. Really my fav. chess player ❤️ 😄
Do you also sell bridges across the Hudson? (I lost that piece on purpose)
I'm not much of a sweater but chess also gives me sweaty armpits too! Love your work Simon
Great video! you make it look so easy to spot a weak move I believe I can do it, until the next time I play...
i'm confused, why do you say at 17:17 white's bishop is better at g5? Its hanging there. Do you mean around 16:37 white should develop it there? But then black can just kick it away with f6.
Very helpful!
Why don’t you play on a 10 minute time control ?
i think its so he can get more games into the video.
Love these speedruns
Simon channels Linda Ronstadt (It's So Easy) @ 8:40. NICE comeback Simon you really sweated out that first game with the victory. Love your channel, ty. Simon wins game #2 and thx opponent for the respectful resignation @ 15:20.
4:00 what is wrong with e6 here?
Brotherr... . why didn't you take b7 bishop with your queen at 7:12...?
But Simon you have played hippo. So it's not bad just passive right? That means one just got to lear it right?
First game:why not pushing the pawn to attack the queen and then take the rook?
Superb. As is tradition.
2:02 - "But then he gets some play"
I've heard that expression more than once, what does it mean?
Thanks in advance.
I think he meant the opponent might start a quick counter-attack
He gets counterplay. He gets his own chances to try for the initiative/ an attack
@@TheMrInfantaria This . I guess play is a shorthand for counter-play? Meaning he / she gets attacking chances . They end up in a position in which threats can be posed despite material disadvantage
07:15 I would have taken the bishop (Qxb7)
I was thinking the same thing. I just checked with an engine and Qxb7 was the only winning move. Fortunately for the speedrun the opponent blundered further.
24:39 i think you missed Nd3
Random 1100: Finds a sweet winning tactic against a gm
Same 1100: just straight up hangs his queen ten moves later
Chess is wild
cool shirt Simon! :)
Why? Why? I have no f----- idea!
“Be water”. Bruce Lee
Lippy looks great today
@8:41 could of got a quicker mate with queen to H file
26:04 opponent had bxf7 kxf7 qh5+
Baby_Dolphin... oh my word... 👀
Wth you were almost losing 😭
There are more chess permutations than there are atoms in the universe. No wonder the game has drove me insane, lol. Great videos by the way.

Well bishop h3 is checkmate. you can then play knight f3 and its over
You missed a check mate in 2 moves. You need to wake up and grow a pair!!
Only joking
@@lazarerollin5608 he actually missed at 24:12. bishop h3 is winning. after that he can play knight f3 and gg
