The chess you're playing is really inspired, man. Full of fighting spirit, deep explanations, and great humor. Loved that 100% tactics message at the end!
Man I just bursted out laughing when you forgot your queen was on prea against Pragg. You were literally steamrolling the bugger. What a pity but... Yeah again thanks for the entertainment and the aggressiveness on the board. Cheers Simon I'll ask Santa for a beer with you in a chess pub this year. A Guinness please
1:03:58 Grandmaster Simon, you do this because you love chess and you are a true ambassador of humanity as expressed in chess. Thank you and please continue with the awareness of doing essential good.
Watched the first game. You had an unbelievable amount of time. The inherent advantage of the Dutch. 46:00 was a nice tri-fork threat by the king. I always forget to activate my king. Lots of nice moves...49:13 ...Qe8 is like the GP Attack for black. Nice.
I really appreciate your videos. Your real and human reactions to losing and your willingness to let us see that is refreshing and welcome. I can totally relate to wanting to curse, after a loss or a bad move so thank you for being real. Likewise, the excitement in your voice as you crush your opponents is also very entertaining. I also really appreciate that you are not doing “shout outs“ during your chess games like so many other RUclipsrs because that crap is very annoying. Please continue making great instructional videos for us
I do wish Ginger played his game against strong opponents instead of mentally collapsing immediately. Surprising considering he must have been able to overcome many mental blocks on his way to become a gm
I'd love to see Simon play on Zen mode. Then after the game he can see who he played against. That way, he can go for his absolute shenanigans without any of the doubt when he comes up against top players. Imagine he gets a legendary win against a top player by sacking his queen or some shit hahahaha
By the way Simon, last blitz session you played excellent, if you are trying to play sensibly and make it educational (not just mental) you play your best and win a lot more.
Old man sympathies, and that comment re dominating opponents before blundering - that's me last 4 over the board games - 3 wins turned into draws, another into a loss, should be circa 60 points better off, but nope, I'm a doddery blunderer. Love your vids, best wishes Steve, 57, underachiever 😂
It's hard to be a Simon Williams fan sometimes. Was majorly hopefull you'd take Pragg down there. Can you get your missus to look after that cooking fat during TT next week? Or hire a cat sitter?
You had some heartbreaks, like against Pragg and Harshavardhan, but that game against Decuigniere (where essentially you were giving time odds and playing a Bullet game) was pure focused beauty and was well-earned recovery point (played to mate!). Once again, top banter, top creativity, and top education from the chess world's top streamer. That "positional chess" bit at the final game was hilarious. White's knight was like a drunk on a pub crawl far away from home, lost his keys, passed out, and froze to death in an alley.
Bro, that queen hanging against Prag was heartbreaking. It's like one of those movies were the main character is some thug, but you still like him, and then when it seems like he's doing really well, the cops get him
Some real fire in those games, with just the occasional wet blanket thrown in to keep from burning down the house! Great games, especially those Dutches, and the Bird was so much fun to watch. P.S. Just picked up the Killer-GrandPrix course as I've been wanting to learn about this properly for some time. Fingers crossed I can do the course proud :)
Simon great stuff highly entertaining chess when you talk about your game and your moves you play fantastic chess but when you start going off topic you can suffer You are right you would have beaten Prag if you stayed in the zone I am learning piano and as soon as stray thoughts enter my head I start making mistakes big time
Hi simon you're right positional chess is nonsense. I created the right version of chess with no positional chess involved. You change the original position of the black king and queen (only them!) and that's it. The starting position suddenly become asymetric. Short castle by both side lead to an opposite side castle position. Just to make sure it stay that way I also abolished long castle. The game is validated by engine. It's balanced. All game become crazy attack. Even stockfish wanna play g5 and h5 in every mainline. I'm absolutely sure this is what chess should have been. In the beginning in chaturanga the starting position was assymetrical! Even in japanese chess the starting position is assymetrical. Anyway hope you test it one day :)
Always root for Ginger, but it is nice to see a GM lose like me every once in a while... "Blimey! I forgot about that bloody piece!" I feel your pain. Give 'em hell Simon.
Next week: Bird with white, Dutch / Black Lion with black, but play every game positionally unless they insist. Tame Lion against the best lines. 8 out of 12 guaranteed!
Credit to Simon, I live with a bonkers, out to get or take from me mind-set, a mind-shadow person, it's grueling, but yes, it's also that one turd with no toilet paper to wipe it away.
Your so damn good Simon but you are your own worst enemy ! You had the winning moves in all the first 4 games but bitched out of playing them , but God I love watching u play chess
I watch The Overlap and GingerGM playing TT, and my week feels complete. Thank goodness you're back, Simon.
we'll stay with you forever Simon! the original and best chess youtuber!
Game vs Pragg was hysterical. 😂
Thought he had that one, so much wanted victory over the little guy.
So much fun haha
I said out loud, "aren't you just losing your queen?", right before he lost his queen 🤣
For a moment I thought he was pulling a Rosen, but no...
*historical
Great return. Winning positions in all 11 games I think! He’s back. Will buy a course!
Thanks for the fun Simon! So glad you are posting more videos lately! Greetings from Arizona
Best channel on youtube! Thank you Simon for hilarious and instructional chess. Don't ever stop please.
Simon was extremely hilarious this time
"He's a creep, yeah, a bloody creep. Hovering on the side watching, That's what that knight is. A creep!" LOL...Simon's words of wisdom.
Simon, Micronesia is the flag you were trying to see in the last game. Welcome back to TT action!
I think so too
Came to say the same
Always a joy to watch you scare other titled players with your wild openings!
The chess you're playing is really inspired, man. Full of fighting spirit, deep explanations, and great humor. Loved that 100% tactics message at the end!
Another Williams banger

just fyi: 'en pris'
@ZakBaiShaolin oh yeah ? Thanks that's french then isn't it
@@ZakBaiShaolinfinally I know how it is spelled... couldn't figure out what he says for years (I'm not a native speaker)
@@ZakBaiShaolinthank you so much
Yay! You're back! 🎉

1:03:58
Grandmaster Simon, you do this because you love chess and you are a true ambassador of humanity as expressed in chess. Thank you and please continue with the awareness of doing essential good.
what a good episode. had a good laugh here and there.
RUclips was a dark, dismal place without your titled tuesdays Simon
that is so true

we like it thats why youve got to do it and the banter keep it up Ginger we love you
I love when Simon talks trash. And serves himself up some credit. It's ok we all know you are humble so it is funny.
Loved the personality and the chess, fun and instructional as always
Simon doesn't seem keen on titled Tuesday these days.
A great shame.
The main reason I'm subscribed

And not immediately blame the cat whenever there is a strong opponent!
@@leoblum0631 Charlie makes note of his voice getting louder and thinks it is time to get out for a walk.

I woke up this and had myself a beer....then watched ginger gm m
Yes, of course we've heard of James Plaskett!
Brain the size of a planet.
By the way Simon, last blitz session you played excellent, if you are trying to play sensibly and make it educational (not just mental) you play your best and win a lot more.
What keeps me coming back for more time after time is the spectacular snatching of defeat from the jaws of victory.
Always so much fun to watch these!

0:49
Duncan's clock when Simon captured on d4: 2 minutes 44 seconds
Duncan's clock when he finally made the obvious recapture: 1 minute 21 seconds!
Oh dear Simon!! Welcome back!!
50 moves of Rook vs Rook is hilarious.
That Dutch against the Czech kid was pure filth mate.
Welcome back mate!
48:30I am dying 😂
Brilliant stuff Simon !!
I'll forever remember that positional chess is a load of bollox 😂
Bro, that queen hanging against Prag was heartbreaking. It's like one of those movies were the main character is some thug, but you still like him, and then when it seems like he's doing really well, the cops get him
Just the best. Please write your memoirs 'More tears into the Tea Cup'.
Decent return to action, nice
'If he does that shit, can I do that shit? Or is that bat shit?'
"Cojones the size of Jericho'
Some real fire in those games, with just the occasional wet blanket thrown in to keep from burning down the house! Great games, especially those Dutches, and the Bird was so much fun to watch.
P.S. Just picked up the Killer-GrandPrix course as I've been wanting to learn about this properly for some time. Fingers crossed I can do the course proud :)
where is new video？😢
I felt physically sick when you lost your Queen against Pragg. Please stop endangering my health!
Nooooooooooooooooooo that Prag game will haunt me for ages, never mind you! Oh f***
1:05:08 counting to four by thumb pointer middle pinky lol it's actually kind of hard to do
wow. that Queen 'sac' against Pragg. my worst fears come true when I watch GingerGM.
Good stuff as usual. Try turning the names off so you are not subconsciously intimidated by the ratings son!
I prefer the OTB game videos …good to see you are registered for Reykjavik! 😀👍
2:06 😂 this is why I love watching you
Entertaining as always! Great job. But I was hoping you would play the Löwenthal Sicilian instead of the Dragon
Great fun as usual! Cheers Simon. 7/11 is really good. Don't get so depressed! Who was that guy in round 2? Looks like a mafia bagman LOL.
RUclips abandoned for a commentary gig.
For a chess fix try blunderman, or voltzchess, both a good watch.
good lesson of positional chess
What a lovely episode again. Heartbreaking queen sac in the pragg game my lord
YES
1:18:38, I think Simon would have won that up a rook..
Unfortunately he was in check to win that rook!
@@gepardati2351right you are. unfortunate
Please come back, we understand you suffer at these but the entertainment is tip top.
1:29:20 The flag is Micronesia.
Man I was yelling at the screen when you were playing that 3000 rated player
Yelling or Laughing, Ginger GM aims to please.
You are the best! all too human!
you should do a few puzzle rush vids just to improve your time pressure skills
1:03:00 f8=Q and the rook is pinned!
Instant win
Simon great stuff highly entertaining chess when you talk about your game and your moves you play fantastic chess but when you start going off topic you can suffer
You are right you would have beaten Prag if you stayed in the zone
I am learning piano and as soon as stray thoughts enter my head I start making mistakes big time
I think you were on a bit more that Caffeine, Simon. You speed demon. LOL
Simon you said a few streams ago you would use that plug-in that blocks the name/rating of your opponent.
You silly sod... should have had 9 points. Another superb TT
Hi simon you're right positional chess is nonsense.
I created the right version of chess with no positional chess involved.

Anyway hope you test it one day :)
everytime you play positional chess, the tactics seem to work out much better though :)
Plzz, dont stop uploading sir😢😢😢❤❤❤❤😅
Thanks for amazing stream. That game with Pragg😭 Close your opponents name and rating finally!
Always root for Ginger, but it is nice to see a GM lose like me every once in a while... "Blimey! I forgot about that bloody piece!" I feel your pain. Give 'em hell Simon.
My comfort character is back
All I saw at Glastonbury was the ruins of the abbey. We missed all the hippy stuff.
1:33:15-1:35:28 - that is the youtube short you looking for :)
fantastic
Next week: Bird with white, Dutch / Black Lion with black, but play every game positionally unless they insist. Tame Lion against the best lines. 8 out of 12 guaranteed!
SIMON YA STINKAH WHERE ART THOU!
Ginger haven't watched it all yet, but spanking 2400s like they're 1500s
we back
That’s Entertainment 😎
ratings !?! PLAY THE GAME BASED ON THE POSITION !! Based on what the pieces are doing, ever tried doing that ?📯🏅🏅
Don’t worry Simon, I loose my queen like this every other day!
Credit to Simon, I live with a bonkers, out to get or take from me mind-set, a mind-shadow person, it's grueling, but yes, it's also that one turd with no toilet paper to wipe it away.
Your so damn good Simon but you are your own worst enemy ! You had the winning moves in all the first 4 games but bitched out of playing them , but God I love watching u play chess
yus!
did we get a mate da fakka?
Kazakstan?
U r hilarious 😂
Absolute box office
Needle in the eyeballs 😂 . Serious though you literally outplayed everyone of your opponents
What a roller coaster, with high laughs per minute.
I have an extremely bloody large head. Poor mum. Hahahahaha!
Daniel was using a chess engine, it's not an accusation,, he slipped. Has nothing to do with kramlik ffs
Don't take these losses too seriously, you're such great player anyway
