- Grandmaster Analysis of one of my recent games against Alex Longson. In this game I played an opening that is quickly becoming my main weapon against 1 e4. Tiger's Modern; a very exciting opening which is a great way to play for a win with Black.

Can we say this is one of the personal Mona Lisas of the Ginger GM?
Simon I've been a Huge Fan for several years and loved the way you presented this game so much that I've watched it X3 now and have saved it to my Chess File. Thank You so much for another outstanding instructional video on an opening so dynamic and popular. Loved your explanations on personal reasoning during he match! A+ material here. As Always Friend Blessings from Oregon. ... Mike.
@29:27 a smoother win is Be5 (instead of Qc3+). Threatens Bxd4# and white can only defend it with Rhd1 (but then Qxd1+ and black immediately wins both rooks).
Nicely spotted.
so nasty x)
I think it's a mate in 6 too but I didn't check with the comp
I have only just found this, but I love the brilliance of trying to remember what some bloke told you in a shed whilst having drunk too much beer. Chess gold.
Great Attacking game Simon !
Thank you for this video, my favourite of yours thus far.
I love it when Simon plays well. Such exciting chess!!!
This was brilliantly played, well done!
Nice one! Thanks for taking the time!
excellent game and analysis, congratulations on the win!
Thank you very much. These analysis videos are so instructive!
Simon, at 22:20 in your variation after 23.Ba5 Rxb2! 24.Kxb2, the winning continuation is 24...Qb8 25.Kc1 (alternatives lose the Queen to discoveries) 25...Bf4+ 26.Rd2 (everything else leads to quick checkmate) 26...Qb3, winning the house.
I was curious and looked over the game with Stockfish running, I don't want to pretend this was my own idea :)
Great game, cheers!
I got quite intrigued by your game, and as I often do when observing interesting games, annotated it for learning purposes.
Let me know if you want me to email you my annotated pgn - I think it covers most important variations.
Nice game, Simon. Your style holds true
I first learned of the G6 opening when I was a kid. The first chess book I ever bought was 'Steve Davis Plays Chess' in which David Norwood taught him to play at tournament level. I would highly recommend it as a way to encourage English kids to play with a familiar face they've seen off the tele.
Great game and analysis! I wish I had the time to study all of these different openings. But I can't squeeze Tiger's Modern into my repertoire right now.
In the position at 24:00 , might it be possible to play Kb1 with White? The idea is ...Qxc4 Qd2 (it seems essential for the white king to stay on b1, the only square where you can even dream about safety) Qb3 Qb2 seems to hold for the moment, as Rb8 can always be blocked with Bb4. I didn't check this with the engine to leave some fun in it, so if anybody has an idea, please challenge this setup! :) Great game btw!
GG! I've heard from 2 titled friends that Tiger's Modern (3... a6) is so sharp that it's addictive :D (I used to play 3... c5 instead in my repertoire.) Also, thanks for boosting my confidence as @26:48, the correct move came to my mind instantly as the first candidate to consider. Apparently, I've become a bit better at pattern recognition over the last year.
Plz play more Modern Benoni! It fits you so well!
Splendid!!
I am trying to follow Purdy's advice on chess training by playing over master games and guessing the next move, but I find watching Ginger GM's analysing his own games more enjoyable. like no.384 here.
A bit of pedantry about the naming @2:24: 1. 'Pirc' is pronounced as follows: ruclips.net/video/N2stSGDgnaU/видео.html
2. Afaik, the name 'Pirc Defence' is applied only to those move orders where Black plays g6, d6, Nf6 (without e5) within the first 4 or so moves *and* White plays Nc3 without c4. (The most common move order is 1. e4 d6 2. d4 Nf6 3. Nc3 g6.)
The name 'Modern Defence' is applicable to any system where Black fianchettoes on g7 (without occupying the centre with a pawn) but *delays* Nf6 (to defend h6 twice like you said, but more importantly, to keep the big diagonal open for the bishop) that isn't a transposition to the (Hyper-)Accelerated Dragon Sicilian nor to the King's Indian.
These openings are obviously closely related but the names aren't synonyms.
The erroneous naming bothered me as well. It's needlesly confusing people who want to explore the opening further.
thanks thats very good game and analysis
Also, please do an educational video on the Tigers Modern, I know a DVD is on the way (I will buy it) but my countries national tournament's semi final stage is coming up and I really want to play this in the tournament
Chomp Games how was it?
@17:00 can you sac the queen with bxa3 instead of castling?! If he takes the queen on a4 you mate in two with a2 check (?)... I problably overlooked something as I'm a complete patzer :)
12:45 why is castling not considered?
Thank you for this video and congratulations with perfect result (for now) at 4NCL!
I think this kind of positions is bad for me as I fail to create all passible threats... ))) Need to work on tactics more )
Grats on the win.
Dear Sir Simon Williams,
Huge fan of your work and commentating prowess as well as your overall entertaining demeanor. A few questions which pertains to the "Tiger's Modern defense".
a) When will your DVD on the defense be available ?
b) Do you offer an option where one can Download the video content instead of purchasing the DVD ? ( I haven't used a DVD player in ages!!
c) I was contemplating purchasing Tiger Hillarp Perssons book "The Modern Tiger" but I'm always skeptical of purchasing books since opening theory changes every other week in the chess world. Should I give it a go nonetheless ?
Thank you for your time and continued success.
thx Simon first this exciting Game, the analysis is superb, a lot of Fun!!
simon, in your analysis of the white queen coming to g4, why not play f5 forking the white bishop and queen? he would take your knight with check you take back with the bishop and then he moves his queen in which you could move your bishop back to g7 and i think you are ok in that position.
Man I love the tiger modern
Man, this game is insane...
What if White plays Bh6 instead of o-o-o, preventing the black king from castling?
Personally I would play Bxc3 and Rg8 with the idea of g5 possibly, the c-pawns are a good source of counterplay and blacks king appears reasonably safe to me because of the central pawn majority covering it and having pieces around. Also black's remaining bishop is godlike.
Still very unclear of course, but that's what it's the tiger for
Wait it's been 10 months, I can't find the DVD for this Tiger's opening
why not take whites dark square bishop instead of the knight? i thought in togers modern its ideal if you can to get rid of the dark bishop so mate is harder without whites dark bishop?
Damn that was cool
woo! Figured out the critical move at ~28mins
i found almost immediately bf4!! yay gotta love intuition
Speaking of Tiger's Modern, here's another entertaining example, one at the super-GM level: the Armageddon tiebreak game of the match between Wei Yi and Richard Rapport: www.chessgames.com/perl/chessgame?gid=1849825 I guess, Tiger didn't have a chance to mention it on the DVD - it was played on Dec 23, 2016.
That game hints that 1... g6 2... Bg7 3... a6!? is a bit more precise a move order than 3... d6 4... a6!?. The former allows Black to meet 4. f4 & 4. h4 with 4... d5(!) (which works vs 1. e4 2. d4 3. Nc3 as well as vs 3. c4). White's other common 4th moves (Be3, a4, Nf3) after 3. Nc3 can still be met with 4... d6, and so can 4. e5?!.
Musing more on the move order, 1... a6 is fine to troll casual opponents :D, but the thing is that the early a6 is optimal vs Nc3 only. Vs 1. e4 g6 2. d4 Bg7 3. c4, Black has a couple of seemingly better options, in my impression.
One is 3... Nc6 intending 4... e5 5. d5 Nd4, basically, a KID on steroids (Black normally doesn't get an outpost on d4 in the usual KID). If White exchanges on d4, Black will have a passed pawn there supported by the g7 bishop and will then put a pawn on c5 in order to allow his knight to come to f6 interposing the bishop (though Nh6-g4 is sometimes an option too).
Another one, offbeat, is a gambit: 3... e6!? 4. Nc3 Ne7 5. Nf3 d5!? 6. e5 c5!? 7. dxc5 Nd7; 6. cxd5 exd5 7. exd5 c6!?.
Nice Game!
This is exciting game
You've met Tiger?! My goddd he's amazing
I came up with Nf3 instead of BF4. Is there some defence I missed?
Ey Simon, which of your DVDs do you recommend for a beginner who wants to learn an opening as white?
Great stuff btw
Killer D4
Morning to everyone watching
How much time do you normally spend at calculating so deeply in such complex positions so well? What I do is I calculate for 10 minutes but can't quite see as many critical variations as you do, so I get nervous and play quick moves which are basically intuition and which are often mistakes.
My move at the critical moment of this game was Bf4, Correct!
Very nice game.
Simon DO THE LONDON VIDEO! I'm waiting to be fully equipped for the opening......Also, in your games...PLAY TH THE BUDAPEST GAMBIT!
Cheers!
immortality!!!!
where do you get the energy to play like this from?
Took me about 10 minutes or more to find ...Bf4. And that's only 'cuz it was prompted. Yet another difference between GMs, IMs and the rest of us.
Hey 😁
Bishop F4 got it , damn I'm improving xD
I could hardly believe you beat someone with a 2300 elo rating after all the blitz you played recently...
Vote for Donald Trump ur surprised that a very good gm won against a very good im??blitz is a whole different story. in classicsl you can plan things out and the possibility of blunder is extremely low in comparison with blitz
Why would that make difference,
10:20 "F***in' e-pawns"? Language, Simon! There might be children watching!
I am a Lovely viewer!
2:10
"its going to be a very interesting dvd - the 2 of us, doing it" 😳oof
Every Simon's video has 1 dislike. Who da fuk that guy?
Tyler Ted Danny Rensch
i disagree rc8 looks natural why not pon takes bishop and if rook takes queen akes pon
chedelton ? ? great place to smoke weed !
wtf is with all these dvds? why is Europe like 15 years behind the real world in technology?
Almost all of his "dvds" are available via download. And smh at you implying that Europe is not the real world.
Why not check the facts before sounding silly? In Europe, there are websites where you can get information (requires reading skills).
Ginger GM's DVDs (and like Jigga said, digital downloads) are, next to the industry leader's, among the highest quality chess productions available.
Silly Euros... next they are going to be like, "three easy installments of $19.99, and NO c.o.d.s!!"
Don't get angry at me because you're 15 years behind normal people...
I used to live in the US for over nine years until last year, and I don't think Americans are idiots at all, but actually very friendly and welcoming people.
I didn't mean to start an argument, sorry if I sounded somewhat rude. I really like Simon's work, but I suppose I could have expressed my opinion in a more positive way :) Cheers!
by 3 dvds and get a kings gambit laser disc for free!
or even better queen takes a3 end of story
