Simon is such a fantastic communicator. In the thick of the GM-level action, you can still follow exactly what's happening and what the plans are. What a brilliant start to the evening. Good luck qualifying for the CCT, Simon.

Well done! Thomas Beerdsen just won the "Utrecht open" and is seen as one of the big talents here in Holland.

What excellent timing! I've just sat down with a tactical after-work beer. Good luck Sensible Simon!

Strategic bottle of Whiskey for me, I'm on the bus to work tomorrow so it doesn't matter if I'm still over the limit tomorrow morning!

The man with the sensible style raises his hat. well deserved half point. i really appreciate that GingerGM banters although playing for big money. a man of principles.

Good job of staying focused on the job, when the word BEER was being dangled blatantly for the whole game ! 👍🏼

[@Xialo_Universe_Art]

Well 94 on both sides is very nice! gg sensible Simon!

[@interstellarbeatteller9306]

Simon's prep for this game:
Went to a boxing gym, ate a vindaloo, got drunk, woke up hungover, ate leftover vindaloo, played Chess

You’re strategic evaluations are invaluable for your audience Simon! Thanks for sharing these awesome chess vids GM Williams! In my opinion people of all levels really benefit from your videos. Cheers!

[@yandoru]

this is the first time I see Simon accepts the draw 😮 (watching him play for years now)

[@bkokohut1980]

Simon, get back streaming on twitch!

[@NA-qk1im]

GingerGM, never doubt yourself. You can definitely play this!

[@DanniDay-sd2cv]

That was some battle. Well fought Simon.

[@maxytwist]

Had my very first over the board game in the pub yesterday. Ground out an undeserved victory in the endgame against a 9 year old. Was very tempted to say put that in your pipe and smoke it when I got the checkmate. 😂

[@hatschibumdatschi4595]

thought after f3 there is Bxc3?

[@TSMC123]

Are you really suggesting a question mark move

[@hatschibumdatschi4595]

@@TSMC123 I doubt its strong, because engine analysis showed great accuracy. But why doesnt it work? Bxc3 and if Rxc3 i have Qd4 forking the rook, was my idea.

[@TSMC123]

@@hatschibumdatschi4595 the engine will tell you why it wouldn't work. I'm an 1800 noob

[@josketobben]

@@hatschibumdatschi4595 wins a pawn, but opens up the file for the rook which would love coming to c7

You had Bxc3 winning a pawn and if Rxc3 you had Qd4+
